Recording to an MD
Checking the contents of recording
•
When recording is completed the first recorded track number
flashes. Press the
®
PLAY button to start playing the track.
•
To play from the beginning of the MD immediately after
recording is stopped, press the
■
STOP button again. Then,
press the
®
PLAY button (or the
®
button on the remote con-
troller) to start playback.
Storage period for backup data
The recorded contents will be backed-up inside the MD-2321 even
if the MD recorder’s power cord is accidentally unplugged or if a
power failure occurs before (when
is lit) or while (when
is flashing) the contents are being stored to disc. You can
restore data that was backed up during such an accident or power
failure by pressing the STANDBY/ON button after plugging in the
power cord or immediately after the power failure is solved. Note,
however, that the MD-2321 can maintain data in the backup mem-
ory for approximately an hour. We recommend that after a power
failure, you perform the above procedure immediately after the
power is restored.
If the power continues to be down for one hour or more, recorded
contents may be lost.
Protecting recordings from accidental erasure
You can prevent your MDs from being recorded. Slide the record-
protect tab on an MD to open the slot. To make the MDs recordable
again, slide back the record-protect tab to close the slot.
You can use a commercially available audio timer for record-
ing and playing.
1. Load an MD.
•
If the disc contains recorded material, new data will be
recorded following the existing tracks.
2. Set the TIMER switch on the MD-2321 to “REC” for
recording or “PLAY” for playback.
•
Set the audio timer approximately one minute earlier than
actual recording start time. The MD recorder may require
some time to write and read the TOC information after it
is activated by the timer.
•
Refer to the accompanying instruction manual for infor-
mation on how to set your audio timer.
3. Plug in the AC power cord of the MD-2321 to the
audio timer.
•
If the MD becomes full during recording, recording stops
immediately and the MD recorder enters STAND-BY
mode.
Note:
After using the audio timer for recording, be sure to ener-
gize the MD recorder (by plugging in its AC power cord
to a wall outlet or the UNSWITCHED outlet of another
system component) for two or three days. If the MD
recorder is not energized sufficiently after the audio timer
recording, the recorded materials may be lost.
