Overview

This recorder, with its internal hard disc, supports the following functions:

Recording

More than 600 hours of data can be recorded to the recorder’s HDD. Up to 500 albums can be created on the HDD with each album containing up to 400 tracks for a total of 20,000 tracks. Like an MD deck, this recorder supports Synchro-Recording and the editing of recorded tracks.

* A database containing information about CDs on

the market

• Highlight Play (page 22) This function allows you to listen to just a part of a single track in each album in order to find a specific album on the HDD.

Play list

You can create play lists containing only the tracks you want. Besides the 500 albums that you can create on the HDD, you can create up to 10 albums through play lists on the HDD, with each play list containing up to 400 tracks.

Notes on recording

Before recording

• You cannot record over an existing track. If you select an album with existing tracks as the recording destination, the recorder automatically starts recording from the end of the existing tracks.

After recording

The HDD play mode automatically switches to Normal Play.

Automatic conversion of digital sampling rates

A built-in sampling rate converter automatically converts the sampling frequency of various digital sources to the 44.1 kHz sampling rate of the recorder. This allows you to monitor and record sources such as 32- or 48-kHz DAT tape or satellite broadcasts, as well as the CDs and HDD.

Maximum number of recordable tracks

Total number of the tracks recorded on the HDD cannot exceeds 20,000, not counting the tracks in play lists.

If “Track Full!” appears in the display when you select the recording destination

The album already contains 400 tracks, the maximum number of tracks that can be recorded to a single album. Select another album. When using the REC-IT function, the recording will be cancelled automatically.

If “Drive Full!” appears in the display while recording to the HDD

Further recording is impossible because there is not enough recordable space on the HDD or the maximum number of recordable tracks has been attained on the HDD. Erase any unnecessary albums or tracks to continue recording to the HDD.

Tips for Level Synchro Recording

• When recording from a CD player or an MD deck connected to the DIGITAL OPTICAL IN connector, the entire material might be recorded as a single track in the following cases: – When you consecutively record the same track

two or more times using single-track repeat play.

– When you consecutively record two or more

tracks with the same track number but from different CDs or MDs.

– When you record tracks from certain CD or

multi-disc players.

• When recording from a component connected to the ANALOG IN jacks with “T.Mark Off” selected or when recording from a DAT deck or DBS tuner connected to the DIGITAL OPTICAL IN connector, the entire material may be recorded as a single track.

Tips

• You can mark track numbers even after recording has finished. (see “Dividing Recorded Tracks” on page 24)

• To restore the factory setting, press CLEAR while setting the trigger level in step 4.

Notes

• If this function is activated when the 400th track is reached, recording stop.

• When recording from a CD, a track number might not be marked for tracks less than 4 seconds in length.

Precautions

On safety

• Caution — The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the recorder and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square, star) cannot be played on this unit. Attempting to do so may damage the unit. Do not use such discs.

On power sources

• Before operating the recorder, check that the operating voltage of the recorder is identical with your local power supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the rear of the recorder.

• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

• Be sure to turn off the recorder before disconnecting the power cord.

• If you are not going to use the recorder for a long time, be sure to disconnect the recorder from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord (mains lead), grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.

• AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop.

On placement

• Place the recorder in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the recorder.

• Do not place the recorder on a soft surface such as a rug that might block the ventilation holes on the bottom.

• Do not place the recorder in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock.

• Do not place heavy objects such as an amplifier, deck, etc. on top of the recorder.

On operation

• If the recorder is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lenses inside the recorder. Should this occur, the recorder may not operate properly. In this case, remove the CD and leave the recorder turned on for about an hour until the moisture evaporates.

On cleaning

• Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent such as alcohol or benzine.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your recorder, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Notes on CDs

On handling CDs

• To keep the CD clean, handle the CD by its edge. Do not touch the surface.

• Do not stick paper or tape on the CD.

• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat source such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as there can be a considerable rise in temperature inside the car.

• If there is glue or a similar substance on the CD, remove it completely before using the CD.

• After playing, store the CD in its case.

On cleaning

• Fingerprint or dust on the CD may cause poor sound reproduction or sound dropout.

• Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the centre out.

• If the CD is still dirty after being wiped with a cleaning cloth, wipe it again with a slightly moistened cloth. Then wipe off the residual moisture with a dry cloth.

• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

Page 33

On CD-R/CD-RW discs

• This recorder does not support the use of CD-R/ CD-RW discs.

Note on High-Speed CDHDD Synchro-Recording

Certain CD conditions may cause sound dropout or noise in the recording results, or even create unwanted tracks on the HDD. If this happens, clean the CD as instructed on “On cleaning” on page 32, and record material to the HDD using normal-speed CD-HDD SynchroRecording only.

Notes on handling the hard disc

The hard disc has a high storage density and reads or writes data in a short time with compared to the floppy disk. On the other hand, it may be easily damaged by mechanical vibration, shock or dust. Keep the hard disc away from magnets. Although the hard disc has safety devices to prevent losing data due to mechanical vibration, shock or dust, you should be careful when handling the recorder. Avoid damaging your data:

• Do not cause a shock or strong vibration to the recorder.

• Do not place the recorder in a location subject to mechanical vibration or in unstable location.

• Do not move the recorder while the power is on.

• Do not turn off the recorder while the HDD indicator lights up blue.

• Do not use the recorder in a place subject to extreme changes in temperature (temperature gradient less than 18 °F (10 °C)/ hour).

• Keep any magnetic objects, including a TV set, speaker, magnet, and magnetic bracelet, away from the recorder.

If the hard disc is damaged, data cannot be restored or recovered.
