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 10).
If "Din Unlock" flashes in the display
• The digital program source is not connected as you set
with INPUT in Step 4 on page 9.
To continue, connect the program source properly.
• The program source is not on.
Turn on the program source.
Depending on source being recorded, track numbers are
marked in following ways:
• When recording from a CD or MD with INPUT set to
digital input and the source connected through the
respective digital input 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 source connected through LINE
(ANALOC) IN with INPUT at ANALOG, and "LEVEL-
SYNC" does not light up (see "Marking Track Numbers
while Recording" on page 15) or when recording from
DAT or satellite broadcasts connected through a digital
input cable with INPUT set to digital input:
The source will be recorded as a single track. You can
divide the track afterwards using the Divide Function (see
"Dividing Recorded Tracks" on page 28) or mark track
numbers during recording by using the Track Marking
Function on page 15.
If "LEVEL-SYNC" appears in the display, the deck
automatically marks track numbers when recording
analog source or digital recording of DAT or safellite
broadcasts (see "Marking track numbers automatically"
on page 15).
• When recording from DAT or satellite broadcasts with
INPUT set to digital input, the deck automatically marks a
track number whenever the sampling frequency of the
input signal changes.
The MD deck uses the SCMS (Serial Copy Management
System on page 37)
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 DIGITAL OPTICAL IN1, IN2 or
DIGITAL COAXIAL IN are output to DIGITAL OPTICAL OUT
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 13).

Checking the remaining recordable time on
the MD
• When you press DISPLAY while recording, the
remaining recordable time on the MD appears.
• When you press DISPLAY repeatedly while the deck
is stopped, the display changes as follows: total
recorded time, remaining recordable time on the
MD, disc name (see page 19).
When "TOC" 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 POWER.
