CAUTION: Even if the system is unplugged or if the power failure occurs, the preset stations will be stored for about 24 hours. However, in case the preset stations are erased, you will need to preset the stations again.

When you are tuned into an FM stereo broadcast, the “STEREO” indicator lights up and you can hear stereo effects. If an FM stereo broadcast is hard to receive or noisy, you can select Monaural mode. Reception improves, but you lose stereo effect.

Press the FM MODE button on the Remote Control so that the “MONO” indicator lights up on the display.

To restore the stereo effect, press the FM MODE button on th e

Remote Control so that the “MONO” indicator goes off.

You can use the RDS (Radio Data System) by using the buttons on the Unit or the Remote Control. RDS allows FM stations to send additional signals with thei r regular programme signals. For example, the stations send their station names, and inf ormation about wh at type o f program mes they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc. This unit can receive the following types of RDS signals:

PS (Programme Service):

shows commonly known stat ion names.

PTY (Programme Type):

shows types of broadcast pr ogrammes.

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 but ton, th e disp lay c han ges to sh ow in formation in the following order:

PS (Programme Service):

While searching, “PS” a ppears, then station name is displ ayed. “NO PS” appears if no signal is sent.

PTY (Programme Type):

While searching, “PTY” appears, then broadcast programme type is displayed. “NO PTY” appears if no signal is sent.

RT (Radio Text):

While searching, “RT” appears, then a text message sent by the station is displayed. “NO RT” appears if no signal is sent.

Station Frequency:

Station frequency (non-RDS service)

Notes:

• If searching finishes at once, “PS”, “PT Y” and “RT” will not appear on the display.

• If you press the DISPLAY MODE button while listening to an AM (MW/LW) station, the display only shows station frequency.

• RDS is not available for AM (MW/LW) broadcasts.

Case 1: If there is no station broa dcasting the type of pro-

gramme you have selected

The broadcast station being currently heard will continue to be heard.

When a station start s broadcasting the programme you have selected, this unit automatically switches to the station. The programme type (TA, NEWS or INFO) indicator starts blinking.

When the programme is ov er, this unit goes back to the curre ntly selected station, but still remains in EON Standby mode.

Case 2: If there is a station broadcasting the type of pro-

gramme you have selected

This unit tunes to the station broadcasting the programme. The programme type (TA, NEWS or INFO) indicator starts blinking.

When the programme is ov er, this unit goes back to the curre ntly selected station, but still remains in EON Standby mode.

Notes:

• If the EON is in standby mode and the function ( CD, MD, TAPE/ AUX) switch is changed or the power is switched off, then the EON mode will be released. When the band is set to AM (MW/ LW), the EON is not activated. When the band is set to FM again, the EON will be set to standby mode.

• When the EON is being operated (i.e. the selected programme type is being received from the broadcast station) and if the DISPLAY MODE or

4, ¢ button is operated, the station

will not switch back to the current selected station even after the programme ends. The prog ra mme typ e ind ic ator re m a ins in the display, indicating that the EON is in standby mode.

• When the EON is in standby mode and a radio bro a dcast is being record ed , be ca re fu l be ca us e th e EON ma y be act iv ate d an d a different programm e than the int ended o ne may be rec orded. When the EON mode is not required, release the EON mode.

• When the alarm signal is detected b y EON, the station broadcasting the alarm is received with priority. “ALARM!” is not displayed.

CAUTION: When the sound alternated intermittently between the station tuned in by the EON function and the current selected station, cancel the EON mode. This does not constitute malfunction of the unit.

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 separat ely. 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

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 recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.

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

effective after the MD has been inserted.

■ The accidental erasure prevention knob is provided on the back

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

■ When you stick an adhesive label onto the MD cartridge , 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.)

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.)

You can record any sound source to an MD as fol lows.

■

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

■

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 sel ected source is recorded on the MD.

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

music calendar.

■ 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 in -

put noise is large, since it starts after detect ing the presenc e 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 20.)

■

5. Press the 7 button to stop recording.

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

• If the MD becomes full before pressing the

7 button, the

recording will be terminated after indicating “UTOCwriting”.

Checking the Remaining Time of the MD ———————————————

Using the MD Player (Editing)

In addition to its recording and play functions, the MD Player comes with editing functions. You can divide, join, move, or erase the recorded tracks in the MD as required. Also, you can give a disc title to the MD and track titles to the tracks in the MD.

Dividing tracks (DIVIDE function)

This involves adding a track mark (see Note) at some poin t during the track which is to be made into the start of an additio nal tra c k so that the original track is divided into two tracks.

Joining tracks (JOIN function)

This involves erasing a tra ck mark and turn ing t wo adj oining tra ck s into one track.

Moving tracks (MOVE function)

Tracks can be moved around so that they are in the desired sequence.

Erasing tracks (ERASE function)

This enables unnecessary tracks. Narration, etc. to b e erase d spee dily. The erased parts do not remain as silences but are closed up by the subsequent tracks.

Erasing all the tracks (ALL ERASE function)

All the tracks can be erased at once without recording fresh material over them.

Giving titles to discs and tracks (TITLE function)

A title consisting of up to 6 4 cha ra cters c a n be g iv e n t o a disc an d a track. The title given appears in the display window.

Note: Track marks These marks are provided to locate the start of each track. Whatever lies between one track mark and the next is considered to a track and the numbers of the tracks (called “track n umbers”) are displayed in the sequence in which they are to be played.

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, sma ller than a CD sing le. The disc sits inside a 68

72 mm cartridg e, which al so being pocke t 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 worr y about scratch es 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 cannot be done. Like a CD, data is recorded based on the prese nce or a bsence of small indenta tions called pits. A disc recorded with this format is called an “opt ic al disc.”

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 can b e done aga in and agai n. By us ing 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 meth od are called magneto-optical (MO) discs.

ATRAC (Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding)

Within recordings, there are soun ds which cannot be readily heard. For example, as the volume decreases, high-pitched sounds and low-pitched sounds beco me dif ficu lt to hear . Also , if a quie t sou nd comes at the same time as or just after a loud sound, it will not be heard. With minidiscs, data is com pressed using a technology ca lled ATRAC (Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding) which selectively chooses sounds based on human sense of hearing characteris tics. 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 prope rly 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 sound which is actually delivered.

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 track ord er are list ed. When mu sic search is done, the UTOC is consulted, and the tracks are quickly found and played back. W hen editing is done, only the UTOC is changed, so there is no need to re-rec ord t he tracks.

Minidisc Limitations

The minidisc records inform atio n in an original format that differs from that of co nv entio na l c assette t ap es or DATs. Sin ce th ere are some limitations with this recording format, the following types of conditions may arise. These conditions are not malfunctions.

Message Meaning Action

BLANK DISC

A disc has been inserted with nothing recorded on it.

Except when making a new recording, replace the disc with one which has been recorded on.

CANNOT JOIN

You have tried to join tracks which cannot be joined.

This is a limitation of the minidisc system. See “Minidisc limitations” below.

DISC ERROR

There is a problem (damage) with the disc. Replace the disc.

DISC FULL

There is not enough space left on the disc. There are over 254 tracks.

Replace the disc with another recordable MD.

DISC PROT ECTED

The disc is in accidental erasure protection mode.

Slide the accidental erasure protection tab . (So that the hole is covered.)

EMERGENCY STOP

A malfunction occurred during recording. Stop the disc by pressing the

7 button and

redo the operation.

MD NO DISC There is no disc in the unit. Insert a disc in to the unit.

NON AUDIO

CANNOT COPY

You have tried to digitally dub a CD-ROM. Stop recording.

PLAYBACK MD

You have tried to record or edit on a playbackonly disc.

Replace the disc with a recordable MD.

TRACK

PROT ECTED

The track is protec ted. This unit cannot undo track protection. Undo

the protection using th e a pplia nc e th a t c reate d it.

SCMS

CANNOT COPY

You have tried to make a copy of a copy by digital dubbing.

Dub using analog input (LINE IN).

DIGITAL IN

UNLOCK

The digital cable is disconnected. Connect the digital cable securely.

LOAD ERROR

MD is not correctly loaded. Disconnect the AC power cord and reconnect

it after a little while. Then, press the MD 0 button.

Condition Cause

“DISC FULL” is displayed, even though the possible recording time is not used up.

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.

“DISC FULL” is displayed, even though the number of tracks and recording time are not at the limit.

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, whe n these divided parts become nu merous, the “DISC FULL” message ma y be displayed. When a part of 8 seconds or less is created by division, that track cannot be joined by the JOIN functio n, a nd even if it is erased, the remaining usable time on the disc does not increase. Tracks divided into small pieces may skip when fast forward or fast rewind is done.

The JOIN function sometimes does not work.

The remaining usa ble time on the disc does not increase even when tracks are erased.

The sound skip during fast forward or fast rewind.

The amount of recorded time on the disc added to the amou nt of remaining time falls shout of the disc’s total possible recording time.

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.

Rules of Digital Dubbing

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

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.

It may be unlawful to reco rd or pla y back c op yrighted material without the consent of the copyrigh t ow n er.

Care And Maintenance

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

Compact Discs

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

• 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 su r f 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.

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.

Moisture Condensation

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 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.

General Notes

In general, you wil l 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.

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