• Even while recording an analog source or a DAT or
satellite broadcast, you can mark track numbers if
“T.Mark LSyn” is selected in Setup Menu (see
“Marking Track Numbers While Recording” on
page 24).
• When recording from DAT or satellite broadcasts
with “OPT” selected by the INPUT button, the deck
automatically marks a track number whenever the
sampling frequency of the input signal changes
regardless of track marking setting (“T.Mark LSyn”
or “T.Mark Off”).
z You can mark track numbers during or after
recording
For details, see “Marking Track Numbers While
Recording” (page 24) and “Dividing Recorded Tracks”
(page 30).
When “TOC Writing” flashes in the display

(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
1/u switch.
The deck uses the SCMS (Serial Copy Management
System on page 45)
The contents of MDs recorded through digital input
connector cannot be recorded by this deck through the
DIGITAL OPTICAL IN connector.

Depending on the Setup Menu settings and source
being recorded, track numbers are marked in
following ways:
• When recording from a CD on the deck or from a CD
player or MD deck connected through the DIGITAL
OPTICAL IN connector:
The deck automatically marks track numbers in the
same sequence as the original.
However, the deck may not automatically mark track
numbers in the following cases:
— When you consecutively record the same track
two or more times using single-track repeat play.
— When you consecutively record two or more
tracks with the same track number but from
different CDs or MDs.
— When you record tracks less than 4 seconds long
during stereo, monaural, or LP2 Stereo recording
(less than 8 seconds long during LP4 Stereo
recording).
• When recording from some CD players and multi
disc players connected through the DIGITAL
OPTICAL IN connector with “OPT” selected by the
INPUT button:
The deck may not automatically mark track
numbers. In these cases, mark the track numbers
after recording, using the deck’s Divide Function (see
“Dividing Recorded Tracks” on page 30).
• When recording from a source connected through
the ANALOG IN jacks with “ANALOG” selected by
the INPUT button or when recording from a DAT or
satellite broadcast connected through the DIGITAL
OPTICAL IN connector with “OPT” selected by the
INPUT button and “T.Mark Off” is selected in Setup
Menu:
The source will be recorded as a single track.
