Sony DHC-MD5 Sound may drop-out while searching the edited tracks, Track numbers cannot be marked

The sound may drop-out while searching the edited tracks

Tracks created through editing may exhibit sound dropout during searching because high-speed playback takes time to search for the position on the disc when the tracks are scattered on the disc.

Track numbers cannot be marked

When “LEVELSYNC ON” (page 26) is displayed during analog recording, the track numbers may not be marked at the beginning of the track:

•if the input signal is below a certain fixed level for less than two seconds

•if the input signal is below a certain fixed level for more than two seconds in the middle of the track.

Guide to the Serial Copy

Management System

Digital audio components, such as CDs, MDs, and DATs let you copy music easily with high quality, for these digital products process music as a digital signal.

To protect the copyrighted music programs, this unit uses the Serial Copy Management System that allows you to make only a single copy of a recorded digital source through digital-to-digital connections.

You can make only a first generation copy* through a digital-to-digital connection.

For example:

1 You can make a copy of a commercially available digital sound programme (e.g., a CD and an MD), but you cannot make a second copy from the first- generation copy.

2 You can make a copy of a digital signal from a digitally recorded analog sound programme (e.g., an analog record and a music cassette tape) or from a digital satellite broadcast programme, but you cannot make a second copy.

*A first-generation copy means a digital recording of a digital signal made on digital audio equipment. For example, if you record from this unit’s CD player to this MD deck, you’d make a first-generation copy.

Notes

•This copy management system doesn’t apply when you make a recording through analog-to- analog connections.

•Since this unit supports 44.1 kHz sampling frequency only, you cannot make a digital recording of a digital satellite broadcast programme, whose sampling frequency is 32 kHz or 48 kHz. To make a digital recording, you need an MD deck or a DAT deck that supports these frequencies. You can also make a second- generation copy.
