Yamaha MDX-9 Owner's Manual - Page 3

ENGLISH Thank you for selecting this YAMAHA mini disc recorder. FEATURES ¶ A sampling rate converter that lets you make digital recordings from 32 kHz (DAT, etc.) , 44.1 kHz (CD, DAT, MD, etc.) and 48 kHz (DAT, etc.) program sources. ¶ Editing features (MOVE, ERASE, DIVIDE, COMBINE, TITLE, and UNDO) that let you take full advantage of the MD recording system. ¶ Multiple digital INPUT terminals (2 optical inputs and 1 coaxial input) let you connect up to three different digital program sources. ¶ The digital optical OUTPUT terminal lets you output digital audio from an MD.* ¶ In addition to the standard disc and track repeat modes, this unit also has a part (A-B) repeat mode that lets you repeat a specific part of a track. ¶ Synchro Record lets you make synchronized recordings from any type of source component. ¶ Time Rescue Record monitors the sound being input and allows you to recover sound input from a point approximately four seconds before you start the recording operation. (So you will not miss the beginning of a song when recording directly from the radio, etc.) ¶ The Monaural Record mode lets you record up to 148 minutes of audio onto one MD. ¶ Timer playback and recording modes that let you start playback or recording at a preset time using an optional audio timer. * This is not possible if MD is a direct copy of another digital signal (see page 24 for details regarding SCMS copy protection).
