Notes:

In monaural recording, the sound on the right and left channels is mixed even if the input source is in stereo. Although you can hear the stereo sound from the earphones, the recorded sound is monaural.

Tracks recorded in 2 times long recording and 4 times long recording modes cannot be played with the unit that does not support these modes. On such a unit, no soun d is heard. (The operation ma y vary depending on the unit .)

Tracks recorded in monaural cannot be played on a unit that does not support monaural playback.

About ATRAC

The ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding) system compresses the sound data into 1/5 by cutting out the inaudible sound. Since the sound is selected based on psychoacoustics masking, the sound quality is not impaired. This unit is equipped with the ATRAC3 compressing system that can reduce the sound data to 1/10 or 1/20 of its original size. By employing this system, 2 times and 4 times long recordings are enabled in stereo mode.

About the recording mode

You can select the recording mode from stereo recording, 2 times long recording, 4 times long recording, and monaural recording. Recordable time varies depending on the recording mode. If the tracks are recorded on an 80minute MiniDisc, its recording time changes as follows:

Indication Recording mode Recording

SP Stereo MAX. 80 min. LP2 2 times long (MDLP

LP4 4 times long (MDLP

MONO Monaural MAX. 160 min.

Caution for 4 times long recording (LP4)

Special compression methods are used to achieve 4 times long recording. This may cause some noise to be recorded occasionally. When the highest quality is required, stereo or LP2 recording is recommended.

About Net MD

What is a Net MD portable recorder?

The USB is adopted to ensure high compatibility of PCs and MDs. Audio data saved on the hard disk of a PC can be transferred to a Net MD-compatible recorder using the provided software "BeatJam". Not only the basic operations but also the title editing of audio data on an MD can be performed via the PC.

EMD service (Electronic Music Distribution)

-About Net MD-

PC hard disk (BeatJam)

Audio CD

USB connection

MP3, WA V type audio files

MD portable recorder compatible with Net MD

Digital audio data can be imported into the hard disk of a PC in the following methods:

Converting the music downloaded via the music distribution service on the Internet into ATRAC3 of the OpenMG system.

Recording an audio CD via the CD-ROM drive of a PC on the hard disk. (Compressing data with the ATRAC3 sound compressing system)

Converting the existing MP3, WAV audio files into ATRAC3 of the OpenMG system.

The saved audio data can be played on the existing MD player, as its recording method is not changed when being recorded on an MD. (To play audio data saved in the MDLP mode, the MDLP-support MD player is required.)

All the audio data managed by "BeatJam" is encrypted by the OpenMG system and recorded on the har d disk of the PC, which prevents its unauthorised use or distribution.

Transferring audio data from a PC to MD portable recorder IM-DR410H (check-in/ check-out)

By using the provided software "BeatJam", you can transfer audio data from the hard disk of the PC to IMDR410H, the Net MD-support MD portable recorder.

"Check-out" is to transfer audio data from a PC to a Net MD-support MD por table recorder, and "check-in" is to return it from the recorder to the same PC.

Check-out

Check-in

Net MD-support MD portable recorder

Restrictions on check-in and check-out

One piece of audio data can be checked out up to 3 times (except for some pieces).

You cannot check out a track more than 3 times. However, if the track is returned to the PC once by using the check-in function, you can check out the same track again.

You c an check in the checked-out audio data to the same PC only. You cannot check it in to other PCs.

Restrictions on audio data

Along with the popularization of the music distribution service via the Inter net, high-quality digital music can be obtained easily, whereas some pieces are distributed with restrictions on the number of check-out or the recording/playback method to prevent infringement of copyrights caused by unauthorised distributions. This unit mounts the copyright protection technology to realise playback or recording in compliance with the will of the copyright owners. For details in possibilities and the frequency of audio data check-out to a Net MD-support device, contact respective music distribution service companies.

MiniDisc System Limitations

The unit may have the following symptoms whilst recording or editing. The unit is not out of order.

SYMPTOM LIMITATIONS

"DISC FULL" or "TOC FULL" appears even though the MiniDisc still has recording time left.

The remaining recording time does not increase even though you erased tracks.

The total of the recorded time and the remaining time does not match the maximum recordable time.

Combine function does not work.

Sound skips in fast reverse/forward.

A track number is created in the middle of a track.

More than 255 tracks (maximum) cannot be recorded regardless of the recording time. If the MiniDisc is recorded or edited repeatedly or if it has scratches (recording skips scratched parts), you may not be able to record the maximum tracks above.

The unit does not count non-recorded portions that last 12 or fewer seconds to display the remaining recording time. The time may not increase even if you erase short tracks.

One cluster (approximately 2 seconds) is the minimum unit for recording. For example, a 3-second track uses 2 clusters (approximately 4 seconds). Therefore, the actual recordable time may be shorter than the displayed time.

A MiniDisc on which recording and editing are repeated may not allow the combine function.

If one track is divided and recorded in separate places on a repeatedly recorded or edited MiniDisc, sound may skip.

A track number may be created if there are scratches or dust on the MiniDisc.
