Basic Operations Notes • You cannot record over existing material. The system automatically starts recording from the end of the exisiting material. • Make sure that the remaining recordable time on the MD is longer than the playing time of the CD, especially if you want to record all the tracks on the CD. • You cannot pause recording. • If the play mode is set to Repeat Play or Shuffle Play, it automatically switches to normal play at step 5. • The recording level specified in the Setup Menu (page 23) is not applied. The initial reference level (0.0 dB) is used instead. • When recording in LP2 or LP4 Stereo mode, recording takes approximately twice as long as normal high-speed recording. • The Auto Cut Function does not work. • With the following kinds of CDs, you may experience a reading failure or noise when recorded to an MD: - CDs with adhesive labels attached to them - Irregularly shaped CDs (for example, heart- or starshaped) - CDs with printed text concentrated on one side only - Old CDs - Scratched CDs - Dirty CDs - Warped CDs If "-Retry-" flashes in the display after you press · or P in Step 6 A reading failure has occurred, and the deck is trying to read the data again. • If the retry was successful, the deck continues with High-Speed CD-MD Synchro-Recording. • If the condition of the inserted CD or the deck is poor, and retry fails, High- Speed CD-MD Synchro-Recording is disabled. In this case, the indicator on the CD SYNCHRO NORMAL button flashes and the deck automaticaly starts recording in normal CD-MD Synchro-Recording. Note that monitoring of the recorded signal is not possible when this occurs. Do not disconnect the deck from the power source immediately after recording If you do, recorded material may not be saved to the MD. To save the material, after recording, press § EJECT to take out the MD or turn off the deck. "TOC Writing" will flash at this time. After "TOC Writing" goes out, you can 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 turning off the deck.
