Adjust the recording level while monitoring the input
signal or watching the meters.
For analog input, use the INPUT knobs (L, R) on the main
unit and the “REC VOLUME?” item in the menu to adjust
the recording levels. Use this menu item when “REC
VOLUME?” is first set to “0dB” and you cannot adjust
with the
INPUT knob.
For digital input, use the “REC VOLUME?” item in the
menu to adjust the recording level.
Adjust the levels so that the meters do not reach “OVER.”

Recording a track
When in recording standby, press the PLAY key to
start recording.

the STOP key, “UTOC Writing!” is shown as the
U–TOC is written to the disc.
If the disc remaining time becomes four seconds during •
recording, recording automatically fades out and stops.
Discs used in this unit can have a maximum of 254 •
recorded tracks. If you press the READY key while
recording the 254th track, recording ends and the unit
stops.
CAUTION
When "UTOC Writing!" is blinking, the recording is
being written to the MD. Unplugging the power cord or
moving the unit could prevent the recording from being
correctly written to the disc.
Press the READY key to pause recording. •
To eject the disc, press the EJECT key on the main unit •
when the disc is stopped.
Precautions when recording
If “W_Protected!” is shown, an MD that cannot be
recorded because the write-protection tab is engaged or
an MD that can only be played back might be loaded. In
the former case, slide the write-protection tab to close the
opening, enabling the disc for recording.
To prevent the accidental erasure of recorded contents after
recording an MD, slide the write-protection tab to open the
opening, disabling recording to the disc.
