When the recorder is connected to a Sony CD player or Hi- Fi component system, you can easily copy the contents of CDs to the MD using the recorder’s remote. As the same remote operates both the MD recorder and the CD player or CD player section of the component system, make sure to place the MD recorder and the CD player as close together as possible.

To operate the recorder and CD player, unplug from the jacks of the recorder and remote and use the remote as the wireless remote (page 15).
