Disc recorded in monaural mode
This unit is capable of playing a Mini Disc recorded in the
“monaural long-play mode.” As the “monaural long-play
mode” requires half the amount of data required for
stereo mode recording, the playing time (recording time)
of the disc is doubled (to max. 148 minutes) from that in
the stereo mode.

AUTO
If a no-sound input has lasted for the time set for the AUTO TIME function
during recording, the track number will be incremented automatically by
“1”. Usually, use this position for recording. Use this mode when
recording all of the tracks in a CD. When recording music containing a
continuous section with a very low level, for example when recording
classic music, the track number may be incremented by “1” after such
a section. In this case, cancel the track number later. It is recommended
to use the MANUAL mode when recording such a kind of music.
During digital recording of CD, the track number is incremented automatically by “1” according to the data contained in the digital information. The no-sound blank is not detected.
When the CD track number is increased during manual search of a CD,
the track number recorded on the MD may sometimes fail to be
incremented.
A no sound track may sometimes created at the moment the played CD
stops.
MANUAL
With this setting, the MD track number is not incremented automatically
during recording. Track numbers can be marked either during editing (by
pressing the EDIT key) or after recording (by executing the TRACK DIVIDE
operation
PAUSE functions work if the “AUTO CUT” and “REC AUTO PAUSE”
settings are turned on.
This setting is convenient when recording a CD which has been recorded in
live or which contains very low-level sound such as a classical music CD.

DIGITAL recording and SCMS
Note that the digital recording of Mini Discs is not possible in the following cases.
Note on the sampling rate converter
Three types of digital signals are usually used according to the sampling frequencies. The sampling frequencies vary
depending on the types of digital equipment as shown below.
48 kHz: Standard mode of DAT, B mode broadcasting of BS tuner, etc.
44.1 kHz : Standard mode of DAT, CD, MD, etc.
32 kHz: Standard and long-hour modes of DAT, A mode broadcasting of BS tuner, etc.
31
In general, high-quality recording based on digital signal transmission is available only when the sampling frequency of the
source equipment matches that of the recorder equipment. However, this unit incorporates a sampling rate converter so that
it can also record digital signals sampled at 48 kHz and 32 kHz by converting their sampling frequency into the sampling
frequency of MD (44.1 kHz).
The SCMS may be activated with certain type of satellite broadcasting.
(DAT: Digital Audio Tape deck)
SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)
Designed for copyright protection, the SCMS is a prescription that copying of digital signals as they are in the
digital form between digital audio equipment is allowable
only for one generation.
If the digital source has a copy prohibition code, “SCMS
ON” is displayed and the unit enters record-pause mode.

Use the following procedure to divide a track into two by inserting a track number in its middle. For example, by inserting an
additional track number before the passage you are specially fond of, it is easy to skip to there when you play the disc later.
Note that the track numbers of the tracks located after the divided track are automatically incremented.
The preview function allows to fine-adjust the track division point by playing the divided part repeatedly.

÷The first 3 seconds after the division point is repeated.
÷If preview is started at the end of a track, the preview continues till the
next track (the first track if it is started in the last track), but the part in
the next track cannot be divided by TRACK DIVIDE.
÷Fine adjustment is possible while monitoring the sound.
÷The dividing point can be fine-adjusted only in the forward direction
from the point where the EDIT / SPACE key was pressed initially, in 32
steps and for about 60 ms (6/100 sec.) per step.
It is recommended to start fine adjustment from slightly before the

In case of difficulty
DMF-5020/DMF-3020/MD-203 (En)
What appears to be a malfunction may not always be serious. If your unit should not perform as expected, consult the table
below to see if the problem can be corrected before seeking help from your dealer or service representative.
Operation to reset
51
The microprocessor may fall into malfunction (impossibility to operate
erroneous display, etc.) when the power cord is unplugged while power
is ON or due to an external factor. In this case, execute the following
procedure to reset the microprocessor and return it to normal condition.
Symptoms related to MD standard
Symptom
“DISC FULL” is displayed while the disc still has a remaining recordable time.
The recordable time does not increase after a short track has been
erased.
Tracks cannot be combined.
With the POWER key left to ON, unplug the power cord
from the power outlet then, while holding the eject (0)
key depressed, plug the power cord again.
÷Please note that resetting the microprocessor clears the contents
stored in, it returns the microprocessor to the condition when it left
the factory.
Cause
÷More than 255 tracks (track No. 256 or more) cannot be recorded. (There
may be also cases in which recording is impossible while the track
number is less than 256.)
In such a case, the REMAIN time display shows “0:00”.
÷The remaining time display becomes “0:00” when the actual total
remaining time of the Mini Disc is less than 12 seconds. The recordable
time display changes when the total time of the erased track exceeds
12 seconds.
÷When a Mini Disc has been subjected to repeated editing, the remaining
time may not increase even after a short track has been erased.
÷A track created as a result of an editing operation may sometimes be
impossible to be combined with another track.
The total of the recorded time and recordable time does not coincide
with the total recording time of the MD (60 or 74 min.).
Sound is interrupted when a track created by editing is subjected to
fast forward or fast backward operation.
Tracks are not numbered correctly.
The period in which “READING” is displayed is abnormally long.
The total number of characters used in the titles is less than 1792
characters.
÷As recording is performed on a minimum recording basis of 2 seconds,
the displayed time may not coincide with the consumed disc capacity.
÷Sound interruption may occur due to a combination of various factors,
and it is not a malfunction.
÷A short track may be created depending on the contents of the recorded
source (CD, for example).
÷“READING” is displayed for a longer period than usual when a brand-
new recordable Mini Disc (a virgin disc) is loaded.
÷The Mini Disc in use has been processed with repeated editing or
contains a large number of tracks.
÷As the title recording areas are used on a per-7-character basis, the total
number of input characters may be less than 1792.
