MDs on Recording

Synchro-recording With a Sony CD Player

(CD Synchro-recording)

When the deck 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 deck’s remote. As the same remote operates both the MD deck and the CD player or CD player section of the component system, make sure to place the MD deck and the CD player as close together as possible.

Note

On some CD players and Hi-Fi component systems, you may find it impossible to perform CD Synchro-recording using the deck’s remote. In this case, use Music Synchro-recording (page 19) to record from CDs to the MD.
