Notes on Recording
If Protected appears in the display
The MD is record-protected. Close the slot to record on the
disc (see To protect an MD against accidental erasure on
page 7).
If Din Unlock flashes in the display
The digital program source is not connected as you set
with INPUT in Step 4 on page 6.
To continue, connect the program source properly.
The program source is not on.
Turn on the program source.
Depending on source being recorded, track numbers are
marked in following ways:
When recording from a CD or MD with INPUT at
DIGITAL OPT1/OPT2 and the source connected through
DIGITAL (OPTICAL) IN1/IN2:
The deck automatically marks track numbers in the same
sequence as the original. If, however, a track is repeated
two or more times (e.g. by single-track repeat play) or two
or more tracks with the same track number (e.g. from
different MDs or CDs) are played, the track or tracks are
recorded as part of a single, continuous track with a single
track number.
If the source is an MD, track numbers may not be marked
for tracks of less than 4 seconds.
When recording from source connected through LINE
(ANALOG) IN with INPUT at ANALOG, and LEVEL-
SYNC does not light up (see Marking Track Numbers
while Recording on page 12) or when recording from
DAT or satellite broadcasts connected through DIGITAL
(OPTICAL) IN1/IN2 with INPUT at DIGITAL OPT1/
OPT2:
The source will be recorded as a single track. You can
divide the track afterwards using the Divide Function (see
Dividing Recorded Tracks on page 26) or mark track
numbers during recording by using the Track Marking
Function on page 12.
If LEVEL-SYNC appears in the display, the deck
automatically marks track numbers when recording
analog source or digital recording of DAT or satellite
broadcasts (see Marking track numbers automatically
on page 12).
When recording from DAT or satellite broadcasts with
INPUT at DIGITAL OPT1/OPT2, the deck automatically
marks a track number whenever the sampling frequency
of the input signal changes.
When TOC flashes in the display
The deck is currently updating the Table Of Contents (TOC).
Do not move the deck or pull out the AC power cord.
Changes to an MD made through recording are saved only
when you update the TOC by ejecting the MD or changing
the deck to standby by pressing POWER.
The MD deck uses the SCMS (Serial Copy Management
System on page 35)
MDs recorded through digital input connector cannot be
copied onto other MDs or DAT tapes through the digital
output connector.
When recording digital signals that have been emphasized
(in the higher frequencies)
The signal is automatically de-emphasized (with attenuation
proportional to the degree of emphasis) and the level of the
de-emphasized signal is indicated on the peak level meters.
When the deck is recording or in recording pause, digital
signals input through DIGITAL (OPTICAL) IN1/IN2 are
output to DIGITAL (OPTICAL) OUT with the same
sampling rate.
To change the digital input signal to another sampling rate
for output (without recording it to an MD), use Input
Monitor Function (see page 10).
Useful Tips for Recording
Checking the remaining recordable time on
the MD
When you press DISPLAY/CHAR while recording,
the remaining recordable time on the MD appears.
When you press DISPLAY/CHAR repeatedly while
the deck is stopped, the display changes as follows:
total recorded time, remaining recordable time on
the MD, disc name (see page 17).
