MDs (Mini Disc) 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 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
1)
).
– Track numbers are automatically marked
as on the original CD.
• Other digital components
(for example, a DAT deck)
– The digital signal is converted to an analog
signal, then re-converted to a digital signal
and recorded
2)
(analog recording).
– A track number is marked at the beginning
of a recording, but when you turn on the
Level Synchro function (see page 43), track
numbers are automatically marked in sync
with the level of the input signal.
• This system’s tuner or other analog
components
(for example, a tape deck)
– 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 Synchro function (see page 43), track
numbers are automatically marked in sync
with the level of the input signal.

For details on the limitations for digital recording,
see page 64.
2)
This signal is converted because this system does
not have a digital input.
