1 Load the sound source into the source component.

•If necessary, program, or select the track you want to start recording from before proceeding to the next step. (Refer to the operation manual supplied with the source component for instructions regarding its use.)

2 Press INPUT repeatedly to select the input connected to the sound source you want to record.

3 Press SYNC to set this unit to record pause mode.

•The REC *indicators light up.

“Synchro REC” and the amount of time available for recording flash alternately in the display. During synchronized recording, analog input sources are recorded at the current ANALOG REC LEVEL setting, digital sources are recorded at the 0 dB level.

The MD starts recording automatically when a sound signal is input. When the sound signal stops, the unit switches back to record pause mode and “Synchro REC” blinks in the display. The next time a sound signal is detected, recording starts again. In this manner, the presence of a sound signal automatically switches the unit between record and record pause modes.

4 Start playing the sound source.

To cancel the synchronized recording mode

Note

•When the signals at the beginning of a track are lower than the level required to start synchronized recording, they are not recorded. Should this occur, perform manual recording.

Press REC MODE repeatedly until the indicator for the desired recording mode lights up.

Example: When using an 80 minute MDMONO (monaural)This mode provides 160 minutes monaural recording.LP2This mode provides 160 minutes stereo recording.LP4This mode provides 320 minutes stereo recording.

When all of the above indicators are turned off, this unit enters normal stereo recording mode.

Notes

•MDLPs (= discs recorded in LP mode) cannot be played back nor edited on non MDLP players. If you play MDLPs (=discs recorded in LP mode) on a non-MDLP player, “LP:” will appear at the top of the title and no sound will be reproduced.

•Normal stereo recording provides the best sound quality.•The recording mode cannot be changed during recording.
