Special feature
This unit is audio equipment based on the Mini Disc format. The Mini Disc (MD) is an application of the optical
and magneto-optical technology and has the capability to record signals on discs.The operability of the MD is
equivalent to the Compact Disc (CD). The MD uses optional non-contact system so the recordings are not
degraded by eternal factors and the discs are never scratched or damaged in playback.
Convenient title search
After recording of music tracks on a Mini Disc, their title can
be registered additionally. Once the titles have been registered, the desired music tracks on the Mini Disc can be played
by referring to the display, not the record jacket, etc.
High-quality playback/recording
This unit incorporates a high-performance, 1-bit DAC for
playback with a high sound quality. Digital recording with a
high sound quality is also possible thanks to the optical input
jack.
7
Simplified CD recording (O.T.E.)
Convenient editing features
CD-TEXT display
When this unit is combined with the CD player (DP-SE7 or DPSE9), the O.T.E. (One Touch Edit) function allows to record
desired tracks with a one-touch operation.
The contents of the disc recorded by yourself can be edited
as you need.
¶ Reordering tracks
: The order of tracks can be changed by moving them as desired.
¶ Dividing a track
: A single track can be split into two by inserting an additional track
number.
¶ Combining two tracks
: Two tracks can be merged into a single track by deleting a track
number.
¶ Erasing tracks
: Music tracks or an entire disc you do not want to listen to can be
erased, or all titles are erased.
When used in combination with a CD player (DP-SE7 or DPSE9), the text information (disc and track titles) can be
displayed on the side of this unit. Depending on the type of
characters, display may not be possible.

Safety Precautions
Before operation
DM-SE9(En)
Installation position
The MD recorder is very sensitive to vibrations. It should
be installed in a position subject to as small vibration as
possible.
Dust countermeasure
The shutter of the disc cartridge is permanently open
while the disc is loaded in the set. Therefore, to prevent
dust from penetrating inside the disc, take the disc out of
the unit immediately after completion of recording or
playback.
WARNING NOTICE:
IN MOST CASES IT IS AN INFRINGEMENT OF COPYRIGHT TO MAKE COPIES OF TAPES OR DISCS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF THE COPYRIGHT OWNERS. ANYONE WISHING TO COPY COMMERCIALLY
AVAILABLE TAPES OR DISCS SHOULD CONTACT THE
MECHANICAL COPYRIGHT PROTECTION SOCIETY
LIMITED OR THE PERFORMING RIGHTS SOCIETY LIMITED.
Memory backup
The memory storage is held for about a day after the
power cord has been unplugged from the power outlet.
In case the power supply has stopped or the power cord
has been left unplugged for an extended period of time,
the information related to recording and editing (recorded at the moment a Mini Disc is ejected) may be
cleared or destroyed before it is recorded on the disc.
The lost information cannot be recovered later.
To ensure the recording of the recording and editingrelated information on the Mini Disc, be sure to eject the
Mini Disc after every recording or editing operation.

What is CD-TEXT?
CD-TEXT is a standard for display of character information (disc name, track titles, artist names, etc.) recorded
on a CD in addition to the music. When this unit and a CD
player (corresponding to CD-TEXT) are connected by
digital connection, the CD character information can be
copied to the MD.
However, as of 1997, some CDs contain a copy prohibition code, so that the character information can not be
copied. In such a case, the character information will be
displayed on the screen, but it can not be copied.
“CD text edition” operation becomes possible for CDs
without copy prohibition code. i
Beware of condensation
When water vapor comes into contact with the surface
of cold material, water drops are produced.
If condensation occurs, correct operation may not be
possible, or the unit may not function correctly.
This is not a malfunction, however, the unit should be
dried.
(To do this, turn the POWER switch ON and leave the unit
as it is for several hours.)
Be especially careful in the following conditions:
¶ When the unit is brought from a cold place to a warm
place, and there is a large temperature difference.
¶ When a heater starts operating.
¶ When the unit is brought from an air-conditioned place
to a place of high temperature with high humidity.
¶ When there is a large difference between the internal
temperature of the unit and the ambient temperature,
or in conditions where condensation occurs easily.
Handling of Mini Disc
Before operation
DM-SE9(En)

MD system
The Mini Disc system has the features as summarized in the following.
1 Like CD (Compact Disc), playback can be started from any position. (Random access)
2 It uses a disc with a diameter of 64 mm that is accommodated in a cartridge.
3 Two types of discs can be used. (playback only discs, recordable / playable discs).
4 Up to 74 minutes of recording or playback is possible using high-efficiency coding technology.
5 Countermeasure against vibration is taken using semiconductor memory chip.
Playback-only Mini Disc
This type of MD can be used only for playback, and is used by the commercially-available music MD software packages.
The playback-only MD is an optical disc like the Compact Disc (CD). The signals are recorded as the presence or absence
of small pits and read out by an optical, non-contact pickup.
DM-SE9(En)
Recordable Mini Disc
This MD is a magneto-optical disc which can be recorded by magnetic field modulation. To record signals, laser light is
irradiated from the bottom side of the magneto-optical disc and magnetic field is applied from the upper side of it.
MD system
DM-SE9(En)
High-efficiency coding technology “ATRAC” (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding)
The Mini Disc has only a half the size of the Compact Disc but provides the same recording time. This is made possible
by ATRAC*, a newly developed high-efficiency coding technology.
The ATRAC compresses the music data to about 1/5 the amount of data which would be obtained with conventional
technology, by cutting off the sound components which do not pose problem in audition even when they are not present.
This has made it possible to record or play up to 74 minutes.
