AUTO
If a no-sound input has lasted for the time set for the AUTO TIME function during recording, the track number will be incremented automatically by “1”. Usually, use this position for recording. Use this mode when recording all of the tracks in a CD. When recording music containing a continuous section with a very low level, for example when recording classic music, the track number may be incremented by “1” after such a section. In this case, cancel the track number later. It is recommended to use the MANUAL mode when recording such a kind of music. During digital recording of CD, the track number is incremented auto­matically by “1” according to the data contained in the digital informa­tion. The no-sound blank is not detected. When the CD track number is increased during manual search of a CD, the track number recorded on the MD may sometimes fail to be incremented. A no sound track may sometimes created at the moment the played CD stops.
MANUAL
With this setting, the MD track number is not incremented automatically during recording. Track numbers can be marked either during editing (by pressing the EDIT key) or after recording (by executing the TRACK DIVIDE operation PAUSE functions work if the “AUTO CUT” and “REC AUTO PAUSE” settings are turned on. This setting is convenient when recording a CD which has been recorded in live or which contains very low-level sound such as a classical music CD.

DIGITAL recording and SCMS
Note that the digital recording of Mini Discs is not possible in the following cases.
Note on the sampling rate converter
Three types of digital signals are usually used according to the sampling frequencies. The sampling frequencies vary depending on the types of digital equipment as shown below.
48 kHz : Standard mode of DAT, B mode broadcasting of BS tuner, etc.
44.1 kHz : Standard mode of DAT, CD, MD, etc. 32 kHz : Standard and long-hour modes of DAT, A mode broadcasting of BS tuner, etc.
31
In general, high-quality recording based on digital signal transmission is available only when the sampling frequency of the source equipment matches that of the recorder equipment. However, this unit incorporates a sampling rate converter so that it can also record digital signals sampled at 48 kHz and 32 kHz by converting their sampling frequency into the sampling frequency of MD (44.1 kHz). The SCMS may be activated with certain type of satellite broadcasting.
(DAT: Digital Audio Tape deck)
SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)
Designed for copyright protection, the SCMS is a pre­scription that copying of digital signals as they are in the digital form between digital audio equipment is allowable only for one generation.
If the digital source has a copy prohibition code, “SCMS ON” is displayed and the unit enters record-pause mode.

Editing
After recording of a commercially-available recordable Mini Disc, the recording can be edited in various ways. Note that it is impossible to edit a playback-only Mini Disc.

(Editing is not possible while the “PGM” indicator is lit.)
The MD recorder acts based on the data loaded from the disc into the memory. As this data is written in the disc at the moment it is ejected, be sure to eject the disc every time after the title input or editing operation.

Use the following procedure to divide a track into two by inserting a track number in its middle. For example, by inserting an additional track number before the passage you are specially fond of, it is easy to skip to there when you play the disc later. Note that the track numbers of the tracks located after the divided track are automatically incremented. The preview function allows to fine-adjust the track division point by playing the divided part repeatedly.

Preparation
Play the MD track to be divided.

Press the EDIT/SPACE key to switch
2

÷The first 3 seconds after the division point is repeated. ÷If preview is started at the end of a track, the preview continues till the
next track (the first track if it is started in the last track), but the part in the next track cannot be divided by TRACK DIVIDE.
÷Fine adjustment is possible while monitoring the sound. ÷The dividing point can be fine-adjusted only in the forward direction
from the point where the EDIT / SPACE key was pressed initially, in 32 steps and for about 60 ms (6/100 sec.) per step. It is recommended to start fine adjustment from slightly before the initial division point.

In case of difficulty
DMF-5020/DMF-3020/MD-203 (En)
What appears to be a malfunction may not always be serious. If your unit should not perform as expected, consult the table below to see if the problem can be corrected before seeking help from your dealer or service representative.
Operation to reset
51
The microprocessor may fall into malfunction (impossibility to operate erroneous display, etc.) when the power cord is unplugged while power is ON or due to an external factor. In this case, execute the following procedure to reset the microprocessor and return it to normal condition.
Symptoms related to MD standard
Symptom
“DISC FULL” is displayed while the disc still has a remaining record­able time.
The recordable time does not increase after a short track has been erased.
Tracks cannot be combined.
With the POWER key left to ON, unplug the power cord from the power outlet then, while holding the eject (0) key depressed, plug the power cord again.
÷Please note that resetting the microprocessor clears the contents
stored in, it returns the microprocessor to the condition when it left the factory.
Cause
÷More than 255 tracks (track No. 256 or more) cannot be recorded. (There
may be also cases in which recording is impossible while the track number is less than 256.) In such a case, the REMAIN time display shows “0:00”.
÷The remaining time display becomes “0:00” when the actual total
remaining time of the Mini Disc is less than 12 seconds. The recordable time display changes when the total time of the erased track exceeds 12 seconds.
÷When a Mini Disc has been subjected to repeated editing, the remaining
time may not increase even after a short track has been erased.
÷A track created as a result of an editing operation may sometimes be
impossible to be combined with another track.
The total of the recorded time and recordable time does not coincide with the total recording time of the MD (60 or 74 min.).
Sound is interrupted when a track created by editing is subjected to fast forward or fast backward operation.
Tracks are not numbered correctly.
The period in which “READING” is displayed is abnormally long.
The total number of characters used in the titles is less than 1792 characters.
÷As recording is performed on a minimum recording basis of 2 seconds,
the displayed time may not coincide with the consumed disc capacity.
÷Sound interruption may occur due to a combination of various factors,
and it is not a malfunction.
÷A short track may be created depending on the contents of the recorded
source (CD, for example).
÷“READING” is displayed for a longer period than usual when a brand-
new recordable Mini Disc (a virgin disc) is loaded.
÷The Mini Disc in use has been processed with repeated editing or
contains a large number of tracks.
÷As the title recording areas are used on a per-7-character basis, the total
number of input characters may be less than 1792.
