CAUTIONS:
•Be sure that the rechargeable battery is fully charged. Otherwise, the unit may shut off, leaving recording unfinished.
•While “UTOC Writing” is displayed, do not disconnect the power source or subject the unit to the vibration to avoid incorrect recording.
Notes
•The recording operation is possible only with the buttons on the unit.
•When a stereo signal is recorded in MONO mode, stereo sound will be heard though the signal is correctly recorded in MONO mode.
In MONO mode, the recordable time becomes two times longer than the recording time labeled on the MD.

Adjusting the recording level (for analog input only)
The recording level should be adjusted so that the peak level meter does not reach the OVER mark to avoid distort- ing the recording signal.
Press the 4 or ¢ buttons on the unit to decrease or increase the recording level. You can change the recording level between “REC LEVEL 01” to “REC LEVEL 24”.
Note
Even if the recording level is set to “REC LEVEL 01”, the input signal is recorded at a minimum level.
Track marking
• Whenever playback at the source side advances from one track to another during digital recording, the track number of the MD is automatically incremented by 1.
• Whenever no sound at the playback side continues for 3 or more seconds during analog/digital or microphone recording, the track number of the MD is automatically incremented by 1.
• During analog/digital or microphone recording, you can increment the track number by 1 by sliding the REC button. (By adding the track number in this way, you can edit the recording contents later using the edit functions, such as
