MD – Recording

Before you start recording

MDs (MiniDisc) let you digitally record and
play music with high quality sound. Another
feature of MDs is track marking. The track
marking feature lets you quickly locate a
specific point or easily edit the recorded tracks.
However, depending on the source you record,
the recording method and the way the track
numbers are recorded differ.
When the source you record from
is:
• CDs loaded in this system's DVD
player
– The MD deck performs digital recording.*
However, the MD deck performs analog
recording in manual recording.
– Track numbers are automatically marked as
on the original CD. However, track numbers
are not marked depending on the track
(page 94).
• DVDs, VIDEO CDs or MP3 discs
loaded in this system's DVD
player
– The MD deck performs analog recording.
– A track number is marked at the beginning of
a recording only, but when you turn on the
Level Synchro Recording Function (page 44),
track numbers are automatically marked on
sync with the level of the input signal.
• Super Audio CDs
– This unit cannot record the HD layer of Super
Audio CDs. However, it can record the CD
layer of a Super Audio CD just as if it were a
normal CD.
– Analog recording is possible if you connect
an external device to TAPE OUT jacks on this
unit (see page 79).
• Other digital components
connected to the DIGITAL
OPTICAL IN jack
– The MD deck performs digital recording.*
– Track numbers are marked differently
depending on the source you record.
• This system's tuner or other
analog components connected to
the TAPE IN jacks
– The MD deck performs analog recording.
– A track number is marked at the beginning of
a recording only, but when you turn on the
Level Synchro Recording Function (page 44),
track numbers are automatically marked in
sync with the level of the input signal.
• A personal computer
– Only tracks that have been checked out using
the Net MD function can be recorded from a
personal computer. For details, see the PDF
file "SonicStage for Net MD" included on the
supplied CD-ROM.
When you use a partially
recorded MD
You cannot record while overwriting the
recorded tracks.
Recording starts after the recorded tracks.
If you want to erase the recorded tracks, erase
the tracks using Erase Function (page 54).
Note on MD track numbers
On an MD, the track numbers (track sequence),
track start and end point information, etc., are
recorded in the TOC** area independent of the
sound information. You can edit recorded tracks
quickly by modifying the TOC information.
