8 – Dubbing from CD to MD

The MD-CD1 makes it easy to dub from CD to MD. Selected tracks or the entire disc can be dubbed.

Basic dubbing operation

First, load the CD to be used as the dubbing source into the CD deck, then insert a recordable MiniDisc into the MD deck.

To dub the entire CD

While the CD deck is stopped, press the DUBBING key on either the front panel or the remote control.

To dub a selected track on the CD

During playback of the desired track, or when that track is cued and the deck is in playback standby mode, press the DUBBING key on either the front panel or the remote control.

When the track is ﬁnished dubbing, both decks will stop.

NOTE

Dubbing is performed in the preset recording mode and recording speed. For details, refer to the following.

Recording mode setting

Using the “REC MODE?” option on the REC sub- menu of the MD menu, select the recording mode from the following choices.

ST:	standard stereo	default, with no
	recording mode	display indication

MONO	monaural record-	“MONO” lights
	ing mode	up in the display

LP2	half-speed stereo	“LP2” lights up in
	recording mode	the display

LP4	quarter-speed ste-	“LP4” lights up in
	reo recording	the display
	mode

NOTE

In MONO mode, only the left channel is recorded, and the recording time is twice that in ST mode.

The recording time in LP2 mode is twice that in ST mode.

The recording time in LP4 mode is four times that in ST mode.

The remaining MD recording time indicated depends upon the recording mode setting.

Recordings made in different recording modes can be combined on the same disc.

Since a special data compression technology is used for LP4 mode (quarter-time recording for four times the recording time in stereo), there is the very slight possi- bility of spikes of noise being generated. If sound qual- ity is an important consideration, we do not recommend the use of the LP4 mode.

Dubbing speed setting

Use the “REC SPEED?” option on the REC sub- menu of the MD menu to select either “NORMAL” or “HIGH” speed dubbing.

NORMAL: dubbing is performed during regular playback

HIGH: dubbing speed depends on the MD recording mode, as indicated below.

MD recording mode	source	dubbing speed
	disc

Standard mode	audio	4X speed
	CD
