If “–Retry–” flashes in the display after you press · or P in step 6
A reading failure has occurred, and the deck is trying to read the data again.
• If the retry was successful, the deck continues with High-Speed CD-MD
Synchro-Recording.
• If the condition of the inserted CD or the deck is poor, and retry fails, High-
Speed CD-MD Synchro-Recording is disabled. In this case, the indicator on
the CD SYNCHRO NORMAL button flashes and the deck automaticaly
starts recording in normal CD-MD Synchro-Recording. Note that
monitoring of the recorded signal is not possible when this occurs.
Do not disconnect the deck from the power source immediately after
recording
If you do, recorded material may not be saved to the MD. To save the
material, after recording, press § EJECT to take out the MD or turn off the
deck. “TOC Writing” will flash at this time.
After “TOC Writing” goes out, you can pull out the AC power cord.
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
turning off the deck.

You can use either the controls on the deck or the buttons on the remote (see

Notes
• If the following occurs during CD playback or recording, a reading error may occur
or noise may be produced in the recorded results:
— The CD tray or other part of the system is bumped.
— The system is placed on an uneven or soft surface.
— The system is located near a speaker, door, or other source of vibration.
• If the above reading errors occur, a extra soundless track may be created. You can
erase these extra tracks using the edit function of the MD deck.
Notes
• You cannot record over existing
material. The system
automatically starts recording
from the end of the exisiting
material.
• Make sure that the remaining
recordable time on the MD is
longer than the playing time of
the CD, especially if you want to
record all the tracks on the CD.
• You cannot pause recording.
• If the play mode is set to Repeat
Play or Shuffle Play, it
automatically switches to normal
play at step 5.
• The recording level specified in
the Setup Menu (page 23) is not
applied. The initial reference
level (0.0 dB) is used instead.
• When recording in LP2 or LP4
Stereo mode, recording takes
approximately twice as long as
normal high-speed recording.
• The Auto Cut Function does not
work.
• With the following kinds of CDs,
you may experience a reading
failure or noise when recorded to
an MD:
— CDs with adhesive labels
attached to them
— Irregularly shaped CDs (for
example, heart- or star-
shaped)

concentrated on one side only
— Old CDs
