Recording on
MDs
This chapter explains the various ways to
record to an MD , as well as how to mark
track numbers and perform synchro-
recording with other components.
Recording on an MD
If the MD has recorded material on it, the recorder will
automatically start recording from the end of the recorded
portion.

Notes on Recording
When “ Protected” is displayed
The MD is record-protected. To record on the MD, slide
the tab to close the slot (see “To prevent accidental erasure
of the recorded material” on page 19).
When the record-protect slot is closed and recording is
possible, “Protected” may be displayed and recording may
not be possible. In this case, press
z (record) again to
enable recording.
When “Din Unlock” flashes
• The digital component selected with the INPUT selector
is not connected correctly. Connect the component
correctly.
• The selected digital component is not turned on. Turn
on the component.
Marking track numbers depends on the program
source to be recorded.
• When the CD or MD is a program source and they are
recorded through the digital input connector, track
numbers are marked similarly with the CD or MD as the
program source. However, only one track number may
be marked on the recorded portion as below.
- A portion recorded by repeating the same track of the
same disc (by one track repeat)
- A portion recorded by continuing the same track
number of a different disc
When the MD is the program source, a number for a
track of 4 seconds or less may not be marked.
• If the sampling frequency of the input connector changes
when the DAT tape is a program source and it is
recorded through the digital input connector, track
numbers are changed automatically.
When TOC indicator flashes
Do not turn off the recorder, disconnect the AC power, or
move the recorder when recording on the MD because the
recording will be lost. If you turn off the recorder or
disconnect the AC power immediately after recording, the
recording will be lost.
When PLAY MODE is “PROGRAM,” “SHUFFLE,” or
“M.ACCESS” (pages 32, 33, 34)
PLAY MODE changes automatically to “CONTINUE” and
recording pauses.
When ”Cannot Copy” flashes
The mini-disc recorder conforms to the Serial Copy
Management System. MDs recorded through the digital
input connector cannot be copied to other MDs through
the digital output connector (page 65).
Operations you may want to do during recording

When you pause recording
The track number increases by one. For example, if you
pause recording while recording track 4, the track number
will be 5 when you resume recording.
To prevent accidental erasure of the recorded
material
To make it impossible to record on an MD, slide the
record-protect tab in the direction of the arrow (see
illustration below) to open the slot. To enable recording,
close the slot.

Recording for long times
In addition to normal stereo recording, this recorder has
two long time recording modes: LP2 and LP4. When
recording in LP2 stereo mode, you can record 2 times the
normal recordable time, and in LP4 Stereo mode, you can
record 4 times the normal recordable time. In addition, the
recordable time for monaural recording is approximately
double the stereo recording time.
Note
MDs recorded in MD LP (LP2 or LP4 Stereo) mode cannot
be played back on a recorder that does not support MD LP
mode. In addition, you cannot perform S.F Edit for MDs
recorded in MD LP mode.

Hidden “LP:” is recorded at the beginning of
tracks during MD LP recording.
This is a confirmation stamp indicating no play when play
is performed by the non-MD LP component. The stamp is
not displayed by playable MD LP components, but is
displayed when play is performed by the non-MD LP
component.
If the name of the MD LP-recorded track is copied as the
name of the MONO or STEREO recorded track, “LP:” is
displayed (page 48).
The digital output connectors of the mini-disk
recorder output the signal input from the digital
input connectors as it is during recording or
recording pause.
Use an input monitor function (page 22) when only a built-
in sampling rate converter is used.

ANALOG INPUT LEVEL
A range of _

~ + 15 dB can be adjusted by ANALOG
INPUT LEVEL. This adjustment can be used when the
analog output level of connected components is too low or
too high.
Normally use the range in the initialized center position
(0dB).
z You can use a peak hold function
The state of the peak level meter when the level of the
input/output signal is the highest can be stopped for
display until the signal exceeding the level is input.
1 Press MENU/NO twice during stop or play.
2 Turn AMS (or press . / > repeatedly) until “Peak
Hold” appears, then press AMS or YES.

Note
The volume can only be increased up to + 12 dB (for analog
recording) or
+
18.0 dB (for digital recording). Therefore, if
the output level of the connected component is low, it may
not be possible to set the recording level to maximum.
