9 – MD recording from an external source—Overwrite recording

Overwrite recording

This function is used to record a new signal over a previously recorded but unwanted portion of the disc.

Before following the procedure below, make sure that basic recording preparations have been com- pleted, a recordable disc is inserted, and the deck is in stop mode.

1Locate the point at which you wish to begin overwrite recording, press the READY key, and the deck will go into playback standby mode.

To start overwrite recording from the begin- ning of a certain track, use the SKIP keys or the number keys to select the track, then press the READY key.

To start overwrite recording from the middle of a certain track, use the SKIP keys or the

number keys to select the desired track, then press the PLAY key to begin playback (you can also use the Search function). At the desired point, press the READY key.

2Press the RECORD key, “Over Write” will be shown on the display, and the deck will enter recording standby mode.

Adjust the recording level if necessary.

3Press the PLAY key and overwrite recording begins.

NOTE

When “SINGLE,” “RANDOM” or “PROGRAM” lights up in the display, overwrite recording cannot be per- formed. In the case of step 2 above, “Can’t Rec” will be displayed.

Sync recording

The Sync recording function automatically begins recording when the signal from external equipment is present in the source input. Plus, if silence in the source signal continues for more than four seconds, the deck is automatically put into the recording standby mode.

Before following the procedure below, make sure that basic recording preparations have been com- pleted, a recordable disc is inserted, and the deck is in stop mode.

1Press the SYNC key on the remote control to select on or off.

You can also switch the SYNC recording function on or off using the “SYNC?” option on the REC sub-menu of the MD menu.

2Set the signal detection threshold level using the “SYNC LEVEL?” option on the REC sub-menu of the MD menu. The level can be set from –72 dB to –30 dB in 6 db increments. The default setting is –30 dB.

3Press the RECORD key to enter recording standby mode.

NOTE

4Input the source signal.

When a source signal is detected, recording begins automatically.

If the signal is under the threshold level for over four seconds, the deck automatically enters recording standby mode.

NOTE

During SYNC recording standby, recording cannot be started manually by pressing the PLAY key.

5To manually stop recording, press the STOP key.

NOTE

During SYNC recording, even if the READY key is pressed, the recording standby mode cannot be entered. (The key cannot be used to pause recording.)

The INPUT SEL key does not function during SYNC recording.

After SYNC recording finishes and the deck enters recording standby mode, if the power is turned off the recording data will be deleted. Make sure to press the STOP key so that the U-TOC is written onto the disc before turning the power off.

In this status, recording will begin as soon as a source signal is input.
