1 Select the proper input mode by pressing INPUT MODE.

When recording a CD source or the source connected to the DIGITAL IN terminal on the rear of the main unit.

Select the Digital Mono mode so that “DIGITAL MONO” (7) lights up on the display.

When recording other sources

Track-marking

The MD recorder provides both automatic and manual methods for the track number-marking.

●Automatic (default setting)

When making a recording, the track-marking is made automatically.

●Manual

To make the track-marking manually, press M-MARKon the remote control repeatedly until “MANUAL” (8) is illuminated.

When recording analog signals (from tapes, radio programs, etc.)

Automatic:

Track numbers are written in synchronization with the input level of the signal being recorded. During recording, if no sound is detected for more than 1.5 seconds, the recorder interprets this to be a gap between two tracks. When the source signal is detected again, a track number is automatically written.

Manual:

One track number is written automatically when you start recording, but none are written during recording. To mark a track number, press M-MARKat the desired position while recording.

Note

When using the manual method, the marks must be set at least 4 seconds apart.

When recording digital signals (from CDs, etc.)

Track numbers are written in the same positions as the original source (CDs, etc.) with either automatic or manual track-marking method.

To add additional track numbers, select the manual track-marking method and press M-MARKat the desired position while recording.

Notes about TOC

TOC (Table of Contents) is the non-audio data contained on all minidiscs (track numbers, play time, title data, etc.) When you make recording onto an MD, the TOC data is automatically renewed.

When the message “TOC Reading” or “TOC Writing”, etc. is shown on the display, it means that the MD recorder is reading the TOC data on an MD, or recording TOC data onto an MD. During this period, do not make an operation on the MD recorder, do not disconnect the power cord of this system, or do not shake this system to prevent a misoperation of the MD recorder.
