Before You Start Recording on an MD

• It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright owner.

• When you record onto partially recorded MD, its contents are not erased or overwritten. The recording starts from the point following the last recorded track of the MD. If you want to record on such an MD from the beginning, you have to erase its contents first (see “Erasing All Tracks —ALL ERASE” on page 55).

• When an MD is fully recorded, recording will stops automatically.

• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the volume level. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.

• While recording, you can hear sound mode effect and/or the AHB PRO (Active Hyper Bass PRO) effect through the speakers or headphones. However, the sound is recorded without these effects (see pages 14).

• You can make a digital recording from an audio CD onto an MD. When selecting FM, AM, TAPE or AUX as the source, you can make an analog recording only.

• You cannot record more than 254 tracks onto an MD, even if there is still enough recording time remaining on it.

About the track marks

When playing an MD, you can move among the tracks. You can do this because there is a mark recorded at the beginning of each track enabling you to locate the track. This mark is called a “track mark” and the portion between two adjacent track marks is called a “track.”

• When using CD synchronized recording, a track

mark is recorded at the beginning of each track. You cannot put a track mark manually.

• When recording from an analog source such as FM/AM broadcasts, no track mark is recorded on the MD. This means that, when playing this MD, the MD recorder will regard the entire recording as one track (track 1). You will not be able to select directly a song or navigate through songs.

However, if there is a blank of 3 seconds or more, the MD recorder will consider it as a blank separating 2 tracks and consequently put a track mark.

To put a track mark manually while recording an analog source, press SET on the remote control at the

place where you want to put a track mark.

To add a track mark after recording is over, you can use the DIVIDE function (see page 52).

To avoid erasing important recordings

The recordable MD has an erasure prevention tab so that important recordings are not accidentally erased. When you finish recording or editing, slide to open the erasure prevention tab on the cartridge side surface. New recording or editing is now no longer possible. (If you try to do, “DISC PROTECTED” appears in the main display.) To do re-recording or editing, return the tab to the closed position.

If “PLAYBACK DISC” appears in the main display when you try to record on an MD

The MD is only for playback use, not for recording (see page

68).

Stereo Long-Hour Recording (MDLP)

On conventional MD recorders, 2 times long-hour recording on MDs has been possible only in monaural sound, but this unit allows for 2 times or 4 times longhour recording without losing stereo sound.

With this feature, songs (tracks) can be recorded on a single MD using different recording length modes—SP: Standard Play, LP2: 2 Times Long Play, LP4: 4 Times Long Play. SP: Signifies standard-hour stereo recording. The

amount of time usable for recording is the same as shown on the package of the MD.

LP2:Signifies 2 times long-hour stereo recording. The

amount of time usable for recording is twice as long as shown on the package of the MD.

LP4:Signifies 4 times long-hour stereo recording. The

amount of time usable for recording is 4 times as long as shown on the package of the MD.

REMEMBER to check the remaining recording time of MDs before starting recording

The remaining recording time of MDs will be calculated and shown, based on the recording length mode (SP/LP2/ LP4) currently selected. Before starting recording or using the Recording Timer, check the recording time remaining on the MD for each recording length mode (SP/LP2/LP4) and select the optimum recording length mode.

To check the remaining recording time

Load an MD to record on.

Select the source to record.

Press DISP/CHARA repeatedly until “REC REMAIN” and the remaining time based on the current recording mode* appear in the main display.

* When the source is “MD,” the remaining time will be

shown based on SP mode.

Precautions for performing long-hour stereo recording

After having made long-hour stereo recordings on this unit, pay attention to the following:

• Songs (tracks) recorded in 2 times or 4 times longhour recording mode can only be played back on the equipment provided with MDLP, compatible with a long-hour stereo recording function; otherwise, “LP:” is displayed before a title and playback proceeds without sounds.

• When editing songs (tracks) on an MD, you cannot join (JOIN) songs (tracks) recorded in different recording length modes (SP/LP2/LP4).

• You cannot make a long-hour monaural recording using this

• Sound quality will decrease as the recording length mode

changes to LP2 (little) and LP4 (much). To obtain the best sound quality, it is recommended to use the SP mode when recording.

About High-Speed Recording

The time for high-speed recording is half or quarter as long as the time for normal speed recording.

There are some restrictions to observe for high-speed recording (x2 speed recording: two times as quick as normal speed recording, x4 speed recording: four times as quick as normal speed recording) to protect copyrights. (HCMS: see page 66.)

This unit is so designed that a song (track) recorded from a CD using high-speed recording cannot be re-recorded until 74 minutes elapse after the previous recording started.

If you try to re-record the same song (track) within the 74 minutes, recording is canceled and “HCMS CANNOT COPY” appears in the main display as a warning.

– 35 –

REMEMBER if you are trying to record a program including the same song (track) twice using high-speed recording, recording will stop at the beginning of the 2nd recording of the same song (track). (“HCMS CANNOT COPY” will appear in the main display.)

During high-speed recording

You cannot listen to any source, and therefore, cannot adjust the volume level. (“CANNOT LISTEN” will appear if you try to do.)

About x4 speed recording

• You can select x4 speed recording only when you select SP as recording length mode.

• When you select x4 speed recording, you cannot record using Program or Random play mode.

Guidance—MD Group Functions

To add to the conventional MD Editing functions (called the track editing functions in this manual), MD Group functions help you to classify the tracks by making groups on your MD.

Classifying the tracks on an MD

MDLP enables you to record more tracks on a single MD than usual. So, there are many tracks which have been recorded from the various sources—CDs, FM, and so on—on your MD.

In that case, if you can classify the tracks by source, by album, or by artist, the playback of your favorite songs becomes much easier.

Group 3

Using MD Group functions

MD Group functions consist of Group play, Group recording and Group editing.

• Group play (see page 27):

You can play back and repeat the desired group without making a program: For example, you can play back repeatedly genre B tracks by selecting Group 1 in the left figure.

• Group recording (see page 36):

You can form a group while tracks are being recorded.

• Group editing:

You can edit the groups using the following functions:

- Forming a group (FORM GR)

- Adding a track to a group (ENTRY GR)

- Dividing a group (DIVIDE GR)

- Joining two groups (JOIN GR)

- Moving a group (MOVE GR)

- Ungrouping tracks (UNGROUP)

- Dissolving all groups (UNGR ALL)

- Erasing tracks in a group (ERASE GR)

How to make up Groups

You can make up groups using two methods: Forming-agroup function and Group recording function.

• Forming-a-group function—FORM GR:

Select this when you want to make groups after recording (see page 44).

• Group recording function:

Select this when you want to record and group tracks at the same time (see page 36).

By forming groups on the MD, you can classify the tracks by each genre—the album title, the artist, etc. You can also assign a name to each group (see pages 56 – 58).

– 42 –

About information concerning MD Group functions

Once you edit an MD using MD Group functions, the MD is assigned some characters as the information concerning MD Group functions. These characters appear only when you play back the MD using the equipment incompatible with MD Group functions. If you edit the characters using such equipment, the groups on the MD will be dissolved.

Introducing Group Editing Functions

The groups and tracks can be edited in many ways (Group editing functions and Track editing functions). From this page to page 50, the group editing functions are explained. For details on the track editing functions, see pages 51 to 55.

• You cannot edit titles composed of more than 64 characters.

About the number of characters entered for an MD

The total number of characters that you can enter for an MD is

1792. The maximum number that you can enter for a disc title is 64, and for each track title, 61. (However, the actual number you can enter may be slightly less than these maximum numbers due to the MD limitations—see page 66.)

• A space can be counted as one character.

• When the stereo long-hour recording (LP2 or LP4, see page

35) method is used for recording, the maximum number you can enter for a track title is automatically reduced since “LP:” and a space are automatically added to the beginning of the track title. Consequently this reduces the total number of characters you can enter for an MD. Ex.: You can enter up to 10 characters for each track if an

MD is composed of 120 tracks recorded using the stereo long-hour recording method.

Maintenance

To get the best performance of the unit, keep your discs, tapes and mechanism clean.

General Notes

In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your CDs, MDs and the mechanism clean.

• Store CDs and MDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on shelves.

• Keep the electronic swing panel closed when not in use.

Cleaning the unit

• Stains on the unit Should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the unit is heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in waterdiluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.

• Since the unit may deteriorate in quality, become

damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the following:

- DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth.

- DO NOT wipe it strong.

- DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.

- DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as

insecticides to it.

- DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in

contact with it for a long time.

Handling CDs

• Remove the CD from its case by holding it at the edge while pressing the center hole lightly.

• Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the CD.

• Put the CD back in its case after use to prevent warping.

Handling MDs

• Do not open the shutter.

- The shutter is locked so that it will not open. Trying to force it open will break the MD. If the shutter opens accidentally, close it again quickly without touching the MD inside.

• Do not place MDs in the following places:

- High temperature areas such as

in direct sunlight or inside a car.

- High humidity areas, e.g. in a

bathroom.

- On a beach or sandy area.

• Clean MDs regularly.

- If dust or dirt gets on cartridge, wipe it off with a soft dry cloth.

Handling cassette tapes

• If the tape is loose in its cassette, take up the slack by inserting a pencil in one of the reels and rotating.

• If the tape is loose, it may get stretched, cut, or caught in the cassette.

• Be careful not to scratch the surface of the CD when placing it back in its case.

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes, and moisture.

To clean the CD

Wipe the CD with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.

DO NOT use any solvent—such as conventional record cleaner, spray, thinner, or benzine—to clean the CD.

• Be careful not to touch the tape surface.

• Avoid the following places to store the tape:

- In dusty places

- In direct sunlight or heat

- In moist areas

- On a TV or speaker

- Near a magnet

Additional Information

MD Disc Types

There are two types of MDs: Premastered (prerecorded) and Recordable (blank).

Premastered MDs

Premastered MDs, which have been recorded at music studio, can be played back like regular CDs. On an MD of this type, data is recorded as the presence or absence of tiny pits. A laser beam focuses on the pits on the surface of the MD and reflects the detection back to the lens in the MD recorder. The MD recorder then decodes the signals and plays them back as music. This type of MD is called an “optical disc.”

Recordable MDs

Recordable MDs, which use magneto-optical technology, can be recorded and played back repeatedly. The laser inside the MD recorder applies heat to the MD, demagnetizing the magnetic layer of the MD for recording and playback. This type of MD is called an “magnetic-optical disc.”

ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding)/ATRAC3 ( )

The MD provides 80 minute recording and playback time, much more than an audio CD, but in a diameter of only 64 mm. This ability to store such a large amount of data is the result of ATRAC, an audio compression technique developed for MD. This technology cuts out faint sounds that would not be heard by the human beings. This technology, based on human sensitivity to sounds, reduces recorded data volume up to about one-fifth of the original data volume.

Furthermore, this unit takes advantage of the latest ATRAC3 techniques, which can reduce the amount of data to record to one-10th or one-20th of the original data volume. This allows for 2 times or 4 times long-hour stereo recording on this unit.

UTOC (User Table Of Contents)

Found only on recordable MDs, this area contains sub-data (track number, recording data, etc.) which can be rewritten by the user. UTOC enables us to search for tracks quickly and edit tracks on the MD.

3:12 4:15 6:05

Sound Skip Guard Memory

The biggest weakness of discs is their susceptibility to vibration. The “Sound Skip Guard Memory” has been developed to cope with this weakness. With this function, a few seconds of signals read by the optical read head from the MD are first stored in memory before being reproduced as audio signals. Thus, even when vibration or shock interrupts signals being read, these stored signals can continue to reproduce sounds for the few seconds. Thus, the user will enjoy uninterrupted music.

When “vibrated”....Normally....

SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)

The MD recorder integrated to this unit uses the Serial Copy Management System which allows only first-generation digital copies to be made of premastered software (like CDs or prerecorded MDs).

1st Generation 2nd Generation

ABCDEFG

CD-R/RW

HCMS (High-speed Copy Management System)

Now onto recordable MDs (minidiscs), you can record (copy) sound at a recording speed exceeding the normal speed. This fact requires some restrictions for protecting copyrights. On this unit, you cannot re-record, at either high speed or normal speed, a song (track) that has been recorded once from a CD at high speed, until 74 minutes elapse after the first recording of the song started. For example, after having recorded the first song (track) of a CD at high speed, you cannot record it again, at either high speed or normal speed, until 74 minutes elapse after the first recording of that song started.

MD limitations

The MD records data in an original format that differs from that of conventional cassette tapes or DATs. Since there are some limitations with this recording format, the following types of symptoms may occur. These symptoms are not malfunctions.

Symptoms

“DISC FULL” appears, even though there is still enough remaining time on an MD.

“DISC FULL” appears, even though the number of tracks and recording time do not reach the limit.

The JOIN function sometimes does not work.

The remaining time on the MD does not increase even when tracks are erased.

The sound drops out during fast forward or fast reverse.

The amount of recorded time on the MD added to the amount of remaining time is shorter than the MD’s total possible recording time.

There is a maximum number of tracks which can be recorded, regardless of recording time. More than 254 tracks cannot be recorded on an MD.

• Repeating erasure and recording on the same MD creates many blank portions sparsely on the MD. When recording on such an MD, a track is recorded on these blank portions sparsely. If a track is divided and recorded into so many portions, “DISC FULL” appears.

• If a divided portion of less than 8 seconds is made while a track is recorded on the MD, that track cannot be joined to another track using the JOIN function. Furthermore, if that track is erased, the remaining time of the MD may not increase exactly by the erased amount.

• If a track has been divided into many portions while being recorded on the MD, sounds will drop out while fast forwarding or reversing such an MD.

You cannot record on a blank portion of less than 12 seconds (SP mode) on the MD. For this reason, the actual recording time of discs may become shorter.
