Recording on MDs
When INPUT is set to OPT1, OPT2 or COAX
The digital signal input from the DIGITAL IN
connector is output to the DIGITAL OUT connector
after passing through the sampling rate converter, and
then to the LINE (ANALOG) OUT jacks and PHONES
jack after D/A conversion. “- DA” appears in the
display during this time.
Erasing blank portions automatically
(Smart Space/Auto Cut)
The deck can be set to automatically erase any blanks that
are produced when the signal is interrupted during
recording. The function which activates (Smart Space or
Auto Cut) depends on the length of the interruption, as
described below.
Smart Space
If the signal is interrupted for less than 30 seconds, Smart
Space replaces the blank portion with a blank space of
about three seconds, then continues the recording. “Smart
Space” appears in the display during this time.
Auto Cut
If the signal is interrupted for about 30 seconds , Auto Cut
replaces the blank portion with a blank space of about
three seconds, then pauses the recording. “Auto Cut”
appears in the display during this time.

Cut on or off.

Notes
• If you start recording with no signal input, Smart Space and
Auto Cut will not operate regardless of the setting.
• Smart Space does not affect the order of the track numbers
being recorded, even if the blank space occurs in the middle of
a track.
• Auto Cut is automatically turned on or off in tandem with
Smart Space.
• If you turn off the deck or disconnect the mains lead, the deck
will store the last setting (“S.Space On” or “S.Space Off”) and
recall it the next time you turn on the deck.
• If the deck continues recording pause for about ten minutes
after the Auto Cut activated, recording stops automatically.
