Recording on MDs
Notes on Recording
If "Protected" appears in the display
The MD is record-protected. Close the slot to record
on the disc (see 'To protect an MD against accidental
erasure" on page 9).
If "Din Unlock" flashes in the display
• The digital program source is not connected as you
set with the INPUT switch in Step 4 on page 8.
To continue, connect the program source properly.
• The program source is not on.
Turn on the program source.
Depending on the menu settings and source being
recorded, track numbers are marked in following
ways:
• When recording from a CD or MD with the INPUT
switch set at COAX, OPTl, or OPT2 and the source
connected through the respective DIGITAL IN
connector:
The deck automatically marks track numbers in the
same sequence as the original. If, however, a track is
repeated two or more times (e.g. by single-track
repeat play) or two or more tracks with the same
track number (e.g. from different MDs or CDs) are
played, the track or tracks are recorded as part of a
single, continuous track with a single track number.
If the source is an MD, track numbers may not be
marked for tracks of less than 4 seconds.
• When recording from a source connected through
the LINE(ANALOG) IN connectors with the INPUT
switch set at ANALOG or when recording from a
DAT or satellite broadcast connected through one of
the DIGITAL IN connectors with the INPUT switch
set at the respective digital position and "T.Mark
Off" selected in the S02 menu:
The source will be recorded as a single track.
• Even while recording an analog source or a DAT or
satellite broadcast, you can mark track numbers if a
setting other than 'T.Mark Off" is selected in the S02
menu (see "Marking Track Numbers While
Recording" on page 14).
• When recording from DAT or satellite broadcasts
with the INPUT switch set at the respective digital
position, the deck automatically marks a track
number whenever the sampling frequency of the
input signal changes regardless of the S02 menu
setting.
'Q* You can mark track numbers at 1- or 5-minute
intervals
For details, see "Marking track numbers automatically
at regular intervals" (page 15).
When "TOC Writing" flashes in the display
The deck is currently updating the Table Of Contents
(TOC). Do not move the deck or pull out the AC
power cord. Changes to an MD made through
recording are saved only when you update the TOC by
ejecting the MD or changing the deck to standby by
pressing the POWER switch.
The MD deck uses the SCMS (Serial Copy
Management System on page 40)
MDs recorded through digital input connector cannot
be copied onto other MDs or DAT tapes through the
digital output connector.
When recording digital signals that have been
emphasized (in the higher frequencies)
The signal is automatically de-emphasized (with
attenuation proportional to the degree of emphasis)
and the level of the de-emphasized signal is indicated
on the peak level meters.
When the deck is recording or in recording pause,
digital signals input through one of the DIGITAL IN
connectors are output to the DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL
connector with the same sampling rate
To change the digital input signal to another sampling
rate for output (without recording it to an MD), use
Input Monitor Function (see page 11).
Q' You can mark track numbers during or after
recording
For details, see "Marking Track Numbers While
Recording" (page 14) and "Dividing Recorded Tracks"
(page 31).
