Hi Sree,

you are pretty detailed. Unfortunately, your info is somehow incomplete. Please 
let me clarify the missing link:

 - The recycle option "Manual" is not a device attribute - it is a volume 
attribute.
   This means that you cannot set it for a device but when you label the media 
at the earliest point in time.

 - As it is a volume attribute, you must unmount it before you can change it.

 - By default, this is set to "Automatic" - for all media.

 - There in fact is a bug in NW 7.6.1. It will set the attribute to "Manual" by 
default - but exclusively if you use the "New Device Wizard" which labels the 
media without prompting to confirm this attribute. If you use the 
'old-fashioned' method to label the the volume in a separate step, then this 
bug will not show. 

 - This bug has obviously been corrected in NW 7.6.1.7, the latest update
