Notes on CD and the internal hard disk drive
Notes on discs
■ Notes on playing discs
Use the discs compatible with IEC standards such as the
CD with the logo (right) printed on it. You can also use
the CD-ROM containing MP3 audio data.
Do not play CD-ROMs intended for computer use or non-audio
compact discs. Doing so may cause high-pitched noises or other
unpredictable results that may damage speakers, amplifiers, and
other connected components.
Never use heart-shaped, octagonal, or other special shaped discs as
they may damage the internal mechanisms of the MB-S1.
■ Handling discs
Be careful not to touch the data side of the disc (the side that does
not have printing on it). Always hold discs by the edges or by using
the hole in the middle.
■ Cautions for disc storage
Do not store discs in locations exposed to direct sunlight, near heat
emitting devices, and other locations of excessive heat, or locations
of extremely low temperatures. Also, always store discs properly in
their protective cases.
Note on the internal hard disc drive
■ Do not shake or carry around the MB-S1
while playing the tracks recorded on the
hard disc drive. Doing so may damage
the internal hard disk drive.
Never place labels or stickers on the data side or label side of the
discs. Also, do not write on the discs or allow them to become
scratched.
■ Cautions when using rented compact
discs
Do not use discs that have cellophane tape attached to them or
rental compact discs that have rental labels attached. If the tape is
sticking out or peeling off, the disc may not be able to be ejected
and the MB-S1 may become damaged.
■ Cleaning
Dirt and contaminants on discs can obstruct the pickup of the
signals and lead to deterioration the sound. When dirty, clean the
data side with a soft dry cloth, wiping from the inside of the disc
toward the outside.
If the dirt is excessive, soak the cloth in water, wring it out, and
then wipe the disc surface clean. Next, using a soft dry cloth, wipe
the moisture form the disc surface. Do not use conventional record
cleaners or antistatic agents. Also, never use benzene, thinners, or
other volatile agents as they may damage the disc surface.
Condensation
When moving the MB-S1 from a cold location to a hot location,
when quickly heating a cold location with a furnace, or other
similar situation, condensation may occur. This may not only
cause improper operation of the device, but may also damage
the discs and components. If condensation has occurred, turn on
the MB-S1 and leave it running for 1 to 2 hours. If you will not
use the MB-S1, then eject any disc inside.
13
Rules for recording digital input
The digital source connected to the MB-S1 is protected by copy
guard systems.
These limitations are intended for protecting the copyright and
restricting the behavior which violates the copyright.
SCMS (Guide to the serial copy management system)
This system is designed for permitting only one generation of digitalto-digital copying (the recording of the original digital signals as they
are) between digital audio devices.
• The digital signals recorded on MD, DAT, CD-R, or CDRW from the digital output terminals on the MB-S1 cannot
be recorded on any other media digitally. Here are the
examples when performing digital recording in MD
recorder.
1. When the digital audio data from the MB-S1 is recorded as

Creating a play list
■ Understanding the indication on play
lists
When creating a play list
When you create a play list first time, “1P-New” appears.
“1P” means the first play list and “New” means that the play list
contains no track.
After second play list, the indication will be like “2P-New”.
“2P” means the second play list and “New” means that the play list
contains no track.
* If you delete a play list, the play list number is reserved until
other new play list is created. The renumbering for play list
number is not performed. When you create a play list next time,
the reserved play list number appears as a new play list number.
For example, if you have play lists No.1 through No.10 and
delete the play list No.3, when you create a play list next time,
“3P-New” appears.
When adding tracks to a play list
When you add a track to an existing play list, for example, the first
play list containing 5 tracks, the indication will be “1P-6T”.
“1P” means the first play list and “6T” means the position you are
going to add a track to. If you want to change the order of playing
tracks, change the track number.
* If you delete a track in a play list, the track number for the next
track of the deleted track is receded, and then the rest of the
tracks in the play list are renumbered accordingly. For example,
when you register 10 tracks (No.1 through No.10) in the first
play list and you delete the track No.3, the track No.4 is receded
to No.3 and the rest of the tracks in the play list is renumbered
accordingly, risulting in 9 tracks in the play list.
