Recording on an MD

This chapter explains how to record onto an MD.

Notes on Recording

If “Protected” and “C11” appear in the display

The MD is record-protected. Close the record-protect slot to enable recording (see “To protect an MD against accidental erasure” on page 24).

If “Din Unlock” and “C71” appear in the display

•The digital program source selected with the INPUT switch is not properly connected. Connect the program source correctly.

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

Track numbers are marked differently depending on the menu settings and the type of source being recorded

•When recording from a CD or MD with this unit’s INPUT switch set to “OPT” or “COAX”, track numbers are automatically marked the same as the original program source. However, in the following cases, a section of a recording containing more than one track may be marked with only a single track number:

–If the same track is recorded repeatedly (using the single-track repeat function).

–If two or more tracks with the same track number (from different MDs or CDs) are recorded in sequence.

–When recording tracks less than four seconds long.

•Even though INPUT is set to “OPT” or “COAX”, this unit may not be able to mark track numbers automatically when recording from certain multi-disc (and one-disc) CD players. In such cases, mark the track numbers afterwards using the Divide Function (see “Dividing a Track” on page 28).

•If the “L.Sync” parameter in the Setup Menu is set to “L.Sync Off” when recording with INPUT set to “ANLG”, or recording from a satellite broadcast or DAT with INPUT set to “OPT” or “COAX”, this unit treats the recorded section as a single track and only one track number will be assigned to the recording.

•Set the “L.Sync” parameter in the Setup Menu to “L.Sync On” when recording with INPUT set to “ANLG”, or recording from a satellite broadcast or DAT with INPUT set to “OPT” or “COAX”, to mark track numbers automatically (see “Automatic track marking” on page 24).

•When recording from a satellite broadcast or DAT with INPUT set to “OPT” or “COAX”, this unit automatically marks a new track number whenever the sampling frequency of the input signal changes (regardless of the setting of the “L.Sync” parameter in the Setup Menu).
