Notes
• During Relay Recording, the SET UP menu and the source
you want to record are set automatically according to
deck A.
• When the MD in deck A becomes full, recording on deck B
(which is currently stopped) begins.
(Relay Recording cannot be performed when deck B is
playing, recording or editing.)
• When Relay Recording has finished, press RELAY to turn
off the RELAY indicator.
Overlap Recording
• If you set “OVERLAP REC” to “ON” in Step 6, deck
B starts recording simultaneously from the point
when there is 10 minutes remaining on the MD in
deck A. This is useful when you do not want a track
to be divided into two portions and recorded
separately on two MDs while recording a music
program, etc.
• If you set “OVERLAP REC” to “OFF” in Step 6, deck
B starts recording immediately after deck A stops
recording. This is useful for recording linguistic
materials and talk shows, etc.
Note
To combine portions of the same track recorded on the MDs
in decks A and B into a single track, perform the following
operations.
1 Move the longer portion from the MD on which it is
recorded to the other MD using the 1Tr Move Function
(see page 42).
2 Combine the portions into a single track using the
Combine Function (see page 35).
At this time, do not dub the longer portion or move the
shorter portion in Step 1, as the sound may drop out part-
way through the track after the edit.
