2 Prepare the remote control.

Pull the insulating sheet out from the remote control to prepare it for use. The remote control comes with a battery pre-installed.

Note

When using the unit for the first time, or after a long period of disuse, you need to charge the memory battery in the main unit. Wait about an hour after plugging in the mains lead for the battery to be fully charged (you can use the unit during this time). Afterwards, always turn off the power on the main unit before unplugging the mains lead. When the battery is charged, the unit's clock and timer information will be preserved for about 30 minutes when the unit is not supplied with power from a wall outlet. If the clock and timer information is lost, you will need to set the clock and timer again.

Replacing the battery in the remote control

As the battery wears out, the range at which the remote control will work will decrease.

When this happens, follow the procedure below to replace the battery with a new one. The battery should last about 6 months with normal use.

1 Slide out and remove the battery case.

2 Replace the battery with a new

CR2025 lithium battery, with the side marked + facing up.

3 Replace the battery case.

3 Connect the mains lead.

Back side of remote control

CR2025 lithium battery (not supplied)

CAUTION

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Battery life

You can expect the remote control to operate for about 6 months (using a Sony CR2025 lithium battery) before the battery runs down. When the battery no longer operates the remote, replace the battery with a new one.

To avoid battery leakage

If you are not going to use the remote control for a long time, remove the battery to avoid damage caused by corrosion from battery leakage.

Notes on lithium battery

•Keep the lithium battery out of the reach of children. Should the battery be swallowed, immediately consult a doctor.

• Wipe the battery with a dry cloth to assure a good contact.

• Be sure to observe the correct polarity when installing the battery.

• Do not hold the battery with metallic tweezers, otherwise a short-circuit may occur.

WARNING

Battery may explode if you mistreated. Do not recharge, disassemble or dispose of in fire.

Elapsed recording condition

Recording a whole CD (Synchronized recording)

Tips

• LP4 stereo recording uses a special compression technique to provide longplaying stereo recording. As a result, there is a chance that there will, on rare occasion, be some noise in the recorded audio when recording from some sources. For the best audio quality, we recommend using either the SP or LP2 recording mode.

• Adjusting the volume or the audio emphasis will not affect the recording level. Keep the volume at a moderate level so as to prevent the sound from skipping.

• When recording at normal speed, pressing DISPLAY will cause the total elapsed CD play time to be displayed.

About long-time recording (MDLP)

In addition to ordinary stereo recording, this unit provides the capability of recording two times (LP2) or four times (LP4) as much music on a disc.

Discs you record in LP2 or LP4 mode can only be played back in other MD equipment that supports the LP2 and LP4 modes.

Notes on high-speed recording

• You cannot record the same track(s) over and over again in high-speed recording mode. If you attempt to record a CD in high-speed mode, and some of the tracks on the CD have been recorded using high-speed mode in the previous 74 minutes, those tracks will be recorded using normal-speed mode, while the rest of the tracks will be recorded using high-speed mode.

• If recording is stopped while in the middle of recording a track using high-speed mode, that track will not be saved on the MD.

• High-speed recording mode cannot be used when recording from a CD-RW disc.

• If errors occur due to dirt or scratches on the CD when recording in high-speed mode, the recording will automatically shift to normal-speed mode.

continued

Recording a whole CD (Synchronized recording) (continued)

• Once the clock is set, the recording date and time are stamped automatically (page 42).

• You can also save the track names, disk name, and artist names while recording (pages 37 to 40).

Notes

• After you stop recording, do not disconnect the mains lead or move the player while “TOC EDIT” is flashing in the display.

If you do so, recording may not be done properly.

• You will not be able to play or edit discs recorded in LP2 or LP4 mode on MD equipment that does not support LP2 and LP4 modes.

About the Group function

The Group function allows you to gather multiple tracks recorded on a single MD into several groups for playback or editing. This makes it easy to, for instance, group together all the tracks on an MD by a particular artist, or recorded from the same CD album. You can create up to 99 groups on a single MD.

Precautions

On safety

• As the laser beam used in the CD player section is harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the casing. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the player, unplug the player, and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

• Discs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square, star) cannot be played on this player. Attempting to do so may damage the player. Do not use such discs.

On power sources

The player is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the mains, even if the player itself has been turned off.

Note on installation

If you use the player at a place subject to static or electrical noise, the recording may not be properly done or the recorded data may be lost. If you perform a check-out or check-in operation at such a place, the track’s check-out or check-in authorization may be lost.

On operation

• If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD player section.

Should this occur, the player will not operate properly. In this case, remove the CD and wait about an hour for the moisture evaporate.

• If the player has not been used for a long time, set it in the playback mode to warm it up for a few minutes before inserting a CD or MD.

On placement

• Do not leave the player in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock.

• Do not place the player on an inclined or unstable place.

• Do not place anything within 10 mm of the side of the cabinet. The ventilation holes must be unobstructed for the player to operate properly and prolong the life of its components.

• If the player is left in a car parked in the sun, be sure to choose a location in the car where the player will not be subjected to the direct rays of the sun.

• Since a strong magnet is used for the speakers, keep personal credit cards using magnetic coding or spring-wound watches away from the player to prevent possible damage from the magnet.

Notes on CDs

• Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the centre out.

• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as there can be a considerable rise in temperature inside the car.

• Do not stick paper or sticker on the CD, nor scratch the surface of the CD.

• After playing, store the CD in its case.

If there is a scratch, dirt or fingerprints on the CD, it may cause tracking error.

• This player can display the time up to 999 minutes 59 seconds. If the time is longer than this, it will be displayed as “- - - : - -”.

• Take out the MD and leave the player in a warm place for several hours until the moisture evaporates.

• The MD is inserted in the wrong direction. Slide the MD into the disc compartment with the label side right and the arrow pointing towards the opening until the player grips it.

• The MD may be blank (“Blank Disk” appears). Replace the disc with one that has been recorded.

• The Resume function may be enabled. Press RESUME / INTRO to until “Resume Off” appears in the display.

• Group mode may be turned on. Turn Group mode off and try playing again.

• The MD is record-protected (“Protected” appears). Close the record-protect slot.

• The track has been protected using another MD recorder (“Trk Protect” appears). Release the trackprotect on the same MD recorder that protected the track.

• The player is not connected properly to the sound source. Make connections properly to the sound source.

•A pre-mastered MD is inserted. Replace it with a recordable MD.

• There is not enough space left on the MD. Replace it with another recordable MD with enough space, or erase unnecessary tracks.

• There has been a power failure or the mains lead has been disconnected during recording or while “TOC Edit” is flashing. Data recorded to that point may be lost. Repeat the recording procedure.

• You may be attempting to use high-speed recording with a CD track that has already been recorded using high-speed mode in the previous 74 minutes (page

61).

• High-speed recording may not be possible because there is less than a track of free space on the MD (“Error” appears in the display).

• High-speed recording cannot be done from a CD-RW disc.

Troubleshooting (continued)

Problem

The recorded sound drops out Noise is heard

A track that should have been recorded using high-speed mode isn’t recorded

The disc can’t be edited on other MD equipment

Small burst of noise occur during recording

Using with your computer

Problem

The audio is weak or has poor quality

“NetMD OFF” or “USB 5 OFF” is shown in the display window

The main unit was not recognized when connected to the computer

Operation is unreliable

Possible solutions

• The sound was recorded at high volume. Record again at lower volume.

• The audio may have been recorded in high-speed mode from a dirty CD. Try recording again at normal speed.

• If recording is stopped partway through a track, that track will not be saved.

• The other MD equipment may not support stereo LP modes. Edit the disc on this unit, or on other MD equipment which supports stereo LP modes.

• When recording in stereo LP4 mode, small bursts of noise may be occasionally introduced for certain audio sources, as a result of the LP4 audio compression method. Try recording in stereo SP mode or stereo LP2 mode.

Possible solutions

• Set the computer audio volume to its maximum setting.

• The USB cable may be disconnected from either the main unit or the computer. Unplug and reconnect the USB cable securely.

• The USB cable may not be properly connected to the computer. Unplug and reconnect the USB cable securely.

• Install the SonicStage Ver. 1.5 software from the included CD-ROM. For details, see the “SonicStage Ver. 1.5” manual.

• You may have the unit and computer connected via a USB hub or extension cable. Operation cannot be guaranteed with such a connection. Connect the main unit and the computer using the supplied USB cable.

Timer and clock

Problem

Timer does not operate

Possible solutions

• Make sure the time on the clock is correct.

• Check to see if the AC power had been cut off.

• Make sure “TIMER” appears in the display.

• Check and change the preset start/stop time if both times are set to the same time.

Remote control

Problem

Remote control does not function

Operation may become unstable depending on the power supply or other causes because this player employs a microcomputer to link each operation.

If the player still does not operate properly after performing the above measures, while keeping x pressed on the main unit, press VOLUME –, HIGH SPEED REC, and VOLUME + in that order. (In this case, clock set or timer setting are reset to the initial settings. Set these items again if needed.) If the problem still persists, please consult your nearest Aiwa dealer.

Possible solutions

• Replace the battery in the remote control with new one if it is weak (page 6).

• Make sure that you are pointing the remote control at the remote sensor on the player.

• Remove any obstacles in the path of the remote control and the player.

• Make sure the remote sensor is not exposed to strong light such as direct sunlight or fluorescent lamp light.

• Move closer to the player when using the remote control.

Additional Information

Explanations

This section explains some of the terms related to MD technology that are used in this manual, and describes some limitations of the MD system.

TOC EDIT

“TOC” is an abbreviation for “Table Of Contents.” This is a special region on the MD that stores information other than audio data. This information includes things like which track number goes with which track, and where the tracks are actually located on the disc. If you think of the MD as a book, the MD’s TOC corresponds to the book’s table of contents or index. The MD recorder modifies the TOC when recording, saving or deleting track markers, moving tracks, etc. While writing the TOC, “TOC EDIT” is shown in the display. During this time, take care not to jar the player or turn off the power. Doing so may damage the TOC information, and may cause the disc contents to be lost.

MDLP

This unit supports the ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding) audio compression technology. In addition, it also supports ATRAC3. This newer technology applies psychoacoustic principles to cut out sounds that cannot be heard by the human ear, making it possible to compress audio data to about 1/10 its original size. This higher compression is used to enable recording times 2× and 4× longer than standard MD format. These new formats are called MDLP (MD Long-Play mode). An 80-minute MD can hold about 160 minutes of audio when recorded in LP2 mode, and about 320 minutes when recorded in LP4 mode.

Net MD

Net MD is a format based on OpenMG and MagicGate, which uses a high-level copyright protection scheme. It allows MD equipment to be connected to a personal computer via a USB (Universal Serial Bus) cable, and audio data to be transferred at high speed from the PC to the MD. The audio is recorded to the MD in the same format used by other systems, so ordinary MDs can be used with Net MD, and discs recorded using Net MD can be played by existing MD equipment.*

The SonicStage software application runs on the personal computer, and provides capability for various editing operations, as well as text entry capabilities.

* When recorded in LP mode, the discs can

only be played by systems that support MDLP.

System limitations of the MD

The recording system in your MiniDisc recorder is radically different from those used in cassette and DAT decks and the system has limitations described below. Note, however, that these limitations are due to the inherent nature of the MD recording system itself and not to mechanical causes.

“Disc Full” appears in the display even before the MD has reached the maximum recording time (60, 74 or 80 minutes).

When 255 tracks have been recorded on the MD, ”Disc Full” appears regardless of the total recorded time. More than 255 tracks cannot be recorded on the MD. To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks.

Some tracks cannot be combined with others.

Track combination may become impossible when tracks are shorter than 12 seconds.

The track recorded in stereo and that recorded in monaural cannot be combined.

The total recorded time and the remaining time on the MD may not reach the maximum recording time (60, 74 or 80 minutes).

Recording is done in minimum units of 2 seconds* each, no matter how short the material. The contents recorded may thus be shorter than the maximum recording capacity. Disc space may also be further reduced by scratches.

* During stereo recording. (approximately 4

seconds during monaural and LP2 stereo recording, or 8 seconds during LP4 stereo recording)

“Disc Full” appears in the display even before the MD has reached the maximum track number or recording time.

Repeated recording and erasing may cause fragmentation and scattering of data. Although those scattered data can be read, each fragment is counted as a track. In this case, the number of tracks may reach 255 and further recording is not possible. To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks.

The remaining recording time does not increase even after erasing numerous short tracks.

Tracks shorter than 12 seconds* are not counted, so erasing them may not increase the recording time.

* During stereo recording. (approximately

24 seconds during monaural and LP2 stereo recording, or 48 seconds during LP4 stereo recording)

The sound may dropout while fast-fowarding or rewinding the edited tracks.

Tracks created through editing may exhibit sound dropout during fast-forwarding or rewinding because high-speed playback takes time to search for the position on the disc when the tracks are scattered on the disc.

Guide to the serial copy management system

Digital audio equipment such as CDs, MDs, DATs, etc., copy music easily with high quality, for these products process music as a digital signal. The Serial Copy Management System allows you to make only a single copy of a recorded digital source through digital-to-digital connections because music programmes may be copyrighted.

This system is applied to this player.

Additional Information

You can make only a firstgeneration copy* through a digital-to-digital connection

That is: 1 You can make a copy of a digital sound

programme on the market such as CDs, MDs, etc., but you cannot make a second copy from the first-generation copy.

2 You can make a copy of a digital signal

from a digitally-recorded analog sound programme on the market such as an analog record, music cassette tape, etc., or from digital satellite broadcasts, but you cannot make a second copy.

Note

No restrictions apply when a digital signal is recorded as an analog signal (that is, when a digital signal is recorded through analog-to-analog connection).

*A first-generation copy is a digital recording of a

digital signal made on digital audio equipment through a digital-to-digital connection.
