Receiving FM Stations with RDS
RDS (Radio Data System) allows the FM stations to send additional signals along with their regular
program signals. For example, the stations send their station names and information about what type
of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.
When tuned to an FM station providing the RDS signals, the RDS indicator lights up and the station
name, if sent, is displayed.
One convenient RDS service is “Enhanced Other Networks (EON)” (see page 16). This allows the
unit to automatically switch to a program type of your choice when one starts in your local area.
❏ Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do all RDS stations provide the same services. If
in doubt, check with local radio stations for details on RDS services in your area.
❏ RDS may not work correctly if the station you are tuned in is not transmitting the signals
properly or if the signal strength is weak.

IMPORTANT: Before using the Remote Control for the
MD operations, set the Remote Control to the MD
operation mode by pressing the MD button.
Your CA-MD9R is supplied with very powerful functions to record on the MDs. (For Editing
functions, see the next chapter from page 41.)
You can do the f ollowing:
•Recording any source
- Standard Recording (just record what you are listening)
- LONG REC: To record a long radio program or another source continuously on 3 MDs.
•Recording CDs
CD REC: To record automatically one CD on an MD by just pressing one button (One Touch
Recording)
TRIPLE REC: To record automatically 3 CDs loaded on the CD trays onto 3 MDs.
LISTENING: Lets you choose which track to record from CDs onto the MD while listening.
1ST TRACK REC: Lets you automatically record the first track of each CD loaded on the CD
trays.
Things to Know Before You Start Recording ——————————————
❏ It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs
without the consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast or
cable programme and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic embodied therein.
❏ Press the DOLBY B NR button — the indicator lights up — to reduce tape hiss.
❏ 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 such an MD from the beginning, you have to erase its contents first (see
“ALL ERASE Function” on page 48).
❏ When recording a source using the Standard Recording (see page 34), you can also record the
same source on a tape using the Standard Recording procedure for the Cassette Deck (see page
55).
❏ The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME control.
Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting
the recording level.
❏ When recording, you can hear Sound Modes through the speakers or headphones. However, the
sound is recorded without Sound Modes (see page 9).
❏ To avoid erasing important recordings
Recordable MDs have an
accidentally erasure prevention
tab so that important recordings
are not accidentally erased. When
you finish recording or editing,
slide open the erasure prevention
tab on the cartridge side surface.
New recording or editing is now
no longer possible. To redo
recording or editing, return the
tab to the closed position.

About the track marks
When playing an MD, you can move among the tracks using the or button or even select directly a
track using the Remote Control.
You can do that because there is a mark recorded at the front 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 recording from a digital source such as the CD Player, a track mark is recorded automatically at the
beginning of each track.
❏ When recording from a analog source such as the radio, no track mark is recorded. 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 them.
You can put track marks manually.
To put a track mark manually, during the recording, press the SET button at the place you want to put a track mark.
The MD Recorder will also consider a blank of 3 seconds or more as a blank separating 2 tracks and consequently
put a track mark.
Note:
To add track mark afterwards (when the recording is over), you can use the DIVIDE function (see page 42) to
divide a long recording.
Standard Recording
/
To record any source currently playing use the following procedure.
❏ You can also record the same source on the tape at the same time. (See page 55 for tape
recording.)

Indicators
Tape Direction Indicator on the unit
The Tape Direction indicator tells you which direction the tape runs.
During playback, the indicator flashes slowly.
During fast left or fast right, the indicator flashes quickly.
During Music Scan mode, the indicator flashes slowly and quickly alternately.
❏ Most tapes are now recorded with the Dolby NR system, so first check which type of the Dolby
NR system has been used on the tape. Only Dolby B NR is incorporated into the CA-MD9R.
❏ With Automatic Tape Selection, you can listen to type I, II (CrO
2) or IV (Metal) tapes without
changing any settings.
The use of tapes longer than 120 minutes is not recommended, since characteristic deterioration
may occur and these tapes easily jam in the pinch-rollers and the capstans.
Regular Play
One Touch Play—————————————————————————
❏ Press the ¤ or ‹ button (or the £ button on the Remote Control).
The power comes on and “TAPE” appears on the display. When a tape is already in the cassette
holder, the tape is played in the direction of the button pressed. If there is no tape in the cassette
holder, the CA-MD9R automatically turns on and “NO TAPE” appears on the display.
If the power is already on, you can use this basic procedure:
1. Press down the 0 button.
2. When the cassette holder opens, put a cassette in, with the exposed part of the tape down,
toward the base of the CA-MD9R.
❏ If the cassette holder does not open, turn off the unit, then back on and press down the 0
button again.

❏ The Cassette Deck automatically stops when one side of a tape has finished playing (except
if the deck is in auto reverse mode: see the next page).
Playing the front sidePlaying the reverse side
❏ To change the tape direction using the Remote Control, press the TAPE DIRECTION button.
Each time you press the button, the tape direction alternates.
To stop playing, press the 7 button.
To remove the tape, press down the 0 button after stopping the play.
Fast Left and Fast Right——————————————————————
❏ While the tape is stopped, press the 1 button and the tape will wind rapidly to the left side of
the cassette without playing.
❏ While the tape is stopped, press the ¡ button and the tape will wind rapidly to the right side of
the cassette without playing.
Music Scan
To find the beginning of a music track during play, use the Music Scan function. Music Scan
searches for blank portions that usually separate selections, then plays the next selection.
Finding the Beginning of the Current Selection —————————————
Press the 1 or ¡ button during play.
❏ Make sure that you press the 1 or ¡ button in the opposite direction to that in which the
tape is playing. Searching stops at the beginning of the current selection, and the current
selection starts automatically.
Finding the Beginning of the Next Selection ——————————————
Press the 1 or ¡ button during play.
❏ Make sure that you press the 1 or ¡ button in the same direction as that in which the tape is
playing. Searching stops at the beginning of the next selection, and the next selection starts
automatically.
Music Scan works by detecting a 4-second long blank at the beginning of each selection, so it will
not work well if your tape has...
•No blank at the beginning of a selection.
•Noise (often caused by much use or poor quality dubbing) which fills the blank.
•Long, very soft passages or pauses in a selection. The scan will detect these as 4-second
long blanks. If this happens, just scan again until you reach the selection you want.
Other Useful Features of the Cassette Deck
DOLBY B NR
❏ Use the auto reverse mode to make the tape automatically reverse at the end of a side and start
playing the other side.
Each time you press the button, the auto reverse mode turns on (the indicator lights up) and
off (the indicator goes off).
❏ Press the DOLBY B NR button to switch Dolby B NR* on (the indicator lights up) or off (the
indicator goes off).
If a tape is recorded with the Dolby B NR system, playing it back with the Dolby B NR on will
reduce tape noise and improve the clarity of the sound.

Things to Know Before You Start Recording ——————————————
❏ It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs
without the consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast or
cable programme and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic embodied therein.
❏ Press the DOLBY B NR button — the indicator lights up — to reduce tape hiss.
❏ When you want to record onto both sides of a tape, turn on the auto reverse mode. However,
recording automatically stops after recording in the ¤ direction with the auto reverse mode on.
Therefore, make sure that the tape direction is ‹ when recording with the auto reverse mode
on.
❏ The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME control.
Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting
the recording level.
❏ Two small tabs on the cassette tape, one for side A and
one for side B, can be removed to prevent accidental
erasure or re-recording. To record on a cassette with the
tabs removed, you must cover the holes with adhesive
tape first. However, when a type II tape is used, only
cover part of the hole as shown, since the other part of
the hole is used to detect the tape type.
❏ When recording, you can hear Sound Modes through the speakers or headphones. However, the
sound is recorded without Sound Modes (see page 9).
❏ Type I and Type II tapes can be used for recording.
Note: The first and end portions of the tape are called leader tape, which cannot be recorded onto.
When you start recording, the first part of the recording may not be done because of this
leader tape. Before inserting the cassette, first wind the leader tape.
CAUTION: If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static, the unit may be too close to
a TV which has been on during recording. Either turn off the TV or increase the distance between
the TV and the CA-MD9R.
Standard Recording
You can record any sound source on the tape.
❏ You can also record the same source on the MD at the same time. (See page 34.)

Notes:
•When recording from a CD program (or random play) made from more than one CD, the tape
will pause when the unit switches to another CD. Then, when the CD is ready, the unit releases
the pause and continue the recording.
•When making Sleep Timer setting while doing CD Direct recording, set the time so that there is
enough leeway to finish the recording before the power goes off. If the time is set to about the
length of the CD, the power may go off before recording finishes.
•For CD Direct Recording using more than one CD, use a blank tape. If you use a prerecorded
tape, prerecorded sound may not be erased between newly-recorded tracks.

The disc is write-protected.
The track is protected using another
MD recorder.
During playback, you inserted an MD
into the loading slot where another MD
has been inserted.
The MD is not inserted correctly.
Solution
Change the disc with another if you
want to enjoy playback.
This is not a malfunction. (See MD
limitations.)
Change the disc.
Use another recordable MD or erase
some tracks.
Eject the MD and re-insert it.

Use a recordable MD for recording.
Unprotect the disc or use another.
Press the SET button, then the EDIT
button to cancel the track protection.
Remove the MD.
Insert the MD correctly then press the
0 button for the MD Recorder.
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 disc does not increase even
when tracks are erased.
The sound drops out during fast forward or fast rewind.
The amount of recorded time on the disc added to the
amount of remaining time is shorter than the disc’s total
possible recording time.
There is a maximum number of tracks which can be
recorded, regardless of time. More than 254 tracks cannot
be recorded on a disc.
• Repeating erasure and recording on the same disc create
many blank portions sparsely on the disc. When recording
on such a disc, 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 2 seconds
in the MD. For this reason, the actual recording time of
discs may become shorter.

Additional Informations
Some Words about MDs
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)
The MD provides 74 minutes recording and playback time, the same as 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, enabled
the recorded data to be about one-fifth of the original data.
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 tracks quickly and edit tracks on the MD.
3:12
4:15
6:05
Serial Copy Management System (SCMS)
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).

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 disc 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.
