Notes on recording/Recording for long times

Recording to MDs

Notes on recording

When “Tr” flashes in the display

during

recording

The MD deck is recording over existing track(s) (see

“Recording to an MD” on page 14). The indication stops

flashing when the deck reaches the end of the recorded

portion.

When “TOC” lights up in the display after

recording

Recording has finished but the TOC (Table of Contents)

on the MD has not been updated to reflect the recording

results. The recording will be lost if you disconnect the

AC power cord while the indication is on. The TOC will

be updated only when you eject the MD or turn off the

MD deck.

When “TOC Writing” flashes in the display after

recording

The deck is updating the TOC. Do not disconnect the AC

power cord or move the deck while the indication flashes.

A built-in sampling rate converter automatically converts

the sampling frequency of various digital sources to the

44.1 kHz sampling rate of the MD deck. This allows you

to monitor and record sources such as 32- or 48-kHz DAT

tape or satellite broadcasts, as well as the CDs and MDs.

Recording for long times

In addition to normal stereo recording, this deck has two

long time recording modes: LP2 and LP4. When

recording in LP2 Stereo mode, you can record 2 times the

normal recordable time, and in LP4 Stereo mode, you can

record 4 times the normal recordable time. In addition, the

recordable time for monaural recording is approximately

double the stereo recording time.

Note

MDs recorded in MD LP (LP2 or LP4 Stereo) mode cannot be

played back on a deck that does not support MD LP mode. In

addition, you cannot perform S.F Edit for MDs recorded in MD

LP mode.
