MDs (Mini Disc) let you digitally record and
play music with high quality sound
comparable with the sound of CDs. 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 varies.
Also, the way the track numbers are recorded
differs depending on the source.
When the source you record from is:
• This system’s CD player
– The digital signal from the CD is recorded
as it is (digital recording).*
– Track numbers are automatically marked
as on the original CD.
• This system’s tuner and other analog
components
– The analog signal is converted to a digital
signal and recorded (analog recording).**
–A track number is marked at the beginning
of a recording, but when you turn on the
Level Sync function (see page 35), track
numbers are automatically marked in sync
with the level of the input signal.
* For details on the limitations for digital
recording, see page 54.
** This signal is converted because these systems do
not use digital signals.
Note on MD track numbers
On an MD, the track number (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.
