Electric Power 1

Power sources — Connect this unit only to power sources specified in the Operating Instructions, and as marked on the unit,

Polarization — As a safety feature, some units are equipped with polarized AC power plugs which can only be inserted one way into a power outlet. If it is difficult orimpossibleto insert the AC power plug into an outlet, turn the plug over and try again. If it still does not easily insert into the outlet, please call a qualified service technician to service or replace the outlet. To avoid defeating the safety feature of the polarized plug, do not force it into a power outlet.

AC power cord or car battery cord

- When disconnecting the power cord, pull out by the plug. Do not pull the cord itself.

- Never handle the power plug with wet hands, as this could result in fire or shock.

- Power cord should be routed to avoid being severely bent, pinched, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to the cord

from the unit to the power socket.

- Avoid overloading AC power plugs and extension cords

beyond their capacity, as this could result in fire or shock.

Extension cord —To help prevent electric shock, do not use a polarized AC power plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the polarized plug can be completely inserted to prevent exposure of the blades of the plug. When not in use — Disconnect the AC Dower cord from the AC

outlet if the unit will not be used for several months or more. When the cord is plugged in, a small amount of current continues to flow to the unit, even when the power is turned off.

Outdoor Antenna

WHAT IS AN MD (MINI DISC)?

An MD is only 64 mm (2 5/8 in.) in diameter, about half the size of a conventional CD. But an MD can be used to store and playback 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.

TYPES OF MDS

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 These are playback only discs. Like CDs, they are used as prerecorded music discs. You cannot record or edit them.

discs

Label

Recordable MO*l 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,

Label

El+

*’ MO: An abbreviation of Magneto Optical

Ultra compact size made possible by ATRAC*2 technology

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.

The shutter covers the opening only on the non-labeled side of the MD.

The shutter covers the opening on both sides of the MD.

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 on a disc, without respect of the recording time. *TOC: An abbreviation of Table Of Contents,

“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.

When the remaining time on a disc is displayed, which may not be increased even after erasing short tracks because the sections less than eight seconds are not counted.

Tracks cannot be joined (the COMBINE function does

not function).

Tracks created by editing may not be joined.

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.

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.

When digital recording is attempted from recorded material with copyrights, digital dubbing cannot be performed to a recordable MD from another MD recorded in digital, because of the built-in record restriction function which complies with the SCMS* standard.

*2 ATRAC: An abbreviation of Adaptive TRansform Acoustic

Coding

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 enabling them

to be played in any order.

* SCMS (Serial Copy Management System) is the standard to

restrict single digital dubbing between the digital audio system

thus protecting copyrights.

RECORDING

Recording through digital inputs

Digital recording of CD audio signals to MDs gives recordings with no degradation in sound quality. You can use any of the following methods to record from CDs to MDs.

● Record a complete CD onto an MD

● Record a desired track of a CD onto an MD

● Record your favorite CD tracks in any order

Recording through analog inputs

Recording through analog inputs from the tuner or external

equipment connected to the TAPE IN jacks and AUX IN jacks

can be done easily. Recording through analog inputs from a CD

is also possible.

Extended recording

Twice as long as the time printed on the MD can be obtained by

using the monaural recording mode.

● Nothing other than an MD should be inserted in the disc drive,

otherwise the disc may become scratched, causing a

malfunction.

● Do not give a strong shock or disconnect the AC cord during

recording or a TOC* recording. Doing so may cause the errors

in the TOC recording and the contents cannot be played back.

* TOC : An abbreviation of Table Of Contents

The TOC data functions as a coded index of the recorded

material. The unit records the TOC data such as a playing time

and recorded address on an MD.

You can easily select the desired tracks by registering index marks during recording. Choose the appropriate method to register index marks.
