MD – Recording
CMT-CP505MD 4-241-515-11(1) GB
When you use a partially recorded
MD
You cannot record while overwriting the
recorded tracks.
Recording starts after the recorded tracks.
If you want to erase the recorded tracks, erase
the tracks using Erase function (page 33).
Note on MD track numbers
On an MD, the track numbers (track sequence),
track start and end point information, etc., are
recorded in the TOC*
3
area independent of the
sound information. You can edit recorded
tracks quickly by modifying the TOC
information.
About recording errors
• With the following kinds of CDs, you may
experience a reading failure or noise when
recorded on an MD:
— CDs with adhesive labels attached to them
— Irregularly shaped CDs (for example, heart- or
star- shaped)
— CDs with printed text concentrated on one side
only
— Scratched CDs
— Dirty CDs
— Warped CDs
• If the following occurs during CD playback or
recording, a reading error may occur or noise may
be produced in the recorded results:
— The disc tray or other part of the system is
bumped.
— The system is placed on an uneven or soft
surface.
— The system is located near a speaker, door, or
other source of vibration.
• If the above reading errors occur, an extra soundless
track may be created. You can erase these extra
tracks using Erase Function (page 33).
