Tips

If noise is heard while recording an AM radio program, move the AM loop antenna to reduce the noise or connect a ground wire to the U terminal (see page 71).

You can record the MD in monaural format. For details, see “Monaural recording” on page 42.

To record non-preset stations, press TUNING MODE repeatedly until “AUTO” and “PRESET” disappear from the display in step 3, then press TUNING + or – to tune in the desired station.

Note

If the MD is record protected, “C11” and “Protected” appear alternately and the MD cannot be recorded. Remove the MD, then slide the record protection tab to the closed position (see page 32).

Before pulling out the power cord

MD recording is completed when the MD Table of Contents (TOC) is updated. The TOC is updated when you eject the MD or press ?/1to turn off the system. Do not pull out the power cord before updating the TOC (while “TOC” is lit) or while updating the TOC (while “TOC” or “STANDBY” is flashing) to ensure a complete recording.
