Before You Start Recording
It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs
without the consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast or cable
programme and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic embodied therein.
The sampling frequency rate converter built in the MD recorder allows you to record a digital source if its sampling
frequency is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz. If no source equipment is connected to the AUX terminal or if the
sampling frequency of the connected equipment is not 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz, “AUX DIGITAL UNLOCK”
appears in the main display (no recording is possible).
You cannot record the entire Dolby Digital, DTS Digital Surround, or MPEG Multichannel signals through the
AUX terminal.
When you record onto partially recorded MD, its contents are not erased or overwritten. The recording starts from
the point following the last recorded track of the MD.
If you want to record on such an MD from the beginning, you have to erase its contents first (see “ALL ERASE
Function” on page 43).
The recording level is automatically set correctly (except when recording from the equipment connected to the
TAPE jacks), so it is not affected by the VOLUME control. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are
actually listening to without affecting the recording level.
While recording, you can hear sound mode effect and/or the active bass extension effect through the speakers or
headphones. However, the sound is recorded without these effects (see pages 15 and 16).

About the track marks
When playing an MD, you can move among the tracks.
You can do this because there is a mark recorded at the
beginning of each track enabling you to locate the track.
This mark is called a “track mark” and the portion
between two adjacent track marks is called a “track.”
When recording from an analog source such as
FM/AM broadcasts, no track mark is recorded on
the MD. This means that, when playing this MD, the
MD recorder will regard the entire recording as one
track (track 1). You will not be able to select directly
a song or navigate through songs.
However, if there is a blank of 3 seconds or more, the
MD recorder will consider it as a blank separating 2
tracks and consequently put a track mark.
To put a track mark manually while recording an
analog source, press SET at the place you want to put a
track mark.
To add a track mark after recording is over, you can
use the DIVIDE function (see page 40).
To avoid erasing important recordings
The recordable MD has an erasure prevention tab so that
important recordings are not accidentally erased. When you
finish recording or editing, slide to open the erasure
prevention tab on the cartridge side surface. New recording
or editing is now no longer possible. (If you try to do,
“DISC PROTECTED” appears in the main display.)
To do re-recording or editing, return the tab to the closed
position.
If “PLAYBACK DISC” appears in the main display
when you try to record on an MD
The MD is only for playback use, not for recording.
