Setting the CD dubbing mode

The MD-101A 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.

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.
