WHAT IS Ahl MD (MINI DISC)?
An MD is only 64 mm (2 5/s inches) in diameter, about half the
size of a conventional CD. But MD can be used to store and play
back a full 74 minutes of data such as a CD. Unlike a CD, MD
comes in a plastic cartridge, so that it can be handled with ease.
The cartridge also protects the disc inside from shocks, dust
and scratches. Unlike cassette tapes, which can become
stretched or tangled, an MD is an excellent durable media.
THE LIMITATIONS OF MD
Recording on the MD is performed differently from that of a
cassette tape or a DAT. Therefore, the MD system is subject to
the following restrictions.
“TOC* Full” is displayed even if the recording time
does not reach the maximum recordable time of the
disc (60-minute or 74-minute).
“TOC Full” is displayed when 254 tracks are already recorded
a disc, without respect of the recording time.
on
TYPE OF MD
There are two types of MDs: “Optical discs” and “Magneto-optical
discs”. Both types use laser beams and optical pick-up technology
to read recorded data during playback.
Optical discs
These are playback only discs. Like CDs, they are used as
prerecorded music discs. You cannot record on or edit them.
+
Label
El
Recordable MO*’ discs
These are recordable discs which can be recorded on again and
again, like cassette tapes. The recording method called magneto-
optical technology employs a laser and magnetism to record
signals. Therefore, the quality of recorded sound does not
deteriorate even after many playbacks and recordings.

“TOC Full” is displayed even if a disc is not fully
recorded on.
If there are lots of emphasis data in a particular track, the unit
handles the data as index codes, and tracks are counted, in
addition, without respect of the time and number of tracks.
The remaining time on a disc is not increased even
after some short tracks have been erased.

The total of the recorded time and the remaining time
on a disc does not match with the maximum
recordable time of the disc (60-minute or 74-minute).
Recording is performed by the minimum unit of one cluster (two
seconds). Even if the recorded section is shorter than two
seconds, a two-second space is needed in recording. Therefore,
the available time becomes shorter. If there are scratches on a
disc, the available time becomes shorter as well, because the
sections which are scratched are automatically erased.

A newly developed digital audio compression technology called
the ATRAC system automatically extracts only the frequencies
that are actually audible to the human ear and cuts the
frequencies which are inaudible. This compresses the amount
of data to be recorded to 1/5 of the normal amount. The ATRAC
system is based upon studies carried out in the field of auditory
psychology and does not impair the quality of the audible sound.

Quick random access
One of the great features of the MD is that you can search for
desired tracks quickly. There are also quick and easy functions
for random playback in which the order of the tracks can be
rearranged at random, and for renumbering tracks which enables
them to be played in any order.
Track numbers may not be registered properly.
When recording from a CD through digital inputs (using the CD
> MD button), small tracks may be created depending on the
contents of a CD.
When using the AUTO MARK function, track numbers may not
be registered properly depending on the contents of the CD.
Digital inputs may not be acceptable.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Occasional care and maintenance of the unit and the software
are needed to optimize the performance of your unit.
To
clean the cabinet
Use a soft and dry cloth.
If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly
moistened with mild detergent solution. Do not use strong
solvents, such as alcohol, benzine or thinner as these could
damage the finish of the unit.
To
clean the heads and tape paths
After every 10 hours of use, clean the heads and tape paths
with a head cleaning cassette or cotton swab moistened with
cleaning fluid or denatured alcohol. (These cleaning kits are
commercially available.)
When cleaning with a cotton swab, wipe the recording/playback
head, erasure head, capstans, and pinchrollers.
Care of tapes
● Store tapes in their cases after use.
● Do not leave tapes near magnets, motors, television sets, or
any source of magnetism. This will downgrade the sound quality
and cause noise.
● Do not expose tapes to direct sunlight, or leave them in a car
parked in direct sunlight.
Care of MDs
Since MDs come in a cartridge which protects the discs inside
from fingerprints and dust, you do not have to be overly careful
when handling them. However, soiled or damaged cartridges
can lead to malfunctions in the unit. Observe the following tips
when handling MDs.
● Keep a cartridge in the attached case.
● Do not open the shutter of the cartridge to touch the disc directly.
If the disc inside becomes soiled, it is very difficult to clean.
The cartridge can also be damaged.
● Close the shutter if it opens while handling or ejecting a disc.
Otherwise dust may enter inside or a disc may become
scratched.

Cartridge
r
I
After cleaning the heads and tape paths with a liquid head
cleaning cassette, wait until the cleaned parts are completely
dry before inserting the tapes.
Care of CDs
● When a disc becomes dirty, wipe the disc from the center out
with a cleaning cloth.
● After playing a disc, store the disc in its case. Do not leave the
disc in places that are hot or humid.
