Playback of Mini Disc

Use the following procedure to play an MD in the original

order of tracks from track No. 1.

DMF-5020/DMF-3020/MD-203 (En)

Disc recorded in monaural mode

This unit is capable of playing a Mini Disc recorded in the 17

“monaural long-play mode.” As the “monaural long-play

mode” requires half the amount of data required for

stereo mode recording, the playing time (recording time)

of the disc is doubled (to max. 148 minutes) from that in

the stereo mode.

Before playing an MD

Set the TIMER switch to OFF.

DMF-5020/DMF-3020/MD-203 (En)

This key is used to select whether track numbers are to be

marked automatically during recording or they are to be

marked manually during or after recording. The track num-

bers can be used to locate the beginning of a track during

playback or programming tracks.

AUTO

Ifano-soundinputhaslastedforthetimesetfortheAUTOTIMEfunction

during recording, the track number will be incremented automatically by

“1”. Usually, use this position for recording. Use this mode when

recording all of the tracks in a CD. When recording music containing a

continuous section with a very low level, for example when recording

classic music, the track number may be incremented by “1” after such

a section. In this case, cancel the track number later. It is recommended

to use the MANUAL mode when recording such a kind of music.

During digital recording of CD, the track number is incremented auto-

matically by “1” according to the data contained in the digital informa-

tion. The no-sound blank is not detected.

Select before starting recording.

AUTO/MANU.

When the CD track number is increased during manual search of a CD,

the track number recorded on the MD may sometimes fail to be

incremented.

A no sound track may sometimes created at the moment the played CD

stops.

DIGITAL recording and SCMS

Note that the digital recording of Mini Discs is not possible in the following cases.

Note on the sampling rate converter

Three types of digital signals are usually used according to the sampling frequencies. The sampling frequencies vary

depending on the types of digital equipment as shown below.

48 kHz

44.1 kHz : Standard mode of DAT, CD, MD, etc.

32 kHz : Standard and long-hour modes of DAT, A mode broadcasting of BS tuner, etc.

: Standard mode of DAT, B mode broadcasting of BS tuner, etc.

In general, high-quality recording based on digital signal transmission is available only when the sampling frequency of the

source equipment matches that of the recorder equipment. However, this unit incorporates a sampling rate converter so that

it can also record digital signals sampled at 48 kHz and 32 kHz by converting their sampling frequency into the sampling

frequency of MD (44.1 kHz).

The SCMS may be activated with certain type of satellite broadcasting.

Editing

DMF-5020/DMF-3020/MD-203 (En)

After recording of a commercially-available recordable Mini

Disc, the recording can be edited in various ways. Note that

it is impossible to edit a playback-only Mini Disc.

Limitation of functionality due to MD standard

Some functions are limited due to the restrictions im-

posed by the MD standard. Before considering the symp-

toms as a sign of trouble with the unit, please read

(Editing is not possible while the “PGM” indicator is lit.)

The MD recorder acts based on the data loaded from the

disc into the memory. As this data is written in the disc at

the moment it is ejected, be sure to eject the disc every

time after the title input or editing operation.
