Recording an MD right away!

(Synchro-recording)

This section explains the basic procedure for making digital

recordings using an optical cable connected to a CD player, Digital

TV or other digital equipment. (For further information, see “System

limitations” (page 54)) During synchro-recording, the recorder starts

and stops recording in sync with the sound source. Track marks are

added wherever they appear in the sound source. It is recommended to

use the AC power adaptor when recording.

To record from an analog source such as a cassette deck or a radio t “Recording in analog

(Analog Recording)” (page 27).

To record using group mode t “Recording tracks using the group function (Group Mode

Recording)” (page 29).

About the DSP TYPE-R for ATRAC

“TYPE-R” is a high-level Sony specification

used in the Digital Signal Processor (DSP),

which is the heart of the MiniDisc sound. This

technology gives the MiniDisc recorder twice

the signal processing capability as previous

MiniDisc Walkman models, producing a sound

quality close to that of MiniDisc decks. This

unit supports the “TYPE-R” function only

during recording or playback in normal stereo

(or monaural) mode. It does not support this

function in MDLP mode, or during the

checking out of audio data from the computer

in normal stereo (or monaural) mode using

OpenMG Jukebox.

Notes

• The pause function cannot be turned on or off

manually during synchro-recording. Press x

to stop recording.

• Do not change SYNC-R setting while

recording. Recording may not be done

properly.

• Even when there is no recorded sound on the

sound source, there may be cases when

recording does not pause automatically during

synchro-recording due to the noise level

emitted from the sound source.

• If a silent portion is encountered for

approximately 2 seconds during synchro-

recording from a sound source other than a

CD or an MD, a new track mark is

automatically added at the point where the

silent portion ends.

• You cannot change the recording mode during

recording.

• “Saving” or “Edit” flashes while data of the

recording (the track’s start and end points,

etc.) is being recorded. Do not move the

recorder or disconnect the power source while

the indication is flashing in the display.

• The lid does not open until “Edit” disappears

in the display.

• If the power supply is disrupted (i.e. the

battery is removed or becomes exhausted or

the AC power adaptor is disconnected) during

a recording or editing operation, or while

“Edit” appears in the display, then it will not

be possible to open the lid until power is

restored.

• You can make a digital recording only from an

optical type output.

• When recording from a portable CD player,

set the CD player to pause, and then do the

recording procedure on the recorder.

• 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.

—On some portable CD players, optical

output may not be possible when using an

anti-skip function (e.g., ESP* or G-

PROTECTION). If this is the case, turn off

the anti-skip function.

∗ Electronic Shock Protection

z

• When there is no sound from the player for

more than 3 seconds during synchro-

recording, the recorder goes into the standby

mode automatically. When the sound comes

from the player again, the recorder resumes

synchro-recording. If the recorder is kept in

the standby mode for 5 minutes or longer, the

recorder stops automatically.

1)

If “R-Posi” is set to “Fr End”, recording operations will always start from the end of the previously

recorded material without pressing END SEARCH button (page 31).

2)

A track mark is added at the point where you press X again to resume recording while pausing; thus

the remainder of the track will be counted as a new track.

3)

If you open the lid while “R-Posi” is set to “FrHere”, recording will begin from the top of the disc the

next time you record. Check the point to start recording on the display.
