• Make sure that the remaining recordable time on the
MD is longer than the playing time of the CD,
especially if you want to record all the tracks on the
CD.
• You cannot pause recording during High-Speed
CD-MD Synchro Recording.
• If the play mode is set to Repeat Play or Shuffle
Play, it automatically switches to normal play in
step 3.
• When recording in “LP2” or “LP4” Stereo mode,
recording takes approximately twice as long as
normal high-speed recording.
