MD — Recording
Before you start recording
MDs (Mini Disc) let you digitally record and
play music with high quality sound. Another
feature of MDs is track marking. The track
marking feature lets you quickly locate a
specific point or easily edit the recorded tracks.
However, depending on the source you record,
the recording method and the way the track
numbers are recorded differ.
When the source you record from is:
• This system’s CD player
– The MD deck performs digital recording.* 1
– Track numbers are automatically marked as
on the original CD. However, track numbers
may not be marked for some tracks (see page
56).
• Other digital components
connected to the DIGITAL OPTICAL
IN jack
– The MD deck performs digital recording.* 1
– Track numbers are marked differently
depending on the source you record.
• This system’s tuner and other
components connected to the TAPE
IN jack
– The MD deck performs analog recording.
– A track number is marked at the beginning
of a recording, but when you turn on the
Level-Synchro Recording function (see page
24), track numbers are automatically marked
in sync with the level of the input signal.
* 1 For details on the limitations of digital recording,
see page 56.
