Recording on MDs

Notes on Recording

If “Protected” alternates with “C11” 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 “CHECK OPT-IN” alternates with “C71” 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 INPUT at DIGITAL and the source connected through

DIGITAL IN:

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 with INPUT at DIGITAL, the deck may not automatically mark track numbers for some CD players and multi disc players. In these cases, mark the track numbers afterwards using the deck’s Divide Function (see “Dividing Recorded Tracks” on page 30).

•When recording from source connected through LINE (ANALOG) IN with INPUT at ANALOG, and “LEVEL- SYNC” does not light up (see “Marking Track Numbers while Recording” on page 14) or when recording from DAT or satellite broadcasts connected through DIGITAL IN with INPUT at

DIGITAL:

The source will be recorded as a single track. You can divide the track afterwards using the Divide Function on page 30 or mark track numbers during recording by using the Track Marking Function on page 14.

If “LEVEL-SYNC” appears in the display, the deck automatically marks track numbers when recording analog source or digital recording of DAT or satellite broadcasts (see “Marking track numbers automatically” on page 14).

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

When “TOC” 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

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 the deck is recording or in recording pause, digital signals input through one of the digital input connectors are output to the DIGITAL OUT 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 12).
