Recording on MDs

When “LEVEL-SYNC” is displayed during analog recording

The track number is written in sync with the level of the input signal from the sound source. In other words, if the input signal from the sound source is continuously at or below a certain fixed level for several seconds, a track number is written the next time the input signal exceeds that level (see “Marking track numbers automatically” on page 28).

Note

When you select MIC with REC SOURCE SELECTOR, the track number is not written automatically even if “LEVEL- SYNC”appears in the display.

Other cases

Only one track number is written at the start of a recording. The entire recording is counted as one track. You can mark track numbers during recording, either manually or automatically (see “Marking track numbers manually” on page 28).

When “TOC” flashes in the display

Do not move the unit or pull out the AC power cord. If you do, the recorded material may not be saved normally because the MD deck section is updating the Table Of Contents (TOC).

Do not disconnect the AC power cord immediately after recording

If you do, the recorded material may not be saved to the MD.

To protect an MD against accidental erasure

To make it impossible to record on an MD, slide the tab in the direction by the arrow, opening the slot. “Protected” appears in the display if you attempt to record on the MD. To allow recording, close the slot.
