Recording on MDs

Notes on RecordingIf “Protected” alternates with “C11” in the display

The MD is record-protected. Close the slot to record on the disc (see “To protect an MD against accidental erasure” on page 11).

If “Din Unlock” alternates with “C71” in the display

•The digital program source is not connected as you set with the INPUT in Step 4 on page 9.

To continue, connect the program source properly.

•The program source is not on. Turn on the program source.

Depending on the menu settings and source being recorded, track numbers are marked in following ways:

•When recording from a CD or MD with the INPUT set at COAX, OPT1 or OPT2 and the source connected through the respective digital connector: The deck automatically marks track numbers in the same sequence as the original. If, however, a track is repeated two or more times (e.g. by single-track repeat play) or two or more tracks with the same track number (e.g. from different MDs or CDs) are played, the track or tracks are recorded as part of a single, continuous track with a single track number. If the source is a CD, track numbers may not be marked for tracks of less than 4 seconds.

•When recording from some CD players and multi disc players connected through one of the digital input connectors with the INPUT set at the respective digital position:

The deck may not automatically mark track numbers. In these cases, mark the track numbers after recording, using the deck’s Divide Function (see “Dividing Recorded Tracks” on page 44).

•When recording from a source connected through the LINE(ANALOG) IN jacks with the INPUT set at ANALOG or when recording from a DAT or satellite broadcast connected through one of the digital input connectors with the INPUT set at the respective digital position and “T.Mark Off” selected in Setup Menu 02:

The source will be recorded as a single track.

•Even while recording an analog source or a DAT or satellite broadcast, you can mark track numbers if “T.Mark LSyn” is selected in Setup Menu 02 (see “Marking Track Numbers While Recording” on page 17).

•When recording from DAT or satellite broadcasts with the INPUT set at the respective digital position, the deck automatically marks a track number whenever the sampling frequency of the input signal changes regardless of the Setup Menu 02 setting.

zYou can mark track numbers during or after recording

For details, see “Marking Track Numbers While Recording” (page 17) and “Dividing Recorded Tracks” (page 44).

When “TOC Writing” flashes in the display

The deck is currently updating the Table Of Contents (TOC). Do not move the deck or pull out the AC power cord. Changes to an MD made through recording are saved only when you update the TOC by ejecting the MD or changing the deck to standby by pressingthe1 /u switch.

The MD deck uses the SCMS (Serial Copy Management System on page 55)

MDs recorded through digital input connector cannot be copied onto other MDs or DAT tapes through the digital output connector.

When the deck is recording or in recording pause, digital signals input through one of the digital input connectors are output to the respective digital output connector with the same sampling rate

To change the digital input signal to another sampling rate for output (without recording it to an MD), use Input Monitor Function (see page 14).
