Additional Information
Notes on Recording
About indications which light
up or flash after recording
When the recording indicator
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 adaptor while
the indicator is on. The TOC will be updated only
when you eject the MD from the MD deck.
When the recording indicator
flashes in the display
The deck is updating the TOC. Do not disconnect
the AC power adaptor or move the deck while the
indicator flashes. The recording may not be
completed properly.
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.
Note
The restrictions of the Serial Copy Management
System don't apply when you make a recording
through the analog-to-analog connections.
To prevent accidental erasure of
the recorded material
To make it impossible to record on an MD, slide
the record-protect tab in the direction of the arrow
(see illustration below) to open the slot. To enable
recording, close the slot.
