I have stored many CD's, from both original disc and burned copies. From memory when you insert a CD there is a Icon on the touch screen asking you if you want to record it, just touch the icon and it will start recording while it is playing. It does take 5 minutes or so for it to fully record so you have to just let it run until it is finished. You can also set it to automatically record everytime you insert a CD thru the on screen options menu. If you dont have navigation your out of luck on recording.
