When the System is in use, the display shows other items as well.
For simplicity, we show here only the items described in this section.
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 explain each separately. But 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
■
25.
The MD Recorder supports the following sampling frequencies
■
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 recording you can adjust
the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.
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.

This is a new digital audio disc format: it has a diameter of 64 mm and enables up to 74 minutes of playback and recording.
The cartridge
The diameter of the disc itself is 64 mm, smaller than a CD single.
The disc sits inside a 68 x 72 mm cartridge, which also being pocket
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 need to worry about scratches 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 signal is read from the beam which comes
back. However, the recording method for each type is different.
Information on MDs (Minidiscs)
Playback-only MD
This is the type used for commercially-available pre-recorded MDs,
on which recording cannot be done. Like a CD, data is recorded
based on the presence or absence of small indentations called pits.
A disc recorded with this format is called an “optical disc.”
SOUND
Cartridge
Disc
Shutterc
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 recording can be done again and again. By using a laser to heat the disc, the magnetism is erased and the magnetic head
records the new data. Discs with this type of recording method are
called magneto-optical (MO) discs.

tic Coding)
Within recordings, there are sounds which cannot be readily heard.
English
For example, as the volume decreases, high-pitched sounds and
low-pitched sounds become difficult to hear. also, if a quiet sound
comes at the same time as or just after a loud sound, it will not be
heard. With minidiscs, data is compressed using a technology called
ATRAC (Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding) which selectively
chooses sounds based on human sense of hearing characteristics.
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 no break in the sound which is actually delivered.
STOP
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 divisions, and track order are listed. When music
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.

■■
The following rules regarding copyright exist for dubbing to MDs from CDs or DATs through digital terminals.
Rules of Digital Dubbing
With the minidisc, there is a maximum number of tracks which can be recorded, re gardless 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, when these divided parts become numerous, the “DISC FULL” message may be
displayed. When a part of 8 seconds or less is created by division, that track cann ot be joined
by the JOIN function, and even if it is erased, the remaining usable time on the disc does not
increase. Tracks di vided 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.
SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)
Minidiscs can record clear sound with low loss of quality from CDs or DATs through each component’s digital input/output terminal. However,
minidiscs are set up so that a disc recorded in this way cannot be recorded onto another min idisc through digital input/output terminals. I n 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 compliance with this rule. If you try to make a copy of a copy the error message “SCMS CANNOT COPY” is
displayed, and dubbing can not be done.

The cabinet of the speaker is coated with high-grade polished
paint. When dirt such as a fingerprint, dust, etc. is stuck to the cabinet, first, dust the coating surface with the attached polishing
cloth. Next, lightly wipe off the dirt.
If the polishing cloth is dirty, wash it using a synthetic detergent.
