Recording to HDD
Notes on recording
Before recording
• You cannot select a play list as the recording
destination.
• 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.

Highlight position, and the track containing the
Highlight position becomes the new representative
track of the album.
Notes
• You cannot divide a track at its beginning or end.
• You cannot divide a track if the total number of
tracks in the album will exceed 400 after the

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.
32
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.
