Recording to an MD
Digital recording technique uses an optical digital cable to
input signals from a digital recording source.
•
This MD recorder contains a sampling frequency rate con-
verter for digital input signals which converts the sampling
frequency of digital input signals to 44.1 kHz before
recording.
This converter can handle the following sampling frequen-
cies:
44.1 kHz (CD player)
32 kHz (DAT, satellite broadcasting)
48 kHz (DAT, satellite broadcasting)
1. Press the STANDBY/ON button.
The STANDBY indicator will turn off.
2. Load a recordable MD.
To check the time remaining for recording...
When the MD recorder is stopped, press the DISPLAY
button. Each press of the DISPLAY button changes the
display as follows:
The number of tracks on the disc and the total recorded
time
→
Available recording time on the disc
→
Disc name
(“No Name” appears if the disc is not named.)
3. Set the INPUT selector to the “D1” or “D2” position.
D1: Select this if you have connected the recording
source equipment to DIGITAL INPUT 1 (OPTICAL).
D2: Select this if you have connected the recording
source equipment to DIGITAL INPUT 2 (COAXIAL).
Note:
Make sure which of the digital input terminals the sup-
plied optical cable is connected to. If you attempt to per-
form digital recording using a digital input terminal that
is not connected, “D.In Unlock” will appear.
4. Select the position (track number) on the disc at which
you wish to start recording.
•
To record while erasing the existing tracks on the
disc...
Turn the AMCS knob to select the track number from
which you wish to start recording. (The selected track
number will flash.) The MD recorder will record new
data while erasing the selected track and subsequent
tracks.
•
To record by erasing all existing tracks on the disc...
Select Track 1 via the AMCS knob or after erasing the
entire contents of the disc. (See “Erasing a track” on
page 20.)
If a new disc is used for recording, or if you wish to
record over the existing track(s) on the disc, ignore this
step and proceed to step 5.
