programme source. The Track Marking 
Function, however, will differ according to the 
programme source. For details, see “Marking

Note
During Music Synchro-recording, Smart Space and 
Auto Cut will operate regardless of their setting 
(“S.Space On” or “S.Space Off”).
When the deck is connected to a Sony CD 
player or Hi-Fi component system, you can 
easily copy the contents of CDs to the MD 
using the deck’s remote. Because the MD 
remote operates both the MD deck and the CD 
player or CD player section of the component 
system, make sure to place the MD deck and the 
CD player as close together as possible.
