Notes on Recording
About indications which
appear while recording
When “Protected” and “C11”
alternate in the display
The record-protect slot is open and the MD is
record-protected. To record on the MD, slide the
tab to close the slot. For details, see “To prevent
accidental erasure of the recorded material” on
page 13.
When “Din Unlock” and “C71”
alternate in the display
The digital component selected with INPUT is
not connected correctly. Check the connection.
The selected digital component is not turned on.
Turn on the component.
When “Cannot Copy” and “C41”
alternate in the display
The MD deck uses the Serial Copy Management
System. MDs recorded through the digital input
connector can’t be copied to other MDs or DAT
tapes through the digital output connector. For
details, see “Guide to the Serial Copy
Management System” on page 11.
When “Tr” flashes in the display
The MD deck is recording over existing track(s)
(“Recording on an MD” on page 13). The
indication stops flashing when the deck reaches
the end of the recorded portion.
About indications which
appear after recording
When “TOC” lights up in the
display
Recording has finished but the TOC (Table of
Contents) on the MD has not been updated to
reflect the recording results. The recording will be
lost if you disconnect the AC power adaptor while
the indication is on. The TOC will be updated
only when you eject the MD or turn off the MD
deck.
When “TOC Writing” flashes in
the display
The deck is updating the TOC. Do not disconnect
the AC power adaptor or move the deck while the
indication flashes.
Automatic conversion of
digital sampling rates during
recording
A built-in sampling rate converter automatically
converts the sampling frequency of various digital
sources to the 44.1 kHz sampling rate of the MD
deck. This allows you to monitor and record
sources such as 32- or 48-kHz DAT tapes or
satellite broadcasts, as well as the CDs and MDs.
Please note that 22.05- or 96-kHz digital sources
can’t be recorded on this deck.
Guide to the Serial Copy
Management System
Digital audio components, such as CDs, MDs, and
DATs make it easy to produce high-quality copies
of music by processing music as a digital signal.
To protect copyrighted music sources, this deck
uses the Serial Copy Management System which
allows you to make only a single copy of a
digitally recorded source through digital-to-digital
connections.
