RECORDING
This unit allows you to make recordings from a wide variety
of program sources (both analog and digital).
1 Insert an MD.
Label facing up
When recording an analog source (such as an LP or
cassette) this unit converts the analog signals to a
44.1 kHz digital signal before recording them onto the MD.
When recording a digital source, this unit converts the
digital signals to 44.1 kHz for recording onto the MD.
However, if you are recording a 44.1 kHz source signal
(such as a CD) there is no conversion. This unit can record
32, 44.1 and 48 kHz digital signals.

to record pause mode.
Setting the digital volume level
The REC * indicators light up.
“REC Standby” and the amount of time available for recording
flash alternately in the display.
The volume level of digital audio sources is often similar,
however, level differences may be quite obvious between
different digital audio formats and even between one
recording and another. To maintain a consistent volume
level in MD recordings, it is possible to change the volume
of the input digital signal.
If you selected a track number or paused playback (in step
3) to record over a previous recording
“OverWrite OK?” appears in the display.
To confirm, press ENTER. This operation will erase the
selected track number (or point) and all subsequent material.
To cancel, press CANCEL (or &).
To select the digital signal to be recorded or monitored,
press INPUT repeatedly until the appropriate digital input
indicator (DIGITAL OPT. 1 or DIGITAL OPT. 2) appears in
the display. During record or record pause mode, turning
DIGITAL REC LEVEL adjusts the volume of the digital
signal. The digital volume can be adjusted up to +12 dB
and down to a minimum (MIN) level from the default volume
of 0 dB, the level of the input digital signal. To set the
volume level, play the digital source to be recorded and
adjust DIGITAL REC LEVEL so that highest peak causes
the 0 dB level indicators to flicker. The OVER indicators
should not light.
Adjust the recording level corresponding to the audio
input you selected in step 2. Refer to "Adjusting
Recording Levels" on this page for more details.
Note
When recording from a digital source that has a digital output
(volume) control, set the output level (volume) to “MAX”.
Recording may not be possible at low output levels (when the
digital volume is turned down).

If recording is stopped, the digital recording level is
restored to the default volume of 0 dB.
Notes
To stop
• When DIGITAL REC LEVEL is turned, the digital volume level
is adjusted in 0.5 dB steps between +12 dB and –20 dB, 1 dB
steps from –20 dB to –30 dB, 2 dB steps from –30 dB to –40
dB, followed by –44 dB, –48 dB, –54 dB, –62 dB and MIN.
• Although some sources can be recorded with lower peak
levels, setting the peak levels too low may degrade the quality
of the recording.
Press & (STOP & on the remote).
To pause
Press #/* (PAUSE * on the remote).
Press again to resume recording.
• The digital volume cannot be adjusted while a track title is
being entered.
To eject the MD
Press ) EJECT.
Setting the analog recording level
Press INPUT repeatedly until the ANALOG indicator
appears in the display, and press REC (REC ‡ on the
remote) to put this unit in the record pause or monitor out
mode. For best results, play the loudest passage of the
source to be recorded and watch the recording level meter
in the display. Adjust ANALOG REC LEVEL so that the
highest peak causes the 0 dB level indicators to flicker.
The OVER indicators should not light.
If the power to this unit is turned off while making a
recording, the TOC data cannot be correctly written to
the disc and the recorded data will be erased.
TOC writing may be impossible (or track number
marking may not perform as expected) when recording
a damaged CD or a broadcast source with
interference.

Auto Marking
TIME RESCUE RECORDING
When making a recording, you can choose either
automatic or manual marking. This feature operates
somewhat differently for analog and digital signals. See
below for details.
The Time Rescue (TIME) recording function allows you to
start recording six seconds before you press record.
During record pause mode, the MD recorder monitors the
input signal and continuously maintains a six second
memory “cache”. Therefore, you can record a song that
just started without cutting off the beginning. You may find
this function useful when recording live broadcasts, or
when you want to start recording from the beginning of a
song without recording lots of commercials (etc.).
Press M-MARK on the remote repeatedly to select
automatic (MANUAL indicator out) or manual
(MANUAL indicator lit) marking.

SYNCHRO RECORDING
MONAURAL RECORDING
The synchronized recording function lets you set this unit
to start recording automatically when a sound signal is
input. When operating this unit in combination with a
remote controllable Yamaha CD player, you can use the
CD-P button on this unit’s remote control to start playback
from the CD player.
Recording in monaural (mono) allows you to record up to

assigned to the section starting after point B.
• Point B cannot be positioned before point A.

COMBINE
DIVIDE
This function lets you combine two consecutive tracks into
one. After you combine the tracks, the total number of
tracks decreases by one and the tracks following the
combined tracks are renumbered.
This function lets you divide one track into two separate
tracks by adding a new track number to a certain point in
the track. If you add a track number at the beginning of a
section you want to hear, you can access it quickly by
using the skip function during playback. After you divide a
track, the total number of tracks increases by one and the
tracks following the divided tracks are renumbered.

FRA CHECK
Disc Maintenance
When edit functions such as “MOVE” and “DIVIDE” are
performed, spaces of recordable space may be lost and
“TOC Full” may appear in the display to indicate that no
more recording can be performed. When this occurs, it
may be possible to recover the FRA (Freely Recordable
Area) on the disc that was lost during edit functions so that
more recording is possible.
This unit features two disc maintenance functions which
optimize performance of your MD discs. The TOC WRITE
function allows you to write any edits to the TOC without
having to eject the disc. The FRA CHECK function recovers
recordable space on a disc that may have been lost
because of multiple edit operations. The diagram below
applies to the procedures for both TOC WRITE and FRA
CHECK functions.

TIMER OPERATIONS
With a commercially available audio timer, it is possible to make recordings and initiate playback automatically at any time.
Make sure that all power cord connections between the timer and amplifier/receiver are properly made.
For details, refer to the instructions of your audio timer. No change in any of the other connections between the recorder and
amplifier/receiver, etc., is necessary.

PLAY
• Playback always starts from the beginning of the MD.
• Set TIMER to OFF when not using the timer play function. If
the power is turned on (by pressing POWER, plugging in the
power cord, etc.) when TIMER is set to PLAY, the MD
recorder will start to play and may cause a sudden output at
high volume.
When the preset time arrives, the timer turns on the
components (amplifier/receiver, tuner and MD
recorder) and the MD recorder starts to record. When
the stop time arrives, the timer stops the recording by
turning off the components.
Notes
• When recording to a blank MD, recording starts from the
beginning. When recording to a previously recorded MD,
recording starts from the end of the last track.
• Set TIMER to OFF when not using the timer recording
function. If the power is turned on (by pressing POWER,
plugging in the power cord, etc.) when TIMER is set to REC,
the MD recorder will start recording automatically.

MD SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
The recording system in your MD recorder is radically

dropout during search operations.
different from those used in cassette and DAT decks and is
characterized by the limitations described below. Note,
however, that these limitations are inherent to the MD
recording system and are not a result of mechanical
trouble.
Track numbers are not recorded correctly
Incorrect assignment or recording of track numbers may
result when CD tracks are divided into several smaller
tracks during digital recording.
“Can’t REC” is displayed before the maximum
recording time (60 or 74 minutes) has been reached
It is not possible to erase part of a track using the A-B
ERASE function
Once 255 tracks have been recorded on one MD, “Can’t
REC” is displayed regardless of the total recorded time.
More than 255 tracks cannot be recorded on one MD. To
continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks, combine
tracks to reduce the total number of tracks, or use another
recordable MD.
This unit organizes the audio data in sound groups and
clusters. The minimum size of these units varies according
to the number of channels being recorded. For a 2 channel
(stereo) recording, a single unit may not consist of less
than 10 seconds of sound. For one channel (mono)
recording, a single unit may not consist of less than 20
seconds of sound.
“Disc Full” is displayed before the maximum number of
tracks (255) have been recorded
During automatic track marking, fluctuations in emphasis
within songs may be interpreted as song intervals,
increasing the total number of tracks and causing “Disc
Full” to be displayed.
Limitations when recording over an existing track
• The correct remaining recording time may not be
displayed.
• You may find it impossible to record over a track if that
track has been recorded over several times already. If
this happens, erase the track using the ERASE function.
• The remaining recording time may be shortened out of
proportion to the total recorded time.
• Recording over a track to eliminate noise is not
recommended since this may shorten the duration of the
track.
The remaining recording time does not increase even
after erasing numerous short tracks
Tracks under 12 seconds in length are not counted and so
erasing them may not lead to an increase in the recording
time.
• You may find it impossible to label a track while
recording over another track.
“TOC Reading” is displayed continuously
The “TOC Reading” display lasts longer than normal when
a brand new (blank) disc is inserted.
The correct recorded/playing time may not be displayed
during playback of MDs recorded in monaural.
The total recorded time and the remaining time on the
MD do not total to the maximum recording time
• Recording is done in minimum units of 2 seconds each,
no matter how short the material. The contents recorded
may thus be shorter than the maximum recording
capacity. Disc space may also be further reduced by
scratches.
• This unit displays the length of the largest continuous
blank area as the remaining time. Therefore, if there are
several separate blank spaces, the remaining time will
only display a time equivalent to the largest continuous
blank space.
If there is a 1 minute blank space and a 2 minute blank
space, the remaining time display will be “2” minutes. If
you then record 1 minute and 30 seconds of the 2 minute
blank, the remaining time display will become “1” minute.

NOTES REGARDING THE
REMOTE CONTROL
COPY PROTECTION (SCMS)
As a digital audio component, this MD recorder conforms
with the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS)
standards. The Serial Copy Management System restricts
copies made by recording digital signals to first-generation
copies only. Therefore, an MD recorded through a digital
input cannot be used as a source for making another
digital recording.
Remote Control Operation Range
However, subsequent recordings can be made from the
first-generation copy by using the analog input/output
jacks.
6 m
There are three general rules that apply to this unit.
30°
30°
Rule 1
You can record from digital program sources (CDs, DATs
or pre-mastered MDs) onto a DAT tape or recordable MD
via the digital input jack on a DAT or MD recorder. You
cannot, however, record from this recorded DAT tape or
MD to another DAT tape or recordable MD via a digital
input jack.
Notes
• There should be no large obstacles between the remote
control and the remote sensor on the main unit.
• Strong light (especially from an inverter type fluorescent lamp)
shining directly on the remote sensor may prevent proper
operation. In such cases, reposition the main unit to avoid
direct light.
Rule 2
You can record a digital signal input from a digital satellite
broadcast onto a DAT tape or recordable MD via the digital
input jack on the DAT or MD recorder. (This unit is
equipped with a sampling rate converter that allows you to
make digital recordings from 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz
digital program sources).
Battery Installation
If the broadcast does not contain a copyright protection
code, you can then record the contents of this recorded
DAT tape or MD (first-generation) onto another DAT tape or
recordable MD via a digital input jack on the DAT or MD
recorder to create a second generation digital copy (these
copies may also be copied digitally). Note, however, that if
the broadcast contains a copy protection code, second-
generation digital copying will not be possible.
Rule 3
You can record a DAT tape or MD recorded via the DAT or
MD recorder’s analog input jack onto another DAT tape or
MD via the DAT or MD recorder’s digital output jack. You
cannot, however, make a second-generation DAT tape or
MD copy via the DAT or MD recorder’s digital output jack.
Battery replacement
When you notice a decrease in the operating range of the
remote control, replace both batteries with new ones.
Notes
• Use only AA, R6, UM-3 batteries for replacement.
• Be sure to insert the batteries with correct polarity (as
illustrated on the battery compartment).
• Remove the batteries if the remote control will not be used for
an extended period of time.
• If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching
the leaking material or letting it come into contact with
clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly
before installing new batteries.

To clean the cabinet
Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild detergent solution.
Care of MDs
• Do not expose the MD to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight
as there can be a considerable rise in temperature inside the car.
• Periodically remove dust and debris from the cartridge surface by wiping it with a dry cloth.
• Because the MD itself is housed in a cartridge, you can handle it normally without being concerned about dirt or
fingerprints. However, malfunctioning may result if the cartridge itself is dirty or warped.
Do not open the shutter on the MD cartridge
Trying to force the shutter open will damage the shutter.
