Things to Know Before You Start Recording ——————————————
❏It should be noted that it may be unlawful to
❏Press the DOLBY B NR button — the indicator lights up — to reduce tape hiss.
❏When you record onto partially recorded MD, its contents are not erased or overwritten. The recording starts from the point following the last recorded track of the MD.
If you want to record such an MD from the beginning, you have to erase its contents first (see “ALL ERASE Function” on page 48).
❏When recording a source using the Standard Recording (see page 34), you can also record the same source on a tape using the Standard Recording procedure for the Cassette Deck (see page 55).
❏The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME control. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.
❏When recording, you can hear Sound Modes through the speakers or headphones. However, the sound is recorded without Sound Modes (see page 9).
❏To avoid erasing important recordings
Recordable MDs have an accidentally erasure prevention tab so that important recordings are not accidentally erased. When you finish recording or editing, slide open the erasure prevention tab on the cartridge side surface. New recording or editing is now no longer possible. To redo recording or editing, return the tab to the closed position.

About the track marks
When playing an MD, you can move among the tracks using the | or | button or even select directly a |
track using the Remote Control. |
|
|
You can do that because there is a mark recorded at the front of each track enabling you to locate the track. This mark is called a “track mark” and the portion between two adjacent track marks is called a “track”.
❏When recording from a digital source such as the CD Player, a track mark is recorded automatically at the beginning of each track.
❏When recording from a analog source such as the radio, no track mark is recorded. This means that, when playing this MD, the MD Recorder will regard the entire recording as one track (track 1). You will not be able to select directly a song or navigate through them.
You can put track marks manually.
To put a track mark manually, during the recording, press the SET button at the place you want to put a track mark.
The MD Recorder will also consider a blank of 3 seconds or more as a blank separating 2 tracks and consequently put a track mark.
Note:
To add track mark afterwards (when the recording is over), you can use the DIVIDE function (see page 42) to divide a long recording.
