Notes on recording
Before recording
• You cannot select a playlist as the recording
destination.
• You cannot record over an existing track. If
you select an album with existing tracks as
the recording destination, the system
automatically starts recording from the end of
the existing tracks.
After recording
The HD play mode automatically switches to
Normal Play.
Automatic conversion of digital
sampling rates
A built-in sampling rate converter
automatically converts the sampling frequency
of various digital sources to the 44.1 kHz
sampling rate of the system. This allows you to
monitor and record sources such as 32- or
48-kHz DAT tape or satellite broadcasts, as
well as the CDs and HD.
Maximum number of recordable
tracks
Total number of the tracks recorded on the HD
cannot exceeds 20,000, not counting the tracks
in playlists.
If “Track Full!” appears in the display
when you select the recording
destination
The album already contains 400 tracks, the
maximum number of tracks that can be
recorded to a single album. Select another
album.
If “Drive Full!” appears in the display
while recording to the HD
Further recording is impossible because there is
not enough recordable space on the HD or the
maximum number of recordable tracks has
been attained on the HD. Erase any
unnecessary albums or tracks to continue
recording to the HD.
Guide to the Serial Copy
Management System
Digital audio components, such as CDs, MDs, HDs
and DATs let you copy music easily with high quality
by processing music as a digital signal.
To protect the copyrighted music programs, this
system uses the Serial Copy Management System that
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.
That is:
1 You can make a copy of a commercially
available digital sound program (for example,
a CD or MD), but you cannot make a second
copy from the first-generation copy.
2 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 cannot make a
second copy.
* A first-generation copy means a digital recording of
a digital signal made on digital audio equipment.
For example, if you record from this system’s CD
player to the HD recorder, you make a first-
generation copy.
