Recording and track numbers

MD track numbers are used to search the beginning of a track or programming tracks.

÷ Track numbers are assigned automati-

cally in the following cases:

-

When the CD track changes during digital recording from CD to MD.

-

When audio is input after a no-sound period of more than 2 seconds.

-

When low-level sections have continued during recording of classic music, etc.

-

When the MD REC key is pressed in record-pause mode to resume recording.

÷ When the TRACK EDIT key on the re-

mote is pressed during editing, a new track number is assigned at that position.

÷ Unnecessary track numbers can be re-

moved by the following operations:

-

EDIT (page 42) for erasing unnecessary tracks.

-

COMBINE (page 39) for erasing an unnecessary track number by combining two tracks.

÷ The MD cannot be inserted or ejected while the

unit is in the STANDBY mode. Do not force insert an MD in the STANDBY mode, for this will lead to malfunction.

÷ When recording a CD onto an MD, the digital

recording is set automatically.

When recording a radio broadcast on an MD, the analog recording is set automatically.

÷ It is convenient to use the MD O.T.E. recording

when recording a CD onto an MD (page 18).

The MD records signals in two ways; "digital recording" for directly recording the digital signal output from the CD and "analog recording" for recording an analog signal by converting it to a digital signal.

In this case, leave the unit for a few hours and restart the operation after the condensation has dried up. Be specially cautious against condensation in a following circumsatance: When this unit is carried from a place to another across a large difference in temperature, when the humidity in the room where this unit is installed increases, etc.

Note related to transportation and movement

Maintenance of the unit

When the front panel or case becomes dirty, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use thinner, benzine, alcohol, etc. for these agents may cause discoloration.

In regard to contact cleaner

Do not use contact cleaners because it could cause a malfunction. Be specially careful not to use contact cleaners containing oil, for they may deform the plastic component.

Sticker

Sticky paste

Cleaning

If fingerprints or foreign matter become attached to the disc, lightly wipe the disc with a soft cotton cloth (or similar) from the center of the disc outwards in a radial manner.

Storage

When a disc is not to be played for a long period of time, remove it from the player and store it in its case.

Discs which can be played with this unit

CD (12cm, 8 cm) and the audio part of CDV, CD-G and CD-EXTRA. Use discs that comply with the IEC stan-

dard, for example a disc carrying the marking on the label surface.

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.

Knowledge section

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.

Handling of Mini Disc

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.

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.

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

Write protect tab

Slide open.

(Recording disabled)

Slide close. (Recording enabled)

÷ When a protected disc is inserted, "PROTECTED"

is displayed on the unit.

÷ When the inserted disc cannot be edited because

it is protected or it contains too small number of tracks, "

In case of difficulty

What seems to be a malfunction is not always so. Before calling for service, check the following table according to the symptom of your trouble.

Operation to reset

The microcomputer may fall into malfunction when a cord is unplugged and plugged again while the unit is ON or due to an external cause. In such a case, the microcomputer should be reset as described below:

Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet and, while holding the REPEAT key depressed, plug the power cord again. This initializes the microcomputer. Note that this clears the previously stored memory.

Common section

Symptom

Sound is not produced.

No sound from the headphones.

Noise interferes.

Remedy

= Increase the volume level (page 12). = Unplug the headphones if they are connected (page 9).

= Check if the headphone plug is inserted properly into the
