This manual is organized as follows:

DO NOT handle the AC power cord with wet

hands.

• The manual mainly explains operations using the

buttons and controls on the unit. You can also use the

buttons on the remote control if they have the same

or similar names (or marks) as those on the unit.

If operation using the remote control is different

from that using the unit, it is then explained.

• 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 14 – 16.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens 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:

Gives you warnings and cautions to prevent

Furthermore, gives you information which

is not good for obtaining the best possible

performance from the unit.

Others

• Should any metallic object or liquid fall into the unit,

unplug the unit 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.

DO NOT disassemble the unit since there are

no user serviceable parts inside.

Precautions

If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and

consult your dealer.

• Install in a place which is level, dry and neither too hot

nor too cold — between 5˚C (41˚F) and 35˚C (95˚F).

• Install the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to

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.

Searching for Programs by PTY Codes (PTY

Search)

More about RDS

•

Not all FM stations provide RDS signals, nor do all RDS

stations provide the same services. If in doubt, check with local

radio stations for details on RDS in your area.

RDS may not work correctly if the received station is not

transmitting the signals properly or if the signal strength is

weak.

One of the advantages of RDS is that you can locate a

particular kind of program by specifying the PTY codes.

• The PTY Search is applicable only to the preset stations.

• There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the

setting is canceled before you finish, start from step 1

again.

Changing the RDS Information

To search for a program using the PTY codes, use the

remote control:

You can see RDS information on the display while

listening to an FM station.

How the EON function actually works:

Alarm function

If an “Alarm!” (Emergency) signal is received from a

station while listening to the radio, the unit automatically

switches to the station broadcasting the “Alarm!” signal,

except when you are listening to non-RDS stations (all

AM – MW/LW and some FM stations).

CASE 1

If there is no station broadcasting the program you

have selected

The unit continues tuning in the current station.

When a station starts broadcasting the program you

have selected, the unit automatically switches to the

station. The indicator of received PTY code starts

flashing.

Test function

The TEST signal is used for testing the “Alarm!” signal.

Therefore, it makes the unit work in the same way as the

“Alarm!” signal does.

If a TEST signal is received from a station while

listening to the radio, the unit automatically switches to

the station broadcasting the TEST signal, except when

you are listening to non-RDS stations (all AM – MW/

LW and some FM stations).

When the program is over, “EON END” appears in the

main display, and the unit goes back to the previously

tuned station, but the EON function still remains

activated.

CASE 2

If there is a station broadcasting the program you

have selected

The unit tunes in the program. The indicator of received

PTY code starts flashing.

More about the EON function

EON data sent from some stations may not be compatible with

this unit.

When the program is over, “EON END” appears in the

main display, and the unit goes back to the previously

tuned station, but the EON function still remains

activated.

•

While listening to a program tuned in by the EON function, the

station does not change even if another network station starts

broadcasting a program of the same EON data.

While listening to a program tuned in by the EON function, you

can only use the EON and DISPLAY buttons as the tuner

operation buttons. If you press any other tuner operation button,

“EON LOCKED!” appears in the main display.

If the stations alternate intermittently between the station tuned

by the EON function and the currently tuned station

(“WAITING” flashes in the main display), press EON to cancel

the EON function.

CASE 3

If the FM station you are listening to is broadcasting

the program you have selected

•

The unit continues to receive the station but the

indicator of received PTY code starts flashing.

When the program is over, the indicator of received

PTY code stops flashing and remains lit, but the EON

function still remains activated.

If you do not press the button, the currently tuned station is

received finally (“NOT FOUND” appears this time), and the

indication of the EON data type flashing on the display

disappears.

Before You Start Recording

• It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs

without the consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast or cable

programme and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic embodied therein.

• The sampling frequency rate converter built in the MD recorder allows you to record a digital source if its sampling

frequency is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz. If no source equipment is connected to the AUX terminal or if the

sampling frequency of the connected equipment is not 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz, “AUX DIGITAL UNLOCK”

appears in the main display (no recording is possible).

• You cannot record the entire Dolby Digital, DTS Digital Surround, or MPEG Multichannel signals through the

AUX terminal.

• 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 “ALL ERASE

Function” on page 43).

• The recording level is automatically set correctly (except when recording from the equipment connected to the

TAPE jacks), so it is not affected by the VOLUME control. 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 active bass extension effect through the speakers or

headphones. However, the sound is recorded without these effects (see pages 15 and 16).

“DISC PROTECTED” appears in the main display.)

• 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.

To do re-recording or editing, return the tab to the closed

position.

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.

• Do not place MDs in the follow-

ing places:

Handling CDs

- High temperature areas such as

in direct sunlight or inside a

car.

- High humidity areas, e.g. in a

bathroom.

• Remove the CD from its case by

holding it at the edge while

pressing the center hole lightly.

• Do not touch the shiny surface of

the disc, or bend the CD.

- On a beach or sandy area.

• Put the CD back in its case after

use to prevent warping.

• Clean MDs regularly.

- If dust or dirt gets on cartridge, wipe it off with a soft

dry cloth.

• Be careful not to scratch the

surface of the CD when placing it

back in its case.

• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight,

temperature extremes, and

moisture.

To clean the CD

Wipe the CD with a soft cloth in a

straight line from center to edge.

DO NOT use any solvent — such as conventional

record cleaner, spray, thinner, or benzine — to clean

the CD.

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)

The MD provides 80 minute recording and playback time, the same as 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 that of the original data.

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 tracks quickly and edit tracks on the MD.

3:12

4:15

6:05

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).

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.

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 • Repeating erasure and recording on the same MD creates

and recording time do not reach the limit.

many blank portions sparsely on the MD. When record-

ing 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.

The JOIN function sometimes does not work.

• 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. Further-

more, if that track is erased, the remaining time of the

MD may not increase exactly by the erased amount.

• 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 remaining time on the MD does not increase even

when tracks are erased.

The sound drops out during fast forward or fast reverse.

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 2 seconds

in the MD. For this reason, the actual recording time of

discs may become shorter.
