Precautions

English

1. Safeguarding against electric shocks, fire hazards and damage

1) A very low current will still flow even when the POWER button is set at STANDBY. To save power and ensure safety when the unit is not going to be used for an extended period of time, disconnect the power cords from the household AC outlet.

2) Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

3) To unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, always take hold of the molded plug part and pull the plug free rather than pulling the cord.

4) If the power cord is damaged or found to have a disconnected wire or a contact failure, consult your dealer.

5) Do not bend the cord at a sharp angle, and do not pull or twist it.

6) Do not modify the power cord in any way.

7) Do not remove the screws in order to disassemble the unit, and do not touch any of the parts inside the unit.

8) Do not insert metallic objects into the unit.

9) Unplug the power cord if there is a chance that lightning may strike.

10) If water should find its way inside the unit, unplug the power cord from the outlet, and consult your dealer.

11) Do not install the unit in a poorly ventilated location.

2. Installation

1) Avoid placing the unit on or adjacent to an amplifier: this is to prevent the humming caused by the unit’s proximity to some types of amplifiers. Move the unit where it will not be affected by the amplifier.

2) Avoid installing the unit where the ambient temperature will exceed 35 °C (95 °F) (namely, in direct sunlight, near a heating appliance, etc.) or drop below 5 °C (41 °F), where it it is very humid or dusty, or where the unit will be subject to vibration.

3) The unit may not function properly if it is moved suddenly from a cold place (0 °C (32 °F)) to a warm place since condensation may form inside the unit. In such a case, leave the unit standing for about 30 minutes, after which time it should function properly.

3. Cleaning the cabinet

Never use benzine or paint thinners to clean the cabinet as they may mar the unit’s surface finish.

How to use the remote control correctly —————————

• Point the remote control correctly at the remote control sensor on the main unit, and press the buttons.

• The remote control can be operated at a distance of up to 7 meters or so from the remote control sensor. This distance will be less if the remote control is operated from a position which is not directly in front or on the same level as the main unit.

When the distance over which the remote control can be operated starts to drop, it means that the batteries are nearing the end of their service life. Replace both batteries (size “AAA”, R03 or UM4 alkaline batteries) with fresh units. The dry batteries provided with the unit are for operational check purposes. Replace them with fresh units at the earliest opportunity.

When installing the dry batteries, ensure that the and polarities are aligned correctly with the markings. Do not drop the remote control or subject it to strong impact.

I In order to ensure that the remote control does not fail to operate, avoid operation under the following

conditions:

• When the remote control sensor is exposed to direct sunlight or other intense sources of light

• When objects in front of the remote control sensor block the transmission of signals from the

remote control

If you set the volume on the basis of the level of the noise heard during the intro as you might with an analog record, an unexpectedly loud sound may be delivered as a result. Before turning off the power, turn down the volume to prevent this from happening. If, in step 2, the CD1 button is pressed first while the CD tray is open, the CD tray will close, and play will start from the first track on that CD. Storing CDs

• Always ensure that each CD is stored in its own case.

• Do not place CDs in direct sunlight, near a heating appliance or any other location which is susceptible to high temperatures.

If cellophane tape, an adhesive sticker or some other form of glue is present on the label side, clean it off before use.

- Do not stick adhesive labels or write anything on a CD.

- Do not bend CDs.

- Do NOT insert shaped CDs, such as CDs in a heart, flower or other shape, because their shape does not match the shape of the CD tray, and using them will give rise to malfunctioning.

COMPU LINK Function

English

• What is COMPU LINK?

The COMPU LINK remote control system (or, simply, “COMPU LINK”) serves to enable the kind of simple operations provided by an integrated component to be conducted even though this unit is a discrete component. These simple operations can be performed by connecting the COMPU LINK-3 SYNCHRO or COMPU LINK-1 SYNCHRO connector on each of the components involved.

Connections

TEXT COMPU LINK Control System

This system transfers text information back and forth between the individual components of an audio system, and it enables CD text and MD text information to be displayed on the receiver (or amplifier) or on the TV screen, in which case it uses the on-screen display function of the receiver (or amplifier). The following operations can be performed by connecting the unit using the TEXT COMPU LINK function.

• Tracks can be selected by checking their disc and track titles displayed on the TV screen.

• Disc or track titles can be input for recording MDs using the TV screen.

• When recording material from a CD which supports the CD TEXT function to an MD, the CD TEXT track title information is recorded in its original form onto the MD.

Information on MDs (Minidiscs)

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.

English

Function of the cartridge

The diameter of the actual disc is 64 mm, making it slightly smaller than CD singles. Each disc is housed in a cartridge. The pocketsize cartridge measures 68 x 72 mm and is 5 mm thick. It is easy to carry about and store. Since the disc is protected by the cartridge, it is kept free from dust and dirt, and there is no danger of the disc being scratched or exposed to fingerprints due to the shutter which is closed at all times except while the disc is being used. All in all, these features make the minidisc extremely easy to use.

Cartridge

Disc

Shutter

Two types of discs available

MDs come in two types: the recording MD which can be used for recording, and the play-only MD which can be used for playback only. Both types use the same system for playback: a laser beam is directed onto the disc and the signals are read out by its reflection. However, the system for recording is different.

Play-only MDs

This type of MD is used for pre-recorded MDs available on the market. It cannot be used for recording. As with CDs, data is recorded by the presence or absence of small indentations called pits. A disc with this kind of recording system is called an “optical disc.”

SOUND

ATRAC (Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding)

Sound contains some elements which are not actually very audible. For instance, when the sound is soft, it is hard to hear the bass and treble. Also, during or immediately after a passage of loud sound, soft sounds cannot be heard even though they may be there. A technique called ATRAC (Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding) is used with MDs to select or dispense with sounds on the basis of our acoustic characteristics so that the data is compressed into a small quantity. It compresses the data to be recorded into about one-fifth of the original data so that it can be stored even on a small-size MD.

Sound jump guard memory

When an MD is played, a function (sound jump guard memory) operates to store the data of the track being played instantly in a memory to prevent jumps in the sound due to vibration. When the disc signals cannot be read by the optical laser because of vibration, the function uses the data in the “sound jump guard memory” to ensure that there are no breaks in the sound actually heard.

Optical pickup

STOP

Play-only MD

Recording MDs

This is the “blank” type of MD which can be used for recording. Its data is recorded using magnetism which is easily processed so that recordings can be made again and again. By using a laser beam to heat spots on its surface to cancel out the magnetism, the data is recorded using a magnetic head. A disc with this kind of recording system is called a “magneto-optical disc.”

UTOC (User Table of Contents)

In addition to the data of its tracks, a recording MD comes with the UTOC contents facility. This records the position of each track, the breaks between the tracks, the track sequence, etc., and tracks can be searched quickly by viewing these contents. During editing, all that changes is the UTOC contents: the tracks themselves need not be rerecorded.

MD (Minidisc) Error Messages

Error message

MD BLANK DISC

CANNOT JOIN

DISC ERROR DISC FULL

DISC PROTECTED

EMERGENCY STOP

MD NO DISC NON AUDIO CANNOT COPY

PLAYBACK DISC

TRACK PROTECTED

SCMS CANNOT COPY

Significance

An MD with nothing recorded on it has been inserted.

An attempt has been made to join tracks which cannot be joined.

Trouble with MD (damage). The MD does not have enough available

time. The track number has exceeded 254. The MD has been set to the accidental

erasure prevention mode. An error occurred during recording.

An MD has not been inserted. An attempt was made to digitally copy a

CD-ROM (or video CD, etc.). An attempt was made to record or edit a

play-only MD. The track is protected.

An attempt was made to digitally record a digitally recorded source.

Remedy

Replace with a pre-recorded MD unless something is to be recorded onto the blank MD.

This is due to limitations on the MD system. (See page 54.)

Replace the MD. Replace with another recording MD.

Slide the MD’s accidental erasure prevention knob so that the hole is blocked.

Stop operation by pressing the 7 (stop) button, and perform the operation again.

Insert an MD. Stop the recording.

Replace with a recording MD.

This cannot be released by this unit. Release it at the unit which originally protected the track.

Set to analog recording.

English

Restrictions Imposed by MDs (Minidiscs)

MDs use their own system to record information which is different from conventional cassette tapes and DAT tapes. This system has a

English

number of restrictions which sometimes give rise to the following symptoms. These symptoms do not, however, indicate that something is wrong with the product.

Symptom Cause

“DISC FULL” is displayed even though the recording time displayed for the MD has not been used up.

“DISC FULL” is displayed despite sufficient leeway in track numbers and recording time.

It is sometimes not possible to use the JOIN function.

The remaining time is not increased even though tracks are deleted.

The sound is sometimes skipped during rapid advance or rapid reverse operations.

The recorded time and the remaining time together do not equal the recording time displayed for the MD.

The number of tracks which can be recorded on an MD is limited, and this has nothing to do with the recording time. Track numbers 255 and above cannot be recorded.

When some of the MD recordings are erased and replaced with new recording repeatedly, empty areas are formed on parts of the disc. When a recording is made on this kind of disc, the data of a track is divided in bits and pieces among and recorded on these empty areas. When the number of these divided areas increases, “DISC FULL” may be displayed during recording. If the data is divided so that some parts are less than 8 seconds in length, it may not be possible to use the JOIN function to join the track concerned. In addition, the remaining time will not increase even if these parts are erased. The sound of tracks which have been divided up in bits and pieces and recorded may break up during rapid advance or rapid reverse operations.

Recording on an MD is not possible unless there are successive spaces at least 2 seconds in length. For this reason, a shorter recording time will be displayed for an MD with a large number of short empty areas.

Restriction on Copying Digital Material

Due to copyright and other considerations, the following restriction is now in place for MDs onto which the digital signals of CDs have been copied.

SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)

MDs can digitally record the clear sound of CDs. However, it is now not possible to copy the digital signals of an MD recorded in this way onto another MD using another unit. In other words, copies of copies cannot be made. This restriction is known as SCMS (Serial Copy Management System). This unit is designed to comply with this restriction.

DIGITAL

The copyright laws allow recordings to be made for the personal enjoyment of the individual user but they do not allow such recordings to be used for other any purposes without permission from the holder of the copyrights.

DIGITAL

MDs on which CD sound has been recorded using this unit cannot be digitally copied by other units.

• If the unit fails to operate properly even when the remedial action suggested above has been taken:

This unit uses a microcomputer to perform a large number of operations. If it fails to operate no matter which button is pressed, disconnect the power cord, and then wait a few moments before re-connecting it. Then set the time and re-program the timer.

If something important is going to be recorded, always test-record first to check that the recording turns out properly before proceeding with the actual recording. The manufacturer assumes no liability whatsoever for any damages resulting from missed opportunities while conducting recording, playback or CD play operations due to malfunctioning of or trouble in the unit, or for any incidental damage.
