is relaxed. JVC's α DIMENSION SOUND
function is designed to produce natural and
easy-listening sound that makes you feel
relaxed. The effect is completed by 1) LFO
modulation which adds fluctuation with the
α wave frequency to subtracted waves (leftright indirect sound) which provides sound
circulation, and 2) natural sound collection
for covering the middle range of waves in
music signals which naturally tend to
dissipate.

smaller the number of characters that you can
enter, because "LP: " and 4 spaces are automatically added to each track.
You can set this product so that "LP: " is not
added to tracks. ( page 25)
Example: When editing 120 tracks recorded
using long-play stereo recording to an

Introduction
Restrictions on MDs
MDs employ an original recording method different from those used for cassette tapes and digital audio
tapes. Because the MD recording method has some restrictions, the following phenomena may occur. The
phenomena are not a malfunction of this product.
PhenomenonPossible cause
"DISC FULL" appears even though
recordable time as printed on the MD
remains.
"DISC FULL" appears even though
the track numbers and recordable
time have not reached the limit.
You cannot join tracks or groups.
The remaining recordable time does
not increase even after you have
erased some tracks.
Sound drops out intermittently during
fast forward or fast reverse.
Recorded time plus remaining time is
shorter than the total recordable time
printed on the MD.
Regardless of remaining recordable time, MDs have a limit on the number of
recordable tracks. You cannot record 255 or more tracks to an MD. (You can
record up to 254 tracks to an MD.)
Repeated partial erasure and recording creates numerous time blanks on an
MD.
When you record a track to such an MD, the track is split up and a small portion
of the track is inserted into each time blank.
When the number of such split portions increases, "DISC FULL" may appear.
When a split portion is 8 or less seconds in SP mode (the standard stereo
recording mode), you cannot join it with another track.
In addition, when you erase such portions, remaining recordable time does not
increase.
With a track split among many time blanks, fast forward or fast reverse may produce intermittent sound dropouts.
You cannot join tracks that have different MDLP modes (SP/LP2/LP4).
MD recording is possible only when there is a time blank of 12 or more seconds
consecutively (in SP mode (the standard stereo recording mode) ) on the MD.
Actual recording time is shortened on an MD that contains numerous time
blanks.
English Reference
You can make a clear digital recording from a CD to an MD. However, you are prohibited from duplicating the
digitally recorded sound from that MD to another MD using the original digital signals. In short, you cannot
make "a copy of a copy". This rule is called the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS). This product is
designed to comply with this rule.
Serial Copy Management System (SCMS)
The Serial Copy Management System protects copyright and allows only first-generation digital copies from
the digitally recordable source.
CAUTION
• The SCMS does not permit you to record sound from a digitally recorded MD to other media as digital sound.
• You cannot digitally record a digitally recorded CD-R/CD-RW to an MD. "SCMS CANNOT COPY" appears and the
digital sound is converted to analog.
High Speed Copy Management System (HCMS)
You can record sound to an MD at a higher speed than normal recording. Therefore, restrictions are
required in order to protect copyright.
When you use this product to record a track of a CD with the high speed recording function, this
product does not permit you to use the high speed recording function to record the same track of a CD
to an MD within 74 minutes of the start of the first recording.
For instance, when you record the first track of a CD to an MD with the high speed recording function,
you cannot record the same track to an MD for 74 minutes after the first high speed recording started.
In addition, when recording tracks from a CD with the high speed recording function, you cannot
record 101 or more tracks within 74 minutes after recording starts. You can record up to 100 tracks in
such a case.

Handling CDs/MDs/Cassette Tapes
C
Handling CDs
• Do not put adhesive tape or stickers, or write on
a CD.
• Do not bend a CD.
• Be sure not to use heart/flower shaped CDs or
other irregularly shaped CDs. The use of such
CDs damages the main unit.
Cleaning CDs
Signal surface
Wipe a CD from the
center outward with a
soft cloth.
• Be sure not to use thinners, benzenes, cleaners
for analog records, or other chemical agents.
Scratches concentrated
on a certain part cause
sound dropout.
Handling MDs
• Do not open the shutter. Forcibly opening
the shutter will break
the MD.
Handling cassette tapes
• A slack tape may become
caught in the inner part of
the main unit and damage
the main unit. Before
using a cassette tape,
wind up any slack in
the cassette tape as
shown on the right. Do
not pull out the tape or touch the
tape's surface.
Cleaning the tape deck head
Clean the head, pinch rollers and capstans
approximately every 10 hours of playback time
before the volume falls or sound quality deteriorates
Capstans
Pinch rollerHeadPinch roller
otton-tipped
swab moistened
with alcohol
Preventing the loss of important
recorded sound
• A write protect knob is attached to an MD for
preventing accidental erasure of recorded
sound.
Write protect knob
Close the write
protect knob before
recording or editing.
NOTE
• Do not put labels such as those indicating CD/track
titles or other notes on any part of an MD other than
the specified position. If you insert an MD with a
label extending beyond the specified area, a label
that is peeling off, or any other improperly attached
label, it may damage the main unit.
Open the write
protect knob to avoid
erasing sound.
Cleaning the main unit cabinet
• Gently dust the cabinet surface with a soft dry
cloth. When the cabinet is very dirty, dampen the
cloth with a neutral detergent diluted with water,
wring out the cloth well, and then wipe the cabinet with the dampened cloth followed by a soft
dry cloth.
• Do not wipe the cabinet with thinners or benzenes. Wiping it with these agents may cause
discoloration of the cabinet or removal of the
paint. Do not spray insecticides or other highly
volatile agents onto the cabinet. Do not leave
pieces of rubber or plastic on the cabinet for a
long period.
