Precautions
1. Safeguarding against electric shocks, fire hazards and damage
1) A very low current will still flow even when the POWER button is set at STANDBY. To save power
and ensure safety when the unit is not going to be used for an extended period of time, disconnect the
power cords from the household AC outlet.
2) Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
3) To unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, always take hold of the molded plug part and pull the
plug free rather than pulling the cord.
4) If the power cord is damaged or found to have a disconnected wire or a contact failure, consult your
dealer.
5) Do not bend the cord at a sharp angle, and do not pull or twist it.
6) Do not modify the power cord in any way.
7) Do not remove the screws in order to disassemble the unit, and do not touch any of the parts inside
the unit.
8) Do not insert metallic objects into the unit.
9) Unplug the power cord if there is a chance that lightning may strike.
10) If water should find its way inside the unit, unplug the power cord from the outlet, and consult your
dealer.
11) Do not install the unit in a poorly ventilated location.
2. Installation
1) Avoid placing the unit on or adjacent to an amplifier: this is to prevent the humming caused by the
unit’s proximity to some types of amplifiers. Move the unit where it will not be affected by the
amplifier.
2) Avoid installing the unit where the ambient temperature will exceed 35 °C (95 °F) (namely, in direct
sunlight, near a heating appliance, etc.) or drop below 5 °C (41 °F), where it it is very humid or
dusty, or where the unit will be subject to vibration.
3) The unit may not function properly if it is moved suddenly from a cold place (0 °C (32 °F)) to a
warm place since condensation may form inside the unit. In such a case, leave the unit standing for
about 30 minutes, after which time it should function properly.
3. Cleaning the cabinet
Never use benzine or paint thinners to clean the cabinet as they may mar the unit’s surface finish.

• To input titles, the remote control
can be operated sideways. Refer
to page 10 for the names of the
buttons.
How to use the remote control correctly —————————
•
•
Point the remote control correctly at the remote control sensor on the main unit, and press the buttons.
The remote control can be operated at a distance of up to 7 meters or so from the remote control
sensor. This distance will be less if the remote control is operated from a position which is not
directly in front or on the same level as the main unit.
When the distance over which the remote control can be operated starts to drop, it means that the
batteries are nearing the end of their service life.
Replace both batteries (size “AAA”, R03 or UM4 alkaline batteries) with fresh units.
The dry batteries provided with the unit are for operational check purposes. Replace them with fresh
units at the earliest opportunity.

When the above button is then pressed,

Stopping CD play —————————————————————
• Stopping play at any time
•
When the button on the left is pressed after the function has been set to “CD,” the track number
and play time appear on the display.
When all the tracks on a CD have been played through, play will stop automatically.
• Stopping play temporarily
•
If the button on the left is pressed when the function has been set to the “CD” mode, the play
status display and 8 indicator flash. When it is pressed again, play is resumed from the place
where it was stopped.
• Concerning the CD numbers and play status display
The display shows for each CD tray whether or not a CD has been inserted as well as the play status
of the CD.
While a CD is playing, this lights in sequence,
and it flashes in the pause mode. It goes off when
“NO DISC” is displayed to indicate that a disc has
not been inserted.
This is displayed when
CD text has been entered.
The CD on the CD tray for which
this has lighted is playing.
Precaution concerning volume setting
Unlike analog records, CDs have very low levels of noise. If you set the volume on the basis of the
level of the noise heard during the intro as you might with an analog record, an unexpectedly loud
sound may be delivered as a result. Before turning off the power, turn down the volume to prevent
this from happening.
If, in step 2, the CD1 button is pressed first while the CD tray is open, the CD tray will close, and play
will start from the first track on that CD.
Storing CDs
•
•
Always ensure that each CD is stored in its own case.
Do not place CDs in direct sunlight, near a heating appliance or any other location which is
susceptible to high temperatures.
If cellophane tape, an adhesive sticker or some other form of glue is present on the label side, clean it
off before use.
-
-
-
Do not stick adhesive labels or write anything on a CD.
Do not bend CDs.
Do NOT insert shaped CDs, such as CDs in a heart, flower or other shape, because their shape does
not match the shape of the CD tray, and using them will give rise to malfunctioning.

<Tips and Precautions>
• To ensure that the MD sound remains perfect
Each MD disc is housed inside a cartridge which protects it from dust and dirt and which ensures easy
handling. However, bear in mind the following precautions to ensure that its sound remains perfect.
Do not open the shutter!
The shutter is locked to prevent it from opening. Forcing it open will break the disc.

Keep MDs away from the following locations!
Do not place or keep MDs in any of the following locations.
•
Any location exposed to direct sunlight, inside a car or wherever the temperature may increase to
a very high level
Such locations will warp the discs and render them unusable.
A bathroom or other extremely humid location
The disc may rust.
•
•
A beach, sandbox or other sandy location
Fine particles will enter through the gaps in the cartridge, dirtying or scratching the disc surface.

Adding track numbers ———————————————————
• Recording the numbers automatically
With CD digital recordings, the numbers are added automatically following the numbers in the
recording source.
• Adding your own numbers (at any time except during synchro REC)
When MANUAL is set using the TRACK MARKING button and the SET button on the main unit or
remote control is pressed during recording, a number can be added exactly where desired.
Sampling rate converter——————————————————
The unit incorporates a sampling rate converter to ensure that the original digital signals will be recorded
regardless of the sampling frequency (32 kHz, 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz) of the recording source.
Microphone connections —————————————————
Use a microphone equipped with a standard plug.
Microphone

• If the microphone has an
standard plug
ON/OFF switch, set it to ON.
NOTICE
• To prevent the erasure of important recordings
Each recording MD comes with an accidental erasure prevention knob to ensure that important
recordings will be not erased by mistake. After recording or editing material, slide the knob on the
cartridge side to the open position. This prevents recording over or editing of the existing material.
To proceed with recording over or editing, return the knob to the closed position.
Accidental erasure prevention knob

material from being erased
accidentally.
• When sticking adhesive labels onto MD cartridges for use
Adhere the label securely all the way to the edge of the cartridge so that it will not peel off. If the
label protrudes from its adhesion area or is not adhered properly, it may not be possible to eject the
MD or some other trouble may result.
Analog signals are recorded when the line input and mic input signals are mixed and recorded.
The recording input level must be adjusted.
The “DISC PROTECTED” display appears 3 times and then is released when recording operations
are performed for a MD whose accidental erasure prevention knob has been set to the open position.

MD Editing Functions
In addition to its recording and play functions, the MD part of this combination unit comes with editing functions. Recorded tracks can be
joined, divided or erased exactly where required.
Dividing tracks (DIVIDE function)
This involves adding a track mark (see Note) at some point during
the track which is to be made into the start of an additional track
so that the original track is divided into two tracks.
Erasing tracks (ERASE function)
This enables unnecessary tracks, narration, etc. to be erased
speedily. The erased parts do not remain as silences but are closed
up by the subsequent tracks.

TEXT COMPU LINK Control System
This system transfers text information back and forth between the individual components of an audio system, and it enables CD text and MD
text information to be displayed on the receiver (or amplifier) or on the TV screen, in which case it uses the on-screen display function of the
receiver (or amplifier). The following operations can be performed by connecting the unit using the TEXT COMPU LINK function.
• Tracks can be selected by checking their disc and track titles displayed on the TV screen.
• Disc or track titles can be input for recording MDs using the TV screen.
• When recording material from a CD which supports the CD TEXT function to an MD, the CD TEXT track title information is recorded in
its original form onto the MD.

Information on MDs (Minidiscs)
This is a new digital audio disc format: it has a diameter of 64 mm and enables up to 74 minutes of playback and recording.
Function of the cartridge
ATRAC (Adaptive Transform Acoustic
The diameter of the actual disc is 64 mm, making it slightly smaller
than CD singles. Each disc is housed in a cartridge. The pocket-
size cartridge measures 68 x 72 mm and is 5 mm thick. It is easy to
carry about and store. Since the disc is protected by the cartridge, it
is kept free from dust and dirt, and there is no danger of the disc
being scratched or exposed to fingerprints due to the shutter which
is closed at all times except while the disc is being used. All in all,
these features make the minidisc extremely easy to use.
Coding)
Sound contains some elements which are not actually very audible.
For instance, when the sound is soft, it is hard to hear the bass and
treble. Also, during or immediately after a passage of loud sound,
soft sounds cannot be heard even though they may be there. A
technique called ATRAC (Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding) is
used with MDs to select or dispense with sounds on the basis of our
acoustic characteristics so that the data is compressed into a small
quantity. It compresses the data to be recorded into about one-fifth
of the original data so that it can be stored even on a small-size MD.

Two types of discs available
MDs come in two types: the recording MD which can be used for
recording, and the play-only MD which can be used for playback
only. Both types use the same system for playback: a laser beam is
directed onto the disc and the signals are read out by its reflection.
However, the system for recording is different.
Low | Sound range \ High
Sound range and sensitivity of our ears
Sound jump guard memory
When an MD is played, a function (sound jump guard memory)
operates to store the data of the track being played instantly in a
memory to prevent jumps in the sound due to vibration. When the
disc signals cannot be read by the optical laser because of vibration,
the function uses the data in the “sound jump guard memory” to
ensure that there are no breaks in the sound actually heard.
Play-only MDs
This type of MD is used for pre-recorded MDs available on the
market. It cannot be used for recording. As with CDs, data is
recorded by the presence or absence of small indentations called
pits. A disc with this kind of recording system is called an “optical
disc.”

Recording MDs
This is the “blank” type of MD which can be used for recording. Its
data is recorded using magnetism which is easily processed so that
recordings can be made again and again. By using a laser beam to
heat spots on its surface to cancel out the magnetism, the data is
recorded using a magnetic head. A disc with this kind of recording
system is called a “magneto-optical disc.”
UTOC (User Table of Contents)
In addition to the data of its tracks, a recording MD comes with the
UTOC contents facility. This records the position of each track, the
breaks between the tracks, the track sequence, etc., and tracks can be
searched quickly by viewing these contents. During editing, all that
changes is the UTOC contents: the tracks themselves need not be re-
recorded.

Restrictions Imposed by MDs (Minidiscs)
MDs use their own system to record information which is different from conventional cassette tapes and DAT tapes. This system has a
number of restrictions which sometimes give rise to the following symptoms. These symptoms do not, however, indicate that something is
wrong with the product.
Symptom
Cause
The number of tracks which can be recorded on an MD is limited, and this has nothing to
do with the recording time. Track numbers 255 and above cannot be recorded.
“DISC FULL” is displayed even though the
recording time displayed for the MD has not
been used up.
When some of the MD recordings are erased and replaced with new recording repeatedly,
empty areas are formed on parts of the disc. When a recording is made on this kind of disc,
the data of a track is divided in bits and pieces among and recorded on these empty areas.
When the number of these divided areas increases, “DISC FULL” may be displayed during
recording. If the data is divided so that some parts are less than 8 seconds in length, it may
not be possible to use the JOIN function to join the track concerned. In addition, the
remaining time will not increase even if these parts are erased. The sound of tracks which
have been divided up in bits and pieces and recorded may break up during rapid advance or
rapid reverse operations.
“DISC FULL” is displayed despite sufficient
leeway in track numbers and recording time.
It is sometimes not possible to use the JOIN
function.
The remaining time is not increased even
though tracks are deleted.
The sound is sometimes skipped during rapid
advance or rapid reverse operations.
Recording on an MD is not possible unless there are successive spaces at least 2 seconds in
length. For this reason, a shorter recording time will be displayed for an MD with a large
number of short empty areas.
The recorded time and the remaining time
together do not equal the recording time
displayed for the MD.
Restriction on Copying Digital Material
Due to copyright and other considerations, the following restriction is now in place for MDs onto which the digital signals of CDs have been
copied.
SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)
MDs can digitally record the clear sound of CDs. However, it is now not possible to copy the digital signals of an MD recorded in this way
onto another MD using another unit. In other words, copies of copies cannot be made. This restriction is known as SCMS (Serial Copy
Management System).
This unit is designed to comply with this restriction.

The copyright laws allow recordings to be made for the personal enjoyment of the individual user but they do not allow such recordings to be
used for other any purposes without permission from the holder of the copyrights.
MDs on which CD sound has been recorded using this unit cannot be digitally copied by other units.

• If the unit fails to operate properly even when the remedial action suggested above has
been taken:
This unit uses a microcomputer to perform a large number of operations. If it fails to operate no matter which button is pressed, disconnect
the power cord, and then wait a few moments before re-connecting it. Then set the time and re-program the timer.
If something important is going to be recorded, always test-record first to check that the recording turns out properly before proceeding
with the actual recording.
The manufacturer assumes no liability whatsoever for any damages resulting from missed opportunities while conducting recording,
playback or CD play operations due to malfunctioning of or trouble in the unit, or for any incidental damage.
