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 Instruc
tions.
Electric Power
1 Power sources — Connect this unit only to power sources
specified in the Operating Instructions, and as marked on the
unit.
2Polarization — 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 or car battery cord
- When disconnecting the power cord, pull out by the plug. Do
not pull the cord itself.
- Never handle the power plug with wet hands, as this could
result in fire or shock.
- Power cord 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
inserted to prevent exposure of the blades of the plug.
5 When not in use — Disconnect 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.
Outdoor Antenna
1 Power lines — When connecting an outdoor antenna, make
sure it is located away from power lines.
2Outdoor antenna grounding — Be sure the antenna system
is properly grounded to provide protection against unexpected
voltage surges or static electricity build-up. Article 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information
on proper grounding of the mast, supporting structure, and the
lead-in wire to the antenna discharge unit, as well as the size
of the grounding unit, connection to grounding terminals, and
requirements for grounding terminals.

WHAT IS AN MD (MINI DISC)?
An MD is only 64 mm (2 % in.) in diameter, about half the size of
a conventional CD. But an MD can be used to store and playback
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.
TYPES OF MDS
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 or edit them.
The shutter covers
the opening only on
the non-labeled
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 both
sides of the MD.
*' 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 data 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.
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.
*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.
Tracks cannot be joined (the COMBINE function does
not function).
Tracks created by editing may not be joined.
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,
the 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.
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.

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 enabling them
to be played in any order.
* SCMS (Serial Copy Management System) is the standard to
restrict single digital dubbing between the digital audio system
thus protecting copyrights.

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.
