INPUT
When your MD-2321 is configured into a system with an
ONKYO CD player bearing the
mark, you can operate
the MD recorder and synchronize with the CD player.
1. Set the MD recorder to recording standby mode.
Refer to “Recording from an analog source” on pages 14
and 15 or “Recording from a digital source” on pages 12 and
13 for more information on how to set the MD recorder to
recording standby mode and prepare it for recording.
For digital CD Synchro recording.
Connect the CD player’s (optical or coaxial) digital out-
put terminal to the MD-2321’s DIGITAL INPUT.
2. Start playing the CD.
The unit starts recording as soon as the CD starts playing.
If your cassette deck is also in recording standby mode, it
starts recording simultaneously.
When playback of the CD is complete, the MD recorder
stops recording and enters recording standby mode.
To stop CD Synchro recording...
Press the
■
button on the CD player. The MD recorder then
enters recording standby mode.
Note:
For analog recording, set the input selector of the amplifier to
“CD.” If you change the input selector to a different setting
during recording, the MD recorder will stop recording and
enter recording standby mode.
Even if your recording source is a portable MD player or not
Onkyo
-compatible player, you can still perform syn-
chronized recording. Signal-synchronized recording records
data from the end of the recorded area.
The Auto Cut and Smart Space functions (page 13) are
enabled only when analog input is recorded.
1. Use the INPUT selector to select MO, ST, D1, or D2,
according to the connected device.
Analog connection: Select MO (monaural) or ST (stereo).
DIGITAL INPUT 1 OPTICAL connection: Select D1
DIGITAL INPUT 2 COAXIAL connection: Select D2.
You can perform Signal Synchro recording with both dig-
ital and analog recording sources.
2. Press the EDIT/NO button repeatedly until “Signal
Rec?” appears.
3. Press the YES button.
“Complete” appears and the unit waits for signal input.
Note:
If “Signal Rec?” does not appear when you press the
EDIT/NO button, first press the
■
STOP button, then try
again.
If no signal is input for approx. 30 seconds, the MD
recorder will enter recording standby mode.
Recording starts as soon as the unit receives signals from
the recording source while “Signal Wait” is displayed.
