Recording on
MDs

This chapter explains the various
ways to record to 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 switch

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.
