MDs
This chapter explains the various
ways to record to an MD, as well as
how to mark track numbers and
perform synchro-recording with other
components.
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 15.
When “Din Unlock” and “C71” alternate in the
display
• The digital component selected with the INPUT switch
is not connected correctly. Check the connection.
• The selected digital component is not turned on. Turn
on the component.
When “Cannot Copy” appears 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 14.
When “TRACK” flashes in the display
The MD deck is recording over existing track(s)
(“Recording on an MD” on page 14). 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 cord 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 cord or move the deck while the indication flashes.
