•Stop the recorder before replacing the battery.
•When using a 1GB Hi-MD disc, the
continuous recording time may be shortened if
you repeatedly make short recordi ngs.
•When you use the radio, it is reco mmended
that you use a new alkaline dry battery since
more power is consumed by the radio than by
MiniDisc playback.

If the recording does not start
•Make sure t h e recorder is n o t locked (pag es

•Make sure the disc is not record-protected
(pages 20, 82).
•Premastered discs cannot be recor de d over.
Notes
•When you record on a 1GB Hi-MD disc,
connect the AC power adaptor to the recorder
or use a new alkaline dry battery (battery level
indication shows ). When you attempt to
start recording on a 1GB Hi-MD disc,
“NotENOUGH POWER TO REC” may
appear and recording cannot be done even if
the battery level indi cation sho w s sufficient
remaining power while the recorder is stopped
or playing. This is because of a mechanism
that disables recording when the remaining
battery power is estimated by the recorder to
be insufficient due to the high power
consumption required for 1GB Hi-MD disc
recording.
•Before making a recording while using the AC
power adaptor, always insert a new alkaline
dry battery into the recorder f irst to ensure th at
the recording operation com p letes
successfully.
•Make sure to place the recorder at a stable,
vibration-free place during record i n g.
•If you start recording when the disc indication
is still rotating in the display, the first few
seconds of the material may not be rec or de d.
Make sure that the disc indication has stopped
rotating before you start recording.
•Do not change the dry battery durin g
operation even if the recorder is connected to
AC power adaptor. The operation may stop.
•Do not move or jog the recorder or disconnect
the power source while recordi n g or
“SYSTEM FILE WRITING” is flashing in th e
display. If you do, the data recorded up to that
point may not be recorded to the disc , or data
on the disc may be damaged. “SYSTEM FILE
WRITING” flashes while data of the
recording (the track’s start and end points,
etc.) is being recorded.
•Recording cannot be done when the disc does
not have enough space for recording.
•If the power supply is disrupted (i.e. the
battery is removed or becomes exhausted or
the AC power adaptor is disconnected) during
a recording or editing operation, or while
“SYSTEM FILE WRITING” appears in the
display, then it will not be possible to open the
lid until power is restored.
•Note the following when recording from a
portable CD player:
—Some portable CD players may not be
capable of digital out when the AC power
adaptor is disconnected. If this is the case,
connect the AC power adaptor to the
portable CD player and use it on AC power
as the power source.
—On some portable CD players, optical
output may not be possible when using an
anti-skip function (e.g., ESP* or
G-PROTECTION). If this is th e c ase, turn
off the anti-skip function.

•The recorder is factory set to make a new
group whenever recording is done. If you do
not want to make a group, set “:REC” to

disc, pause the recorder at the desired point,
and then start recording from that point.

Notes
•The radio will not operate if the remote
control is not connected to the record er.
•The volume of radio and MiniDisc can be
adjusted individually using the supplied
remote control.
•Playback or recording stops when you use the
radio.
•There is a DC-DC converter attached to the
remote control cord.
•Do not place the remote control close to
another electronic device, such as the recorder
itself, another radio, a TV, a mobile phone, or
a computer, as this may cause noise in the
reception.
•When you use the radio, it is reco mmended
that you use a new alkaline dry battery since
more power is consumed by the radio than by
MiniDisc playback.
•If you turn on the radio while the record er is
off, the radio will not begin operating
immediately even when “QuickMode” is set
to “Quick On”.
When listening to an AM program, keep the
remote control awa y from the DC-DC
converter, otherwise, noise may be heard.
