The MD Deck — Recording
Starting recording with
6 seconds of prestored
audio data
— Time Machine Recording
When recording from an FM or satellite broadcast,
the first few seconds of material are often lost due
to the time it takes you to ascertain the contents
and press the record button. To prevent the loss of
this material, the Time Machine Recording feature
constantly stores the most recent audio data in a
buffer memory. This lets you record the sound
from 6 seconds (12 seconds for monaural
recording) before starting recording, as shown in
the illustration below:

When recording from this system’s CD
player, the track numbers are automatically
marked. Press MD REC z during recording
to mark the track numbers at the desired
point. If you want to mark track numbers
automatically during recording from the
radio, see “Marking track numbers” on
page 37.
To stop recording
Press MD x.
Before pulling out the power
cord
MD recording is completed when the MD Table
of Contents (TOC) is updated. The TOC is
updated when you eject the MD or press ?/1 to
turn off the system. Do not pull out the power cord
before updating the TOC (while “TOC” is lit) or
while updating the TOC (while “TOC” or
“STANDBY” is flashing) to ensure a complete
recording.
Tips
• You can adjust the recording level to the desired
volume (see page 41).
• You can check the remaining recordable time on the
MD during recording by pressing DISPLAY on the
remote.
Note
If you pause recording during CD recording, a track
number is assigned at that point. Also, note that only
one track number might be assigned when the same
single track of the same CD is recorded repeatedly.
