Before you start recording
MDs (MiniDisc) let you digitally record and
play music with high quality sound. Another
feature of MDs is track marking. The track
marking feature lets you quickly locate a
specific point or easily edit the recorded tracks.
However, depending on the source you record,
the recording method and the way the track
numbers are recorded differ.
When the source you record from is:
• This system’s CD player
– The MD deck performs digital recording.*
1
– Track numbers are automatically marked as
on the original CD.
• Other digital components
connected to the CD DIGITAL IN
jack
– The MD deck performs digital recording.*
1
– Track numbers are marked differently
depending on the source you record.
• This system’s tuner and other
analogue components connected
to the VIDEO (AUDIO) IN jacks
– The MD deck performs analogue recording.
– A track number is marked at the beginning
of a recording, but when you turn on the
Level Synchro Recording function (see
“Marking track numbers” on page 21), track
numbers are automatically marked in sync
with the level of the input signal.

For details on the limitations of digital recording,

If you use a partially recorded MD, recording
starts after the recorded tracks.
