An audio signal from a variety of sources can be recorded by using either digital or analog

input as required.

Things to know before recording ——————————

•It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded tapes,

records, or discs without the consent of the owner of copyright in the

sound or video recording, broadcast or cable programme and in any

literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic embodied therein.

• Carefully read the “Rule on Digital Copying” on page 33.

• The MD recorder supports the following sampling frequencies for digital sources and

lights the sampling frequency being received on the display.

32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz

• Recording level adjustment:

When recording through a digital input terminal, the recording level is automatically set

correctly.

When recording through an analog input terminal, it is necessary to adjust the recording

level properly.

• The accidental erasure protect tab is provided on the back of an MD cartridge to prevent

accidental erasure or recording. It must be set to the close position before recording.

Otherwise, “DISC PROTECTED” will appear when you try to record a signal to the

MD.

• When you stick an adhesive label onto the MD cartridge, adhere it securely. If it peels

off, ejection trouble, etc. will occur.

• Be sure that the MD is not of Playback-only type. (See “Two disc types” on page 34.)

• Be sure that the MD has enough space for recording. If not, carry out ALL ERASE or

ERASE function to erase all the tracks or unwanted tracks in the MD. You can check

the recordable remaining time of the MD. (See “To display the remaining recording

time” on page 16.)
