Recording on MDs
Recording on
MDs
This chapter explains the various
ways to record on an MD, as well as
how to mark track numbers and
perform synchro-recording with other
components.
Notes on Recording
About indications which appear while
recording
When “Protected” and “C11” alternate in the
display
The record-protect slot is open and the MD is record-
protected. To record on the MD, slide the tab to close the
slot. For details, see “To prevent accidental erasure of the
recorded material” on page 15.
When “Din Unlock” and “C71” alternate in the
display
The digital component selected with the INPUT button
is not connected correctly. Check the connection.
The selected digital component is not turned on. Turn
on the component.
When “Cannot Copy” appears in the display
The MD deck uses the Serial Copy Management System.
MDs recorded through the digital input connector can’t be
copied to other MDs or DAT tapes through the digital
output connector. For details, see “Guide to the Serial
Copy Management System” on page 14.
When “TRACK” flashes in the display
The MD deck is recording over existing track(s)
(“Recording on an MD” on page 14). The indication stops
flashing when the deck reaches the end of the recorded
portion.
About indications which appear after
recording
When “TOC” lights up in the display
Recording has finished but the TOC (Table of Contents)
on the MD has not been updated to reflect the recording
results. The recording will be lost if you disconnect the
AC power cord while the indication is on. The TOC will
be updated only when you eject the MD or turn off the
MD deck.
When “TOC Writing” flashes in the display
The deck is updating the TOC. Do not disconnect the AC
power cord or move the deck while the indication flashes.
14
GB
Recording on MDs
Automatic conversion of digital sampling
rates during recording
A built-in sampling rate converter automatically converts
the sampling frequency of various digital sources to the
44.1 kHz sampling rate of the MD deck. This allows you
to monitor and record sources such as 32- or 48-kHz DAT
tapes or satellite broadcasts, as well as the CDs and MDs.
Please note that 22.05- or 96-kHz digital sources can’t be
recorded on this deck.
Guide to the Serial Copy Management
System
Digital audio components, such as CDs, MDs, and DATs
make it easy to produce high-quality copies of music by
processing music as a digital signal.
To protect copyrighted music sources, this deck uses the
Serial Copy Management System which allows you to
make only a single copy of a digitally recorded source
through digital-to-digital connections.
You can make only a first-generation copy
*
through a digital-to-digital connection.
Examples are given as follows:
You can make a copy of a commercially available digital
sound program (for example, a CD or MD), but you
can’t make a second copy from the first-generation
copy.
You can make a copy of a digital signal from a digitally
recorded analog sound program (for example, an
analog record or a music cassette tape) or from a digital
satellite broadcast program, but you can’t make a
second copy from the first-generation copy.
*
A first-generation copy means the first recording of a digital audio
source through the deck’s digital input connector. For example, if you
record from a CD player connected to the DIGITAL (OPTICAL) IN1
connector, that copy is a first-generation copy.
Note
The restrictions of the Serial Copy Management System don’t
apply when you make a recording through the analog-to-analog
connections.

The deck can be set to automatically erase any blanks that
are produced when the signal is interrupted during
recording. The function which activates (Smart Space or
Auto Cut) depends on the length of the interruption, as
described below.
Smart Space
If the signal is interrupted for less than 30 seconds, Smart
Space replaces the blank portion with a blank space of
about three seconds, then continues the recording. “Smart
Space” appears in the display during this time.
Auto Cut
If the signal is interrupted for about 30 seconds, Auto Cut
replaces the blank portion with a blank space of about
three seconds, then pauses the recording. “Auto Cut”
appears in the display during this time.
Do the procedure below to turn Smart Space and Auto
Cut on or off.

Additional information on Automatic Track Marking
When recording from a CD player or MD deck connected to the
DIGITAL (OPTICAL) IN1/2 connector, the entire material may
be recorded as a single track in the following cases:
— When you consecutively record the same track two or more
times using single-track repeat play.
— When you consecutively record two or more tracks with the
same track number but from different CDs or MDs.
— When you record tracks from certain CD or multi-disc
players.
Also, if the source is an MD, a track number may not be
marked for tracks less than four seconds long.
When recording from a component connected to the LINE
(ANALOG) IN jacks with “T.Mark Off” selected or when
recording from a DAT deck or DBS tuner connected to the
DIGITAL (OPTICAL) IN1/2 connector, the entire material may
be recorded as a single track.
When recording from a DAT deck or DBS tuner connected to
the DIGITAL (OPTICAL) IN1/2 connector, the deck will mark a
track number whenever the sampling frequency of the input
signal changes, regardless of the track marking parameter
setting (“T.Mark LSync” or “ T.Mark Off”).
z
You can mark track numbers even after recording has
finished
See “Dividing Tracks” on page 32.
Note
If you turn off the deck or disconnect the AC power cord, the
deck will store the last settings (“T.Mark LSync” or “ T.Mark Off”
and the trigger level) and apply them the next time you turn on
the deck.
Marking Track Numbers
While Recording (Track Marking)
You can mark track numbers either manually or
automatically while recording. By marking track
numbers at specific points, you can quickly locate the
points later or edit the MD easily.

Starting Recording With Six
Seconds of Prestored Audio
Data (Time Machine Recording)
Whenever the deck is in recording pause, the deck’s
buffer memory continuously stores the latest six seconds
worth of audio data. When you press T.REC, the
recording then starts with the data in the buffer memory.
Time Machine Recording thus allows you to avoid
missing the beginning of material recorded live from an
FM or satellite broadcast.

Press x.
Note
The storage of data in the buffer memory starts from the moment
the deck changes to recording pause. Thus, if you start recording
less than six seconds after changing to recording pause, less than
six seconds worth of data will be recorded from the buffer
memory. The same is true if the program source had been
playing for less than six seconds at the time you start recording.

Synchro-recording With a
Sony CD Player
(CD Synchro-recording)
When the deck is connected to a Sony CD player or Hi-Fi
component system, you can easily copy the contents of
CDs to the MD using the deck’s remote. As the same
remote operates both the MD deck and the CD player or
CD player section of the component system, make sure to
place the MD deck and the CD player as close together as
possible.
Note
On some CD players and Hi-Fi component systems, you may
find it impossible to perform CD Synchro-recording using the
deck’s remote. In this case, use Music Synchro-recording (page
19) to record from CDs to the MD.
