■Recording from a portable MD player (MD 0 MD Edit)
By connecting a portable MD player which has an MD 0 MD Edit function, you can easily record the sound and the character information all at the same time.
1 Connect the unit to a portable MD player. (Page 45)
2 Load a recordable MD into this unit, and load the MD to be played into the portable MD player.
3 Check the recording mode by pressing the REC MODE button. 4 Check the recordable time by pressing the MD 0 MD button. 5 Press the MD 0 MD button again.
●Recording will begin.
●If the MiniDisc to be played has track names, "NAME READING" will flash and then the track names will be displayed and recorded.
●If the playback MiniDisc has a disc name, after all of the tracks have been recorded, the disc name will be recorded. Then, the unit will stop automatically.
To record from a track which is in the middle of a MiniDisc:
1 After performing step 4, select the track number you want to record using the jog dial.
2 Press the MD 0 MD button.
To record only a single track:
1 After performing step 4, select the track number you want to record using the jog dial.
2 Press the TRACK EDIT button.
3 Press the MD 0 MD button.
●When only a single track is recorded, the disc name will not be recorded.
Before performing the MD 0 MD Edit operation
The MD 0 MD Edit function makes analogue recordings.
●If the MiniDisc you are recording on already has a disc name, the disc name cannot be recorded over.
If you want to record a new disc name, you must erase the existing disc name before entering a new disc name.
●In the case of a commercially manufactured MD music disc, "PLAY BACK MD" will be displayed. The sound will be recorded, however, the disc name and track names will not be recorded.
●If the length of a track is very short, it may be impossible to record the complete track name.
●A maximum of 100 characters can be recorded in the MD 0 MD Edit func- tion, including both the disc name and all of the track names.
●The volume, sound quality and recording level will be adjusted automatically. The level meter may swing to "OVER", depending on the sound to be played whilst recording. However, this will not affect the recording.
●It is better to use the AC adaptor for the portable MD player. Otherwise, the recording may be stopped if the batteries run down whilst recording.
●A MiniDisc containing 255 tracks cannot use the MD 0 MD Edit function. To use it, first delete some tracks using the edit function.
●If you want to record a specific track, or if you start recording from a track in the middle of the disc, the recordable time will not be displayed. If there is not enough recordable time on the target MiniDisc, the recording will stop in the middle of a track.
●The shorter the track names are, the shorter the period of time that "NAME READING" will be displayed.
●If the MiniDisc has a scratch or is dirty, the disc name and the track names may not be recorded.
In such a case, restart the recording again or add the disc name and track names using the DISC NAME function and the TRACK NAME function, after you are through recording.
