Recording on MDs

Notes on Recording

About indications which

appear while recording

When “Protected” and “C11” alternate in the display

The record-protect slot is open and the MD is record-protected. To record on the MD, slide the tab to close the slot. For details, see “ To prevent accidental erasure of the recorded material” on page 13.

When “Din Unlock” and “C71” alternate in the display

•The digital component selected with INPUT is not connected correctly. Check the connection.

•The selected digital component is not turned on. Turn on the component.

When “Cannot Copy” and “C41” alternate in the display

The MD deck uses the Serial Copy Management System. MDs recorded through the digital input connector can’t be copied to other MDs or DAT tapes through the digital output connector. For details, see “ Guide to the Serial Copy Management System” on page 11.

When “Tr” flashes in the display

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

About indications which

appear after recording

When “TOC” lights up in the display

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 adaptor 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

The deck is updating the TOC. Do not disconnect the AC power adaptor 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 44.1 kHz sampling rate of the MD deck. This allows you to monitor and record sources such as 32- or 48-kHz DAT tapes or satellite broadcasts, as well as the CDs and MDs.

Please note that 22.05- or 96-kHz digital sources can’t be recorded on this deck.

Guide to the Serial Copy

Management System

Digital audio components, such as CDs, MDs, and DATs make it easy to produce high-quality copies of music by processing music as a digital signal.

To protect copyrighted music sources, this deck uses the Serial Copy Management System which allows you to make only a single copy of a digitally recorded source through digital-to-digital connections.
