Tip

With normal use, the batteries should last for about six months. When the remote no longer operates the system, replace both batteries with new ones.

Notes

• If you do not use the remote for a long period of time, remove the batteries to avoid possible damage from battery leakage.

• Be sure to insert the batteries in correct direction.

• Do not mix new batteries with old ones.

• Do not use different types of batteries together.

• Do not use a battery that is leaking.

• If the battery leaks, clean the battery compartment and replace all the batteries with new ones.

To stop recording

Press CD s or MD s.

Tips

• If you use a partially recorded MD, recording starts after the recorded tracks.

• The track numbers of the CD are recorded on to the MD automatically.

• Depending on the disc, CD TEXT information may also be recorded. If “CD TEXT” flashes during recording, press NAME EDIT/CHARACTER, and then press ENTER/YES to record the title of the current track. (If “CD TEXT” is lit, it is automatically recorded.)

To stop recording

Press CD s or MD s.

If “Retry” flashes in the display after you press MD S in step 4

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 High-Speed CD-MD Synchro Recording. In this case, “×2” lights up in the display.

• If the condition of the inserted CD or the MD deck is poor, and retry fails, High-Speed CDMD 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.

Notes

• You cannot record over existing material during High-Speed CD-MD Synchro Recording. The MD deck automatically starts recording from the end of the existing material.

• Make sure that the remaining recordable time on the MD is longer than the playing time of the CD, especially if you want to record all the tracks on the CD.

• You cannot pause recording during High-Speed CD-MD Synchro Recording. If you pause or stop recording, a track that was recorded only partially is not recorded to the MD.

• If the play mode is set to the Repeat or Shuffle Play, it automatically switches to normal play at step 3.

• The following items are either inoperative or cannot be used during High-Speed CD-MD SynchroRecording:

— The Auto Cut Function — Recorded signal monitoring

• With the following kinds of CDs, you may experience a reading failure or noise when recorded to an MD:

— CDs with adhesive labels attached to them — Irregularly shaped CDs (for example, heart- or

star- shaped)

— CDs with printed text concentrated on one side

only — Old CDs — Scratched CDs — Dirty CDs — Warped CDs

• If the following occurs during CD playback or recording, a reading error may occur or noise may be produced in the recorded results:

— The CD tray or other part of the system is

bumped.

— The system is placed on an uneven or soft

surface.

— The system is located near a speaker, door, or

other source of vibration.

• If the above reading errors occur, a extra soundless track may be created. You can erase these extra tracks using the edit function of the MD deck (see page 43).
