Tracks created by editing may exhibit sound dropouts as you’re searching for a point while monitoring the sound.

Some tracks cannot be combined with others

Tracks may not be combined if they have been edited.

Track numbers are not marked correctly

Incorrect assignment or marking of track numbers may result when CD tracks are divided into several smaller tracks during digital recording. Depending on the material recorded, when “Track Mark” of the Setup Menu was set to “Level Sync” and the track number automatically assigned during recording, the track number may not have been accurately assigned.

“TOC Reading” appears for a long time

If the inserted recordable MD is brand new, “TOC Reading” will appear in the display for a longer period than for already-used MDs.

The correct recorded/playing time may not be displayed during playback of MDs recorded in monaural mode.

Guide to the serial Copy Management

System

Digital audio components, such as CDs, MDs, and DATs, make it easy to produce high-quality copies of music by processing music as a digital signal.

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

You can make only a first-generation copy1) through a digital-to-digital connection.

Examples are as follows:

•You can make a copy of a commercially available digital sound program (for example, a CD or MD), but you cannot make a second copy from the first-generation copy.

•You can make a copy of a digital signal from a digitally recorded analog sound program (for example, an analog record or a music cassette tape) or from a digital satellite broadcast program, but you cannot make a secons copy from the first-generation copy.

1)A first-genaration copy means the first recording of a digital audio source through the recorder’s digital input connector. For example, if you record from a CD player connected to the DIGITAL IN connector, that copy is a first-generation copy.

Notes

The restrictions of the Serial Copy Management System do not apply when you make a recording through the analog-to analog connections.
