A tip for use of the tape counter
The tape counter is set to “0000” when a cassette tape is
loaded. By writing down the counter reading in case you
want to interrupt recording (playback) in the middle of
the tape, the memo will be helpful as a reference for locating the same position when continuing the recording
(playback) the next time. The tape counter figure decrements during recording or playback of the back side (while
the 2 tape transport indicator is lit). To set the tape
counter to “0000”, open the cassette holder once. Then
the counter will be reset.
Do not use a cassette with more than 90-minute recording time, for the tape used with such a cassette
is very thin and tends to cause troubles such as entanglement around the pinch roller or cutting of
tape.

marking on the label surface.
DIGITAL AUDIODIGITAL AUDIO
Never play a cracked or warped disc
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed in the player.
Therefore, to avoid danger, never use a cracked or deformed
disc or a disc repaired with tape or adhesive agent.
Please do not use discs which are not round because they
may cause a malfunction.
Disc accessories
The disc accessories (stabilizer, protection sheet, protection ring, etc.) which are marketed for improving the sound
quality or protecting discs as well as the disc cleaner should
not be used with this system because they may cause
malfunction.
As the Mini Disc is accommodated inside a cartridge, it can be handled without caring about dust or fingerprint.
However, stained or soiled cartridge may cause malfunction. To enjoy beautiful sound for extended period of
time, take care on the following points.
Do not touch the disc directly.
Do not touch the disc by opening the shutter with your
hand. The cartridge will be damaged if it is forced open.
Care
Wipe periodically dust and dirt attached on the cartridge
with a dry cloth.
Write protect tab
To protect recorded contents against accidental erasure,
set the write protect tab of the disc open. Return the tab
to the original position when you want to record signals on
the disc.
Disc back side
Storage position
Do not leave Mini Discs in place where the temperature
and/or humidity are extremely high (for example, in a
place subject to direct sunlight).
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.

Symptoms related to MD standard
Symptom
“DISC FULL” is displayed while the disc still
has a remaining recordable time.
In case of difficulty
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 possible recording time does not increase
even when a short track is erased.
Tracks can not be connected.
The time which has been recorded on the MD
and the remaining time do not add up to the
maximum recording time (60 or 74 min.).
When search is performed in a track which has
been compiled by editing, the sound is some-
times interrupted.
The track numbers are not assigned correctly.
“READING” is displayed for an abnormally
long time.
The time display becomes inaccurate with a
monaurally recorded disc.
Input of 1792 title characters is not possible.
÷ When the remaining time of the entire disc is less than 12 sec, the
remaining time indication on the display becomes “0:00”. When the total
time of the deleted tracks exceeds 12 sec, the display changes to the
recordable time.
÷ When a short track is deleted on a repeatedly edited disc, the remaining
time may not increase.
÷ Connection of the track resulting from edit processing may not be
possible.
÷ As recording is executed with 2 sec. as the minimum unit, the display time
may not coincide.
÷ This derives from the restriction in the MD system standard and not a
malfunction.
÷ Depending on the contents of the recorded source (CD etc.), the track
numbers may not be assigned correctly.
÷ When a new recordable MD (with nothing recorded) is inserted,
“READING” is displayed longer than usual.
÷ Monaural recording and stereo recording are executed according to
different formats. This is not a malfunction.
÷ The title recording area is used in units of 7 characters, so that input of
1792 characters may not be possible.
