Sony DHC-MD515 Playing an MD

When recording is finished

Remove the MD. “TOC Write” flashes and the recorded contents are memorized on the MD.

While “TOC Write” is flashing

Do not move the unit or pull out the AC power cord to ensure complete recording. The deck updates the Table of Contents (TOC) while “TOC” is flashing.

If the MD ends while recording

Both the CD player and MD deck stop automatically.

Tips

•The track numbers and disc title of the CD (see page 25) are copied on the MD when using a brand-new recordable MD or an MD whose tracks have been completely erased (see page 48) (Disc Memo Copy function). Note that the CD-TEXT information is not labeled on the MD depending on CDs.

•If you record on an MD with tracks already recorded on it, the recorded CD tracks are renumbered.

Notes

•You can record only on the MD inserted in the MD 1 slot when using this recording method.

•If “MD Protected” appears, the MD is protected

against erasure and cannot be recorded. Press MD 6 to eject the MD, then slide the tab on the side of the MD to close the slot (see page 33).

Playing an MD

You can play all the tracks on an MD in the original order and also play up to three MDs continuously just like CDs. To turn on the system, press POWER.
