Recording to MD
Track-marking
The MD recorder provides both automatic and manual
methods for the track number-marking.
●
Automatic (default setting)
When making a recording, the track-marking is made
automatically.
●
Manual
To make the track-marking manually, press M-MARK on
the remote control repeatedly until “MANUAL” (
8
) is
illuminated.
When recording analog signals (from tapes, radio
programs, etc.)
Automatic:
Track numbers are written in synchronization with the input
level of the signal being recorded. During recording, if no
sound is detected for more than 1.5 seconds, the recorder
interprets this to be a gap between two tracks. When the
source signal is detected again, a track number is
automatically written.
Manual:
One track number is written automatically when you start
recording, but none are written during recording. To mark a
track number, press M-MARK at the desired position while
recording.
Note
When using the manual method, the marks must be set at
least 4 seconds apart.
When recording digital signals (from CDs, etc.)
Track numbers are written in the same positions as the
original source (CDs, etc.) with either automatic or manual
track-marking method.
To add additional track numbers, select the manual
track-marking method and press M-MARK at the desired
position while recording.
Monaural recording
Recording in monaural (mono) allows you to record up to 148
minutes of sound on one 74 minute MD. This may be useful
when recording a long interview, debate, or other long time
sources on one disc.
1
Select the proper input mode by pressing INPUT MODE.
When recording a CD source or the source connected
to the DIGITAL IN terminal on the rear of the main unit.
Select the Digital Mono mode so that “DIGITAL MONO”
(
7
) lights up on the display.
When recording other sources
Select the Analog Mono mode so that “MONO” (
7
) lights
up on the display.

Follow the procedure of “Basic recording” on page 30.

Notes about TOC
TOC (Table of Contents) is the non-audio data contained on
all minidiscs (track numbers, play time, title data, etc.)
When you make recording onto an MD, the TOC data is
automatically renewed.
When the message “TOC Reading” or “TOC Writing”, etc. is
shown on the display, it means that the MD recorder is
reading the TOC data on an MD, or recording TOC data onto
an MD. During this period, do not make an operation on the
MD recorder, do not disconnect the power cord of this
system, or do not shake this system to prevent a
misoperation of the MD recorder.
