Rule 3
A recordable MD with material recorded from analog
sources (analog records or FM programs, etc.) through
the line input terminal can be copied to another record-
able MD through the digital output terminal.
However, you cannot make subsequent copies from
the recordable MD to other recordable MDs through
the digital output terminal. Subsequent copies can be
made only through the analog output terminal.
When MD recorders are connected using analog ter-
minals, the number of dubbings is unlimited.
The MD recording system in the unit is significantly
different from those used in cassette and DAT decks
and is characterized by the limitations described
below. Note, however, that these limitations are due to
the inherent nature of the MD recording system itself
and not to mechanical causes.
•“Disc Full” lights up before the disc has
reached the maximum recording time (60, 74, or
80 minutes).
When 255 tracks have been recorded on the disc,
“Disc Full” lights up regardless of the total recorded
time. You cannot record more than 256 tracks on
the disc. To record new tracks, erase unnecessary
tracks or use another MD.
•“Disc Full” lights up before the maximum num-
ber of tracks is reached.
If you use a disc that contains many edits, the “Disc
Full” indicator may light up regardless of the record-
ing time or the number of tracks.
• The remaining recordable time on the MD does
not increase even after erasing numerous short
tracks.
• Some tracks cannot be combined with others.
Track combination may become impossible when
tracks are edited.
• The remaining recordable time on the MD may
decrease by more than the total recorded time,
depending on the status of the MD or how you
record.
• Tracks created through editing may exhibit
sound dropout during searching operations.
• Track numbers are not recorded correctly.
Incorrect assignment or recording of track numbers
may result (1) when CD tracks are divided into sev-
eral smaller tracks during digital recording, or (2)
when certain CDs are recorded with the Level Sync
On for automatic track marking.
•“MD Reading” appears for a long time.
If an inserted recordable disc is brand new, “MD
Reading” remains on the display longer than if the
disc had been used.
• You can enter up to 1,792 characters on an MD.
However, if you use the Group function, the maxi-
mum number will be lower.
• Group function data is written in the memory
area for names.
If you input an excessive number of characters, the
available data capacity will be reduced, possibly
disabling Group functions. In this case, try to
reduce the number of characters used for names.
