An MD recorder is standard equipment ™

An MD recorder with high digital sound quality is standard equipment. Digital copying from a CD is also easy. This recorder has many functions like recording and display of names for discs and titles, changing the sequence of tracks, etc.

Sampling Frequencies ª

This unit has a sampling rate converter corresponding to digital sources (32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz).

SRS 3D stereo system Á

This is an epochal system called Sound Retrieval System, which creates a three-dimensional sound space. The feeling of depth, the width of the sound field, the sound image positioning, etc. all are clearly improved, and the listening area also is widened. (Retrieval is used in the meaning of recovery or restoration.)

Convenient recording methods r

Various versatile recording functions are provided according to the use purposes. When the cassette deck X-H9 (sold separately, not sold in some areas or countries) is connected, edit recording to tape is also possible from other sources.

÷ One-touch edit : Recording of one CD or MD or one track by pressing a single key ÷ TWIN RECORDING function : Simultaneous recording of one CD to MD and tape ÷ BEST HITS function : Sequential recording of the first track of each CD onto MD or tape ÷ Program recording : Any desired tracks can be recorded in the desired sequence ÷ Time edit recording : Recording so that no track will be interrupted within the specified time (only

from CD to tape)

÷ Fade edit recording : Sequential recording from the first track (only from CD to tape)

Versatile tone and sound field adjustment ¨

The tone can be selected according to the genre of the music played :

ROCK, POP, DISCO, JAZZ, CLASSIC.

Convenient timer functions a

In addition to the possibility of storing up to 2 timer programs in memory, the following functions are available.

÷ AI timer : When the unit is turned ON by the timer, the sound level increases gradually. ÷ O.T.T. : A timer with easy setting, which operates only once. ÷ Sleep timer : Useful when you want to go asleep while listening to music.

Unpacking

Unpack the unit carefully and make sure that all accessories are put aside so they will not be lost. Examine the unit for any possibility of shipping damage. If your unit is damaged or fails to operate, notify your dealer immediately. If your unit was shipped to you directly, notify the shipping company without delay. Only the consignee (the person or company receiving the unit) can file a claim against the carrier for shipping damage. We recommend that you retain the original carton and packing materials for use should you transport or ship the unit in the future.

Handling of discs

Disc handling precautions

Before applying power

XD-9581MD (En)

Handling

Hold compact discs so that you do not touch the playing surface.

Label side Playing side

Sticker

Sticky paste

...........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Discs which can be played with this unit

CD (12 cm, 8 cm), CDV (only the audio part)

÷ With CD-G (CD Graphics) discs, this unit can play only the audio.

Do not attach paper or tape to either the playing side or the label side of compact discs. The paste left on the label surface after a sticker has been peeled off is a factor which may cause malfunction. If the surface is sticky due to remaining paste, be sure to clean it with alcohol before use.

CD accessories

The CD 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.

..........................

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 CD player and store it in its case.

Caution on disc used

Never play cracked or warped disc.

During playback, the disc rotates at high speed in the player. Therefore, to avoid malfunction, never use a cracked or deformed disc or a disc repaired with tape or adhesive agent.

Preparation section Basic section Application section Knowledge sections

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.

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.

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)
