Recording on MDs
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 programme source is not connected as you set
with INPUT in Step 4 on page 6.
To continue, connect the programme source properly.
• The programme source is not on.
Turn on the programme source.
Depending on source being recorded, track numbers are
marked in following ways:
• When recording from 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 track 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 with INPUT at DIGITAL the deck may
not automatically mark track numbers for some CD
players and multi disc players. In these cases, mark the
track numbers afterwards using the deck’s Divide
Function (see “Dividing Recorded Tracks” on page 26).
• When recording from source connected through LINE
(ANALOG) IN with INPUT at ANALOG, and “LEVELSYNC” does not light up (see “Marking Track Numbers
while Recording” on page 12) or when recording from
DAT or satellite broadcasts connected 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 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.
Recording on MDs
The MD deck uses the SCMS (Serial Copy Management
System on page 36)
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).

5 After you have finished using the timer, set
TIMER on the deck to OFF. Then place the deck
in standby status by plugging the mains lead of
the deck into a wall outlet or set the timer to
continuous operation.
• If TIMER is left at REC, the deck will
automatically start recording the next time you
turn the deck on.
• If you do not change the deck to standby status
for more than a month after timer recording has
finished, the recorded contents may disappear.
Make sure to change the deck to standby status within a
month after timer recording is completed
The TOC on the MD is updated and recorded contents are
written to the MD when you turn the deck on. If the
recorded contents have disappeared, “STANDBY” flashes
when you turn the deck on.
Notes
• It may take about 30 seconds after the deck is turned on
until recording starts. When recording at a specified time
using the timer, be sure to take this time into account
when setting the recording start time.
• During timer recording, new material is recorded from the
end of the recorded portion on the MD.
• Material recorded during timer recording will be saved to
the disc the next time you turn the deck on. “TOC” will
flash in the display at that time. Do not move the deck or
pull out the mains lead while “TOC” is flashing.
• Timer recording will stop if the disc becomes full.
3 Set TIMER on the deck to REC.
4 Set the timer as required.
• When you have set the time for the start of
recording, the deck turns off. When the
specified time arrives, the deck turns on and
starts recording.
• When you have set the time for the end of
recording, recording continues. When the
specified time arrives, the deck stops recording
and turns off.
• When you have set the time for both the start
and end of recording, the deck turns off. When
the starting time arrives, the deck turns on and
starts recording. When the ending time arrives,
the deck stops recording and turns off.

Notes on Editing
You can edit the recorded tracks after recording, using
the following functions:
• Erase Function allows you to erase recorded tracks
simply by specifying the corresponding track
number.
• Divide Function allows you to divide tracks at
specified points so that you can quickly locate those
points 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.
z To avoid confusion when erasing multiple tracks, you
should proceed in order of high to low track number to
prevent the renumbering of tracks that have not been
erased yet.
Example: Erasing B
