Use this to check how many hours the spindle motor
has been in operation.

3.12.2Laser pickup time
R _ T I M E >
This indicates how many hours the laser pickup has
been used for recording.

This allows you to check the current system software
version.
3.13Auto track numbering level
R
A _ T R K
This allows the setting of the threshold above which
a signal received at the AES/EBU jack or either of
the analog connectors triggers the start of a new track
(see 4.3.4, "Track number incrementing"). This value
can be off, or one of nine values, as detailed below.
There should be a period of relative silence (i.e.
below the trigger level) of at least three seconds
between "tracks" in the source material for this func-
tion to operate.
Bear in mind that some classical material,
spoken word, etc. may include such periods
of silence, and this may cause spurious track
divisions. Also, some analog material may be
noisy, and the noise may go above the track
division threshold. Adjust the threshold level
taking these factors into consideration.
After the menu has been opened with the SHUTTLE
wheel, the display changes:
A _ T R K >
The available settings are: –24 dB, –30 dB, –36 dB,
–42 dB, –48 dB, –54 dB, –60 dB, –66 dB, –72 dB
and off. The default value is –54 dB.

3.14Copy ID
R
C O P Y
When recording an MD on the MD-801, the copy ID
of the recorded MD can be set for different purposes.
The three settings available are:
Free
• Copy Free—(
copies to be made from the digital recording made
on the MD-801
• First-generation copy only—(
only one digital copy to be made from the digital
recording produced on the MD-801
Proh
• Copy prohibit—(
digital copies can be made from the digital record-
ing produced on the MD-801.
After the menu has been opened with the SHUTTLE
wheel, the display changes:
C O P Y
The default setting is for free copying. The restric-
tions apply only to digital copies produced through
the COAXIAL port. The copy bit is ignored if the
recording is made when the disc is played back
through the AES/EBU connector.
3.15Post-script recording
R

R E C
As explained in 4.3.5, ""Post-Script" recording",
recording can start either from the beginning of the
disc (when this function is turned off), or from the
beginning of the free space available, i.e. after the
last recorded track (when this function is turned on).
This function also controls the operation of the
replace recording function (see 4.3.6, "Replace
recording").
After the menu has been opened with the SHUTTLE
wheel, the display changes:

The available options are on and off, with the default
