Setting the CD dubbing mode  
The MD-105TX provides two CD dubbing modes:  
Album dubbing and Fade Out dubbing. These  
modes are applied only to CD dubbing, but not to  
other operations, such as signal synchro recording.  
Album dubbing: If the end of the recordable  
area on the disc is reached before the track  
ends, the track will be discarded. If only one  
track is being dubbed, the track will not be  
discarded even if it was not recorded to the end.  
Fade Out dubbing: If the end of the recordable  
area on the disc is reached before the track ends,  
the last portion of the recorded track will fade out.

System limitations  
The MD recording system in the unit is  
significantly different from those used in cassette  
and DAT decks and is characterized by the  
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.  
• The remaining recordable time on the MD  
may decrease by more than the total  
recorded time, depending on the status  
of the MD or how you record.  
• Tracks created through editing may  
exhibit sound dropout during searching  
operations.  
• “Disc Full” lights up before the disc has  
reached the maximum recording time (60,  
74, or 80 minutes)  
When 256 tracks have been recorded on the  
disc, “Disc Full” lights up regardless of the  
total recorded time. More than 256 tracks  
cannot be recorded on the disc. To record new  
tracks, erase unnecessary tracks or use  
another MD.  
• Track numbers are not recorded correctly  
Incorrect assignment or recording of track  
numbers may result (1) when CD tracks are  
divided into several smaller tracks during  
digital recording, or (2) when certain CDs are  
recorded with the Level Sync On for automatic  
track marking.  
• “TOC Reading” appears for a long time  
If the inserted recordable disc is brand new,  
“TOC Reading” appears on the display longer  
than those that have been used.  
• “Disc Full” lights up before the maximum  
number of tracks is reached  
Fluctuations in emphasis within tracks are  
sometimes interpreted as track intervals,  
incrementing the track count and causing the  
“Disc Full” indication to light up.  
• The remaining recordable time on the MD  
does not increase even after erasing  
numerous short tracks.  
• Some tracks cannot be combined with  
others  
Track combination may become impossible  
when tracks are edited.

Rules for digital recording  
Rule 3  
Guide to the serial copy management  
system  
A recordable MD with material recorded from  
analog sources (analog records or FM programs,  
etc.) through the line input terminal can be  
copied to another recordable MD through the  
digital output terminal.  
However, you cannot make subsequent copies  
from the recordable MD to other recordable  
MDs through the digital output terminal.  
Subsequent copies can be made only through  
the analog output terminal.  
Since your MD unit uses the Serial Copy  
Management System (SCMS), MDs recorded  
through the digital input terminal cannot be  
used to make subsequent copies to other MDs  
through the digital output terminal. The  
following diagram shows a system for making  
copies through the digital or analog terminals.  
Rule 1  
You can record digital source (CD, premastered  
MD, and DAT equipment with a sampling  
frequency of 44.1 kHz) to a recordable MD  
through the digital input terminal.  
However, you cannot make subsequent copies  
from the recordable MD to other recordable  
MDs through the digital output terminal.  
Subsequent copies can only be made through  
analog output terminal.  
* When MD recorders are connected using  
analog terminals, the number of dubbings is  
unlimited.  
Rule 2  
You can record the digital input signal of a digital  
satellite broadcast onto a recordable MD via the  
digital input terminals on an MD recorder that is  
capable of handling a sampling frequency of 32  
kHz or 48 kHz. You can then record the contents  
of this recorded MD (first-generation) onto  
another recordable MD via digital input terminals  
on the MD recorder to create a second-generation  
digital copy.  
Note, however, that with some BS tuners, second-  
generation digital copying may not be possible.

connect the components using  
audio cables.  
• If the symptom still persists,  
disconnect the power cord plug,  
then connect the plug again. If this  
does not improve the condition,  
with the power cord plug  
connected, press and hold down  
the button for more than five  
seconds and operate the unit.  
• Excessive electrical interference may temporarily render this system‘s sensitive microcomputer  
inoperable. If this happens, unplug the system for at least five seconds.  
Condensation  
This is the same phenomena that causes windows to mist with water in a heated room during the  
winter.  
The MD recorder also sometimes gets dew (water drops) on the optical lens inside the player under  
the following conditions.  
• Immediately after you turn a heater on.  
• If the MD recorder is placed in a room full of steam or dampness.  
• If you suddenly bring the MD recorder from the cold outside into a warm room.  
If the MD recorder is exposed to dew condensation  
You can leave it as it is. Sometimes the recorder cannot read the disc signal by laser and the recorder  
will not work.  
Depending on the surrounding conditions, you can remove the disc and leave the power on for one  
hour at most. The dew will evaporate and the recorder will work properly. If it doesn't work after  
several hours, please consult the nearest Onkyo authorized service center.

Precautions for handling the MiniDisc (MD)  
The MD is housed in a cartridge, so you can handle it without worrying about dust and fingerprints.  
Even so, a dirty or warped cartridge may cause malfunction. Remember the following precautions so  
you can enjoy high-quality sound for a long time.  
Do not touch the disc in the cartridge directly with your fingers.  
Do not open the shutter by hand. Doing so may damage the disc.  
Storage location  
Avoid storing MDs in a place subject to direct sunlight, high temperature, or high humidity.  
Regular care  
Wipe off dust and dirt accumulated on the cartridge surface with a dry cloth.  
Removing a partially inserted MD  
If the “self-lock function” is activated and the MD cannot be removed, push the MD further into the  
MD recorder and then press the EJECT button to remove the MD.
