displayed
The MiniDisc (MD) measures 64 mm in
diameter. Although the MD is housed in a
protective cartridge (68 mm x 72 mm x 5 mm)
and can be handled easily, deck malfunc-
tions may result if the cartridge gets dust on
it or is damaged. To protect the disc, always
take the following precautions:
When operating the remote control unit,
point it towards the remote sensor on the
front panel of the unit.
… A playback-only MD is loaded.
… The MD is record-protected against
accidental erasure. To make recording
(or editing) possible, slide the record-
protect tab to close the hole.
ª Battery installation
… Be sure that the MD is taken out of the
deck and put back in its MD case after
using it.
… Do not touch the disc inside the
cartridge. Do not open the shutter to
expose the MD.
… Do not place MDs in direct sunlight, high
temperatures, or high levels of humidity.
… Use a dry, soft cloth to clean the
cartridge.
… When attaching a label to the MD
cartridge, be sure to apply it correctly to
the specified position. If the label is
rolled up or partially detached, the MD
cartridge may get stuck inside the deck.
… Do not place one label on top of another.

being ejected after recording (or editing).
While it is blinking, the recorded data is
being written on the MD. Do not pull out
the power cord or vibrate the deck.
Otherwise the recorded data may not be
written correctly on the MD.
Battery replacement
If you notice that the distance between the
remote control unit and the player for
correct operation becomes shorter, it
indicates that the batteries are exhaust-
ed. In this case replace the batteries with
new ones.

System Restrictions
If you connect an IBM-compatible personal
computer keyboard (101 or 106 keys) to the
KEYBOARD terminal of this deck, you can
operate the deck control, track selection,
editing and title entry directly from the
keyboard.
… Place the provided lettering guide
around the keyboard function keys for
your reference.
Because of the different recording systems
used by Compact Cassette, DAT, etc., the
MD (Mini Disc) is subjected to some system
restrictions. These restrictions may result
in the following problems. These are
normal and are not malfunctions.

… "Track Full" is displayed before the
available recording time (max. 60 or 74
minutes) expires.
DIVIDE
"Track Full" is displayed whenever the
number of allowable tracks is reached,
regardless of the recording time still
available. With the MD system, it is not
possible to record more than 254 tracks.
If you want to record more tracks, erase
unnecessary tracks, record them on
another MD, or use the editing proce-
dure to combine existing tracks.
… "Track Full" is displayed even though
both the number of tracks and the
recording time have not been filled.
Whenever emphasis data or other signal
enhancements are switched on-off in
the middle of tracks, the track is
separated at that point and "Track Full"
may be displayed regardless of the
recording time and number of tracks.
… The remaining recording time of an MD
does not increase although you have
erased several tracks.
The remaining recording time display
ignores tracks shorter than 12 seconds.
Therefore, the time may not increase if
you have erased several short tracks.
… The total elapsed recording time and
remaining recording time does not
coincide with the available recording
time (max. 60 or 74 minutes).
The minimum unit for recording data is
usually 6 clusters (approx. 12 seconds).
Data of less than 12 seconds still uses
the 12-second space, so actual available
recording time becomes shorter than
rated. Also, if the MD is scratched, the
scratched sections are automatically
deleted and the time available is
decreased accordingly.

… Note the following when you attempt to
perform recording while erasing
(overwriting) the previous recording:
≠ The remaining recording time of the
MD may not be displayed correctly.
≠ After repeated overwrite operations,
it may no longer be possible to
overwrite recording. In this case, first
edit the previous recording (by
erasing tracks, etc.) then proceed to
the overwrite operation.
≠ The remaining recording time is
shorter after recording than it was
before recording.
≠ The overwrite operation is not
recommended if the track to be
overwritten contains noise. Since
recording is performed on a 6-cluster
basis (approx. 12 seconds), over-
writing a noisy track may erase a part
of the track.
No MD is inserted.

Guide to the Serial Copy Management System
… Rule 3
… Rule 2
Serial Copy Management
A DAT deck or an MD deck which is
compatible with 32 kHz and 48 kHz sampling
frequencies can record the digital audio of
satellite broadcasting digitally (digital-to-
digital). A first-generation DAT or MD
recorded in this way can be recorded again
on another DAT or MD digitally (digital-to-
digital). However, the second-generation
DAT or MD may not be recordable with
certain BS tuner models.
When an analog source such as an analog
System
disc or FM broadcast is digitally recorded
by using a DAT or MD, this recorded source
can be digitally recorded on another DAT or
MD. However, further digital copying is
prohibited.
This MD deck is in compliance with the
Serial Copy Management System standard.
This standard has been elaborated to
restrict digital-to-digital copying to only the
first generation. The basic rules governing
this system are as described in the
following.

MD deck
A digital recording is possible from a digital
source such as a CD, DAT or pre-mastered
MD onto a DAT or recordable MD through a
digital input connection. However, further
digital-to-digital recording is prohibited for
the second generation and later.
