z

•When recording from digital media, track marks in the original are copied automatically to the MD.

•Synchro-recording is useful for making digital recordings. During synchro-recording, the starting and stopping of recording is done automatically and in sync with the source material.

Notes

•You can make a digital recording with an optical cable only from an optical type output.

•Note the following when recording from a portable CD player.

—Some portable CD players may not be capable of digital out when the AC power adaptor is disconnected. If this is the case, connect the AC power adaptor to the portable CD player and use it on AC power as the power source.

—Digital output may be disabled on some portable CD players when the AC power adaptor is not connected to the player.

—Turn off the anti-skip function (e.g., ESP* or G-PROTECTION).

•A track mark is added at the point where you press the X • PAUSE button again to resume recording while pausing recording; thus the remainder of the track will be counted as a new track.
