Sony MDCC-2000 Operating Instructions - Page 13

This unit can record continuously by using two decks, deck A and deck B, alternately. Recording Continuously Using Both Decks - Continuous Recording Check and make sure that the recording operation is not 2 malfunctioning prior to recording important materials. 1 A recorded disc A blank disc only A blank disc Notes • On this unit the new recording starts after the previously recorded data. You cannot overwrite onto the previously recorded data. • For continuous recording, always use blank discs except for the first one. You can only use a recorded disc when you insert the first disc to start continuous recording. • When not continuous recording, insert a disc into either deck and start recording. • When you start recording, a new index mark is created at the beginning. You can add up to 200 index marks (or less than 200 depending on the recording status of the disc). If a recorded disc has 200 index marks, the new recording cannot be carried out even if the disc has some unrecorded space left. There is an overlap of a few seconds when the deck switch over, which means you can record indefinitely without any pause. START STOP Deck A Deck B Overlapped recording period Here are the steps when carrying out continuous recording from deck A to deck B. You can also perform continuous recording successively from deck B to deck A. 1 Insert MiniDiscs into decks A and B. Be sure to insert a blank disc into deck B. Recording will not begin if you put a previously recorded disc, commercially available prerecorded disc or protected disc into deck B. 2 Press zREC of deck A. The lamp on the REC button lights up, and Deck A starts recording. A few seconds before deck A finishes recording Deck B starts recording automatically. Once deck A has finished recording, the recorded disc inside is automatically ejected. To stop recording Press xSTOP and zREC simultaneously. For continuous recording of three or more discs successively Replace the MiniDisc in one deck with a blank disc while recording with the other deck. Endless recording can be done in this way.
