Notes on Recording
If "Protected” appears in the display
The MD is record-protected. Close the slot to record on the
disc (see "To protect an MD against accidental erasure" on
page 7).
If "Din Unlock" flashes in the display
• The digital program source is not connected as you set
with INPUT in Step 4 on page 6.
To continue, connect the program source properly.
• The program source is not on.
Turn on the program source.
Depending on source being recorded« track numbers are marked in following ways:
• when recording irom a CD or MD with INPUT at
DIGITAL and the source connected through DIGITAL IN:
The deck automatically marks track numbers in the same
sequence as the original. If, however, a track is repeated
two or more times (e.g. by single-track repeat play) or two
or more tracks with the same track number (e.g. from
different MDs or CDs) are played, the track or tracks are
recorded as part of a single, continuous tYack with a single
track number.
If the source is an MD, track numbers may not be marked
for tracks of less than 4 seconds.
• When recording from source connected through LINE
(ANALOG) IN with INPUT at ANALOG,„and "LEVEL-
SYNC" does not light up (see "Marking Track Number^
while Recording" on page 12) or when recording from
DAT or satellite broadcasts cormected through DIGITAL
IN with INPUT at DIGITAL:
The source will be recorded as a single track. You can
divide the track afterwards using the Divide Function (see
"Dividing Recorded Tracks" on page 26) or mark track
numbers during recording by using the Track Marking
Function on page 12.
If "LEVEL-SYNC" appears in the display, the deck
automatically marks track numbers when recording
analog source or digital recording of DAT or satellite
broadcasts (see "Marking track numbers automatically"
on page 12).
• When recording from DAT or satellite broadcasts with
INPUT at DIGITAL, the deck automatically marks a track
number whenever the sampling frequency of the input
signal changes.
The MD deck uses the SCMS (Serial Copy Management System on page 35)
MDs recorded through digital input connector cannot be
copied onto other MDs or DAT tapes through the digital
output connector.
When recording digital signals that have been emphasized (in the higher frequencies)
The signal is automatically de-emphasized (with attenuation
proportional to the degree of emphasis) and the level of the
de-emphasized signal is indicated on the peak level meters
When the deck is recording or in recording pause, digital
signals input through DIGITAL IN are output to DIGITAL
OUT with the same sampling rate.
To change the digital input signal to another sampling rate
for output (without recording it to an MD), use Input
Monitor Function (see page 10).
Useful Tips for Recording
DISPLAY/CHAR
Checking the remaining recordabie time on
the MD
• When you press DISPLAY / CHAR while recording,
the remaining recordable time on the MD appears.
• When you press DISPLAY/CHAR repeatedly while
the deck is stopped, the display changes as follows:
total recorded time, remaining recordable time on
the MD, disc name (see page 17).
(Continued)
When "TOC" flashes in the display

Editing Recorded MDs
Notes on Editing
You can edit the recorded tracks after recording, using
the following functions:
• Erase Function allows you to erase recorded tracks
simply bv specifying the corresponding track
number.
• Divide Function allows you to divide tracks at
specified points so that you can quickly locate those
p<.)ints afterwards, using the AMS function.
• Combine Function allows you to combine two
consecutive tracks into one.
• Move Function allows you to change the order of
tracks by moving a specific track to a track position
you want.
• Title Function allows you to create titles for your
recorded MDs and tracks.
If "Protected" appears in the display
The deck could not edit because the record-protect slot on
the MD is open. Edit after closing the slot.
Erasing a single track
You can erase a track simply by specifying the
respective track number. When you erase a track, the
total number of tracks on the MD decreases by one and
all tracks following the erased one are renumbered.
Since erasing merely updates the TOC, there is no need
to record over material.
^ I'o avoid contusion whcMi erasing multiple tracks, you
should proceed in order ot high to low track number to
prevent the renumbering of tracks that have not btvn
erased vet.
