Long-play recording  
z Tracks can be recorded in stereo recording mode, 2  
times long recording mode, and 4 times long recording  
mode on one MiniDisc.  
z In monaural recording, the sound on the right and left  
channels is mixed even if the input source is in stereo.  
Although you can hear the stereo sound from the ear-  
phones, the recorded sound is monaural.  
z Tracks recorded in 2 times long recording and 4 times  
long recording modes cannot be played with the unit  
that does not support these modes. On such a unit, no  
sound is heard. (The operation and the display may  
vary depending on the unit.)  
z Tracks recorded in monaural cannot be played if  
equipment does not support the monaural playback.  
2 times and 4 times long recording  
Double or quadruple time of stereo recording is possible.  
Monaural recording  
In monaural, you can record twice as long as the stereo  
recording.  
A track recorded in monaural can be played back in dou-

About ATRAC  
d
The ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding) sys-  
tem compresses the sound data into 1/5 by cutting out  
the inaudible sound. Since the sound is selected based  
on psychoacoustics masking, the sound quality is not  
impaired. This unit is equipped with the ATRAC3 com-  
pressing system that can reduce the sound data to 1/10  
or 1/20 of its original size. By employing this system, 2  
times and 4 times long recordings are enabled in stereo  
mode.

Other Features and Caution  
ENGLISH  
Resuming auto play  
Rechargeable battery  
When you stop playback and replay the MiniDisc  
without removing it, playback starts from the point  
you stopped it.  
z A rechargeable nickel-metal hydride battery is the only  
kind that can be used. Even if the battery is not used,  
you should charge it at least once every three months  
because of the special quality of this battery.  
z The rechargeable battery can be charged approxi-  
mately 300 times.  
z When the operating time is reduced to about half the  
normal amount of time, even after a full charge is per-  
formed, replace the battery with a new one (AD-  
N55BT).  
z When the battery is charged for the first time or is  
charged after not being used for a long period, the  
operating time may be shorter than normal. The bat-  
tery life will recover with normal use i.e. charging and  
discharging.  
Once you remove the MiniDisc, playback starts from  
the first track.  
-
z To avoid shortening the service life of the battery only  
recharge the battery after it has been completely dis-  
charged.  
The unit provides the following functions when you  
use it with the separately available car adaptor (AD-  
CA55X) (when the rechargeable or alkaline battery is  
removed):  
r
z If the rechargeable battery is used in a cold environ-  
ment, the operating time will be reduced.  
z Do not carry the battery in your pocket or a bag  
together with metal objects (keys, coins, jewelry, etc.).  
The battery may short out and generate significant  
amounts of heat.  
Rfe  
F
1. When you turn off the engine, the power of this porta-  
ble MD also turns off. (It may not work with some types  
of cars.)  
2. When you restart the engine, playback starts from the  
beginning of the stopped track.  
t
-
z Do not short-circuit the terminals as they will become  
very hot and will damage the battery.  
z Do not drop or subject the battery to shock.  
z Do not insert objects (metal etc.) into the battery com-  
partment of this product or into the rechargeable bat-  
tery.

Maintenance  
Troubleshooting (continued)  
ENGLISH  
Cleaning  
If trouble occurs  
When this product is subjected to strong external interfer-  
ence (mechanical shock, excessive static electricity,  
abnormal supply voltage due to lightning, etc.) or if it is  
operated incorrectly, it may malfunction.  
When the unit becomes dirty  
Clean it with a soft cloth. When the unit is excessively  
dirty, use a soft cloth dampened in water (external sur-  
faces only).  
If such a problem occurs, do the following:  
1. Unplug the AC adaptor from the wall socket.  
2. Remove the battery.  
-
e
3. Leave the unit completely unpowered for approxi-  
mately 30 seconds.  
4. Plug the AC adaptor back into the wall socket and re-  
operate the unit.  
Moisture condensation  
When the unit has condensation inside, the disc signals  
cannot be read, and the unit may not function properly.  
M
g
r
In the following cases, condensation may form inside the  
unit.  
Clean the plugs and the connecting sockets.  
If the plugs or sockets are dirty, noise may be heard.  
Cleaning will prevent noise.  
z Shortly after turning on a heater.  
z When the unit is placed in a room where there is  
excessive steam or moisture.  
soht  
Rfe  
l
Caution:  
z When the unit is moved from a cool place to a warm  
place.  
z Do not use chemicals for cleaning (petrol, paint thin-  
ner, etc.). It may damage the cabinet finish.  
z Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause  
malfunctions.  
u
To remove condensation:  
Remove the MiniDisc and leave the unit for approxi-  
mately 1 hour. The condensation should evaporate and  
the unit will work properly.

MiniDisc System Limitations  
ENGLISH  
The unit may have the following symptoms whilst recording or editing. The unit is not out of order.  
SYMPTOM  
LIMITATIONS  
"D-FULL" or "T-FULL" appears even  
though the MiniDisc still has recording  
time left.  
More than the limited number of tracks (255) cannot be recorded regard-  
less of the recording time. If the MiniDisc is recorded or edited repeatedly  
or it has scratches (recording skips scratched parts), you may not be able  
to record the maximum number of tracks described above. If the total  
number of character information (disc, group, and track names) exceeds  
1,700, the MD cannot be edited.  
-
s
n
The remaining recording time does not in-  
crease even though you erased tracks.  
The unit does not count non-recorded portions that last 12 or fewer sec-  
onds to display the remaining recording time. The time may not increase  
even if you erase short tracks.  
mit  
The total of the recorded time and the re-  
maining time does not match the maxi-  
mum recordable time.  
One cluster (approximately 2 seconds) is the minimum unit for recording.  
For example, a 3-second track uses 2 clusters (approximately 4 sec-  
onds). Therefore, the actual recordable time may be shorter than the dis-  
played time.  
e
r
(The number of seconds indicates that in the stereo recording mode  
(SP). It varies depending on the recording mode.)  
yst  
c
Ref  
Combine function does not work.  
Sound skips in fast reverse/forward.  
A MiniDisc on which recording and editing are repeated may not allow the  
combine function.  
If one track is divided and recorded in separate places on a repeatedly  
recorded or edited MiniDisc, sound may skip.  
s
A track number is created in the middle of  
a track.  
A track number may be created if there are scratches or dust on the Mini-  
Disc.  
Even if "LP :" is entered at the top of the  
name, "LP :" is not displayed.  
If "LP :" is entered at the top of the 2 times/4 times long recorded track  
(LP2/LP4), "LP :" will not be displayed. Enter other symbols than ":" after  
"LP".
