future reference.
About This Manual
Power sources
• When unplugging the unit from the wall outlet, always
pull the plug, not the AC power cord.
This manual is organized as follows:
• This manual mainly explains playback and editing
operations using the remote control, and the other
operation such as recording operations using the
buttons on the main unit.
DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet
hands.
You can use the buttons both on the remote control
and on the main unit for the same operations if they
have the same or similar names (or marks), unless
mentioned otherwise.
• Basic and common information that is the same for many
functions is grouped in one place, and is not repeated in
each procedure. For instance, we do not repeat the
information about turning on/off the unit, setting the
volume, changing the sound effects, and others, which
are explained in the section “Basic and Common
Operations” on pages 10 – 15.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lenses inside the unit in the
following cases:
• After starting heating in the room
• In a damp room
• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm place
Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this case,
leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture
evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in
again.
• The following marks are used in this manual:
Others
• The electronic swing panel may malfunction when you
use this unit under the strong light such as the sunlight.
Gives you warning and caution to prevent
from damage or risk of fire/electric shock.
Furthermore, gives you information which
is not good for obtaining the best possible
performance from the unit.
DO NOT expose this unit to the strong light.
• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit,
unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer before
operating any further.
• If you are not going to operate the unit for an extended
period of time, unplug the AC power cord from the wall
outlet.
Gives you information and hints you had
better know.

prevent internal heat buildup in the unit.
• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and the TV.
• Keep the speakers away from the TV to avoid
interference with TV.

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 55).
• 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 14).
• You can make a digital recording from an audio CD onto an MD.
When selecting FM, AM, TAPE or AUX as the source, you can make an analog 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
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 in the
main display.)
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.”
• When using CD synchronized recording, a track
mark is recorded at the beginning of each track. You
cannot put a track mark manually.
To do re-recording or editing, return the tab to the
closed position.
• When recording from an analog source such as
FM/AM broadcasts, no track mark is recorded on
the MD. This means that, when playing this MD, the
MD recorder will regard the entire recording as one
track (track 1). You will not be able to select directly
a song or navigate through songs.
However, if there is a blank of 3 seconds or more, the
MD recorder will consider it as a blank separating 2
tracks and consequently put a track mark.
Erasure prevention tab
To put a track mark manually while recording an
analog source, press SET on the remote control at the
place where you want to put a track mark.
Recording/Editing

Disc protected:
Recording/Editing
not possible
To add a track mark after recording is over, you can
use the DIVIDE function (see page 52).
If “PLAYBACK DISC” appears in the main
display when you try to record on an MD
The MD is only for playback use, not for recording (see page
68).
Download from Www.Somanu–als.3co4m.–All Manuals Search And Download.
To check the remaining recording time
1 Load an MD to record on.
2 Select the source to record.
3 Press DISP/CHARA repeatedly until “REC REMAIN”
and the remaining time based on the current recording
mode* appear in the main display.
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.
* When the source is “MD,” the remaining time will be
shown based on SP mode.
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.
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.
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.
• When editing songs (tracks) on an MD, you cannot
join (JOIN) songs (tracks) recorded in different
recording length modes (SP/LP2/LP4).
REMEMBER to check the remaining recording time
of MDs before starting recording
The remaining recording time of MDs will be calculated
and shown, based on the recording length mode (SP/LP2/
LP4) currently selected.
Before starting recording or using the Recording Timer,
check the recording time remaining on the MD for each
recording length mode (SP/LP2/LP4) and select the
optimum recording length mode.
More about MDLP
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.
•
•
About High-Speed Recording
The time for high-speed recording is half or quarter as
long as the time for normal speed recording.
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 in the main display.)
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) to protect
copyrights. (HCMS: see page 66.)
During high-speed recording
You cannot listen to any source, and therefore, cannot adjust the
volume level. (“CANNOT LISTEN” will appear if you try to
do.)
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.
If you try to re-record the same song (track) within the 74
minutes, recording is canceled and “HCMS CANNOT
COPY” appears in the main display as a warning.
About x4 speed recording
You can select x4 speed recording only when you select SP as
recording length mode.
When you select x4 speed recording, you cannot record using
Program or Random play mode.

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 Group functions
MD Group functions consist of Group play, Group
recording and Group editing.
• Group play (see page 27):
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.
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.
• Group recording (see page 36):
You can form a group while tracks are being recorded.
• Group editing:
You can edit the groups using the following functions:
- Forming a group
- Adding a track to a group
- Dividing a group
- Joining two groups
- Moving a group
- Ungrouping tracks
- Dissolving all groups
- Erasing tracks in a group
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.

Group 3
Group 1
Group 2
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.
• Group recording function:
Select this when you want to record and group tracks at
the same time (see page 36).
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 56 – 58).
About information concerning MD Group
functions
Once you edit an MD using MD Group functions, the MD is
assigned some characters as the information concerning MD
Group functions. These characters appear only when you play
back the MD using the equipment incompatible with MD Group
functions. If you edit the characters using such equipment, the
groups on the MD will be dissolved.

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 an “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 the 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).

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.
• 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 JOIN function sometimes does not work.
The remaining time on the MD does not increase even
when tracks are erased.
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.
