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).

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

Do not move the deck or pull out the mains lead. After editing, “TOC” lights continuously until you eject the MD or turn off the power. “TOC” flashes while the deck is updating the TOC. When the deck finishes updating the TOC, “TOC” goes off.
