Track numbers cannot be marked
When “L-SYNC” (page 44) lights in the display
window during analog recording, the track numbers
may not be marked at the beginning of the track:
• If the input signal is below a certain fixed level for
less than 2 seconds* between tracks.
• If the input signal is below a certain fixed level for
more than 2 seconds* in the middle of the track.
* During stereo recording:
In MONO or LP2 mode: about 4 seconds
In LP4 mode: about 8 seconds
Guide to the Serial Copy
Management System
Digital audio components, such as CDs, MDs, and
DATs let you copy music easily with high quality by
processing music as a digital signal.
To protect the copyrighted music programs, this
system uses the Serial Copy Management System that
allows you to make only a single copy of a digitally
recorded source through digital-to-digital
connections.
You can make only a first generation
copy* through a digital-to-digital
connection.
For example:
1 You can make a copy of a commercially available
digital sound program (for example, a CD or MD),
but you cannot make a second copy from the first-
generation copy.
2 You can make a copy of a digital signal from a
digitally recorded analog sound program (for
example, an analog record or a music cassette tape)
or from a digital satellite broadcast program, but
you cannot make a second copy.
* A first-generation copy means a digital recording
of a digital signal made on digital audio
equipment. For example, if you record from this
system’s CD player to the MD deck, you make a
first-generation copy.
Note
This copy management system doesn’t apply when
you make a recording through analog-to-analog
connections.
System limitations of
MDs
The recording system in your MD deck has the
limitations described below. Note, however, that
these limitations are due to the inherent nature of
the MD recording system itself, not to mechanical
causes.
“Disc Full!” lights up before the MD
has reached the maximum recording
time
When 255 tracks have been recorded on the MD,
“Disc Full!” lights up regardless of the total recorded
time. More than 255 tracks cannot be recorded on the
MD. To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks
or use another recordable MD.
“Disc Full!” lights up before the
maximum number of tracks (255) is
reached
Fluctuations in emphasis within tracks are sometimes
interpreted as track intervals, increasing the track
count and causing “Disc Full!” to light up.
The remaining recording time does
not increase even after erasing
numerous short tracks
Tracks shorter than 12 seconds are not counted, so
erasing them may not increase the recording time.
Some tracks may not be combined
with others
Tracks that are edited too many times may not be
combined.
The total recorded time and the
remaining time on the MD do not add
up to the maximum recording time
Recording is done in minimum units of 2 seconds*
each, no matter how short the material. The recorded
contents may be shorter than the maximum recording
capacity. Disc space may also be reduced by
scratches.
* During stereo recording:
In MONO or LP2 mode: about 4 seconds
In LP4 mode: about 8 seconds
The sound may drop-out while
searching the edited tracks
Tracks created through editing may exhibit sound
dropout during searching because high-speed
playback requires time to search for the position on
the disc when the tracks are not in order.
