Recordings can not be made in the following situations:

Recording on a playback-only MiniDisc (commercially available music).

If a MiniDisc is protected against ac- cidental erasure. (page 10)

About the recording level:

If the recording level is too low, the playback sound volume may be too low to hear well. If it is too high, the playback sound may be greatly dis- torted. Since digitally recorded CDs have a large dynamic range (the vol- ume can vary tremendously from very soft to extremely loud), do not set the recording level any higher than is necessary.

Precautions when recording:

Do not jar or bump the main unit whilst recording. Otherwise, the recording may be unusable.

Depending on the strength and type of playback signal in the original re- cording, the new recording may not begin or pause at the correct point when in the synchro mode. If this hap- pens, try making a manual recording.

Precautions when inserting a MiniDisc:

To insert a MiniDisc, push on the middle of the edge of the disc whilst holding it parallel to the main unit.

If any resistance is felt, do not try to force the MiniDisc into the unit. It may additional more problems. If resis- tance is felt, remove the MiniDisc and try reloading it.
