The total recorded time and the
remaining time on the MD do not add
up to the maximum recording time
Recording is done in minimum units of 2 seconds*
each, no matter how short the material. The recorded
contents may be shorter than the maximum recording
capacity. Disc space may also be reduced by
scratches.
* During Stereo recording.
In Monaural or LP2 Stereo mode: about 4 seconds
In LP4 Stereo mode: about 8 seconds
The sound may drop-out while
searching the edited tracks
Tracks created through editing may exhibit sound
dropout during searching because high-speed
playback requires time to search for the position on
the disc when the tracks are not in order.
Track numbers cannot be marked
Even in the Level Synchro 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 2 seconds between tracks.
• if the input signal is below a certain fixed level for
more than 2 seconds in the middle of the track.
• if you record a track that is 4 seconds or less*.
* During Stereo, Monaural or LP2 Stereo recording
mode (In LP4 Stereo recording mode: 8 seconds or
less).
Extra tracks are created
When there is a long silence between CD tracks, an
extra track may be created.
The number of tracks on the CD and
the recorded MD is different
When there are short tracks on the CD, the number fo
tracks recorded on the MD may differ from that of the
CD.
Guide to the Serial Copy
Management System
Digital audio components, such as CDs, MDs, and
DATs let you copy music easily with high quality by
processing music as a digital signal.
To protect the copyrighted music programs, this
system uses the Serial Copy Management System that
allows you to make only a single copy of a digitally
recorded 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 (for
example, a CD or 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 analogue sound programme
(for example, an analogue record or 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 system’s CD
player to the MD deck, you make a first-generation
copy.
