MD — Play

MD — Recording

Before you start recording

MDs (Mini Disc) let you digitally record and play music with high quality sound. Another feature of MDs is track marking. The track marking feature lets you quickly locate a specific point or easily edit the recorded tracks. However, depending on the source you record, the recording method and the way the track numbers are recorded differ.

When the source you record from is:

• This system’s CD player

– The MD deck performs digital recording.* – Track numbers are automatically marked as

on the original CD.

• Other digital components connected to the DIGITAL OPTICAL IN jack

– The MD deck performs digital recording.* – Track numbers are marked differently

depending on the source you record.

• This system’s tuner and other components connected to the ANALOG IN jack (e.g., a VCR)

– The MD deck performs analog recording.* – A track number is marked at the beginning

of a recording, but when you turn on the Level-Synchro Recording function (see page

21), track numbers are automatically marked in sync with the level of the input signal.

*1For details on the limitations of digital recording,

see page 46.

*2Even if a digital component is connected to the

ANALOG IN jack, the MD deck performs analog recording.

When you use a partially recorded MD

Recording starts after the recorded tracks.

Note on MD track numbers

On an MD, the track numbers (track sequence), track start and end point information, etc., are recorded in the TOC*3 area independent of the sound information. You can edit recorded tracks quickly by modifying the TOC information. *3TOC: Table Of Contents

After recording

Press MD EJECT Z to remove the MD or press ?/1 (power) to turn off the system.

“TOC” or “STANDBY” lights up or starts flashing. The TOC is updated and recording is completed.

Before pulling out the power cord

MD recording is completed when the MD Table of Contents (TOC) is updated. The TOC is updated when you eject the MD or press ?/1 to turn off the system. Do not pull out the power cord before updating the TOC (while “TOC” or “STANDBY” is lit) or while updating the TOC (while “TOC” or “STANDBY” is flashing) to ensure a complete recording.

Protecting a recorded MD

To protect a recorded MD, slide the tab on the side of the MD to open the slot. In this position, the MD cannot be recorded. To record on the MD, slide the tab to close the slot.

Recording a CD on an MD

— CD-MD Synchro Recording

1 Load a recordable MD. 2 Load a CD on the disc tray. 3 Press SYNCHRO REC repeatedly until

“CD-MD SYNC” appears in the display.

4 Press ENTER/START.

“Press START” flashes in the display. The MD deck stands by for recording and

the CD player pauses for play.

5 Verify that “Press START” flashes in

Press CD x or MD x.

Tips

• You can record only your favorite CD tracks with CD Program Play. After step 2, follow the same procedures as from step 1 to 5 in CD Program Play (see page 10). Then go to step 3.

• Depending on the disc, CD TEXT information may also be recorded (except when you record on an MD and a tape at the same time). If “TEXT” flashes during recording, see page 24.

Note

If the MD becomes full during recording, the CD player and the MD deck stop automatically.

Recording a CD on an MD with high speed — CD-MD High-Speed Synchro

Recording

You can make a digital recording of a CD on an MD at twice the speed of normal CD-MD Synchro Recording.

In step 3 of “Recording a CD on an MD”, press SYNCHRO REC repeatedly until “HISPEED SYNC” appears in the display.

In step 4, “×2” appears in the display. During high speed recording, you cannot listen

to the playback sound.

If “Retry” flashes in the display after you press ENTER/START in step 5

A reading failure has occurred, and the MD deck is trying to read the data again.

• If the retry was successful, the MD deck continues with CD-MD High-Speed Synchro Recording.

• If the condition of the loaded CD or the system is poor, and retry fails, CD-MD High-Speed Synchro Recording is disabled. In this case, “×1” flashes in the display and the MD deck automatically starts recording in normal CD-MD Synchro Recording. Note that monitoring of the recorded signal is not possible when this occurs.

Starting recording with 6 seconds of prestored audio data

— Time Machine Recording

When recording from an FM or satellite broadcast, the first few seconds of material are often lost due to the time it takes you to ascertain the contents and press the record button. To prevent the loss of this material, the Time Machine Recording feature constantly stores the most recent audio data in a buffer memory. This lets you record the sound from 6 seconds before starting recording, as shown in the illustration below:

Recording tips

— Recording for long times/Marking

track numbers/Smart space/ Adjusting the recording level

Recording for long times

In addition to normal stereo recording, this system has two long time modes: LP2 and LP4. When recording in LP2 mode, you can record 2 times the normal recordable time, and in LP4 mode, you can record 4 times the normal recordable time. In addition, the recordable time for monaural recording is approximately double the stereo recording time. LP4 Stereo mode (4× long time recording mode) achieves a long stereo recording time by use of a special compression system. When placing emphasis on sound quality, Stereo recording or LP2 Stereo recording (2× long time recording mode) is recommended.

1 Before recording (CD-MD Synchro

Recording, etc.), press REC MODE repeatedly to select the recording mode you want.

The display changes as follows: STEREO REC t LP2 REC t LP4 REC

t MONO REC (Monaural) t STEREO REC t …

2 Start recording.

Changing the recording mode

The selected recording mode is kept even after recording has finished, so be sure to check the recording mode before recording. To change the recording mode, press REC MODE repeatedly to switch to the recording mode you want.

Notes

• MDs recorded in MDLP (LP2 or LP4) mode cannot be played back on a system that does not support MDLP mode. In addition, you cannot perform S.F Edit, etc., for MDs recorded in MDLP mode.

• Even if you press REC MODE during recording or recording pause, you cannot change the recording mode.

• Even if you press REC MODE repeatedly to select MONO, the monitor signal during recording does not become monaural.

To add “LP:” at the beginning of a track name during MDLP recording

“LP:” appears when you try to play the track on a system that does not support MDLP mode. This convenient function lets you know at a glance that the track cannot be played back. The factory setting is “On”.

1 Press FUNCTION repeatedly until “MD”

appears in the display.

2 Press MENU/NO on the remote repeatedly

until “Setup Menu” appears.

3 Press . or > on the remote until “LP

Stamp On” (or “LP Stamp Off”) appears, then press ENTER/YES on the remote.

the setting, then press ENTER/YES on the remote.

To Select

Add “LP” LP Stamp On (factory

setting)

Cancel adding “LP” LP Stamp Off

5 Press MENU/NO on the remote.

Notes

• The recorded “LP:” is a stamp which appears to indicate that the track cannot be played back when you try to play the track on system that does not support MDLP mode. It does not appear for systems that support MDLP mode.

• When set to “On”, “LP:” is recorded as the track name, so the number of characters that can be input to an MD is reduced. In addition, when you copy a track name with “LP:” added, “LP:” is automatically added to the copied track name. If you divide an “LP:” track using the Divide function, “LP:” is also added to the latter track.

Marking track numbers automatically during recording — Level-Synchro Recording

The Level-Synchro Recording function is factory set to on, so the track numbers are automatically marked. If “L-SYNC” does not appear during recording, turn on the LevelSynchro Recording as follows. Track numbers are automatically marked when the input signal is continuously below a certain level for more than 2 seconds and then exceeds that level.

Notes

• You cannot mark track numbers automatically if the sound source to be recorded is noisy (e.g., tapes or radio programs).

• Only one track number might be assigned when the same single track of the same CD is recorded repeatedly.
