PS (Programme Service):

shows commonly known station names.

PTY (Programme Type):

shows types of broadcast programmes.

RT (Radio Text):

shows text messages the station sends.

What information can RDS signals provide?

The display shows RDS signal information that the station sends.

To show the RDS signals on the display————————————————

Press the DISPLAY MODE button while listening to an FM station.

Each time you press th e bu tt on, th e di spl ay c hanges to sh ow in for mation in the following order:

Recording onto an MD from any of the sound sources is simple. Just insert an MD to the Unit, have the source ready, make one or two settings, and you are ready to record. For each source, the procedure is a little bit different so we explai n each sep arately. Bu t first, here are a few things to make your recordings better.

Things To Know Before You Start

Recording —————————————

■ It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted

material without the consent of the copyright owner.

■ Carefully read the “Rules of Digital Dubbing” on page

28.

■ The MD Recorder supports the following sampling frequ encies

for digital sources. For the OPTICAL DIGITAL IN (AUX2): 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz. For the CD Player of the Unit: 44.1 kHz.

■ The recording level, which is the volume at which the new MD

is being made, is automatically set correctly , so it is not affected by the VOLUME level of the System. Nor it is affected by adjusting the sound effects. Thus, during record ing you can ad just the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.

■ Note that it takes 10 second s until the MD REC button becomes

effective after the MD has been inserted.

■ The accidental erasure prevention knob is provided on the back

of an MD cartridge to prevent accidental erasure or recording. It must be set to the close position beforehand.

Preparation Before Recording ———

■ Be sure that the MD is not the Play-only type one.

■ Be sure that the accidental erasure prevention knob of the MD

cartridge is set to the close position. Otherwise, “DISC PROTECTED” will appear when you try to record a signal to the MD.

■ Be sure that the MD has enough space for recording. If not, car-

ry out ALL ERASE or ERASE function to erase all the tracks or desired tracks in the MD . (See page 21.) You can check the recordable remaining time of the MD in Stop mode or during recording by pressing the DISPLAY button. (See “Checking the Remaining Time of the MD” mentioned on page 17.)

Standard Recording

You can record any sound source to an MD as follows.

1. Insert an MD with its label side up.

■

2. Prepare one of the sources.

■

CD: Use the “CD Synchro Recording” on page 17. Tuner: Tune in to a station. AUX1 (LINE IN (AUX1)): Press the TAPE/AUX button on the Unit or the Remote Control until “AUX 1 ANALOG IN” appears on the display. AUX2 (OPTICAL DIGITAL IN (AUX2)): Press the T APE/ AUX button on the Unit or the Remote Control until “AUX 2 DIGITAL IN” appears on the display.

Accidental erasure prevention knob

For recording or editing

Open

For protecting erasure

■ When you stick an adhesive label onto the MD cartridg e, adhere

it securely. If it peels off, ejection trouble, etc. wi ll occur.

■ To start recording immediately after inserting an MD, it is re-

quired to allow several seconds.

■ Only stereo recording is possible. (Monaural recording that en-

ables long recording is impossible.)

3. Play the record source selected in step 2.

■

4. Press the MD REC button on the Unit.

■

The MD REC indicator lights up and the selected source is recorded on the MD.

• The track number is incremented by one and it blinks on the

music calendar.

MD REC

■ When AUX1 or AUX2 is selected as a source, sound synchro

recording takes place. The MD Recorder will automatically

start recording when a signal is input and stop when no signal continues for more than 30 second s.

• Sound synchro recording may not correctly work if the in-

put noise is large, since it starts after detect ing the prese nce of signal.

• You can also start recording by pressing the MD REC button and then the MD

#¥8

button.

■ When you record a signal from a DAT through the AUX2 ter-

minal, two track numbers (t rack marks) are added for one track. This is not fault. Join both tracks using the Join function. (See page 20.)

5. Press the 7 button to stop recording.

Information on MDs (Minidiscs)

The cartridge

The diameter of the disc itself is 64 mm, sma ller th an a CD sing le.

The disc sits inside a 68

72 mm cartridg e, which al so being poc ket size, makes minidiscs extremely handy for carrying and storage. Since the disc is protected by the cartridge, dust and dirt cannot easily get into it. And thanks to a shutter which is closed at all times except during use, there is no nee d to worry abo ut scrat ches or finger marks, making the handling of minidiscs very simple.

Two types of minidisc

There are two types of minidisc, “recordable MDs” and “playbackonly MDs.” The playback method for each is the same: a laser irradiates the disc and the si gnal is read from the bea m which comes back. However, the recording method for each type is different.

Playback-only MD

This is the type used for commercially-available pre-recorded MDs, on which recording canno t be done. Like a CD, data is recorded based on the prese nce or a bsence of smal l indent ations called pits. A disc recorded with this format is called an “optical disc.”

SOUND

ATRAC (Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding)

Within recordings, there are sounds which cannot be readily heard. For example, as the volume decreases, high-pitched sounds and low-pitched sounds beco me dif fi cult to hear. Also , if a quiet sou nd comes at the same time as or just after a loud sound, it will not be heard. With minidisc s, data is com pressed using a technology c alled ATRAC (Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding) which selectively chooses sounds based on human sense of hearing characteri stics. With this technology, the recorded data is about one-fifth the volume of the original data, allowing it to fit on a compact minidisc.

Sound skip guard memory

With the minidisc, the data of the track being played can be temporarily stored up using a function called “sound skip guard memory”. Even when data cannot be collected properly from the disc due to shaking or vibrations, information is stored in the “sound skip guard memory”, so that there is n o break in the sou nd which is actua lly delivered.

Recordable MDs

These are the so-called “blank” MDs you can use to make your own recordings. Data is recorded by magnetism, which is easily processed, so that reco rd ing ca n be do ne ag ain a nd ag ain. B y usi ng a laser to heat the disc, the magnetism is erased and the magnetic head records the new data. Discs with th is type of re cording me thod are called magneto-optical (MO) discs.

UTOC (User Table Of Contents)

In a minidisc, apart from the recorded tracks, there is the “UTOC”. In this area, information such as the position where each track is recorded, the track division s, and trac k order are list ed. When mu sic search is done, the UTOC is consulted, and the tracks are quickly found and played back . When editing is done, only the UTOC is changed, so there is no need to re-record the tracks.

Minidisc Limitations

Condition Cause

With the minidisc, there is a maximum number of tracks which can be recorded, regardless of time. More than 254 tracks cannot be recorded on a disc.

When parts of the disc are erased and re-recorded, blank spots are created on the disc. When recording to such a disc, one track of data is divided and recorded in the blank areas. During recording, w he n the s e divided parts become numero us , the “DISC FULL” me ss a ge may be displayed. When a part of 8 seconds or less is created by division, that track cannot be joined by the JOIN func tio n, and even if it is erased, the remain in g usabl e time on the di sc do es not increase. Tracks divided into small pieces may skip when fast forward or fast rewind is done.

Minidiscs must have at least 2 seconds of continuous space in order to record. For this reason, the actual recording time of discs with a lot of short blank areas becomes shorter.

The following rules regarding copyright exist for dubbing to MDs from CDs or DATs through digital terminals.

Rules of Digital Dubbing

SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)

Minidiscs can record clear sound with low loss of quality from CDs or DATs thr ough each component’s digit al input/output te rminal. However, minidiscs are set up so that a disc recorded in this way cannot be recorded onto another minidisc through digital input/output terminals. In other words, you can not make a copy of a copy. This rule is called SCMS (Serial Copy Management System). The recorder is designed in co mpliance with this rule. If you try to mak e a copy of a copy the error messag e “SCMS CANNOT COPY” is displayed, and dubbing can not be done.

DIGITAL

It may be unlawful to reco r d or pla y back c op yri g ht ed ma te ria l withou t t he co ns e nt of the co py r igh t ow n er.

Care And Maintenance

DIGITAL

Moisture Condensation

Compact Discs

• Only CDs bearing this mark can be used with this System. However, continued use of irregular shape CDs (heart-shape, octagonal , etc.) can damage the System.

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

• Do not touch the shin y su rf a c e of the CD, or bend the CD.

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

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

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

• A dirty CD may not play correctly. If a CD does become dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.

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 system’s CD cover closed when not in use.

Cleaning the lens

If the lens in the CD pickup is dirty, dropout, etc., could degrade sound. Open the CD cover and clean the lens as shown.

• Use a blower (available from a camera store) to blow du st off the lens.

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the System in the following cases:

• After turning on heating in the roo m.

• In a damp room.

• If the System is brought direct ly from a cold to a warm place.

Should this occur, the System may malfunction. In this case, leave the System turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, and then plug it in again.

Blower

CAUTION: Do not use any solvent (for example, conventional record cleaner, spray thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean a CD.

MDs (Minidiscs)

Do not open the shutter. Since the shutter is locked to prevent it from opening, forcing it to open will break the disc.

Lens

• If there are fingerprints, etc. on the lens, gently wipe clean with a cotton swab.

■■

• If you are having a problem with your System, check this list for a possible solution before calling for service.

• If you cannot solve the problem from the hints given here, or the System has been physically damaged, call a qualified person, such as your dealer, for service.
