26 Basic operation Turning on the MD4S 1. Plug the power cable into an AC outlet. 2. Press the POWER switch located on the rear panel of the MD4S. When the power is turned on, the display will light. To turn off the MD4S, press the POWER switch again. Inserting a disc Make sure that the write protect slider of the disc is in the write permit position. 1. With the arrow printed on the disc pointing away from yourself, slide the disc gently into the disc compartment. The disc will be pulled in automatically. If not, check that the arrow is pointing the correct direction. When a disc is inserted into the MD4S, the TOC will be read to see what the disc contains. If the disc is new, the display will indicate "Blank Disc." If songs have already been recorded on the disc, the disc title will appear for several seconds, and then the number of songs on the disc (e.g., "Total 004") will appear. Recording the first track (Direct Recording) On the MD4S, the signals that are input to the MIC/LINE INPUT jacks 1-4 can be recorded directly to tracks 1-4 (direct recording). Since you simply need to connect the audio source to MIC/ LINE INPUT jack 1 if you wish to record on track 1, or to MIC/LINE INPUT jack 3 if you wish to record on track 3, this method is convenient when you will be recording each part separately. In this example, we will explain how to record your first audio source on track 1.
