Basic Operations
Tips
• If you use a partially recorded MD, recording starts
after the recorded tracks.
• If the Smart Space function is on and there is no
sound input for about 3 seconds or more (but less
than 30 seconds) while recording, the MD deck
replaces this silence with a blank of about 3 seconds
and continues recording. However, this function
may not activate if there is noise.
Note
If “Cannot SYNC” appears, a disc is not loaded or
you cannot record on that MD (see page 79).
If the MD becomes full during
recording
The tape deck and the MD deck stop
automatically.
Before pulling out the power
cord
MD recording is completed when the MD Table
of Contents (TOC) is updated. The TOC is
