when:
- The unit is moved from a cold spot to a warm spot
- The heating system has just been turned on
- The unit is used in a very humid room
- The unit is cooled by an air conditioner
When this unit has condensation inside, it may not function
normally. Should this occur, leave the unit for a few hours, then
try to operate again.
8 Wall or ceiling mounting -The unit should not be mounted on
a wall or ceiling, unless specified in the Operating Instructions.
Electric Power
1 Power sources - Connect this unit only to power sources
specified in the Operating Instructions, and as marked on the
unit.
2 Polarization - As a safety feature, some units are equipped
with polarized AC power plugs which can only be inserted one
way into a power outlet. If it is difficult or impossible to insert the
AC power plug into an outlet, turn the plug over and try again.
If it still does not easily insert into the outlet, please call a
qualified service technician to service or replace the outlet. To
avoid defeating the safety feature of the polarized plug, do not
force it into a power outlet.
3 AC power cord
- When disconnecting the AC power cord, pull it out by the AC
power plug. Do not pull the cord itself.
- Never handle the AC power plug with wet hands, as this could
result in fire or shock.
- Power cords should be routed to avoid being severely bent,
pinched, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to the cord
from the unit to the power socket.
- Avoid overloading AC power plugs and extension cords
beyond their capacity, as this could result in fire or shock.
4 Extension cord - To help prevent electric shock, do not use a
polarized AC power plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or
other outlet unless the polarized plug can be completely in
serted to prevent exposure of the blades of the plug.
5 When not in use - Unplug the AC power cord from the AC
outlet if the unit will not be used for several months or more.
When the cord is plugged in, a small amount of current
continues to flow to the unit, even when the power is turned off.

WHAT IS AN MD (MINI DISC)?
An MD is only 64 mm (2 % inches) in diameter, about half the
size of a conventional CD. But MD can be used to store and play
back a full 74 minutes of data such as a CD. Unlike a CD, MD
comes in a plastic cartridge, so that it can be handled with ease.
The cartridge also protects the disc inside from shocks, dust
and scratches. Unlike cassette tapes, which can become
stretched or tangled, an MD is an excellent durable media.
THE LIMITATIONS OF MD
Recording on the MD is performed differently from that of a
cassette tape or a DAT. Therefore, the MD system is subject to
the following restrictions.
"TOC* Full" is displayed even if the recording time
does not reach the maximum recordable time of the
disc (60-minute or 74-minute).
"TOC Full" is displayed when 254 tracks are already recorded
on a disc, without respect of the recording time.
TYPE OF MD
There are two types of MDs: "Optical discs" and "Magneto-optical
discs". Both types use laser beams and optical pick-up technology
to read recorded data during playback.
Optical discs
These are playback only discs. Like CDs, they are used as
prerecorded music discs. You cannot record on or edit them.
The shutter covers
the opening only on
the non-iabeled
side of the MD.
Recordable MO*^ discs
These are recordable discs which can be recorded on again and
again, like cassette tapes. The recording method called magneto
optical technology employs a laser and magnetism to record
signals. Therefore, the quality of recorded sound does not
deteriorate even after many playbacks and recordings.
The shutter covers
the opening on the
both sides of the MD.
*TOC: An abbreviation of Table Of Contents
"TOC Full" is displayed even if a disc is not fully
recorded on.
If there are lots of emphasis data in a particular track, the unit
handles the data as index codes, and tracks are counted, in
addition, without respect of the time and number of tracks.
The remaining time on a disc is not increased even after some short tracks have been erased.
When the remaining time on a disc is displayed, which may not
be increased even after erasing short tracks because the sections
less than eight seconds are not counted.
Certain tracks cannot be joined (the COMBINE function does not function).
• Tracks created by editing may not be joined.
• It is not possible to combine a track recorded in monaural and
a track recorded in stereo.
The total of the recorded time and the remaining time
on a disc does not match with the maximum
recordable time of the disc (60-minute or 74-minute).
Recording is performed by the minimum unit of one cluster (two
seconds). Even if the recorded section is shorter than two
seconds, a two-second space is needed in recording. Therefore,
fhe available time becomes shorter. If there are scratches on a
disc, the available time becomes shorter as well, because the
sections which are scratched are automatically erased.
MO: An abbreviation of Magneto Optical
Ultra compact size made possible by ATRAC*^
technology
A newly developed digital audio compression technology called
the ATRAC system automatically extracts only the frequencies
that are actually audible to the human ear and cuts the
frequencies which are inaudible. This compresses the amount
of dafa to be recorded to 1/5 of the normal amount. The ATRAC
system is based upon studies carried out in the field of auditory
psychology and does not impair the quality of the audible sound.
ATRAC: An abbreviation of Adaptive TRansform Acoustic
Coding
Quick random access
One of the great features of the MD is that you can search for
desired tracks quickly. There are also quick and easy functions
for random playback in which the order of the tracks can be
rearranged at random, and for renumbering tracks which enables
them to be played in any order.
1 4 ENGLISH
Track numbers may not be registered properly.
When recording from a CD through digital inputs (using the CD
► MD button), small tracks may be created depending on the
contents of a CD.
When using the AUTO MARK function, track numbers may not
be registered properly depending on the contents of the CD.
Digital inputs may not be acceptable.
When digital recording is attempted from recorded material with
copyrights, digital dubbing cannot be performed to a recordable
MD from another MD recorded in digital, because of the built-in
record restriction function which complies with the SCMS*
standard.
• SCMS (Serial Copy Management System) is the standard to
restrict single digital dubbing between the digital audio system
thus protecting copyrights.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Occasional care and maintenance of the unit and the software
are needed to optimize the performance of your unit.
To clean the cabinet
Use a soft and dry cloth.
If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly
moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use strong
solvents, such as alcohol, benzine or thinner as these could
damage the finish of the unit.
To clean the heads and tape paths
After every 10 hours of use, clean the heads and tape paths
with a head cleaning cassette or cotton swab moistened with
cleaning fluid or denatured alcohol. (These cleaning kits are
commercially available.)
When cleaning with a cotton swab, wipe the recording/playback
head, erasure head, capstans, and pinchrollers.
Care of tapes
• Store tapes in their cases after use.
• Do not leave tapes near magnets, motors, television sets, or
any source of magnetism. This will downgrade the sound quality
and cause noise.
• Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, or leave them in a car
parked in direct sunlight.
Care of MDs
Since MDs come in a cartridge which protects the discs inside
from fingerprints and dust, you do not have to be overly careful
when handling them. However, soiled or damaged cartridges
can lead to malfunctions in the unit. Observe the following tips
when handling MDs.
• Keep a cartridge in the attached case.
• Do not open the shutter of the cartridge to touch the disc directly.
If the disc inside becomes soiled, it is very difficult to clean.
The cartridge can also be damaged.
• Close the shutter if it opens while handling or ejecting a disc.
Otherwise dust may enter inside or a disc may become
scratched.
Shutter
After cleaning the heads and tape paths with a liquid head
cleaning cassette, wait until the cleaned parts are completely
dry before inserting the tapes.
Care of CDs
• When a disc becomes dirty, wipe the disc from the center out
with a cleaning cloth.
' After playing a disc, store the disc in its case. Do not leave the
disc in places that are hot or humid.
