Recording on MDs
• Even while recording an analog source or a DAT or
satellite broadcast, you can mark track numbers if
“LEVEL SYNC ON” is selected in SET UP menu
“LEVEL SYNC” (see “Marking Track Numbers
While Recording” on page 17).
• When recording from DAT or satellite broadcasts
with a digital input selected by the A-INPUT or
B-INPUT button, the deck automatically marks a
track number whenever the sampling frequency of
the input signal changes regardless of SET UP menu
“LEVEL SYNC” setting.
z
You can mark track numbers during or after
recording
For details, see “Marking Track Numbers While
Recording” (page 17) and “Dividing Recorded Tracks”
(page 34).
When “TOC Writing” appears in the display
The deck is currently updating the Table Of Contents
(TOC).  Do not move the deck or pull out the AC
power cord.  Changes to an MD made through
recording are saved only when you update the TOC by
ejecting the MD or changing the deck to standby by
pressing the 1/u switch.
The MD deck uses the SCMS (Serial Copy
Management System on page 47)
MDs recorded through digital input connector cannot
be copied onto other MDs or DAT tapes through the
digital output connector.
When the deck is recording or in recording pause,
digital signals input through one of the digital input
connectors are output to the DIGITAL OPTICAL OUT
connector 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 15).
Notes on Recording
If “Protected!!
” and “C11” appear 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 10).
If “Din Unlock” and “C71” alternate in the display
• The digital program source is not connected as you
selected with the A-INPUT or B-INPUT button in
Step 4 on page 8.
To continue, connect the program source properly.
• The program source is not on.  Turn on the program
source.
Depending on the SET UP menu settings and source
being recorded, track numbers are marked in
following ways:
• When recording from a CD or MD connected
through the digital input (DIGITAL OPTICAL IN1,
IN2 or DIGITAL COAXIAL IN) connector with a
digital input (OPT1, OPT2 or COAX) selected by the
A-INPUT or B-INPUT button, or when making a
digital recording between deck A and deck B with
A-MD or B-MD selected by the B-INPUT or
A-INPUT button:
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 from some CD players and multi
disc players connected through one of the digital
input connectors with a digital input selected by the
A-INPUT or B-INPUT button:
The deck may not automatically mark track
numbers.  In these cases, mark the track numbers
after recording, using the deck’s Divide Function (see
“Dividing Recorded Tracks” on page 34).
• When recording from a source connected through
the LINE (ANALOG) IN jacks with ANLG selected
by the A-INPUT or B-INPUT button or when making
an analog recording between deck A and deck B
with ANLG A-MD or ANLG B-MD selected by the
B-INPUT or A-INPUT button, or when recording
from a DAT or satellite broadcast connected through
one of the digital input connectors with a digital
input selected by the A-INPUT or B-INPUT button
and “LEVEL SYNC OFF” is selected in SET UP menu
“LEVEL SYNC”:
The source will be recorded as a single track.
