Additional Information

Precautions

On safety

• As the laser beam used in the CD and MD player section is harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the casing. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the player, unplug the player, and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

On power sources

• The player is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the player itself has been turned off.

• When the batteries are not to be used, remove them to avoid damage that can be caused by battery leakage or corrosion.

• The nameplate indicating operating voltage, power consumption, etc. is located at the rear.

• If the player is left in a car parked in the sun, be sure to choose a location in the car where the player will not be subjected to the direct rays of the sun.

• Since a strong magnet is used for the speakers, keep personal credit cards using magnetic coding or springwound watches away from the player to prevent possible damage from the magnet.

On operation

• If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lenses inside the CD and MD player section. Should this occur, the player will not operate properly. In this case, remove the CD or MD and wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

On placement

• Do not leave the player in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock.

• Do not place anything within 10 mm of the side of the cabinet. The ventilation holes must be unobstructed for the player to operate properly and prolong the life of its components.

Precautions (continued)

Notes on CDs

• Before playing, clean the CD with a

cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the centre out.

• Do not use solvents such as benzine,

thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs.

• Do not expose the CD to direct

sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as there can be a considerable rise in temperature inside the car.

• After playing, store the CD in its case. If there is a scratch, dirt or fingerprints

on the CD, it may cause tracking error.

Cleaning the cabinet

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as alcohol or benzene.

Notes on MDs

• Do not open the shutter to expose the MD. Close the shutter immediately if the shutter opens.

System limitations of the MD

The recording system in your MiniDisc recorder is radically different from those used in cassette and DAT decks and the system has limitations described below. Note, however, that these limitations are due to the inherent nature of the MD recording system itself and not to mechanical causes.

”Disc Full” appears in the display even before the MD has reached the maximum recording time (60 or 74 minutes)

When 254 tracks have been recorded on the MD, ”Disc Full” appears regardless of the total recorded time. More than 254 tracks cannot be recorded on the MD. To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks.

”Disc Full” appears in the display even before the MD has reached the maximum track number or recording time.

Repeated 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.

Some tracks cannot be combined with others

Track combination may become impossible when tracks are under 12 seconds long.

The total recorded time and the remaining time on the MD may not reach the maximum recording time (60 or 74 minutes)

Recording is done in minimum units of 2 seconds each, no matter how short the material. The contents recorded may thus be shorter than the maximum recording capacity. Disc space may also be further reduced by scratches.

The sound may dropout while fastfowarding or rewinding the edited tracks.

Tracks created through editing may exhibit sound dropout during fastforwarding or rewinding because highspeed playback takes time to search for the position on the disc when the tracks are scattered on the disc.

continued

The remaining recording time does not increase even after erasing numerous short tracks

Tracks under 12 seconds long are not counted, so erasing them may not increase the recording time.

Guide to the serial copy management system

Digital audio equipment such as CDs, MDs, DATs, etc., copy music easily with high quality, for these products process music as a digital signal. The Serial Copy Management System allows you to make only a single copy of a recorded digital source through digital-to-digital connections because music programmes may be copyrighted.

This system is applied to this player.

You can make only a firstgeneration copy* through a digital-to-digital connection.

That is : 1 You can make a copy of a digital

sound programme on the market such as CDs, MDs, etc., but you cannot make a second copy from the firstgeneration copy.

2 You can make a copy of a digital

signal from a digitally-recorded analog sound programme on the market such as an analog record, music cassette tape, etc., or from digital satellite broadcasts, but you cannot make a second copy.

Note

No restrictions apply when a digital signal is recorded as an analog signal (that is, when a digital signal is recorded throgh analog-toanalog connection.)

* A first-generation copy is a digital

recording of a digital signal made on digital audio equipment through a digitalto-digital connection.

During recording, “DIGITAL REC” appears in the display on this player.

Getting to know the MD

Structure

The 2.5-inch MiniDisc (MD) is compact and easy to handle requiring less care as it is encased in a plastic cartridge that looks like a 3.5-inch diskette (see illustrations below).

Parts making up a MiniDisc

Plastic cartridge

Disc

Shutter

Disc variation

MDs come in two types: pre-mastered (pre-recorded) and recordable (blank). Pre-mastered MDs cannot be recorded on or over like cassette tapes. To record, you must use a “recordable MD.”

Pre-mastered MDs

Pre-mastered MDs are recorded and played like regular CDs. A laser beam focus on the pits on the surface of the MD and reflects the information back to the lens in the recorder. The recorder then decodes the signals and plays them back as music.

Recordable MDs

Recordable MDs, which use magnetooptical (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 field corresponds exactly to the audio signals generated by the connected source. (The north and south polarities equate to digital “1” and “0.”) The demagnetised MD adopts the polarity of the magnetic field, resulting in a recorded MD.

Getting to know the MD (continued)

Features

Long recording

The MD uses a new digital audio compression technology called Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding (ATRAC). To store more sound in less space, ATRAC extracts and encodes only those frequency components actually audible to the human ear.

Quick random access

Like CDs, MDs offer instantaneous random access to the beginning of any music track. Pre-mastered MDs are recorded with location addresses corresponding to each music track.

Shock-resistant memory

One major drawback of optical read systems is that they skip or mute the sound when subject to vibration. The MD system resolves this problem by using a buffer memory that stores audio data.

• Make sure that the CD tray is closed.

• Place the CD with the label surface up.

• Clean the CD.

• Take out the CD and leave the CD tray open for about an hour to dry moisture condensation.

• Reduce the volume.

Troubleshooting (continued)

Symptom

The MD does not record.

MD Player

The recorded sound drops out.

A stereo program cannot be received in stereo.

The audio is weak or has poor quality.

The timer does not operate.

Timer Radio

Remedy

• The MD is record-protected ("Protected"

appears). Close the record-protect slot.

• The track has been protected using another MD

recorder ("Trk Protect" appears). Release the track-protect on the same MD recorder that protected the track.

• The player is not connected properly to the

sound source. Make connections properly to the sound source.

• A pre-mastered MD is inserted. Replace it with

a recordable MD.

• There is not enough space left on the MD.

Replace it with another recordable MD with enough space, or erase unnecessary tracks.

• There has been a power failure or the mains

lead has been disconnected. Data recorded to that point may be lost. Repeat the recording procedure.

• The sound was recorded at high volume.

Record again at lower volume.

• Press MONO/ST until "STEREO" appears in the

display (page 11).

• The FM stereo broadcast may be noisy (page

11).

• Move the player away from the TV.

• If you are using the remote while listening to an

MW/LW radio, noise may be heard. This is unavoidable.

• Move the MW/LW loop aerial away from the

player.

• Make sure the time on the clock is correct.

• Check to see if the AC power had been cut off.

• Make sure "TIMER REC" or "TIMER PLAY"

appears in the display.

• Check and change the preset start/stop time if

both times are set to the same time.

Additional Information62

Page 63

Symptom

The remote does not function.

Remote

Operation may become unstable depending on the power supply or other causes because this player employs a microcomputer to link each operation. If other troubles not described above

occur, disconnect the AC power cord from the wall outlet, then connect it again after about 20 seconds. If the problem still occurs, press the RESET button at the rear of the player with a pointed object (in this case, clock set, timer or preset radio stations are reset to

the initial settings. Set these items again if you need). If the problem persists, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Remedy

• Replace all the batteries in the remote with new

ones if they are weak (page 50).

• Make sure that you are pointing the remote at

the remote sensor on the player.

• Remove any obstacles in the path of the remote

and the player.

• Make sure the remote sensor is not exposed to

strong light such as direct sunlight or fluorescent lamp light.

• Move closer to the player when using the

remote.

Edición de temas grabados en el MD

Antes de editar

En el MD, las marcas de temas se insertan entre los temas. Es posible encontrar el principio de éstos rápidamente mediante dichas marcas. Puede cambiar las posiciones de las marcas de tema. Por ejemplo, puede dividir un determinado tema en varios mediante la adición de marcas. También es posible combinar varios temas para obtener otro nuevo más extenso mediante la eliminación de varias marcas de temas.

La posición de las marcas de tema que se añaden es diferente en función del tipo de grabación o de las condiciones de ésta
