Recording a CD

You can easily make digital recordings from CD on an MD (CD synchro recording), marking track numbers in the same sequence as the original CD. When you use a blank MD*, the CD name which you have stored using the “disc memo” function is also record on the MD automatically.

When recording additional tracks on a recordable MD, the MD deck will automatically start recording from the end of the existing sound.

*A brand-new MD, or an MD which has been erased using the “erase function”.
