■ Types of discs
There are two types of discs: playback-only and recordable discs.
● Playback-only MiniDisc:
This type of MiniDisc usually contains
commercially available pre-recorded
music. This is the same kind of optical
disc as CDs. Playback is performed
using an optical pickup.
(Recording and editing are not possible.)
There will only
be a shutter on
one side (the back).
● Recordable MiniDisc:
This is a “raw disc” on which recording
can be performed. This is a magnetooptical disc.
Recordings are made using a laser and
a modulated magnetic field. Repeated
recording is possible.
Shutters can be
seen on both
sides of this
type of disc.
■ To prevent recorded discs from being erased accidentally
Slide the accidental erase prevention tab,
located on the side of the disc, in the direction indicated by the arrow.
● The disc will then be protected against
accidental erasure.
● To add a recording to such a disc, slide
the accidental erase prevention tab
Protected against
accidental erasure
Notes:
● When making important recordings, it
is recommended that you use the AC
adaptor. A fully charged rechargeable
battery should be loaded into the unit.
Then, even if a power failure occurs,
the power source will switch over to the
rechargeable battery automatically.
● When using the rechargeable battery
or the alkaline batteries, if the headphones volume level is set to “0", the bat-
back to its original position.
tery consumption will be less than
when listening to the recording whilst it
is being made.
● Insert each plug firmly. If the connections are poor, the recording may not
be made properly. Always keep the
plugs clean. If the plugs are dirty, electrical noise may be recorded.

Recordings can not be made in the
following situations:
● Recording on a playback-only MiniDisc (commercially available music)
● If a Minidisc is protected against accidental erasure (page 12)
About the recording level:
● If the recording level is too low, the
playback sound volume may be too
low to hear well. If it is too high, the
playback sound may be greatly distorted. Since digitally recorded CDs
have a large dynamic range (the volume can vary tremendously from
very soft to extremely loud), do not
set the recording level any higher
than is necessary.
Precautions when recording:
● Do not jar or bump the main unit
whilst recording. Otherwise, the recording may be unusable.
To interrupt recording:
Press the 38 button whilst recording.
● The unit will enter the recording standby mode.
● To resume recording, press the 38
button again.
The track number will be increased by
one each time you interrupt a recording.
● Depending on the strength and type
of playback signal in the original recording, the new recording may not
begin or pause at the correct point
when in the synchro mode. If this
happens, try making a manual recording.
Precautions when inserting a MiniDisc:
● To insert a Minidisc, push on the
middle of the edge of the disc whilst
holding it parallel to the main unit.
● If any resistance is felt, do not try to
force the MiniDisc into the unit. It
may cause more problems. If resistance is felt, remove the MiniDisc
and try reloading it.
Notes:
● Whenever any button is pressed, the
remote control display will light for
about 4 seconds.
● The RECORDING button does not
light.
