MDs (MiniDisc) let you digitally record and
play music with high quality sound. Another
feature of MDs is track marking. The track
marking feature lets you quickly locate a
specific point or easily edit the recorded tracks.
However, depending on the source you record,
the recording method and the way the track
numbers are recorded differ.
When the source you record from
is:
• CDs loaded in this system’s CD
player
– The MD deck performs digital recording.
*1
– Track numbers are automatically marked as
on the original CD. However, track numbers
are not marked depending on the track
(page 63).
• Other digital components
connected to the DIGITAL
OPTICAL IN jack
– The MD deck performs digital recording.
*1
– Track numbers are marked differently
depending on the source you record.
• This system’s tuner or other
analog components connected to
the ANALOG IN jacks
– The MD deck performs analog recording.
*2
– A track number is marked at the beginning of
a recording only, but when you turn on the
Level Synchro Recording Function (page 19),
track numbers are automatically marked in
sync with the level of the input signal.
• A personal computer
– Only tracks that have been checked out using
the Net MD function can be recorded from a
personal computer.
When you use a partially
recorded MD
You cannot record while overwriting the
recorded tracks.
Recording starts after the recorded tracks.
If you want to erase the recorded tracks, erase
the tracks using Erase Function (page 29).
Note on MD track numbers
On an MD, the track numbers (track sequence),
track start and end point information, etc., are
recorded in the TOC

area independent of the
sound information. You can edit recorded tracks
quickly by modifying the TOC information.
About recording errors
• With the following kinds of discs, you may
experience a reading failure or noise when
recorded on an MD:
– Discs with adhesive labels attached to them
– Irregularly shaped discs (for example,
heart- or star- shaped)
– Discs with printed text concentrated on one
side only
– Scratched discs
– Dirty discs
– Warped discs
• If the following occurs during CD playback or
recording, a reading error may occur or noise
may be produced in the recorded results:
– The disc tray or other part of the system is
bumped.
– The system is placed on an uneven or soft
surface.
– The system is located near a speaker, door,
or other source of vibration.
• If the above reading errors occur, an extra
soundless track may be created. You can erase
these extra tracks using Erase Function
(page 29).
