explained in the section “Basic and Common Operations”
on pages 9 to 12.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the unit in the
following cases:
• After starting to heat the room.
• In a damp room.
• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm place.

Recording on MDs
Continued
Before You Start Recording on an MD
• It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright
owner.
• When you record onto partially recorded MD, its contents are not erased or overwritten. The recording starts from the
point following the last recorded track of the MD.
If you want to record on such an MD from the beginning, you have to erase its contents first (see “Erasing All Tracks
—ALL ERASE” on page 50).
• When an MD is fully recorded, recording will stops automatically.
• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the volume level. Thus, during recording you can
adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.
• While recording, you can hear sound mode effect and/or the AHB PRO (Active Hyper Bass PRO) effect through the
speakers or headphones. However, the sound is recorded without these effects (see pages 11 and 12).
• You can make a digital to digital recording from an audio CD onto an MD.
When selecting FM, AM, TAPE, or AUX as the source, you can make an analog to digital recording only.
• You cannot record more than 254 tracks onto an MD, even if there is still enough recording time remaining on it.
About the track marks
To avoid erasing important recordings
When playing an MD, you can move among the tracks.
You can do this because there is a mark recorded at the
beginning of each track enabling you to locate the track.
This mark is called a “track mark” and the portion between
two adjacent track marks is called a “track.”
The recordable MD has an erasure prevention tab so that
important recordings are not accidentally erased. When
you finish recording or editing, slide to open the erasure
prevention tab on the cartridge side surface. New recording
or editing is now no longer possible. (If you try to do,
“DISC PROTECTED” appears on the display.)
To do re-recording or editing, return the tab to the closed
position.
• When using CD synchronized recording, a track mark
is recorded at the beginning of each track. You cannot
put a track mark manually.
• When recording from an analog source such as FM,
AM, TAPE, or AUX, you can select “Auto Track
Recording” and “Manual Track Recording” by pressing
CD REC MODE (see page 32).
To add a track mark after recording is over, you can use
the DIVIDE function (see page 47).

Stereo Long-Hour Recording (MDLP)
On conventional MD recorders, 2 times long-hour
recording on MDs has been possible only in monaural
sound, but this unit allows for 2 times or 4 times long-hour
recording without losing stereo sound.
To check the remaining recording time
Press DISP/CHARA repeatedly until “REC REMAIN” and
the remaining time based on the current recording mode
appear on the display.
With this feature, songs (tracks) can be recorded on a
single MD using different recording length modes—SP:
Standard Play, LP2: 2 Times Long Play, LP4: 4 Times
Long Play.
SP: Signifies standard-hour stereo recording. The
amount of time usable for recording is the same as
shown on the package of the MD.
LP2: Signifies 2 times long-hour stereo recording. The
amount of time usable for recording is twice as
long as shown on the package of the MD.
LP4: Signifies 4 times long-hour stereo recording. The
amount of time usable for recording is 4 times as
long as shown on the package of the MD.
Precautions for performing long-hour stereo recording
After having made long-hour stereo recordings on this unit,
pay attention to the following:
• Songs (tracks) recorded in 2 times or 4 times long-hour
recording mode can only be played back on the equipment
provided with MDLP, compatible with a long-hour stereo
recording function; otherwise, “LP:” is displayed before a
title and playback proceeds without sounds.
• When editing songs (tracks) on an MD, you cannot join
(JOIN) songs (tracks) recorded in different recording
length modes (SP/LP2/LP4).
More about MDLP
REMEMBER to check the remaining recording time of
MDs before start recording
The remaining recording time of MDs will be calculated
and shown, based on the recording length mode (SP/LP2/
LP4) currently selected.
•
•
You cannot make a long-hour monaural recording using this unit.
Sound quality will decrease as the recording length mode changes to
LP2 (little) and LP4 (much). To obtain the best sound quality, it is
recommended to use the SP mode when recording.
Before start recording or using the Recording Timer,
check the remaining recording time on the MD for each
recording length mode (SP/LP2/LP4) and select the
optimum recording length mode.
About High-Speed Recording
The time for high-speed recording is half or quarter as long
as the time for normal speed recording.
If you try to re-record the same song (track) within the 74
minutes, recording is canceled and “HCMS CANNOT
COPY” appears on the display as a warning.
There are some restrictions to observe for high-speed
recording (x2 speed recording: two times as quick as normal
speed recording, x4 speed recording: four times as quick as
normal speed recording, x5 speed recording: five times as
quick as normal speed recording) to protect copyrights.
(HCMS: see page 61.)
REMEMBER if you are trying to record a program
including the same song (track) twice using high-speed
recording, recording will stop at the beginning of the 2nd
recording of the same song (track). (“HCMS CANNOT
COPY” will appear on the display.)
This unit is so designed that a song (track) recorded from a
CD using high-speed recording cannot be re-recorded until
74 minutes elapse after the previous recording started.
During high-speed recording
You cannot listen to any source, and therefore, cannot adjust the volume
level. (“CANNOT LISTEN” will appear on the display if you try to do.)

Recording on Tapes
Before You Start Recording on a Tape
• It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright
owner.
• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the volume level. Thus, during recording you can
adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.
• While recording, you can hear sound mode effect and/or the AHB PRO (Active Hyper Bass PRO) effect through the
speakers or headphones. However, the sound is recorded without these effects (see pages 11 and 12).
• If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static, the unit may be too close to a TV. Place the unit away from the
TV.
• You can use only type I tapes for recording.
To protect your recordings
Cassettes have two small taps on the back to protect
unexpected erasure or recording.
To keep the best recording and playback sound
quality
You need to clean the heads.
To protect your recording, remove these tabs.
To re-record on a protected tape, cover the holes with
adhesive tape.
• Clean the heads after every 10 hours of use with
a wet-type head cleaning tape (available at electronic and
audio shops).
Adhesive tape
The use of the C-120 or longer tape is not recommended, since
characteristic deterioration may occur and this tape easily jams
in the pinch rollers and the capstans.
When the head becomes dirty, the following symptoms
will occur:
– Sound quality is reduced.
– Sound level decreases.
– Sound drops out.
• Do not play dirty or dusty tapes.
• Do not touch the highly-polished head with any metallic
or magnetic tools.
To demagnetize the head
Turn off (on standby) the unit, and use a head
demagnetizer (available at electronics and audio shops).
At the start and end of cassette tapes
There is leader tape which cannot be recorded onto. Thus, when
recording discs, MDs, or radio broadcasts, wind the leader tape first to
ensure that the recording will be made without any music part lost.

Editing MDs
Guidance—MD Group Functions
To add to the conventional MD Editing functions (called the
track editing functions in this manual), MD Group functions
help you to classify the tracks by making groups on your
MD.
Using MD Groups as a separate item
You can enjoy playback, recording, and editing groups.
• Playback (see page 23):
You can play back and repeat the desired group without
making a program: For example, you can play back
repeatedly genre B tracks by selecting Group 1 in the left
figure—Group Play.
• Recording (see page 30):
You can form a group while tracks are being recorded.
• Editing:
Classifying the tracks on an MD
MDLP enables you to record more tracks on a single MD
than usual. So, there are many tracks which have been
recorded from the various sources—CDs, FM, and so on—
on your MD.
In that case, if you can classify the tracks by source, by
album, or by artist, the playback of your favorite songs
becomes much easier.
You can edit the groups using the following functions:
– Forming a group (FORM GR)
– Adding a track to a group (ENTRY GR)
– Dividing a group (DIVIDE GR)
Track number
– Joining two groups (JOIN GR)
– Moving a group (MOVE GR)

Press GROUP REC ON/OFF to record and group tracks
at the same time (for details, see page 30).
In the figure above, as an example, there are 5 different
genres (from A to E) of tracks on the MD. Using MD Group
functions, you can form a group by genre B tracks as Group
1, genre C tracks as Group 2, etc.
By forming groups on the MD, you can classify the tracks
by each genre—the album title, the artist, etc. You can also
assign a name to each group (see pages 51 – 53).

Assigning Titles to an MD
1 Insert an MD you want to edit into the MD
loading slot.
You can assign a name to each MD, to each group and to
each track using alphabetic characters (uppercase and
lowercase), symbols and numerals. Once a title is assigned, it
is displayed for your confirmation.
2 Enter the unit into the title entry mode.
For the disc and track title:
Press TITLE/EDIT.
• You cannot edit titles composed of more than 61 characters.
TITLE/EDIT
• During stop mode:
Disc title entry screen appears on the
display.
About the number of characters entered for an MD
The total number of characters that you can enter for an MD is 1792. The
maximum number that you can enter for a disc/track title is 61.
(However, the actual number you can enter may be slightly less than the
maximum numbers due to the MD limitations—see page 61.)
• A space can be counted as one character.
• When the stereo long-hour recording (LP2 or LP4, see page 30)
method is used for recording, the maximum number you can enter for a
track title is automatically reduced since “LP:” and a space are
automatically added to the beginning of the track title. Consequently
this reduces the total number of characters you can enter for an MD.
Ex.: You can enter up to 10 characters for each track if an MD is
composed of 120 tracks recorded using the stereo long-hour
recording method.
• During play mode:
Track title entry screen appears on the display.
For the group title:
Press GROUP TITLE/EDIT.
Group title entry screen appears on the
display.
In the following example, the process is explained from the
very first—that is, inserting a disc. If you have already started
recording or playing, start from step 2.

Maintenance
To get the best performance of the unit, keep your discs, tapes and mechanism clean.
General Notes
Handling MDs
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping
your discs, tapes and the mechanism clean.
• Store discs and tapes in their cases, and keep them in
cabinets or on shelves.
• Do not open the shutter.
– The shutter is locked so that it will
not open. Trying to force it open will
break the MD. If the shutter opens
accidentally, close it again quickly
without touching the MD inside.
• Keep the unit’s disc trays closed when not in use.
Continued use of irregular shape discs (heart-shape,
octagonal, etc.) can damage the unit.
• Do not place MDs in the following
places:
– High temperature areas such as in
direct sunlight or inside a car.
– High humidity areas, e.g. in a
bathroom.
– On a beach or sandy area.
Handling discs
• Remove the disc from its case by
holding it at the edge while pressing
the center hole lightly.
• Do not touch the shiny surface of the
disc, or bend the disc.
• Clean MDs regularly.
– If dust or dirt gets on cartridge, wipe it off with a soft dry
cloth.
• Put the disc back in its case after use
to prevent warping.
Handling cassette tapes
• If the tape is loose in its cassette, take up
the slack by inserting a pencil in one of the
reels and rotating.
• If the tape is loose, it may get stretched, cut,
or caught in the cassette.
• Be careful not to scratch the surface
of the disc when placing it back in its
case.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight,
temperature extremes, and moisture.
• Be careful not to touch the tape surface.
• Avoid storing tapes in any of the following
places:
– In dusty places
– In direct sunlight or heat
– In moist areas
To clean the disc
Wipe the disc with a soft cloth in a
straight line from center to edge.
– On a TV or speaker
– Near a magnet
DO NOT use any solvent—such as conventional
record cleaner, spray, thinner, or benzine—to
clean the disc.
Cleaning the unit
• Stains on the unit
Should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the unit is heavily
stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in water-diluted neutral
detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth.
• Since the unit may deteriorate in quality, become
damaged or have its paint peel off, be careful about the
following:
– DO NOT wipe it with a rough cloth.
– DO NOT wipe it too vigorously.
– DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine.
– DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as an
insecticide to it.
– DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact
with it for a long time.

Additional Information

MD Disc Types
There are two types of MDs: Premastered (prerecorded) and Recordable (blank).
Premastered MDs
Premastered MDs, which have been recorded at music studio, can be played back like regular CDs. On an MD of this type,
data is recorded as the presence or absence of tiny pits. A laser beam focuses on the pits on the surface of the MD and reflects
the detection back to the lens in the MD recorder. The MD recorder then decodes the signals and plays them back as music.
This type of MD is called an “optical disc.”
Recordable MDs
Recordable MDs, which use magneto-optical technology, can be recorded and played back repeatedly. The laser inside the MD
recorder applies heat to the MD, demagnetizing the magnetic layer of the MD for recording and playback. This type of MD is
called a “magnetic-optical disc.”
ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding)/ATRAC3 (
)
The MD provides 80 minute recording and playback time, much more than an audio CD, but in a diameter of only 64 mm. This
ability to store such a large amount of data is the result of ATRAC, an audio compression technique developed for MD. This
technology cuts out faint sounds that would not be heard by the human beings. This technology, based on human sensitivity to
sounds, reduces recorded data volume up to about one-fifth of the original data volume.
Furthermore, this unit takes advantage of the latest ATRAC3 techniques, which can reduce the amount of data to record to one-
10th or one-20th of the original data volume. This allows for 2 times or 4 times long-hour stereo recording on this unit.
UTOC (User Table Of Contents)
Found only on recordable MDs, this area contains sub-data (track number, recording data, etc.) which can be rewritten by the
user.
UTOC enables us to search for tracks quickly and edit tracks on the MD.
3:12
4:15
6:05
Sound Skip Guard Memory
The biggest weakness of discs is their susceptibility to vibration. The “Sound Skip Guard Memory” has been developed to
cope with this weakness.
With this function, a few seconds of signals read by the optical read head from the MD are first stored in memory before being
reproduced as audio signals. Thus, even when vibration or shock interrupts signals being read, these stored signals can continue
to reproduce sounds for that few seconds. Thus, the user will enjoy uninterrupted music.

SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)
The MD recorder integrated to this unit uses the Serial Copy Management System which allows only first-generation digital
copies to be made of premastered software (like CDs or prerecorded MDs).

CD
CD-R/RW
HCMS (High-speed Copy Management System)
Now onto recordable MDs (minidiscs), you can record (copy) sound at a recording speed exceeding the normal speed. This fact
requires some restrictions for protecting copyrights.
On this unit, you cannot re-record, at either high speed or normal speed, a song (track) that has been recorded once from a CD
at high speed, until 74 minutes elapse after the first recording of the song started.
For example, after having recorded the first song (track) of a CD at high speed, you cannot record it again, at either high speed
or normal speed, until 74 minutes elapse after the first recording of that song started.
MD limitations
The MD records data in an original format that differs from that of conventional cassette tapes or DATs. Since there are
some limitations with this recording format, the following types of symptoms may occur. These symptoms are not
malfunctions.
Symptoms
Cause
“DISC FULL” appears, even though there is still enough
remaining time on an MD.
There is a maximum number of tracks which can be
recorded, regardless of recording time. More than 254 tracks
cannot be recorded on an MD.
“DISC FULL” appears, even though the number of tracks
and recording time do not reach the limit.
Repeating erasure and recording on the same MD creates
many blank portions sparsely on the MD. When recording
on such an MD, a track is recorded on these blank portions
sparsely. If a track is divided and recorded into so many
portions, “DISC FULL” appears.
• The JOIN function sometimes does not work.
• The remaining time on the MD does not increase even
when tracks are erased.
If a divided portion of less than 8 seconds is made while a
track is recorded on the MD, that track cannot be joined to
another track using the JOIN function. Furthermore, if that
track is erased, the remaining time of the MD may not
increase exactly by the erased amount.
The sound drops out during fast forward or fast reverse.
If a track has been divided into many portions while being
recorded on the MD, sounds will drop out while fast
forwarding or reversing such an MD.
The amount of recorded time on the MD added to the
amount of remaining time is shorter than the MD’s total
possible recording time.
You cannot record on a blank portion of less than 12 seconds
(SP mode) on the MD. For this reason, the actual recording
time of discs may become shorter.
