MD recording and the Serial Copy Management System
Since the MD recorder uses the SCMS (Serial Copy Management
System), MDs recorded through the digital input jack cannot be
used to make copies onto other MDs (see page 48).
If “Protected" appears in the display window
The disc is record-protected. Close the slot to record on the disc (see
"To protect a MiniDisc against accidental erasure" on [>age 24).
When "TOC" flashes in the display window
Do not jog the recorder or pull out the power cord.
When recording from digital sound sources
The recorder automatically records track numbers in the same
sequence as the sound source (i.e., based on changes in the sampling
frequency of the input signal).
When dubbing from another MO
The recorder automatically records track numbers in the same
sequence as the source disc. However, if a track is recorded more
than once (i.e., due to repeated playback during program play or
single-track repeat play), the same track number is recorded each
time.
Note also that the recorder caimot create tracks of less than 4
seconds in length.
When you're digitally recording a disc from a SONY
portable MO player (or perhaps other devices), press ■
(on this unit) before stopping the MO player.
If you stop playing the MD player or disconnect the optical cable
from the DIGITAL IN of this unit before pressing ■, the MiniDisc
will not play when ► is pressed immediately after recording.
If you stop playing the MD player before you press ■, please
reinsert the recorded disc. Stopping play of the disc will not effect
the recorded contents of the disc.
