Precautions
On safety
Oo not put anv toroign objects in the IX'
IN 6 Vj.uk.
On power sources
• Use house current, lithium ion
rechargeable battery, two LRb (size
AA) batteries, or car battery.
• For use in your house: Use the AC
power adaptor supplied with this
recorder. Do not use any other AC
power adaptor since it may cause the
recorder to malfunction.
Polarity of
the plug ^
• The recorder is not disconnected from
the AC power source (mains) as long
as it is connected to the wall outlet,
even if the recorder itself has been
turned off.
• If you are not going to use this recorder
for a long time, be sure to disconnect
the power supply (AC power adaptor,
dry batteries, rechargeable battery, or
car battery cord). To remove the AC
power adaptor from the wall outlet,
grasp the adaptor plug itself; never
pull the cord.
• For use in the car: Use the CPA-9 car
connecting pack and the DCC-E260 car
battery cord (not supplied).
On heat build-up
Heat may build up in the recorder if it is
used for an extended period of time. In
this case, leave the recorder turned off
until it cools down.
On the headphones

ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or
discontinue use.
Caring for others
Keep llie v olume at a mexierate level. This
will alUnv you to liear outside sounds and to
be considerate of the people around you.
On the MiniDisc cartridge
• Do not break open the shutter.
• Do not place the cartridge where it will
be subject to light, extreme
temperatures, moisture or dust.
On cleaning
• Clean the recorder casing with a soft
cloth slightly moistened with water or
a mild detergent solution. Do not use
any type of abrasive pad, scouring
powder or solvent such as alcohol or
benzene as it may mar the finish of the
casing.
• Wipe the disc cartridge with a dry cloth
to remove dirt.
• Dust on the lens may prevent the unit
from operating properly. Be sure to
close the disc compartment lid after
inserting and ejecting an MD.
On installation
• Never use the recorder where it will be
subjected to extremes of light,
temperature, moisture or vibration.
• Never wrap the recorder in anything
when it is being used with the AC
power adaptor. Heat build-up in the
recorder may cause malfunction or

Symptom
The recorder devs not tvork
or works prxirly.
No sound comes through
the headphones.
An MD is not played from
the first track.
Cause/Solution
• Audio sources may not be securely connected.
♦ Disconnect the audio sources once and connect
them again (pages 6,11)-
• Moisture has condensed inside the recorder.
Take the MD out and leave the recorder in a
warm place for several hours until the moisture
evaporates.
• The rechargeable battery or dry batteries are weak
(C3 or "LOW ВАТТ" flashes).
♦ Charge the rechargeable battery or replace the
dry batteries (pages 24, 25).
• The rechargeable battery or dry batteries have been
installed incorrectly.
♦ Install the batteries correctly (page 25).
• You pressed a button while the disc indication was
rotating quickly.
Wait until the indication rotates slowly.
• The recording volume is too low.
• The AC adaptor was unplugged during recording or
a power outage occurred.
• While operating, the recorder received a mechanical
shock, too much static, abnormal power voltage
caused by lightning, etc.
Restart the operation as follows.
1 Disconnect all the power sources.
2 Leave the recorder for about 30 seconds.
3 Connect the power source.
> The headphones plug is not firmly connected.
^ Connect the headphones with a repiote controller
plug firmly to D/REMOTE.
> Volume is too low.
Adjust the volume by pressing VOLUME +/(VOL +/- on the remote controller).
• AVLS is on.
♦ Slide AVLS to NOMAL (page 17).
• Disc playing stopped before it came to the last track.
♦ Press repeatedly or open and close the lid
once to go back to the beginning of the disc, and
restart playing after checking the track number in
the display.

Cause/Solution
• The rcvorder is placcKf where it receives continuous

♦ Connect the AC power adaptor to DC IN 6 V on
the recorder and the wall outlet to charge the
built-in battery. After charging, set the clock
again. Note that the clock normally loses about 2
minutes per month (page 15).

liowe\ er, that these limitations are due to the inheretU nature ot the MD recording s\ stem
itsi'lt and iH>t ti> mechanical causes.
Symptom
"TR FULL” appears even
before the disc has reached the
maximum recording time (60 or
74 minutes).
"TR FULL" appears e\’en
before fhe disc has reachexi the
maximum track number or
recording time.
Track marks cannot be erased.
The remaining recording time
does not increase even after
erasing numerous short tracks.
The total recorded time and the
remaining time on the disc may
not total the maximum
recording time (60 or 74
minutes).
The edited tracks may exhibit
sound dropout during search
operations.
Cause
When 254 tracks ha\ e been recorded on the disc,
"TR FULL" appears regardless of the total
recorded time. More than 254 tracks cannot he
recorded on the disc. To continue recording, erase
unnecessary tracks.
Repeating 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 254 and further recording is not
possible. To continue recording, erase
unnecessary tracks.
When the data of a track is fragmented, the track
mark of a fragment under 12 seconds long cannot
be erased.
Tracks of under 12 seconds in length are not
counted and so erasing them may not lead to an
increase in the recording time.
Recording is done in minimum units of 2 seconds
each, no matter how short the material. Even if
the last unit of recording is less than 2 seconds, it
is counted as a unit of 2 seconds. Then 2 seconds'
space is put before recording starts again to
prevent the last unit of the previous track from
being erased. The contents recorded may thus be
shorter than the maximum recording capacity.
The fragmentation of data may cause sound
dropout while searching because the tracks are
played in higher speed than normal playback.

What is MO?
How MiniDisc works
MiniDisc (MD) comes in two types:
prenustered (prerecorded) and
rtvordable (blank). Premastered MDs,
recorded at music studios, can be playcM
back almost endlessly. Howewr, they
can't be rcvi>rded on or m er like cassette
tapes. To record, you must use a
"recordable MD".
Premastered MDs
Premastered MDs are recorded and
played like regular CDs. A laser beam
focuses on the pits in the surface of the
MD and reflects the information back to
the lens in the recorder. The recorder then
decodes the signals and plavs them back
as music.
Recordable MDs
Recordable MDs, which use magneto
optical (MO) technology, can be recorded
again and again. The laser inside the
recorder applies heat to the MD,
demagnetizing the magnetic layer of the
MD. The recorder then applies a magnetic
field to the layer. This magnetic held
corresponds exactly to the audio signals
generated by the connected source. (The
north and south polarities equate to
digital "1" and "0".) The demagnetized
MD adopts the polarity of the magnetic
field, resulting in a recorded MD.

Page 35
How the MiniDisc got so smalt
Tho 2.5-MK'h MiniPisc. oncas<.\i in a
plastic cartridge that KH>ks like a 3.5-incl\
diskette (see' illustration below), list's a
new digital audio compression
technology called ATRAC (Adaptive
TRansfiirm Acoustic Ctxiing). To store
more sound in less space, ATRAC extracts
and enctxies only those frequency
comptMients actually audible to the
human ear.
Quick Random Access
Like CDs, MDs offer instantaneous
random access to the beginning of any
music track. Premastered MDs are
recorded with location addresses
corresponciing to each music selection.
Recordable MDs are manufactured with a
"User T(XT Area" to contain the order of
the music. The TOC system is similar to
the "directory management system" of
floppy disks. In other words, starting and
ending addresses for all music tracks
recorded on the disc are stored in this
area. This lets you randomly access the
beginning of any track as soon as you
enter the track number (AMS), as well as
label the location with a track name as
you would a file on a diskette.
Shock-Resistant Memory
One major drau back of optical read
systems is that they can skip t>r mute
when subjected to vibration. The MD
system resolves this problem by using a
buffer memorv that stores audio data.
