Precautions: Read this before operating your system
English
■ To assure the finest performance, please read this manual
carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference.
■ Choose the installation location of this system carefully.
Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of
heat. Also avoid locations subject to vibration and
excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture. Keep it away from
sources of hum such as transformers and electric motors.
■ Do not operate this system upside-down. It may overheat,
possibly causing damage.
■ Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the set,
contact your dealer.
■ The openings on the main unit cover assure proper
ventilation of the main unit. If these openings are
obstructed, the temperature inside the unit will rise rapidly.
Therefore, avoid placing objects against these openings,
and install the main unit in a well-ventilated area to prevent
fire and damage.
■ Always set the VOLUME control to minimum before
starting an audio source play: increase the volume
gradually to an appropriate level after play has started.
■ When not planning to use this system for long periods of
time (ie., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug
from the wall outlet.
■ Grounding or polarization – Precautions should be taken so
that the grounding or polarization of this system is not
defeated.
■ Do not use force on switches, controls or connection wires.
When moving the main unit, first disconnect the power plug
and the wires connected to other equipment. Never pull the
wire itself.
■ If an external appliance (TV, radio, etc.) interferes with this
system operation, move the main unit away from such an
appliance.
■ Do not attempt to clean this system with chemical solvents;
this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
■ Be sure to read the “Troubleshooting” section regarding
common operating errors before concluding that this
system is faulty.
■ Although the tape deck’s record/playback heads are high
quality heads with outstanding reproduction characteristics,
they can become dirty through the use of old tapes or from
dust accumulation over time. This can have a serious effect
on reproduction quality. Clean the heads regularly with one
of the commonly available head cleaners or with cleaning
solutions.
■ The voltage to be used must be the same as that specified
on this system. Using this system with a higher voltage
than specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or other
types of accidents causing damage. YAMAHA will not be
held responsible for any damage resulting from use of this
system with a voltage other than specified.
■ The sound level at a given volume setting depends on
speaker location and other factors. Care should be taken to
avoid exposure to sudden high levels of sound, which may
occur when turning on this system with the volume control
setting at high, and to continuous high levels of sound.
■ Sudden temperature changes and storage or operation in
an extremely humid environment may cause condensation
inside the cabinet. Condensation can cause this system to
malfunction.
To eliminate condensation:
CD pickup/MD pickup
•
Leave the power on with no disc loaded until normal
play becomes possible (about 1 hour).
Tape head
•
Leave the power on with no tape loaded until normal
playback becomes possible (about 1 hour).
Note
If condensation forms on the tape head, dirt or dust
may accumulate during use.
Remote control
•
Wipe off condensation on the transmission window with
a soft cloth before operating this system.
■ To prevent a malfunction of this system:
Do not use any non standard shaped compact disc
•
(heart etc.) available on the market, because it may
damage this system.
Do not use a compact disc with tape, seals, or paste on
•
it, because damage to this system may result.
■ To prevent lightning damage, disconnect the AC power
plug and the antenna cable when there is an electrical
storm.
■ Do not plug the AC power plug to the wall socket before
you finish all connections.
■ Never allow metallic items (e.g. screwdrivers, tools, etc.) to
come near the tape deck’s record/playback head assembly.
Doing so may not only scratch or damage the head’s
mirror-smooth finish, it may change the magnetic
characteristics of the heads, causing a deterioration in
reproduction performance quality.
This system is not disconnected from the AC power
source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if
this system itself is turned off. This state is called the
standby mode.
In this state, this system is designed to consume a certain
level of power.
Note
Please check the copyright laws in your country to record
from records, compact discs, minidiscs, radio, etc. Recording of copyright material may infringe copyright laws.

Memory back-up
The memory back-up circuit prevents the programmed data
from being lost even if the AC supply lead is disconnected
from the AC outlet or the power is cut due to temporary
power failure. If, however, the power is cut for more than
one week, the memory may be erased. If so, it can be
re-programmed by simply following the Preset tuning steps.
Notes
● The automatic preset tuning search will be performed
through all frequencies until 40 stations are stored. If the
number of received stations is less than 40, the search will
stop after searching all frequencies.
* Since FM stations are searched for first, there may be a
case that 40 preset stations are occupied by FM stations
only.
● With this function, only stations with sufficient signal
strength are stored automatically. If the station you want to
program is weak in signal strength, tune in to it with the
Manual tuning method (in monaural) and program it by
following the procedure of the section “To store stations” on
the previous page.
● You can replace a preset station with another FM or AM
station manually by simply following the procedure of the
section “To store stations” on the previous page.

Protecting a recorded MD
• To protect a recorded MD, slide the tab on the side of the
MD to open the slot.
In this position, the MD cannot be used for recording. To
record on the MD, slide the tab to close the slot.
• If the MD is protected against erasure, “Protected” appears
on the display.
Care of MDs
• Do not expose the MD 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.
• Periodically remove dust and debris from the cartridge
surface by wiping it with a dry cloth.
• Because the MD itself is housed in a cartridge, you can
handle it normally without being concerned about dirt or
fingerprints. However, a malfunction may result if the
cartridge itself is dirty or warped.
• Do not open the shutter to expose the MD.

Recording to MD
The MD recorder allows you to make recordings from a wide
variety of program sources (both analog and digital).
When recording an analog source (such as an LP or tape),
the MD recorder converts the analog signals to 44.1 kHz
digital signal before recording them onto the MD.
When recording a digital source, the MD recorder converts
the digital signals to 44.1 kHz for recording onto the MD.
However, If you are recording a 44.1 kHz source signal
(such as a CD) there is no conversion. The MD recorder can
record 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz digital signals.
Note
Adjusting the VOLUME, B ASS and TREBLE controls ,
YMERSION, B. BOOST and MUSIC buttons have no effect on
the recorded sound. The recording level is automatically
adjusted.

Track-marking
The MD recorder provides both automatic and manual
methods for the track number-marking.
● Automatic (default setting)
When making a recording, the track-marking is made
automatically.
● Manual
To make the track-marking manually, press M-MARK on
the remote control repeatedly until “MANUAL” (8) is
illuminated.
When recording analog signals (from tapes, radio
programs, etc.)
Automatic:
Track numbers are written in synchronization with the input
level of the signal being recorded. During recording, if no
sound is detected for more than 1.5 seconds, the recorder
interprets this to be a gap between two tracks. When the
source signal is detected again, a track number is
automatically written.
Manual:
One track number is written automatically when you start
recording, but none are written during recording. To mark a
track number, press M-MARK at the desired position while
recording.
Note
When using the manual method, the marks must be set at
least 4 seconds apart.
When recording digital signals (from CDs, etc.)
Track numbers are written in the same positions as the
original source (CDs, etc.) with either automatic or manual
track-marking method.
To add additional track numbers, select the manual
track-marking method and press M-MARK at the desired
position while recording.
Notes about TOC
TOC (Table of Contents) is the non-audio data contained on
all minidiscs (track numbers, play time, title data, etc.)
When you make recording onto an MD, the TOC data is
automatically renewed.
When the message “TOC Reading” or “TOC Writing”, etc. is
shown on the display, it means that the MD recorder is
reading the TOC data on an MD, or recording TOC data onto
an MD. During this period, do not make an operation on the
MD recorder, do not disconnect the power cord of this
system, or do not shake this system to prevent a
misoperation of the MD recorder.

Editing an MD
Editing and titling MD
One of the main advantages of MD is its editing capabilities,
you can remove the commercials from a radio broadcast,
arrange songs into the order you want, remove songs,
combine songs, even remove part of a song.
The MD recorder offers the following editing functions.
• Erase
Lets you erase a track, the entire disc, or part of a track.
You can also erase the title of a disc, or the titles of tracks
on a disc.
• Move
Lets you move a track to a different track number.
• Combine
Lets you combine two adjacent tracks.
• Divide
Lets you split a single track into two different tracks.
• TOC Write
Lets you write TOC information to the disc so that
changes are saved.
• FRA Check
Lets you recover disc space that may have been lost after
repeated editing operations.
• Undo
Lets you undo the previous editing operation if you make
a mistake.
Notes on editing
Before editing
Make sure that the MD is not protected against erasure. If the
MD is protected, you cannot edit the MD. Slide the tab to close
the slot on the side of the MD.
After editing
Use the TOC Write function, or press
order to update the TOC information.
Note
After performing an editing operation, “TOC” (9) lights up
on the display to show that the TOC information has not yet
been written to the disc. Undo is possible only when “TOC”
(9) is illuminated.
The illustrations below show the locations of buttons used for
editing operations described on pages 35–37.

m Disc Maintenance
The MD recorder features two disc maintenance functions
which optimize performance of MDs. The TOC Write function
allows you to write the result of editing to the TOC without
having to eject the disc. The FRA Check function recovers
recordable space on a disc that may have been lost because
of repeated editing operations.
TOC Write
When making a recording, the TOC (Table Of Contents) of the
MD is written as soon as recording is finished. When making
an editing or titling operation, however, the TOC isn’t
automatically written unless the disc is ejected. If the MD
recorder is accidentally turned off before writing the result of
editing to the TOC, it is possible that these changes will not be
saved. By using this function, you can ensure that the result of
your edition is saved on the disc.
1 Press

2 Press MD EDIT repeatedly to display “TOC Write ?”, then
press ENTER.
* “TOC WriteOK?” appears on the display.

* The track is divided and “Complete” appears
momentarily.
* If the divided track originally had a track title, the same
title remains on both of the two divided.

The Undo function lets you immediately return to the condition
before an editing is made (note; you cannot undo the editing
once you press any other button).

• The TOC Write function can only be selected when the
TOC indicator is lit on the display.
FRA Check
When editing operations such as “Move” and “Divide” are
performed, recordable space may be lost and “TOC Full” may
appear on the display to indicate that no more recording can
be performed. When this occurs, it may be possible to recover
the FRA (Freely Recordable Area) on the disc that was lost by
repeated editing operations so that more recording is possible.

MD system limitations
The recording system in your MD recorder is radically
different from those used in tape and DAT decks and is
characterized by the limitations described below. Note,
however, that these limitations are inherent to the MD
recording system and are not a result of mechanical trouble.
“Can’t REC” is displayed before the maximum recording
time (60 or 74 minutes) has been reached
Once 255 tracks have been recorded on one MD, “Can’t
REC” is displayed regardless of the total recorded time.
“Disc Full” is displayed before the maximum number of
tracks (255) have been recorded
During Automatic track-marking, fluctuations in emphasis
within songs may be interpreted as song intervals,
increasing the total number of tracks and causing “Disc Full”
to be displayed.
The remaining recording time does not increase even
after erasing numerous short tracks
Tracks under 12 seconds in length are not counted and so
erasing them may not lead to an increase in the recording
time.
“TOC Reading” is displayed continuously
The “TOC Reading” display lasts longer than normal when a
brand new (blank) disc is inserted.
The total recorded time and the remaining time on the
MD do not total to the maximum recording time
• Recording is done in minimum units of 2 seconds each,
no matter how short the material.
• The MD recorder displays the length of the largest
continuous blank area as the remaining time. Therefore, if
there are several separate blank spaces, the remaining
time will only display a time equivalent to the largest
continuous blank space.
Tracks created through editing may exhibit sound
dropout during search operations.
Track numbers are not recorded correctly
Incorrect assignment or recording of track numbers may
result when CD tracks are divided into several smaller tracks
during digital recording.
It is not possible to erase part of a track using the A-B
Erase function
The MD recorder organizes the audio data in sound groups
and clusters. The minimum size of these units may not
consist of less than 10 seconds of stereo sound.
The correct recorded/playing time may not be displayed
during playback of MDs recorded in monaural.
Copy protection (SCMS)
As a digital audio component, this MD recorder conforms
with the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS)
standards. The Serial Copy Management System restricts
copies made by recording digital signals to the firstgeneration copies only. Therefore, an MD recorded from a
digital input source cannot be used as a source for making
another digital recording.
