Synchro-recording With a
Sony CD Player
(CD Synchro-recording)
Z
When the deck is connected to a Sony CD player or Hi-Fi
component system, you can easily copy the contents of
CDs to the MD using the deck’s remote. As the same
remote operates both the MD deck and the CD player or
CD player section of the component system, make sure to
place the MD deck and the CD player as close together as
possible.
Note
On some CD players and Hi-Fi component systems, you may
find it impossible to perform CD Synchro-recording using the
deck’s remote. In this case, use Music Synchro-recording (this
page) to record from CDs to the MD.
