Before You Start Recording on an MD
•
It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright
owner.
• When you record onto a partially recorded MD, its contents are not erased or overwritten. The recording starts from
the point following the last recorded track of the MD.
If you want to record on such an MD from the beginning, you have to erase its contents first (see “Erasing All Tracks
—ALL ERASE” on page 79).
• When an MD is fully recorded, recording will stop automatically.
• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the volume level. Thus, during recording you
can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.
• While recording, you can hear sound mode effect and/or the AHB PRO (Active Hyper Bass Pro) effect through the
speakers or headphones. However, the sound is recorded without these effects (see pages 21).
• While recording, the 3D PHONIC function (see page 55) or the COMPRESSION function (see page 86) is activated,
the sound is recorded with these effects.
• This unit automatically selects either digital or analog recording according to the playback source.
– For SVCD, VCD, and Audio CD: Digital recording is used.
– For DVD and MP3 disc:
Analog recording is used.
– For “AUX-DIGITAL”:
Digital recording is used.
– For other analog sources—“FM,” “AM,” “TAPE,” “AUX”:
Analog recording is used.
• You cannot record more than 254 tracks onto an MD, even if there is still enough recording time remaining on it.
About the track marks
When playing an MD, you can move among the tracks.
You can do this because there is a mark recorded at the
beginning of each track enabling you to locate the track.
This mark is called a “track mark” and the portion
between two adjacent track marks is called a “track.”
• When using the disc synchronized recording, a
track mark is recorded at the beginning of each
chapter and track. You cannot put a track mark on
manually.
• When recording from an analog source—“FM,”
“AM,” “TAPE,” “AUX,” no track mark is recorded
on the MD. This means that, when playing this MD,
the MD recorder will regard the entire recording as
one track (track 1). You will not be able to select
directly a song or navigate through songs.
However, if there is a blank of 3 seconds or more, the
MD recorder will consider it as a blank separating 2
tracks and consequently put a track mark (except
when recording from an FM or AM broadcast).
To set a track mark manually while recording an
analog source, press SET on the remote control at the
place where you want to put a track mark.
To add a track mark after recording is over, you can
use the DIVIDE function. (See page 76.)
Erasure prevention tab
Disc protected:
Recording/Editing
not possible
Recording/Editing
possible
To avoid erasing important recordings
The recordable MD has an erasure prevention tab so
that important recordings are not accidentally erased.
When you finish recording or editing, slide to open the
erasure prevention tab on the cartridge side. New
recording or editing is now no longer possible. (If you
try to do, “DISC PROTECTED” appears in the main
display.)
To do re-recording or editing, return the tab to the
closed position.
If “PLAYBACK DISC” appears in the main
display when you try to record on an MD
The MD is only for playback use, not for recording. (See page
96.)
