The MD Deck — Play/Recording
The MD Deck — Recording
Before you start
recording
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 and
the way the track numbers are recorded differ.
When the source you record from is:
• 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 may
not be marked for some tracks (see page 71).
• This system’s tuner and other
components connected to the
VIDEO IN jacks or TAPE IN jacks
– The MD deck performs analogue recording.*
2
– A track number is marked at the beginning of a
recording, but when you turn on the Level
Synchro Recording function (see page 34),
track numbers are automatically marked in sync
with the level of the input signal.

Even if a digital component is connected to the
VIDEO IN jacks or TAPE IN jacks, the MD deck
performs analogue recording.
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.
