Recording on MDs

Notes on RecordingIf “Protected!! ” and “C11” appear 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 10).

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

•The digital program source is not connected as you selected with the A-INPUT or B-INPUT button 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 SET UP menu settings and source being recorded, track numbers are marked in following ways:

•When recording from a CD or MD connected through the digital input (DIGITAL OPTICAL IN1, IN2 or DIGITAL COAXIAL IN) connector with a digital input (OPT1, OPT2 or COAX) selected by the A-INPUT or B-INPUT button, or when making a digital recording between deck A and deck B with A-MD or B-MD selected by the B-INPUT or A-INPUT button:

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 some CD players and multi disc players connected through one of the digital input connectors with a digital input selected by the A-INPUT or B-INPUT button:

The deck may not automatically mark track numbers. In these cases, mark the track numbers after recording, using the deck’s Divide Function (see “Dividing Recorded Tracks” on page 34).

•When recording from a source connected through the LINE (ANALOG) IN jacks with ANLG selected by the A-INPUT or B-INPUT button or when making an analog recording between deck A and deck B with ANLG A-MD or ANLG B-MD selected by the B-INPUT or A-INPUT button, or when recording from a DAT or satellite broadcast connected through one of the digital input connectors with a digital input selected by the A-INPUT or B-INPUT button and “LEVEL SYNC OFF” is selected in SET UP menu “LEVEL SYNC”:

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 “LEVEL SYNC ON” is selected in SET UP menu “LEVEL SYNC” (see “Marking Track Numbers While Recording” on page 17).

•When recording from DAT or satellite broadcasts with a digital input selected by the A-INPUT or B-INPUT button, the deck automatically marks a track number whenever the sampling frequency of the input signal changes regardless of SET UP menu “LEVEL SYNC” setting.

zYou can mark track numbers during or after recording

For details, see “Marking Track Numbers While Recording” (page 17) and “Dividing Recorded Tracks” (page 34).

When “TOC Writing” appears 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 1/uswitch.

The MD deck uses the SCMS (Serial Copy Management System on page 47)

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 OPTICAL 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 15).
