About the DSP TYPE-R for ATRAC
“TYPE-R” is a high-level Sony specification
used in the Digital Signal Processor (DSP),
which is the heart of the MiniDisc sound. This
technology gives the MiniDisc recorder twice
the signal processing capability as previous
MiniDisc Walkman models. MDs recorded
with this specification, “TYPE-R”, produce
near-MiniDisc deck-quality sound on MD
players that support the specification. Even on
MD players that do not support the
specification, it produces higher quality sound
than MDs recorded on ordinary MD players.
This function works only when recording or
playing in normal stereo. “TYPE-R” does not
work when the recorder is in MDLP mode.
Notes
• The pause function cannot be turned on or off
manually during synchro-recording. Press
x
to stop recording.
• Do not switch the “SYNC REC” setting while
recording. Recording may not be done
properly.
• Even when there is no recorded sound on the
sound source, there may be cases when
recording does not pause automatically during
synchro-recording due to the noise level
emitted from the sound source.
• If a silent portion is encountered for
approximately 2 seconds during synchro-
recording from a sound source other than a
CD or an MD, a new track mark is
automatically added at the point where the
silent portion ends.
• Synchro-recording cannot be done if the
connecting cord is not an optical cable, or if
the cable is connected to the MIC (PLUG IN
POWER) jack.
• You cannot change the recording mode during
recording.
• “Data Save” or “TOC Edit” flashes while data
of the recording (the track’s start and end
points, etc.) is being recorded. Do not move or
jog the recorder or disconnect the power
source while the indication is flashing in the
display.
• The lid does not open until “TOC Edit”
disappears in the display.
• If the power supply is disrupted (i.e. the
battery is removed or becomes exhausted or
the AC power adaptor is disconnected) during
a recording or editing operation, or while
“TOC Edit” appears in the display, then it will
not be possible to open the lid until power is
restored.
• You can make a digital recording only from an
optical type output.
• When recording from a portable CD player,
set the CD player to pause, and then do the
recording procedure on the recorder.
• Note the following when recording from a
portable CD player:
—Some portable CD players may not be
capable of digital out unless powered by the
AC power. If this is the case, connect the
AC power adaptor to the portable CD player
and use it on AC power as the power source.
—On some portable CD players, optical
output may not be possible when using an
anti-skip function (e.g., ESP* or G-
PROTECTION). If this is the case, turn off
the anti-skip function.
* Electronic Shock Protection
2)
A new track mark is added at the point when
you press
X again to resume recording while
pausing; thus the remainder of the track will be
counted as a new track.
3)
If you open the lid while “REC-Posi” is set to
“From End”, recording will begin from the top
of the disc the next time you record. Check the
point to start recording on the display.
