Recordings can not be made in the
following situations:
● Recording on a playback-only
MiniDisc (commercially available
music).
● If a MiniDisc is protected against ac-
cidental erasure. (page 10)
About the recording level:
● If the recording level is too low, the
playback sound volume may be too
low to hear well. If it is too high, the
playback sound may be greatly dis-
torted. Since digitally recorded CDs
have a large dynamic range (the vol-
ume can vary tremendously from very
soft to extremely loud), do not set the
recording level any higher than is
necessary.
Precautions when recording:
● Do not jar or bump the main unit whilst
recording. Otherwise, the recording
may be unusable.
● Depending on the strength and type
of playback signal in the original re-
cording, the new recording may not
begin or pause at the correct point
when in the synchro mode. If this hap-
pens, try making a manual recording.
Precautions when inserting a
MiniDisc:
● To insert a MiniDisc, push on the
middle of the edge of the disc whilst
holding it parallel to the main unit.
● If any resistance is felt, do not try to
force the MiniDisc into the unit. It may
additional more problems. If resis-
tance is felt, remove the MiniDisc and
try reloading it.
