Recording onto an MD

English

Things to Know Before You Start Recording

• It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright owner.

• When you record onto partially recorded MD, its contents are not erased or overwritten. The recording starts from the point following the last recorded track of the MD. If you want to record on such an MD from the beginning, you have to erase its contents first (see “ALL ERASE Function” on page 33).

• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME control. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.

• While recording, you can hear sound modes and/or the active bass extension effect through the speakers or headphones. However, the sound is recorded without these effects (see page 12).

About the track marks

When playing an MD, you can move among the tracks using MULTI JOG or 4 / ¢ of the MD control, or even select directly a track using the remote control. You can do this because there is a mark recorded at the front of each track enabling you to locate the track. This mark is called a “track mark” and the portion between two adjacent track marks is called a “track.”

• When recording from a digital source such as the CD player, a track mark is recorded automatically at the beginning of each track.

• When recording from an analog source such as FM/AM broadcasts, no track mark is recorded on the MD. This means that, when playing this MD, the MD recorder will regard the entire recording as one track (track 1). You will not be able to select directly a song or navigate through songs.

However, if there is a blank of 3 seconds or more, the MD recorder will consider it as a blank separating 2 tracks and consequently put a track mark.

To put a track mark manually while recording an analog source, press SET at the place you want to put a

track mark.

To avoid erasing important recordings

Recordable MDs have an erasure prevention tab so that important recordings are not accidentally erased. When you finish recording or editing, slide open the erasure prevention tab on the cartridge side surface. New recording or editing is now no longer possible. To do re-recording or editing, return the tab to the closed position.

Erasure prevention tab

Recording/Editing possible

Disc protected: Recording/Editing not possible

To add a track mark after recording is over, you can use the DIVIDE function (see page 29).

Maintenance

English

To get the best performance of the unit, keep your discs and mechanism clean.

General Notes

In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your CDs, MDs and the mechanism clean.

• Store CDs and MDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on shelves.

• Keep the CD disc compartment, and the MD loading slot cover closed when not in use.

Handling CDs

• Remove the CD from its case by holding it at the edge while pressing the center hole lightly.

• Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the CD.

• Put the CD back in its case after use to prevent warping.

• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the CD when placing it back in its case.

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes, and moisture.

Handling MDs

• Do not open the shutter.

- The shutter is locked so that it will not open. Trying to force it open will break the MD. If the shutter opens accidentally, c lose it again quickly without touching the MD inside.

• Do not place MDs in the following places:

- High temperature areas such as

in direct sunlight or inside a car.

- High humidity areas, e.g. in a

bathroom.

- On a beach or sandy area.

• Clean MDs regularly.

- If dust or dirt gets on cartridge, wipe it off with a soft dry cloth.

To clean the CD

Wipe the CD with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.

DO NOT use any solvent — such as conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner, or benzine — to clean the CD.

Additional Information

MD Disc Types

There are two types of MDs: Premastered (prerecorded) and Recordable (blank).

Premastered MDs

Premastered MDs, which have been recorded at music studio, can be played back like regular CDs. On an MD of this type, data is recorded as the presence or absence of tiny pits. A laser beam focuses on the pits on the surface of the MD and reflects the detection back to the lens in the MD recorder. The MD recorder then decodes the signals and plays them back as music. This type of MD is called an “optical disc.”

Recordable MDs

Recordable MDs, which use magneto-optical technology, can be recorded and played back repeatedly. The laser inside the MD recorder applies heat to the MD, demagnetizing the magnetic layer of the MD for recording and playback. This type of MD is called an “magnetic-optical disc.”

ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding)

The MD provides 74 minutes recording and playback time, the same as an audio CD, but in a diameter of only 64 mm. This ability to store such a large amount of data is the result of ATRAC, an audio compression technique developed for MD. This technology cuts out faint sounds that would not be heard by the human beings. This technology, based on human sensitivity to sounds, reduces recorded data volume up to about one-fifth of that of the original data.

English

UTOC (User Table Of Contents)

Found only on recordable MDs, this area contains sub-data (track number, recording data, etc.) which can be rewritten by the user. UTOC enables us to search tracks quickly and edit tracks on the MD.

SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)

The MD recorder integrated to this unit uses the Serial Copy Management System which allows only first-generation digital copies to be made of premastered software (like CDs or prerecorded MDs).

Sound Skip Guard Memory

The biggest weakness of discs is their susceptibility to vibration. The “Sound Skip Guard Memory” has been developed to cope with this weakness. With this function, a few seconds of signals read by the optical read head from the disc are first stored in memory before being reproduced as audio signals. Thus, even when vibration or shock interrupts signals being read, these stored signals can continue to reproduce sounds for the few seconds. Thus, the user will enjoy uninterrupted music.

MD limitations

The MD records data in an original format that differs from that of conventional cassette tapes or DATs. Since there are some limitations with this recording format, the following types of symptoms may occur. These symptoms are not malfunctions.

When “vibrated”....

Symptoms

“DISC FULL” appears, even though there is still enough remaining time on an MD.

“DISC FULL” appears even though the number of tracks and recording time do not reach the limit.

The JOIN function sometimes does not work.

The remaining time on the MD does not increase even when tracks are erased.

The sound drops out during fast forward or fast rewind.

The amount of recorded time on the MD added to the amount of remaining time is shorter than the MD’s total possible recording time.

Cause

There is a maximum number of tracks which can be recorded, regardless of recording time. More than 254 tracks cannot be recorded on an MD.

• Repeating erasure and recording on the same MD creates many blank portions sparsely on the MD. When recording on such an MD, a track is recorded on these blank portions sparsely. If a track is divided and recorded into so many portions, “DISC FULL” appears.

• If a divided portion of less than 8 seconds is made while a track is recorded on the MD, that track cannot be joined to another track using the JOIN function. Furthermore, if that track is erased, the remaining time of the MD may not increase exactly by the erased amount.

• If a track has been divided into many portions while being recorded on the MD, sounds will drop out while fast forwarding or reversing such an MD.

You cannot record on a blank portion of less than 2 seconds in the MD. For this reason, the actual recording time of discs may become shorter.
