IMPORTANT SERVICE NOTES

BEFORE RETURNING THE AUDIO PRODUCT

(Fire & Shock Hazard)
Before returning the audio product to the user, perform the following
safety checks.

1. Inspect all lead dress to make certain that leads are not pinched
or that hardware is not lodged between the chassis and other
metal parts in the audio product.

2. Inspect all protective devices such as insulating materials, cabinet,
terminal board, adjustment and compartment covers or shields,
mechanical insulators etc.

3. To be sure that no shock hazard exists, check for leakage current
in the following manner.

* Plug the AC line cord directly into a 120 volt AC outlet.
* Using two clip leads, connect a 1.5k ohm, 10 watt resistor paralleled

by a 0.15µF capacitor in series with all exposed metal cabinet
parts and a known earth ground, such as conduit or electrical
ground connected to earth ground.

* Use a VTVM or VOM with 1000 ohm per volt, or higher, sensitivity

to measure the AC voltage drop across the resistor (See diagram).

* Connect the resistor connection to all exposed metal parts having

a return path to the chassis (antenna, metal cabinet, screw heads,
knobs and control shafts, escutcheon, etc.) and measure the AC
voltage drop across the resistor.

MINIDISC SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

Even if the maximum recording time of a MiniDisc has not

been reached, "TOC FULL" may be displayed.

Even if the maximum recording time of a MiniDisc has not

been reached, "DISC FULL" may be displayed.

Even if several short tracks are erased, the remaining

recording time may not show an increase.

Two tracks may not be combined in editing.

The total of the recorded time and time remaining on a

disc may not add up to the maximum possible recording

time.

If recorded tracks are fast reversed or fast forwarded, the

sound may skip.

In the MD system, the delimiter of the recording area on an MD is programmed

in a TOC. If partial erasing, recording and editing are repeated several times,

TOC information will fill up, even though the number of tracks has not reached

the limit (255 tracks), and further recording will be impossible. (If you use the all

erase function, this MD can be used from the beginning.)

If there is any flaw on the MiniDisc, that part is automatically excluded from the

space available for recording. Therefore, the recording time becomes shorter.

When the remaining recording time of a disc is displayed, short tracks less than

12 seconds long may not be included in the total.

For MiniDiscs on which repeated recording and editing operations were per-

formed, the COMBINE function may not work.

A track recorded from a CD (digital recording) and a track recorded from a radio

or other equipment (analog recording) cannot be combined.

A cluster (about 2 seconds) is normally the minimum unit of recording. So, even

if a track is less than 2 seconds long, it will use about 2 seconds of space on

the disc. Therefore, the time actually available for recording may be less than

the remaining time displayed.

If there are scratches on discs, those sections will be automatically avoided (no

recording will be placed in those sections). Therefore, the recording time will be

reduced.

An MD which has been recorded or edited repeatedly may skip during fast reverse

or fast forward.

The sound level at a given volume setting

depends on a combination of speaker efficiency,

location and various other factors. It is advisable

to avoid exposure to high volume levels, which

can occur while turning the unit on with the

volume control setting up high, or while continu-

ally listening at high volume levels.

El nivel de sonido en una posición de volumen

fijado depende de una combinación del

rendimiento de las altavoces, la posición y varios

otros factores. Es aconsejable evitar un aumento

de volumen. Esto se produce, por ejemplo, al

conectar el aparato con el volumen puesto en

una posición alta. Evite continuar la audición

prolongada a altos niveles de sonido.
