Before Recording
To protect a MiniDisc against accidental
erasure
ICaution I
Changes to an MD made through recording or editing are finalized
only when you update the TOC by ejecting the MD or changing the
recorder to standby by pressing the power switch (TOC flashes at
this time).
Prior to this, you should never pull out the power cord or turn off
the switched outlet of an amplifier to which the MD recorder is
connected since this will prevent the updating of the TOC and thus
the changes will be lost.
Input monitor function
This procedure allows you monitor a selected signal source
prior to recording by outputting the signal to the recorder's
analog and digital output jacks.
When the INPUT selector switch is set to ANALOG
An analog input signal is output to the DIGITAL OUT jack
after A/D conversion, and to the LINE OUT jacks after
further D/A conversion.
When the INPUT selector switch is set to DIGITAL
A digital input signal is output to the DIGITAL OUT jack,
and to the LINE OUT and PHONES jacks after further D/A
conversion.
