(page 32).
• Premastered MDs cannot be recorded over.
For models supplied with the AC plug
adaptor
If the AC power adaptor does not fit the wall
outlet, use the AC plug adaptor.
Notes
• If the power supply is disrupted (i.e. the
battery is removed or becomes exhausted or
the AC power adaptor is disconnected) during
a recording or editing operation, or while
“Edit” appears in the display, then it will not
be possible to open the lid until power is
restored.
• You can make a digital recording only from an
optical type output.
• When recording from a portable CD player,
set the CD player to pause, and then do the
recording procedure on the recorder.
• Note the following when recording from a
portable CD player:
—Some portable CD players may not be
capable of digital out unless powered by the
AC power.
—Connect the AC power adaptor to the
portable CD player and use it on AC power
as the power source.
—Disable any anti-skip function (such as
ESP
*
) on the portable CD player.

Various ways of recording
Two ways of connecting to a sound source
The input jack of this recorder works as both digital and analog input jacks. Connect the
recorder to a CD player or a cassette recorder using either digital (optical) input or analog
(line) input. To record, see “Recording an MD right away!” (page 10) to record using
digital (optical) input, and “Recording with analog input (line cable required)” (page 16) to
record using analog (line) input.
Difference between digital (optical) and analog (line) inputs
Note
Track marks may be copied incorrectly:
• when you record from some CD players or multi disc players using digital (optical) input.
• when the source is in shuffle or program play mode while recording using digital (optical) input. In
this case, play the source in normal play mode.
• when recording BS or CS programs through digital (optical) input.

The sound will sent from the connected
equipment as analog signal but will be
recorded digitally on the disc.
1 Insert a recordable MD and start
recording.
For recording operations, see
“Recording an MD right away!”
(page 10). To record from a portable
CD player, set the CD player to pause
and then start recording.
LINE IN (OPTICAL) jack is for both
digital and analog input
The recorder automatically recognizes the type
of line cable and switches to digital or analog
input.
Note
A track mark is added at the point where you
press X again to resume recording while
pausing recording; thus the track will be
counted as a new track.
Recording for long
times
Select each recording mode according to
the recording time that you want.
Stereo recording is possible at 2 times
(LP2) or 4 times (LP4) the normal
recording time.
MDs recorded in monaural, LP2 or
LP4 mode can be played back only
on MD players or recorders with
monaural, LP2 or LP4 playback
mode.

• Audio components that support the LP2 or
LP4 modes are indicated by the or
logo marks.
• Once you set, the recorder keeps its recording
mode when you record the next time.
• You can achieve high sound quality and rich
tones when recording in normal stereo (or
monaural) thanks to the newly developed DSP
TYPE-R for ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform
Acoustic Coding).
What is the newly developed DSP
TYPE-R for ATRAC?
“TYPE-R” is a high-level Sony specification
used in the Digital Signal Processor (DSP),
which is heart of the MiniDisc sound. This
technology gives the MiniDisc recorder twice
the signal processing capability as previous
MiniDisc Walkman models, producing a
sound quality close to that of MiniDisc decks.
Notes
• You cannot change the recording mode while
recording.
• It is recommended that you use the AC power
adaptor for long recordings.
• If you try to play an MD recorded in LP2
stereo or LP4 stereo on a player/recorder that
is not support these modes, playback will not
start and “LP:” will appear on the display.
• Sound recorded through digital (optical) input
can be monitored in stereo through
headphones/earphones, etc.
• When you record in LP4 stereo mode,
momentary noise may be produced on very
rare occasions with certain sound sources.
This is because of the special digital audio
compression technology that enables a
recording time 4 times longer than normal. If
noise is produced, it is recommended that you
record in normal stereo or LP2 stereo mode to
obtain better sound quality.

(Synchro-recording)
You can easily make digital recordings of
a digital source on an MD.
Before synchro-recording, make
connections to the digital source with a
digital cable, and insert a recordable MD.

• You cannot pause manually during synchro-
recording.
• When there is no sound from the player for
more than 3 seconds during synchro-
recording, the recorder goes into the standby
mode automatically. When the sound comes
from the player again, the recorder resumes
synchro-recording. If the recorder is kept in
the standby mode for 5 minutes or longer, the
recorder stops automatically.
• For longer recording, follow steps 1 to 3 of
“Recording for long times” (page 16) to select
the recording mode, and then start the
procedure of synchro-recording.
Notes
• Do not change the “SYNC-R” setting while
recording. Recording may not be done
properly.
• Even when there is no recorded sound on the
sound source, there may be cases when
recording does not pause automatically during
synchro-recording due to the noise level
emitted from the sound source.
• If a silent portion is encountered for 2 seconds
or more during synchro-recording, a new track
mark is automatically added at the point
where the silent portion ends.
• Synchro-recording cannot be done if the
connecting cord is not an optical cable.

Using Auto Time Stamp to add
track marks while recording
When the elapsed recording time
exceeds the time interval for Auto
Time Stamp:
From that point the recorder adds a track
mark whenever the time interval has
elapsed.
Example: 8 minutes of recording has
already been done when an Auto Time
Stamp time interval of 5 minutes is set.
A track mark will be added at the 13-
minute point (after the start of recording)
and after each 5-minute interval
thereafter.
When the time interval set for Auto
Time Stamp exceeds the elapsed
recording time:
The recorder adds a track mark when the
set Auto Time Stamp time interval has
elapsed.
Example: 3 minutes of recording has
already been done when an Auto Time
Stamp time interval of 5 minutes is set
A track mark will be added at the 5-
minute point (after the start of recording)
and after each 5-minute interval
thereafter.
Notes
• Automatic track marking by Auto Time Stamp
starts when you add a normal track mark to
the disc (i.e., by pressing T MARK or X,
etc.).
• The setting will be lost when the recording
stopped.
