Tips
• If noise is heard while recording an AM radio
programme, move the AM loop aerial to reduce the
noise or connect a ground wire to the U terminal
(see page 51).
• If you select "MONO" in step 4, the MD is
recorded in monaural format. For details, see
"Monaural recording" on page 33.

Before pulling out the mains lead
MD recording is completed when the MD Table
of Contents (TOC) is updated. The TOC is
updated when you eject the MD or press ?/1 to
turn off the system. Do not pull out the mains lead
before updating the TOC (while "TOC" is lit) or
while updating the TOC (while "TOC" is flashing)
to ensure a complete recording.
Note
If the MD is record protected, "C11" and "Protected"
appear alternately and the MD cannot be recorded.
Remove the MD, then slide the record protection tab
to the closed position (see page 24).
