Notes on Recording

If "Protected" appears in the display
The MD is record-protected. Close the slot to record on the disc (see "To protect an MD against accidental erasure" on page 10).

If 'Din Unlock' flashes in the display

• The digital program source is not connected as you set with INPUT in Step 4 on page 9.
• To continue, connect the program source properly. The program source is not on. Turn on the program source.

Depending on source being recorded, track numbers are marked in following ways:

• When recording from a CD or MD with INPUT set to digital input and the source connected through the respective digital input connector:
  The deck automatically marks track numbers in the same sequence as the original. If, however, a track is repeated two or more times (e.g. by single-track repeat play) or two or more tracks with the same track number (e.g. from different MDs or CDs) are played, the track or tracks are recorded as part of a single, continuous track with a single track number.
  If the source is an MD, track numbers may not be marked for tracks of less than 4 seconds.
• When recording from source connected through LINE (ANALOG) IN with INPUT at ANALOG, and "LEVEL-SYNC" does not light up (see "Marking Track Numbers while Recording" on page 15) or when recording from DAT or satellite broadcasts connected through a digital input cable with INPUT set to digital input:
  The source will be recorded as a single track. You can divide the track afterwards using the Divide Function (see "Dividing Recorded Tracks" on page 28) or mark track numbers during recording by using the Track Marking Function on page 15.
  If "LEVEL-SYNC" appears in the display, the deck automatically marks track numbers when recording analog source or digital recording of DAT or satellite broadcasts (see "Marking track numbers automatically" on page 15).
• When recording from DAT or satellite broadcasts with INPUT set to digital input, the deck automatically marks a track number whenever the sampling frequency of the input signal changes.

When 'TOC' flashes in the display
The deck is currently updating the Table Of Contents (TOC). Do not move the deck or pull out the AC power cord. Changes to an MD made through recording are saved only when you update the TOC by ejecting the MD or changing the deck to standby by pressing POWER.

The MD deck uses the SCMS (Serial Copy Management System on page 37)
MDs recorded through digital input connector cannot be copied onto other MDs or DAT tapes through the digital output connector.

When recording digital signals that have been emphasized (in the higher frequencies)
The signal is automatically de-emphasized (with attenuation proportional to the degree of emphasis) and the level of the de-emphasized signal is indicated on the peak level meters.

When the deck is recording or in recording pause, digital signals input through DIGITAL OPTICAL IN1, IN2 or DIGITAL COAXIAL IN are output to DIGITAL OPTICAL OUT with the same sampling rate.
To change the digital input signal to another sampling rate for output (without recording it to an MD), use Input Monitor Function (see page 13).

Useful Tips for Recording

Checking the remaining recordable time on the MD

• When you press DISPLAY while recording, the remaining recordable time on the MD appears.
• When you press DISPLAY repeatedly while the deck is stopped, the display changes as follows: total recorded time, remaining recordable time on the MD, disc name (see page 19).

Monitoring the input signal (input Monitor)

1. Press: EJECT to remove the MD.
2. Set INPUT according to the input signal you want to monitor.

   When INPUT is at ANALOG
   The analog signal input through LINE (ANALOG) IN is output to DIGITAL OPTICAL OUT after A/D conversion, and then to the LINE (ANALOG) OUT connectors and PHONES jack after D/A conversion.

   When INPUT is at digital input
   The digital signal input through DIGITAL OPTICAL IN1, IN2 or DIGITAL COAXIAL IN is output to DIGITAL OPTICAL OUT after passing through the sampling rate converter, and then to the LINE (ANALOG) OUT connectors and PHONES jack after D/A conversion.Depending on the input signal, one of the DIGITAL INPUT indicators (32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz) lights up.

   Note
   Even if you set REC MODE to MONO, the monitor signal does not become monaural.

3. Press REC.
   If INPUT is at ANALOG, "AD~DA" appears in the display.
   If INPUT is at digital input, "-DA"appears in the display.

If "Auto Cut' '' appears in the display (Auto Cut)

You can turn off the Auto Cut Function
For details, see 'If "Smart Space" appears in the display".

If "Smart Space" appears in the display (Smart Space)

To turn off the Smart Space Function and Auto Cut Function

1. During recording pause, press EDIT/NO repeatedly until "S. Space ?" appears in the display.
2. Press YES.
3. Press EDIT/NO to display "S. Space OFF."

1. During recording pause, press EDIT/NO repeatedly until "S. Space ?" appears in the display.
2. Press YES twice to display "S. Space ON".

Playing back tracks just recorded

Press immediately after stopping recording.
Playback starts from the first track of the material just recorded.

To play from the first track of the MD after recording

1. Press again after stopping recording.
   
2. Press .
   Playback starts from the first track of the MD.
