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

26.

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.
Note that it takes 10 seconds 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 19.) 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 15.)

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 15.
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 TAPE/
AUX button on the Unit or the Remote Control until “AUX 2
DIGITAL IN” appears on the display.

Accidental erasure prevention knob

Close

For recording or editing

When you stick an adhesive label onto the MD cartridge, adhere

■

it securely. If it peels off, ejection trouble, etc. will 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.)

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 seconds.

• Sound synchro recording may not correctly work if the in­put noise is large, since it starts after detecting the presence
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 (track marks) are added for one track.
This is not fault. Join both tracks using the Join function. (See
page 18.)

5. Press the 7 button to stop recording.

■

“UTOCwriting” appears on the display, indicating that the re­cording is successfully completed. Then, the MD stops.

• After the CD Player has played the entire CD or all the pro­grammed tracks, “UTOCwriting” appears on the display, indi­cating that the recording is successfully completed. Then, the
MD and the CD stop.

• When the MD becomes full before the CD Player finishes play­back, the MD stops after indicating “UTOCwriting”.

While “UTOCwriting” is displayed, do not disconnect the

= Remaining time (recordable capacity) of MD

Track marking ———————————

• Whenever playback adva nces from one track to another during
digital recording, the track number at the MD side is automati­cally incremented by 1.

• Whenever no sound at the playback side continues for 3 or
more seconds during analog recording, the track number at the
MD side is automatically incremented by 1.

• The track number at the MD side is automatically incremented
by 1 by pressing the SET button on the Remote Control at the
desirable location during analog recording. (Tuner or the
equipment connected to the AUX-1)

■

2. Play the track on the CD you wish to

■

3. Press the MD REC button on the Unit.

■

The CD Player returns to the beginning of that track and the
track is recorded on the MD. After recording, the CD Player and
MD Recorder automatically stops.

Display the Information ———————

During CD synchro recording, you can see various information us­ing the DISPLAY button on the Remote Control.

Press the DISPLAY button on the Remote Control repeat­edly.

The display changes as follows.

Information on MDs (Minidiscs)

This is a new digital audio disc format: it has a diameter of 64 mm and enables up to 80 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

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.

Cartridge

Disc

Shutter

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.

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

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 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.

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.

24

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 minidisc records information 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 conditions may arise. These conditions are not malfunctions.

recording time.

Minidisc Limitations

Condition Cause

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.

25

■■

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 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.

OK

DIGITAL

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

■■

Handle your CDs and MDs carefully, and they will last a long time.

Care And Maintenance

DIGITAL

Moisture Condensation

Compact Discs

• Only CDs bearing this mark can be used with
this System. However, continued use of irregu­larly shaped 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 shiny surface 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 dust off
the lens.

NO

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

• After turning on heating in the room.

• In a damp room.

• If the System is brought directly 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.
