Before You Start Recording - Sony DHC-EX77MD Manual De Instrucciones

Before you start
recording
MDs (MiniDisc) let you digitally record and
play back music with high quality sound that
compares with the sound of CDs. Another
feature of MDs is track marking. The track
marking feature lets you quickly locate a
specific point or easily edit the recorded
tracks. However, depending on the source
you record, the recording method varies.
Also, the way the track numbers are recorded
differs depending on the source.
When the source you record from
is:
• This system's CD player
– The digital signal from the CD is recorded
as it is (digital recording*).
– Track numbers are automatically marked
as on the original CD.
• Other digital components
(e.g., a DAT deck)
– When you set MODE SELECTOR on the
rear panel of the amplifier to DIGITAL
REC, the digital signal from the connected
component is recorded as it is (digital
recording*).
– When you set MODE SELECTOR on the
rear panel of the amplifier to ANALOG
REC, the digital signal is converted to an
analog signal once, then re-converted to a
digital signal and recorded (analog
recording).
– A track number is marked at the beginning
of a recording, but when you turn on the
Level Sync function (see page 43), track
numbers are automatically marked in sync
with the level of the input signal.
* For details on limitations of digital recording, see
page 68.
• This system's tuner, other analog
components or a microphone
(e.g., a tape deck)
– The analog signal is converted to a digital
signal and recorded (analog recording).
– A track number is marked at the beginning
of a recording, but when you turn on the
Level Sync function (see page 43), track
numbers are automatically marked in sync
with the level of the input signal*.
* Track numbers may not be marked correctly if the
sound source is noisy.
Note on the track number of an MD
On an MD, the track number (track sequence), track
start and end point information, etc., are recorded in
the TOC* area independent of the sound
information. You can edit recorded tracks quickly
by modifying the TOC information.
* TOC: Table Of Contents
Note on recording on an MD
The MD recording is complete only after all the
recording information is entered to TOC at which
point TOC stops flashing and goes out. Be careful
not to disconnect the mains lead or move the deck
before this point. Before disconnecting the mains
lead, do the following:
– Remove the MD.
– Press SYSTEM POWER, to turn off the system.
