Recording on MDs

Notes on Recording

If “Protected” appears in the display

The MD is record-protected. Close the slot to record on the disc (see “To protect an MD against accidental erasure” on page 7).

If “Din Unlock” flashes in the display

•The digital program source which you set with INPUT in Step 4 on page 6, is not connected.

To continue, connect the program source properly.

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

Depending on the source being recorded, track numbers are marked in the following ways:

•When recording from a CD or MD with INPUT set to DIGITAL and the source connected through DIGITAL IN: The recorder automatically marks track numbers in the same sequence as the original. If, however, a track is repeated two or more times (e.g. by single-track repeat play) or two or more tracks with the same track number (e.g. from different MDs or CDs) are played, the track or tracks are recorded as a single, continuous track with a single track number.

If the source is an MD, track numbers may not be marked for tracks of less than 4 seconds.

•When recording from DAT or satellite broadcasts with INPUT set to DIGITAL, the recorder automatically marks a track number whenever the sampling frequency of the input signal changes.

When “TOC” indicator flashes in the display

The recorder is currently updating the Table Of Contents (TOC). Do not turn off the power, move the recorder, or pull out the AC power cord. Changes to an MD made through recording are saved when you update the TOC by ejecting the MD.

When the program mode is set to PROGRAM or SHUFFLE (see pages 19 and 20)

It is automatically switched to CONTINUE and the equipment enters the recording standby state.

If “Cannot Copy” appears in the display

The recorder uses the SCMS (Serial Copy Management System).

MDs recorded through digital input connector cannot be copied onto other MDs or DAT tapes through the digital output connector (see page 38).

When recording digital signals that have been emphasized (in the higher frequencies)

The signal is automatically de-emphasized (with attenuation proportional to the degree of emphasis) and the level of the de-emphasized signal is indicated on the peak level meters.

When the recorder is recording or in recording pause, digital signals input through DIGITAL IN are output to DIGITAL OUT with the same sampling rate.

To change the digital input signal to another sampling rate for output (without recording it to an MD), use Input Monitor Function (see page 10).

Useful Tips for Recording Z

Checking the remaining recordable time on the MD

•When you press DISPLAY repeatedly while recording, the display changes as follows: elapsed recording time, remaining recordable time on the MD, track name.

•When you press DISPLAY repeatedly while the recorder is stopped, the display changes as follows: total recorded time, remaining recordable time on the MD, disc name (see page 16).
