How to use the REC INPUT key
Tips for recording from a CD
When the input selection is CD and recording is started,
digital recording is selected automatically and adjustment of the recording level is not required.
When the playback level of a digitally recorded MD is not
suitable (too loud or too low), the recording level can be
adjusted by using the REC INPUT key to switch to analog
recording, and then recording can be repeated with adjustment to the most suitable level.
When recording is started according to the following procedure, recording (MD) and playback (CD) will start at the same
time and there is no worry of sound being skipped.

How to use the AUTO/MANU. Key
Application section
This selects whether the track numbers are set automatically during analog recording or manually during or after recording.
The track numbers are used at the time of playback to find the start of tracks, for programming, etc.
AUTO
MANUAL
When a part without sound continues for 2 sec. or more during
recording, the track number is automatically increased by “1”
when the next sound enters. Use this mode for normal recording
such as recording of all tracks of a CD. When music, such a classical music, continues with low sound, the track number may be
increased by “1”. The erroneously set track number can be erased
later.
In case of such music, use MANUAL for recording.
Recording is executed without automatically increasing the track
number. Track numbers can be set during and after recording.
This is convenient for recording of live performances or classical
music with continuous sound at extremely low levels.
Select before the start of recording

Notes
1. At the time of recording from a CD, the track number may be incremented when CD playback starts. This occurs because of a signal included
‰
in the digital signal from the CD. Delete unwanted track numbers under reference to “TRACK ERASE or ALL ERASE”.
2. When a track is extremely short, the track number may not be incremented correctly in AUTO mode.

Experiencing SRS 3D stereo (Sound Retrieval System)
The Sound Retrieval System is an epochal system which produces a three-dimensional sound space by applying the most
suitable processing to the sound signal on the basis of the human listening mechanism. This permits real depth and sound
location, considered as difficult to realize with conventional 2-channel stereo (general stereo). A sufficient effect can be
obtained for any source (CD, MD, broadcasts, etc.). Recording with applied SRS 3D stereo also is possible.

Beware of condensation
When water vapor comes into contact with the surface of a cold
material, condensation is produced.
If condensation occurs, correct operation may not be possible, or
the unit may not function correctly.
This is not a malfunction, however, and the unit should be dried-out.
(To do this, turn the ON/STANDBY key ON and leave the unit as it is
for several hours.)
Be especially careful in the following conditions:
÷ When the unit is brought from a cold place to a warm place, and
there is a large temperature difference.
÷ When a heater starts operating.
÷ When the unit is brought from an air-conditioned place to a place of
high temperature with high humidity.
÷ When there is a large difference between the internal temperature
of the unit and the ambient temperature, or in conditions where
condensation occurs easily.

MD system
The Mini Disc system has the features as summarized in the following.
1
2
3
4
5
Like CD (Compact Disc), playback can be started from any position. (Random access)
It uses a disc with a diameter of 64 mm that is accommodated in a cartridge.
Two types of discs can be used.
Up to 74 minutes of recording or playback is possible using high-efficiency coding technology.
Countermeasure against vibration is taken using semiconductor memory chip.
Two Mini Disc types
There are two types of Mini Disc, the one designed exclusively for
playback and the other which is both recordable and playable.
Recordable Mini Disc
This type of MD can be used only for playback, and is used by the
commercially-available music MD software packages. The playback-only
MD is an optical disc like the Compact Disc (CD). The signals are recorded
as the presence or absence of small pits and read out by an optical, noncontact pickup.
This MD is a magneto-optical disc which can be recorded by magnetic
field modulation. To record signals, laser light is irradiated from the
bottom side of the magneto-optical disc and magnetic field is applied
from the upper side of it.
Sound-skip prevention memory
During normal
playback
Sensitivity of ears
Lowest and highest
frequencies are not
audible unless the
sound has a certain
level of volume.
The sound data for
several seconds is always stored during
playback.

Knowledge sections
A small sound is not
audible to human ears
if it is produced at the
same time as a large
sound. (Masking effect)
Mini Disc
Application section
Sound does not affect the sensitivity
of ears
During playback, this unit always stores signals in memory temporarily
to prevent sound from being skipped in case of vibration. As a result,
even when the data from the optical pickup is interrupted due to
vibration, etc., the music will not be interrupted because the memory
holds the data for several seconds.
Several sec. of data
The Mini Disc has only a half the size of the Compact Disc but provides
the same recording time. This is made possible by ATRAC*, a newly
developed high-efficiency coding technology.
* ATRAC: Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding
The ATRAC compresses the music data to about 1/5 the amount of data
which would be obtained with conventional technology, by cutting off
the sound components which do not pose problem in audition even
when they are not present. This has made it possible to record or play up
to 74 minutes.

Symptoms related to MD standard
Symptom
Cause
“DISC FULL” is displayed while the disc still has a remaining recordable time.
÷ More than 255 tracks (track No. 256 or more) cannot be recorded. (There
may be also cases in which recording is impossible while the track
number is less than 256.)
In such a case, the REMAIN time display shows “0:00”.
The possible recording time does not increase even when a short
track is erased.
÷ When the remaining time of the entire disc is less than 12 sec, the
remaining time indication on the display becomes “0:00”. When the
total time of the deleted tracks exceeds 12 sec, the display changes to
the recordable time.
÷ When a short track is deleted on a repeatedly edited disc, the remaining
time may not increase.
Tracks can not be connected.
÷ Connection of the track resulting from edit processing may not be
possible.
The time which has been recorded on the MD and the remaining
time do not add up to the maximum recording time (60 or 74 min.).
÷ As recording is executed with 2 sec. as the minimum unit, the display
time may not coincide.
When search is performed in a track which has been compiled by
editing, the sound is sometimes interrupted.
÷ This derives from the restriction in the MD system standard and not a
malfunction.
The track numbers are not assigned correctly.
÷ Depending on the contents of the recorded source (CD etc.), the track
numbers may not be assigned correctly.
÷ The track number may be increased in case of dirt or scratches on the CD.
“DISC READING” is displayed for an abnormally long time.
÷ When a new recordable MD (with nothing recorded) is inserted,
“DISC READING” is displayed longer than usual.
The time display becomes inaccurate with a monaurally recorded
disc.
÷ Monaural recording and stereo recording are executed according to
different formats. This is not a malfunction.
Input of 1792 title characters is not possible.
÷ The title recording area is used in units of 7 characters, so that input of
1792 characters may not be possible.

*1 All minidiscs contain a Table of Contents (TOC) in addition to sound
signals. The TOC is similar to the table of contents in a book and
contains information, such as track numbers, track length, and character information, that cannot be rewritten.
*2 In addition to the TOC, minidiscs also contain a special User’s Table of
Contents (UTOC) that contains track number, track length, and character information, that can be rewritten.
At the time of unit OFF (STANDBY), or when the power plug is
pulled from the outlet, the memory contents will remain stored
for about one day. In case of long power failures or long times
with the plug pulled from the receptacle, the information in
regard to recording or editing (recorded when the minidisc is
removed) may be erased or destroyed) before recording on
the minidisc. Once the information has disappeared, it can not
be recovered.
After recording or editing, always remove the minidisc to record
the recording or editing information.
