ENGLISH
Thank you for selecting this YAMAHA mini disc recorder.
CONTENTS FEATURES
¶ A sampling rate converter that lets you make
digital recordings from 32 kHz (DAT, etc.) , 44.1
kHz (CD, DAT, MD, etc.) and 48 kHz (DAT, etc.)
program sources.
¶ Editing features (MOVE, ERASE, DIVIDE,
COMBINE, TITLE, and UNDO) that let you take
full advantage of the MD recording system.
¶ Multiple digital INPUT terminals (2 optical inputs
and 1 coaxial input) let you connect up to three
different digital program sources.
¶ The digital optical OUTPUT terminal lets you
output digital audio from an MD.*
¶ In addition to the standard disc and track repeat
modes, this unit also has a part (A-B) repeat
mode that lets you repeat a specific part of a
track.
¶ Synchro Record lets you make synchronized
recordings from any type of source component.
¶ Time Rescue Record monitors the sound being
input and allows you to recover sound input from
a point approximately four seconds before you
start the recording operation. (So you will not
miss the beginning of a song when recording
directly from the radio, etc.)
¶ The Monaural Record mode lets you record up to
148 minutes of audio onto one MD.
¶ Timer playback and recording modes that let you
start playback or recording at a preset time using
an optional audio timer.
* This is not possible if MD is a direct copy of another digital
signal (see page 24 for details regarding SCMS copy
protection).
