Notes on recording

About indications that appear during/ after recording

When “Tr” flashes in the display during recording

The MD deck is recording over existing track(s) (see “Recording to an MD” on page 13). The indication stops flashing when the deck reaches the end of the recorded portion.

When “TOC” lights up in the display after recording

Recording has finished but the TOC (Table of Contents) on the MD has not been updated to reflect the recording results. The recording will be lost if you disconnect the AC power cord while the indication is on. The TOC will be updated only when you eject the MD or turn off the MD deck.

When “TOC Writing” flashes in the display after recording

The deck is updating the TOC. Do not disconnect the AC power cord or move the deck while the indication flashes.

Automatic conversion of digital sampling rates during recording

A built-in sampling rate converter automatically converts the sampling frequency of various digital sources to the

44.1kHz sampling rate of the MD deck. This allows you to monitor and record sources such as 32- or 48-kHz DAT tape or satellite broadcasts, as well as the CDs and MDs.

Recording for long times

In addition to normal stereo recording, this deck has two long time recording modes: LP2 and LP4. When recording in LP2 Stereo mode, you can record 2 times the normal recordable time, and in LP4 Stereo mode, you can record 4 times the normal recordable time. In addition, the recordable time for monaural recording is approximately double the stereo recording time.

Note

MDs recorded in MD LP (LP2 or LP4 Stereo) mode cannot be played back on a deck that does not support MD LP mode. In addition, you cannot perform S.F Edit for MDs recorded in MD LP mode.
