Sony hcd-101 User Manual

Tracks created through editing may exhibit sound
dropout during searching because high-speed
playback takes time to search for the position on the
disc when the tracks are scattered on the disc.

• When recording a CD through a digital

connection, extra track numbers may be marked.

• When “LEVEL-SYNC” (page 38) is displayed

during analog recording, the track numbers may
not be marked at the beginning of the track:
– if the input signal is below a certain fixed level

for less than two seconds

– if the input signal is below a certain fixed level

for more than two seconds in the middle of the
track.

Digital audio components, such as CDs, MDs, and
DATs let you copy music easily with high quality,
for these digital products process music as a digital
signal.
To protect the copyrighted music programmes, this
unit uses the Serial Copy Management System that
allows you to make only a single copy of a recorded
digital source through digital-to-digital
connections.
You can make only a first generation copy*
through a digital-to-digital connection.
For example:
1 You can make a copy of a commercially available

digital sound programme (e.g., a CD and an MD),
but you cannot make a second copy from the first-
generation copy.

2 You can make a copy of a digital signal from a

digitally recorded analog sound programme (e.g.,
an analog record and a music cassette tape) or
from a digital satellite broadcast programme, but
you cannot make a second copy.

* A first-generation copy means a digital recording

of a digital signal made on digital audio
equipment.  For example, if you record from this
unit’s CD player to this MD deck, you’d make a
first-generation copy.

The recording system in your MD deck has
limitations described below.  Note, however,
that these limitations are due to the inherent
nature of the MD recording system itself and
not to mechanical causes.

When 255 tracks have been recorded on the MD,
“Disc Full” lights up regardless of the total recorded
time.  More than 255 tracks cannot be recorded on
the MD.  To continue recording, erase unnecessary
tracks or use another recordable MD.

Fluctuations in emphasis within tracks are
sometimes interpreted as track intervals, increasing
the track count and causing “Disc Full” to light up.

Tracks shorter than 12 seconds long are not counted,
so erasing them may not increase the recording
time.

Track combination may become impossible when
tracks are shorter than 12 seconds long.

Recording is done in minimum units of 2 seconds
each, no matter how short the material.  The
contents recorded may thus be shorter than the
maximum recording capacity.  Disc space may also
be further reduced by scratches.
