■ Note about making digital copies
MiniDiscs are designed so that further copies cannot be made
from digitally recorded MiniDisc tracks. This is a specification
of the SCMS (Serial Copy Management System).
■ How to select the inputs
Press the INPUT SELECT button to select the input from
which you want to record.
● Each time the button is pressed, the active input will
be changed.
About the recording level
■ When making a digital recording:
The recording level is automatically set the same as the
level of the original.
It is not necessary to adjust the recording level.
■ When recording from analog inputs:
Before recording, adjust this unit’s recording level. (Page
17)
● When this unit is connected to the headphone jack
of some other equipment, the playback level of the
other equipment should also be adjusted.
● When this unit is connected to line jacks on the other
equipment, it is not necessary to adjust the playback
level of the other equipment. (The playback volume
of the other equipment will not have any effect on
the recording.)
Recordings cannot be made in the following
situations.
● If you try recording on a playback-only MiniDisc
(commercially available music)
● If a MiniDisc is protected against accidental erasure
(Page 34)
● If there is no more recording time left on the disc
(Page 17)
● When the “TOC FULL” message appears (Page 37)
● If a disc’s TOC has been damaged
● If you are trying to copy a digital signal that has
been encoded with the SCMS signal (Serial Copy
Management System)
Note:
● When recording important selections, be sure to make a
preliminary test to ensure that the desired material is being
properly recorded.
