Recording on an MD
Before You Start Recording on an MD
•It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright owner.
•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 on such an MD from the beginning, you have to erase its contents first (see “Erasing All Tracks
•When an MD is fully recorded, recording will stops automatically.
•The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the volume level. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.
•While recording, you can hear sound mode effect and/or the AHB PRO (Active Hyper Bass PRO) effect through the speakers or headphones. However, the sound is recorded without these effects (see pages 11 and 12).
•When selecting DISC or
•You cannot record more than 254 tracks onto an MD, even if there is still enough recording time remaining on it.
About the track marks
When playing an MD, you can move among the tracks.
You can do this because there is a mark recorded at the beginning 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 using disc synchronized recording, a track mark is recorded at the beginning of each track. You cannot put a track mark manually.
•When recording from an analog source such as FM, AM, TAPE, or AUX, you can select “MANUAL MARK,” “TIME AUTO MARK,” and “AUTO TRK MARK” by pressing SET (see page 49).
To add a track mark after recording is over, you can use the
DIVIDE function (see page 64).
To avoid erasing important recordings
The recordable MD has an erasure prevention tab so that important recordings are not accidentally erased. When you finish recording or editing, slide to open the erasure prevention tab on the cartridge side surface. New recording or editing is now no longer possible. (If you try to do, “DISC PROTECTED” appears on the display.)
