Recording an MD right away! (Synchro- recording)

See the illustrations in English text (pages 16 and 17).

This section explains the basic procedure for making digital recordings using an optical cable connected to a CD player, BS tuner or other digital equipment. The recorder starts and stops recording in sync with the source sound. Track marks are added whenever they appear in the sound source. It is recommended to use the AC power adaptor when recording.

Note

If you record on a previously recorded disc, the recorder is factory set to overwrite the entire contents of the disc. If you want the recording to start after the existing contents, do the procedure “Recording without overwriting existing material” (page 10) before step 3, “Record an MD.” (this page).
