Before you start
recording Recording on an MD
manually
MDs (Mini Disc) let you digitally record and
play back music with high quality sound that
compares with the sound of CDs. Another
feature of MDs is track making. The track
making feature lets you quickly locate a
specific point or easily edit the recorded
tracks. However, depending on the source
you record, the recording method varies.
Also, the way the track numbers are recorded
differs depending on the source.
When the source you record from is:
• This system's CD player
- The digital signal from the CD is recorded as it is
(digital recording'').
- Track numbers are automatically marked as on the
original CD.
• Other digital components
(e.g., a DAT deck)
- The digital signal is converted to an analog signal
once, then re-converted to a digital signal and
■recorded'^ (analog recording).
- A track number is marked at beginning of
recording, but when you turn on the Level Sync
function (see page 26), track numbers are
automatically marked in sync vdth the level of the
input signal.
• This unit's tuner and other analog
components
(e.g., a tape deck)
- The analog signal is converted to digital and
recorded (analog recording).
- A track number is marked at the beginning of
recording, but when you turn on the Level Sync
function (see page 26), track numbers are
automatically marked in sync with the level of the
input signal.
■' For details on limitations of digital recording, see
page 43.
This signal conversion happens because this unit
does not have digital input and output.
The system automatically locates the last
recorded portion and starts recording from
that point.
Set the MD/TAPE switch on the remote to
