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 9).

If “Din Unlock” flashes in the display

•The digital program source is not connected as you set with the INPUT switch in Step 4 on page 8.

To continue, connect the program source properly.

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

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

•When recording from a CD or MD with the INPUT switch set at COAX, OPT1, or OPT2 and the source connected through the respective DIGITAL IN connector:

The deck 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 part of 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 a source connected through the LINE(ANALOG) IN connectors with the INPUT switch set at ANALOG or when recording from a DAT or satellite broadcast connected through one of the DIGITAL IN connectors with the INPUT switch set at the respective digital position and “T.Mark Off” selected in the S02 menu:

The source will be recorded as a single track.

•Even while recording an analog source or a DAT or satellite broadcast, you can mark track numbers if a setting other than “T.Mark Off” is selected in the S02 menu (see “Marking Track Numbers While Recording” on page 14).

•When recording from DAT or satellite broadcasts with the INPUT switch set at the respective digital position, the deck automatically marks a track number whenever the sampling frequency of the input signal changes regardless of the S02 menu setting.

zYou can mark track numbers during or after recording

For details, see “Marking Track Numbers While Recording” (page 14) and “Dividing Recorded Tracks” (page 31).

zYou can mark track numbers at 1- or 5-minute intervals

For details, see “Marking track numbers automatically at regular intervals” (page 15).

When “TOC Writing” flashes in the display

The deck is currently updating the Table Of Contents (TOC). Do not move the deck or pull out the AC power cord. Changes to an MD made through recording are saved only when you update the TOC by ejecting the MD or changing the deck to standby by pressing the POWER switch.

The MD deck uses the SCMS (Serial Copy Management System on page 40)

MDs recorded through digital input connector cannot be copied onto other MDs or DAT tapes through the digital output connector.

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 deck is recording or in recording pause, digital signals input through one of the DIGITAL IN connectors are output to the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL connector 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 11).
