• When recording from digital media, track
marks in the original are copied automatically
to the MD.
• Synchro-recording is useful for making digital
recordings. During synchro-recording, the
starting and stopping of recording is done
automatically and in sync with the source
material.
Notes
• You can make a digital recording with an
optical cable only from an optical type output.
• Note the following when recording from a
portable CD player.
—Some portable CD players may not be
capable of digital out when the AC power
adaptor is disconnected. If this is the case,
connect the AC power adaptor to the
portable CD player and use it on AC power
as the power source.
—Digital output may be disabled on some
portable CD players when the AC power
adaptor is not connected to the player.
—Turn off the anti-skip function (e.g., ESP*
or G-PROTECTION).
• A track mark is added at the point where you
press the X • PAUSE button again to resume
recording while pausing recording; thus the
remainder of the track will be counted as a
new track.
