Memory backup  
The typical period for which the memory can be backed up while the  
power cord is unplugged or the POWER key is set to the OFF position  
is about 3 weeks, though this may be variable depending on the  
surrounding environment.  
Incaseoflonghoursofpowerfailureorslippingoutofthepowercord,  
thedatarelatedtorecordingandediting(thatisusuallyrecordedatthe  
moment the Mini Disc is ejected) may be cleared or destroyed before  
it is written in the Mini Disc. Remember that the data lost cannot be  
recovered.  
CD TEXT  
CD TEXT is a system that is standardized to allow the display of text  
data (disc name or song title, artist name etc.) that is recorded on CDs  
in addition to music.  
By digitally connecting this unit with a CD player (CD TEXT compatible),  
the text data of a CD can be copied to an MD.  
Presently (1997), however, some CDs are equipped with a copy  
prevention code that prohibits the copying of this data. In the case of  
such CDs, copying of text data is not possible.  
After recording or editing, be sure to eject the Mini Disc so that the  
recording or editing data can be written in the disc.  
On CDs that do not include the text data copy prevention code, the

MD system  
DM-9090 (En)  
The Mini Disc system has the features as sum m arized in the follow ing.  
1 Like CD (Compact Disc), playback can be started from any position. (Random access)  
2 It uses a disc with a diameter of 64 mm that is accommodated in a cartridge.  
3 Two types of discs can be used. (playback only discs, recordable / playable discs).  
4 Up to 74 minutes of recording or playback is possible using high-efficiency coding technology.  
5 Countermeasure against vibration is taken using semiconductor memory chip.  
9
Playback-only Mini Disc  
Recordable Mini Disc  
This type of MD can be used only for playback,  
This MD is a magneto-optical disc which can  
be recorded by magnetic field modulation. To  
record signals, laser light is irradiated from the  
bottom side of the magneto-optical disc and  
magnetic field is applied from the upper side  
of it.  
and is used by the commercially-available mu-  
sic MD software packages. The playback-only  
MD is an optical disc like the Compact Disc  
(CD). The signals are recorded as the presence  
or absence of small pits and read out by an  
optical, non-contact pickup.  
Sound-skip prevention memory  
During playback, this unit always stores signals in memory temporarily to prevent sound from being skipped in case of vibration. As a result, even  
when the data from the optical pickup is interrupted due to vibration, etc., the music will not be interrupted because the memory holds the data for  
several seconds.  
Mini Disc  
When the readout from disc  
is interrupted momentarily  
due to vibration or shock, the  
reproduced sound from the  
memory will not be

High-efficiency coding technology “ATRAC” (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding)  
The Mini Disc has only a half the size of the Compact Disc but provides the same recording time. This is made possible by ATRAC*, a newly developed  
high-efficiency coding technology.  
The ATRAC compresses the music data to about 1/5 the amount of data which would be obtained with conventional technology, by cutting off the  
sound components which do not pose problem in audition even when they are not present. This has made it possible to record or play up to 74 minutes.

Monaural recording  
This unit can record a longer period of sound in monaural (monaural long-play mode). In this mode, the recording time of the disc is about double that  
in the stereo mode.  
The Mini Disc recorded in the monaural mode cannot be played with equipment which is not compatible with monaural playback.  
^
D.R.I.V.E. (Dynamic Resolution Intensive Vector Enhancement) system  
This unit incorporates the KENWOOD-original “20-bit REC D.R.I.V.E.” system so that, not to mention the CD, analog sources such as the tuner and  
analog disk turntable can also be recorded with high-quality 20-bit recording.  
The digital inputs include both optical and coaxial input jacks so that high-quality recording is possible from any digital equipment.  
1 The reproducibility of small signals is improved drastically for an excellent reproduction of fine reverberations of music. The excellence is also  
remarkable in the feeling of stability, presence, attack sound and bass reproduction.  
2 The D.R.I.V.E. system maintains the correlation between the musical components of the input and output signals and does not cause any sound  
degradation from the principle.  
MONITOR function  
This unit can be used as a 24-bit D/A converter by setting the MONITOR key.

Recording-related keys  
AUTO/MANUAL key  
DM-9090 (En)  
23  
This key is used to select w hether track num bers are to be  
m arked autom atically during recording or they are to be  
m arked m anually during or after recording. The track num -  
bers can be used to locate the beginning of a track during  
playback or program m ing tracks.  
AUTO  
If a no-sound input has lasted for 2 seconds during recording, the track  
number will be incremented automatically by “1”. Usually, use this  
position for recording. Use this mode when recording all of the tracks in  
a CD. When recording music containing a continuous section with a very  
low level, for example when recording classic music, the track number  
may be incremented by “1” after such a section. In this case, cancel the  
track number later. It is recommended to use the MANUAL mode when  
recording such a kind of music.  
Select before starting recording.  
AUTO/  
MANUAL  
During digital recording of CD, the track number is incremented auto-  
matically by “1” according to the data contained in the digital informa-  
tion. But the no-sound blank is not detected.  
When the CD track number is increased during manual search of a CD,  
the track number recorded on the MD may sometimes fail to be  
incremented.  
A nosound track may sometimes created at the moment the played CD  
stops.

During recording of a CD, the track number may be incremented by “1” at the moment the CD starts to play. This is caused by a signal  
contained in the digital signal component of the CD. Unnecessary track numbers can be erased by following the procedure for Erasing the  
track being played (TRACK ERASE).”

By connecting this unit w ith a KENWOOD “  
type am plifier and CD player, w hich are equipped w ith system control jacks,  
using system control cords, the recording of MD can be started in synchronism w ith the playback of the CD player.  
1Set the am plifiers input selector to CD.  
2Put the CD player in pause m ode.  
3Select the CD track to be recorded using the 4or ¢key.

DIGITAL recording and SCMS  
Note that the digital recording of Mini Discs is not possible in the follow ing cases.  
If the digital source has a copy prohibition code, “001 SCMS ON” is displayed and the unit enters record-pause m ode. (This  
m essage is displayed w hen copy prohibition is encountered during recording of track num ber “001”.)  
Note on the sampling rate converter  
Three types of digital signals are usually used according to the sam pling frequencies. The sam pling frequencies vary  
depending on the types of digital equipm ent as show n below .  
48 kHz  
44.1 kHz : Standard m ode of DAT, CD, MD, etc.  
32 kHz : Standard and long-hour m odes of DAT, A m ode broadcasting of BS tuner, etc.  
: Standard m ode of DAT, B m ode broadcasting of BS tuner, etc.  
In general, high-quality recording based on digital signal transm ission is available only w hen the sam pling frequency of the  
source equipm ent m atches that of the recorder equipm ent. How ever, this unit incorporates a sam pling rate converter so that  
it can also record digital signals sam pled at 48 kHz and 32 kHz by converting their sam pling frequency into the sam pling  
frequency of MD (44.1 kHz).  
The SCMS m ay be activated w ith certain type of satellite broadcasting.  
(DAT: Digital Audio Tape deck)  
SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)  
Faded recording of MD  
Designed for copyright protection, the SCMS is a pre-  
scription that copying of digital signals as they are in the  
digital form betw een digital audio equipm ent is allow able  
only for one generation.  
The fade m ode of the unit is sw itched on/ off every tim e  
the FADE key is pressed.  
Recording w ith fade-in:  
When recording is initiated during stop (or pause) in the fade  
mode, recording starts from ATT = - `, increases to the previously  
set recording level and continues at this level.  
Recording w ith fade-out:  
When recording is stopped during recording in the fade mode, the  
current recording level decreases to ATT = - ` then recording  
stops.
