Many thanks to you all for your kindness in trying to help me with this.

After many attempts I've found a way to obtain CDs with tracks but this
involves copying
the Vinyl content into the HDD in All Synchro mode and then record it on
CD/RW stilll in All
Synchro
mode: (notice that not even the smallest adjust is allowed here) and
then copy this to CD/R. I've decided to go for the manual track insert
which, as well as being safer, will give me the pleasure to listen to
some good operas. (In Italy we say: never mind, the grapes were sour!)

However, I feel a bit cheated because when I bought the CD recorder I
was told that this type of copying was very easy and straightforward.
We are now thinking f getting a DVD recorder with HDD and I'm wandering
where and who is going to tell the truth about it's properties.

My best regards.
