What is auto power save function?
Auto power save function automatically adjusts the sound
skip memory storage to be from 5 to 10 seconds depending on playback conditions, this saves battery power. If
the MiniDisc unit is used in areas of much vibration, it
may be necessary to fix the sound skip memory to 10

of cars.)
2. When you restart the engine, playback starts from the
beginning of the stopped track.
„ Rechargeable battery
z
A rechargeable nickel-metal hydride battery is the only
kind that can be used. Even if the battery is not used,
you should charge it at least once every three months
because of the special quality of this battery.
z
The rechargeable battery can be charged approximately 300 times.
z
When the operating time is reduced to about half the
normal amount of time, even after a full charge is performed, replace the battery with a new one (ADN70BT).
z
When the battery is charged for the first time or is
charged after not being used for a long period, the
operating time may be shorter than normal. The battery life will recover with normal use i.e. charging and
discharging.
z
To avoid shortening the service life of the battery, only
recharge the battery after it has been completely discharged.
z
If the rechargeable battery is used in a cold environment, the operating time will be reduced.
z
Do not carry the battery in your pocket or a bag
together with metal objects (keys, coins, jewelry, etc.).
The battery may short out and generate significant
amounts of heat.
z
Do not short-circuit the ter minals as they will become
very hot and will damage the battery.
z
Do not drop or subject the battery to shock.
z
Do not insert objects (metal etc.) into the battery compartment of this product or into the rechargeable battery.

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.
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.
