Audio CDs only contain two tracks: a left and a right channel. Therefore, if you want to burn a multitrack recording to CD, it has to be mixed down to two tracks. In the BR-1180CD, 9/10 are the designated tracks for this procedure. After you have a mix recorded on tracks 9/10, you can then burn those tracks to CD.
Creating a mixdown via "Bounce" mode:
1. Once you have your material recorded and playing back the way you want it, stop the recorder and hit the ZERO button to rewind to the beginning of the song.
2. Press the REC MODE button so that BOUNCE lights up. At this time 9/10 should be flashing; if not, press the REC TRACK button for 9/10 so it does start flashing.
3. Press the REC button first, it should flash red, and then press PLAY. Let the song play through and when its done press STOP.
4. Press the V-TRACK button, and then the REC TRACK button for 9/10. Look at the screen where it says V-Track. Take note of what number its on because this is what youre going to be burning to CD. For example, if it says V-Track: 1, youre going to burn 9/10-1 to CD.
