If “Level Over” appears in the level meter

A high-level signal was input during recording in the tape function. When the sound is distorted, reduce the recording level (see page 54), then re-record.

While “TOC” is lit or is flashing

To ensure complete recording, do not move the deck or pull out the mains lead. The deck updates the Table of Contents (TOC) while “TOC” is flashing.

Tip

You can change the recording time and the remaining time in the display while recording by pressing DISPLAY on the remote.

Notes

•The MD recording is complete only after all the recording information is entered to TOC at which point TOC stops flashing and goes out. Be careful not to disconnect the mains lead or move the deck before this point. Before disconnecting the mains lead, do the following:

–Remove the MD.

–Press to turn off the system.

•If you pause recording during CD recording, a track number is recorded at that point. Also, note that the tracks are recorded as the same single track with a single track number when a single track of the same CD is recorded repeatedly.

Starting recording with 6 seconds of prestored audio data

— Time Machine Recording

When recording from an FM or satellite broadcast, the first few seconds of material are often lost due to the time it takes you to ascertain the contents and press the record button. To prevent the loss of this material, the Time Machine Recording feature constantly stores 6 seconds of the most recent audio data in a buffer memory. When you start recording the sound source, the recording actually starts with the 6 seconds of audio data stored in the buffer memory in advance, as shown in the illustration below:
