The name assigned to the current disc appears on the display.

2 Press either side of (DISC/PRST) repeatedly until you find the desired disc.

3 Press (ENTER) to play the disc.

•The track names are not displayed during MD or CD TEXT disc playback.

•If there are no discs on the CD/MD unit, “NO Disc” appears on the display.

•If a disc has not been assigned a custom name, “********” appears on the display.

•If you use personalized labels, they will always take priority over the original CD TEXT information when such information is displayed.

•Some letters cannot be displayed during MD or CD TEXT disc playback.

•If the disc information has not been read yet by the unit, “?” is displayed.

•If an optional TV system is connected, the disc name appears on the display of the TV system but not on the unit’s display.

Recording on an MD

You can record individual tracks/discs or programed tracks played on a connected CD/ MD unit onto the MD on this unit. You can also record a radio program with the “Time Machine recording” feature.

Notes on recording

•When the whole playback time of the CD/MD is longer than the remaining recordable time of the MD, recording will stop when the recordable MD becomes full.

•A recording may fail if there is too much difference in temperature between the unit and the MD.

•Recorded sound may drop out if you perform recording while the unit is subject to excessive vibration (such as when driving on a rough road, etc.).

•Once you finish recording on or editing the MD, be sure to eject the MD before you turn off the ignition or disconnect the power-supply leads of the unit.

Recording is completed when the unit updates the TOC (Table of Contents) information and then the MD is ejected. The lamp located at the bottom of the MD slot flashes during updating of the TOC information.

•You cannot perform the following operations during recording or recording stand-by:

—selecting another track*

—selecting another radio program*

—ejecting an MD

—labeling an MD

—selecting Menu mode.

*Unselectable only during recording

•“Protected” appears when the tab for record- protection is open.

•Repeat play, shuffle play, and program play will be canceled when (MD REC) is pressed.

Tip

The unit automatically locates the end of the MD’s recorded section and starts to record from that point.
