Recording on an MD
Recording on an MD
Before you start
recording
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 unit’s tuner and other analog
components
– The analog signal is converted to a digital
signal and recorded (analog recording)**.
– Select SURROUND OFF during recording.
– A track number is marked at the beginning of a
recording, but when you turn on the Level Sync
function (see page 44), track numbers are
automatically marked in sync with the level of
the input signal.
• (For North American model only)
Other component connected by
optical cable
– The digital signal from the CD is recorded as it
is (digital recording)*.
– The track marking is different depending on the
source.
* For details on the limitations for digital recording,
see page 90.
**This signal is converted because these systems do
not use digital signals.
Notes 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.
* TOC: Table Of Contents.
•
When recording from this system’s CD player, or CD
player or MD deck connected through the OPTICAL IN
jack, this system’s MD deck automatically marks track
numbers in the same sequence as the original. However,
track numbers may not be marked under the following
circumstances:
– When recording a track from the same disc
repeatedly (e.g. by using “Repeat 1” function).
– When recording tracks with the same track
number from different discs.
– When recording a track of less than 4 seconds
(when the recording mode is “STEREO”,
“MONO”, or “LP2”).
– When recording a track of less than 8 seconds
(when the recording mode is “LP4”).
After recording
, Press A to remove the MD or press
?/1 to turn off the system power.
“TOC” starts lighting or flashing. The MD
recording is complete only after the
recording information is entered to MD.
Note
The MD recording is complete only after all the recording
information is entered to TOC at which point TOC stops
flashing and goes out. Be careful not to disconnect the
power cord or move the deck before this point. Before
disconnecting the power cord, do the following:
– Remove the MD.
– Press ?/1 to turn off the system.
Protecting a recorded MD
• To protect a recorded MD, slide the tab on the side
of the MD to open the slot.

• If the MD is record protected, “C11” and
