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.
Recording on MDs
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).
When the source you record from is:
• This system's CD player
– The digital signal from the CD is recorded as it is (digital
recording)*.
– Track numbers are automatically marked as on the
original CD.
• This system's tuner and tape deck
– The analog signal is converted to a digital signal and
recorded (analog recording)**.
– A track number is marked at the beginning of a recording,
but when you turn on the Level Sync function (see page
12), track numbers are automatically marked in sync with
the level of the input signal.
* For details on the limitations for digital recording, see
page 31.
** This signal is converted because these systems do not use
digital signals.
Note on MD track numbers
On an MD, the track number (track sequence), track start
and end point information, etc., are recorded in the TOC*
area independent of the sound information. You can edit
recorded tracks quickly by modifying the TOC information.
* TOC: Table Of Contents.

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 AC power cord while “TOC” is flashing.
