RECORDING

Before recording

MDs (Mini Disc) let you digitally record and play music
with high quality sound. Another feature of MDs is track
marking. The track marking feature lets you quickly
locate a specific point or easily edit the recorded
tracks. However, depending on the source you record
from, the recording method and the way the track
numbers are recorded differs.
Notes on digital recording
• When recording from a digital source (such as CD,
DAT, etc.), the unit converts the digital signals to
44.1 kHz for recording onto the MD.
The unit can record 32, 44.1, and 48 kHz digital
signals.
• When recording from an analog source (such as
cassette tape, tuner, etc.), the unit converts the
analog signals to a 44.1 kHz digital signal.
When the source you record from is:
• CRX-M5's CD player
– You can record from CD to MD with the CD
synchronized recording function (see page 14).
– The digital signal from the CD is recorded as it is.
– Track numbers are automatically marked as on the
original CD.
• Other digital components
– Track numbers are automatically marked as it is
when you turn on the Auto track marking function
(see page 14).
• CRX-M5's tuner or other analog components
– The analog signal is converted to a digital signal
and recorded.
– Track numbers are automatically marked when you
turn on the Auto track marking function (see page
14) in sync with the level of the input signal.

Notes about TOC
• On an MD, the track number (track sequence), playback
times, title data, etc., are recorded in the TOC area
independent of the sound information. You can edit
recorded tracks quickly by modifying the TOC information.
• Recording on an MD is completed when the TOC writing is
finished. Normally, the TOC information is written
automatically, but you can set it manually by setting REC
END WRITING function to OFF (page 16). TOC writing
starts when you do any of the following operations.
– Eject the MD.
– Press STANDBY/ON.
– In this case, if you pull out the AC power cord before TOC
writing is finished, the recorded contents will not be
memorized on the MD.
• TOC writing may be impossible (or Auto track number
marking may not perform as expected) when recording a
damaged CD or a broadcast source under interference.
