Step 1: Hooking up the system (continued)

6 Turn the system upside down

holding the disc door with firm hand and set the speaker cord into a groove at the bottom of the system.

7 Connect the power cord to a wall

outlet.

If the plug of the power cord does not fit your wall outlet, detach the supplied adaptor from the plug (only for models equipped with an adaptor).

8 To use the remote, pull out the

insulating sheet to allow power to flow from the battey.

The remote already contains a battery.

Note on the glass over the display

The glass over the display window on the cover of the CMT-MD1/MD1DX is made of tempered glass. Under normal conditions, this tempered glass is more shock resistant and able to bear more weight than ordinary glass. This glass, however, may shatter if it receives a sharp blow or if it is scratched.

To detach the speakers (For CMT-MD1 only)

1 Slide the speakers in the opposite direction

of the arrows of the illustration in “Attach the speakers” (see step 2 -3 on page 5.)

2 After detaching the speakers, set the

speaker cords into the speaker cord groove at the bottom of the speaker. Otherwise, the speaker cord could be damaged.

Groove

Tip (CMT-MD1 only)

When using the system with the speakers detached, you may remove the four screws on both sides of the system. If you do, be sure to retain the screws for future use.

Note (CMT-MD1 only)

Do not attempt to lift up the system by the speakers. There is a chance the system will detach and drop. To move the system, detach the speakers first and carry them separately.

On placement

The system is equipped with a cooling fan on the rear panel. Do not block the rear and side ventholes. Keep a distance of 10 cm (4 in) or more between the back of the system and wall.

To replace the speaker grille (For CMT-MD1 only)

To remove the speaker grille, grasp one of the corners and lift the grille out towards you. You can replace the grille with one of the other supplied grilles of a different color. Verify which sides of the grille are rounded, then attach the grille with the rounded sides on the top and the bottom.

Replacing the battery in the remote

1 Slide out and remove the battery

case.

2 Insert a new lithium battery CR2025

with the + side facing up.

a lithium battery CR2025

To avoid battery leakage

If you are not going to use the remote 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.

Getting Started

3 Slide the battery case back in.

CAUTION

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

Battery life

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

Step 2: Setting the time

You must set the time before you use the timer functions.

The clock is on a 24-hour system for the European model, and a 12-hour system for other models. The European model is used for illustration purpose.

The AM tuning interval is factory-set to 9 kHz (10 kHz in some areas). To change the AM tuning interval, tune in any AM station first, then turn off the power. While holding down the FUNCTION button, turn the power back on. When you change the interval, all the AM preset stations are erased. To reset the interval, repeat the same procedure.

Tips

• The preset stations are retained for a day even if you disconnect the power cord or if a power failure occurs.

• You can create titles for the preset stations (see page 47).

• To improve broadcast reception, reorient the supplied antennas or connect the optional external antenna.

• When an FM program has static noise, press STEREO/MONO on the remote until “MONO” appears. There will be no stereo effect, but the reception will improve. Press the button again to restore the stereo effect.

The MD Deck - Playback

The MD Deck – Recording

Before you start

After recording

recording

MDs (Mini Disc) let you digitally record and play music with high quality sound comparable with the sound of CDs. Another feature of MDs is track marking. The track marking feature lets you quickly locate a specific point or easily edit the recorded tracks. However, depending on the source you record, the recording method varies. Also, the way the track numbers are recorded differs depending on the source.

When the source you record from is:

• This system’s CD player

– The digital signal from the CD is recorded

as it is (digital recording).*

– Track numbers are automatically marked

as on the original CD.

• This system’s tuner and other analog components

– The analog signal is converted to a digital

signal and recorded (analog recording).**

–A track number is marked at the beginning

of a recording, but when you turn on the Level Sync function (see page 35), track numbers are automatically marked in sync with the level of the input signal.

/ Press MD 6 to remove the MD or

press 1/u to turn off the system power.

“TOC” starts lighting or flashing. The MD recording is complete only after the recording information is entered to MD.

Note

The MD recording is complete only after all the recording information is entered to TOC at which point TOC stops flashing and goes out. Be careful not to disconnect the power cord or move the system before this point. Before disconnecting the power cord, do the following: – Remove the MD. – Press 1/u to turn off the system.

Protecting a recorded MD

• To protect a recorded MD, slide the tab on the side of the MD to open the slot. In this position, the MD cannot be recorded on. To record on the MD, slide the tab to close the slot.

Tab

* For details on the limitations for digital

recording, see page 54.

** This signal is converted because these systems do

not use digital signals.

Note on MD track numbers

On an MD, the track number (track sequence), track start and end point information, etc., are recorded in the TOC* area independent of the sound information. You can edit recorded tracks quickly by modifying the TOC information. * TOC: Table Of Contents

Slide the tab

• If the MD is record protected, “MD Protected” appears in the display and the MD cannot be recorded on. Slide the tab to closed position reinsert the MD and try again.
