Various ways of recording
Before recording
Selecting the operation mode
This recorder has two operation modes,
“Hi-MD mode” and “MD mode”. The
operation mode is automatically
recognized whenever the disc is inserted.
After you insert a disc, check the
operation mode on the display window of
the recorder.
When you insert a standard disc (blank)
into the recorder, you can use the Disc
Mode function to specify use of the disc
in Hi-MD mode or MD mode.
If you want to use the disc recorded on
this unit on another component that does
not support Hi-MD, record the disc with
“Disc Mode” in the menu set to “MD”.
Refer to “Selecting the disc mode (Disc
Mode)” (page 58) for details.
Selecting the Menu Mode
If the “Simple” menu mode is selected,
some menu items will not be displayed. If
you cannot find certain menu items while
operating the recorder, make sure that the
menu mode is set to “Advanced”.
For details on selecting the menu mode,
see “Changing the displayed menu items
(Menu Mode)” (page 56).
•When you record on a 1GB Hi-MD disc,
connect the AC power adaptor to the recorder,
charge the rechargeable battery fully (battery
level indication shows ), or use a new
alkaline dry battery (battery level indication
shows ). When you attempt to start
recording on a 1GB Hi-MD disc,
“NotENOUGH POWER TO REC” may
appear and recording cannot be done even if
the battery level indication shows sufficient
remaining power while the recorder is stopped
or playing. This is because of a mechanism
that disables recording when the remaining
battery power is estimated by the recorder to
be insufficient due to the high power
consumption required for 1GB Hi-MD disc
recording.
•Recording may not occur if the dedicated
USB cable is connected to the recorder. Make
sure to disconnect the dedicated USB cable
before recording.
•If you start recording when the disc indication
is still rotating in the display, the first few
seconds of the material will not be recorded.
Make sure that the disc indication has stopped
rotating before you start recording.
•Do not move or jog the recorder or disconnect
the power source while recording or
“SYSTEM FILE WRITING” is flashing in the
display. If you do, the data recorded up to that
point may not be recorded to the disc, or data
on the disc may be damaged. “SYSTEM FILE
WRITING” flashes while data of the
recording (the track’s start and end points,
etc.) is being recorded.
“Hi-MD” lights up when the operation
mode is Hi-MD and “MD” lights up when
the operation mode is MD.
