Before You Start Recording - JVC CA-MXS6MDR Instructions Manual

Before You Start Recording

• It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the
copyright owner.
• The sampling frequency rate converter built in the MD recorder allows you to record a digital source if its sampling
frequency is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz. If no source equipment is connected to the DIGITAL IN terminal or if
the sampling frequency of the connected equipment is not 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz, "DIGITAL IN UNLOCK"
appears in the main display (no recording is possible).
• You cannot record the Dolby Digital, DTS Digital Surround, or MPEG Multichannel signals entirely through the
DIGITAL IN terminal.
• When you record onto partially recorded MD, its contents are not erased or overwritten. The recording starts from
the point following the last recorded track of the MD.
If you want to record on such an MD from the beginning, you have to erase its contents first (see "ALL ERASE
Function" on page 46).
• When an MD is fully recorded, recording will stops automatically.
• The recording level is automatically set correctly (except when recording from the equipment connected to the
LINE 1 and LINE 2 jacks), so it is not affected by the VOLUME control. Thus, during recording you can adjust the
sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.
• While recording, you can hear sound mode effect and/or the Active Bass Extension effect through the speakers or
headphones. However, the sound is recorded without these effects (see pages 12 and 13).
About the track marks
When playing an MD, you can move among the tracks.
You can do this because there is a mark recorded at the
beginning of each track enabling you to locate the track.
This mark is called a "track mark" and the portion
between two adjacent track marks is called a "track."
• When recording from an analog source such as
FM/AM broadcasts, no track mark is recorded on
the MD. This means that, when playing this MD, the
MD recorder will regard the entire recording as one
track (track 1). You will not be able to select directly
a song or navigate through songs.
However, if there is a blank of 3 seconds or more, the
MD recorder will consider it as a blank separating 2
tracks and consequently put a track mark.
To put a track mark manually while recording an
analog source, press SET on the unit at the place you
want to put a track mark.
EX. When pressing SET while recording
an FM broadcast program
To add a track mark after recording is over, you can
use the DIVIDE function (see page 43).
To avoid erasing important recordings
The recordable MD has an erasure prevention tab so
that important recordings are not accidentally erased.
When you finish recording or editing, slide to open the
erasure prevention tab on the cartridge side surface.
New recording or editing is now no longer possible. (If
you try to do, "DISC PROTECTED" appears in the
main display.)
To do re-recording or editing, return the tab to the
closed position.
