About recording errors

With the following kinds of discs, you may experience a reading failure or noise when recorded on an MD:

Discs with adhesive labels attached to them

Irregularly shaped discs (for example, heart- or star-shaped)

Discs with printed text concentrated on one side only

Scratched discs

Dirty discs

Warped discs

If the following occurs during CD playback or recording, a reading error may occur or noise may be produced in the recorded results:

The system is bumped.

The system is placed on an uneven or soft surface.

The system is located near a speaker, door, or other source of vibration.

If the above reading errors occur, an extra soundless track may be created. You can erase these extra tracks using Erase Function (page 55).

*1 For details on the limitations of digital recording, see “Guide to the Serial Copy Management System” on page 99. If you do not connect the DVD player to MD deck with the supplied digital optical cable, the MD deck only performs analog recording.

*2 You cannot make a digital recording of sound encoded by other than PCM mode. Set optional digital components to PCM output.

*3 Even if you connect a digital component, the MD deck performs analog recording.

After recording

Press Z MD on the MD deck to remove the MD or press ?/1 (power) to turn off the system.

“TOC” starts flashing. The TOC is updated and recording is completed.

Before pulling out the mains lead

MD recording is completed when the MD Table of Contents (TOC) is updated. The TOC is updated when you eject the MD or press ?/1 to turn off the system. Do not pull out the mains lead before updating the TOC or while updating the TOC (while “TOC” lights up or flashes) to ensure a complete recording.
