Before pulling out the mains lead

MD recording is completed when the MD Table of Contents (TOC) is updated. The TOC is updated when you eject the MD or press ?/1 to turn off the system. Do not pull out the mains lead before updating the TOC (while “TOC” is lit) or while updating the TOC (while “TOC” is flashing) to ensure a complete recording.

Note

If the MD is record protected, “C11” and “Protected” appear alternately and the MD cannot be recorded. Remove the MD, then slide the record protection tab to the closed position (see page 25).

Labelling titles during recording

If “CD TEXT” lights up or flashes during recording, you can record the CD TEXT information on to the MD as follows:

• Automatically during recording

If you record on an unrecorded or completely erased (see page 38) MD when “CD TEXT” is lit, the CD TEXT information is automatically recorded.

• Manually during recording

When “CD TEXT” flashes, press NAME EDIT on the remote, and then press ENTER/YES on the remote to record the title of the current track.

Note

Depending on the disc, the CD TEXT information may not be recorded automatically.
