Recording onto an MD

Things to Know Before You Start Recording
It should be noted that it may be unlawful to pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the consent of the owner of copy right in the sound or video recording, broadcast or cable program and in any literary, dramatic, or artistic embodied therein. The sampling frequency rate converter built in the MD recorder allows you to record a digital source if its sampling frequency is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz. If no source equipment is connected to the AUX terminal or if the sampling frequency of the connected equipment is not 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz, DIGITAL UNLOCK appears in the display window (no recording is possible). When you record onto partially recorded MD, its contents are not erased or overwritten. The recording starts from the point following the last recorded track of the MD. If you want to record on such an MD from the beginning, you have to erase its contents first (see ALL ERASE Function on page 23). The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME dial. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.

About the track marks

When playing an MD, you can move among the tracks using MULTI JOG dial or < / > button quickly, and 4 / or UP/DOWN button step by step. You can do this because there is a mark recorded at the beginning of each track enabling you to locate the track. This mark is called a track mark and the portion between two adjacent track marks is called a track. When recording from a digital source such as a CD player, a track mark is recorded automatically at the beginning of each track. When recording from an analog source such as FM/AM broadcasts, no track mark is recorded on the MD. This means that, when playing this MD, the MD recorder will regard the entire recording as one track (track 1). You will not be able to select directly a certain portion or navigate through them. However, if there is a blank of three seconds or more, the MD recorder will consider it as a blank separating 2 tracks and consequently put a track mark. To put a track mark manually while recording an analog source, press SET button where you want to put a track mark. To add a track mark after recording is over, you can use the DIVIDE function (see page 20).
To avoid erasing important recordings
Recordable MDs have an erasure protect tab so that important recordings are not accidentally erased. When you finish recording or editing, slide open the erasure protect tab on the cartridge side surface. New recording or editing is now no longer possible. To do re-recording or editing, return the tab to the closed position.

Sound Skip Guard Memory

The biggest weakness of discs is their susceptibility to vibration. The Sound Skip Guard Memory has been developed to cope with this weakness. With this function, a few seconds of signals read by the optical read head from the disc are first stored in memory before being reproduced as audio signals. Thus, even when vibration or shock interrupts signals being read, these stored signals can continue to reproduce sounds for the few seconds. Thus, the user will enjoy uninterrupted music.
