able to remove it.

! If the unit starts recording from low unwanted noises

too often, set the microphone input to "MIC SYNC L".

You can record tracks by the group of artists or albums,

About Net MD

Digital audio data can be imported into the hard disk of a

PC in the following methods:

" What is a Net MD portable recorder?

The USB is adopted to ensure high compatibility of PCs

and MDs.

Audio data saved on the hard disk of a PC can be trans-

ferred to a Net MD-compatible recorder using the pro-

vided software "BeatJam".

Not only the basic operations but also the title editing of

audio data on an MD can be performed via the PC.

! Converting the music downloaded via the music distri-

bution service on the Internet into ATRAC3 of the

OpenMG system.

! Recording an audio CD via the CD-ROM drive of a PC

on the hard disk. (Compressing data with the ATRAC3

sound compressing system)

! Converting the existing MP3, WAV audio files into

ATRAC3 of the OpenMG system.

audio files

The saved audio data can be played on the existing MD

player, as its recording method is not changed when

being recorded on an MD. (To play audio data saved in

the MDLP mode, the MDLP-support MD player is

required.)

All the audio data managed by "BeatJam" is encrypted

by the OpenMG system and recorded on the hard disk of

the PC, which prevents its unauthorised use or distribu-

tion.

portable recorder IM-DR580H (check-in/

check-out)

By using the provided software "BeatJam", you can

transfer audio data from the hard disk of the PC to IM-

DR580H, the Net MD-support MD portable recorder.

" Restrictions on check-in and check-out

! One piece of audio data can be checked out up to 3

times (except for some pieces).

You cannot check out a track more than 3 times. How-

ever, if the track is returned to the PC once by using the

check-in function, you can check out the same track

again.

"Check-out" is to transfer audio data from a PC to a Net

MD-support MD portable recorder, and "check-in" is to

return it from the recorder to the same PC.

! You can check in the checked-out audio data to the

same PC only. You cannot check it in to other PCs.

Along with the popularization of the music distribution

MiniDisc System Limitations

The unit may have the following symptoms whilst recording or editing. The unit is not out of order.

SYMPTOM

LIMITATIONS

"DISC FULL" or "TOC FULL" appears

even though the MiniDisc still has re-

cording time left.

More than the limited number of tracks (255) cannot be recorded re-

gardless 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.

The remaining recording time does not

increase even though you erased

tracks.

Short tracks (stereo recording: 12 seconds, monaural recording or 2

times long recording: 24 seconds, 4 times long recording: 48 sec-

onds) may not be counted as tracks when displaying the remaining

recording time.

mit

The total of the recorded time and the

remaining time does not match the max-

imum recordable time.

One cluster (approximately 2 seconds) is the minimum unit for re-

cording. For example, a 3-second track uses 2 clusters (approximate-

ly 4 seconds). Therefore, the actual recordable time may be shorter

than the displayed time.

emL

yst

Ref

(The number of seconds indicates that in the stereo recording mode

(SP). It varies depending on the recording mode.)

iDs

Combine function does not work.

A MiniDisc on which recording and editing are repeated may not al-

low the combine function.

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

MiniDisc.

Sound skips in fast reverse/forward.

If one track is divided and recorded in separate places on a repeat-

edly recorded or edited MiniDisc, sound may skip.

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 symbols other than ":"

after "LP".

Maintenance

! Cleaning

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).

Editing is not possible.

" Are the PC and the MD portable recorder connected

improperly?

" Is the MD recorder in the hold mode?

" Is a commercial playback-only MD inserted?

Clean the plugs and the connecting sockets.

" If the plugs or sockets are dirty, noise may be heard.

Cleaning will prevent noise.

! If trouble occurs

When this product is subjected to strong external interfer-

ence (mechanical shock, excessive static electricity, abnor-

mal supply voltage due to lightning, etc.) or if it is operated

incorrectly, it may malfunction.

" Clean them periodically with a dry cotton swab (do not

use water or alcohol).

Should a failure occur, the lid may not open by sliding the

OPEN lever.

If such a problem occurs, do the following:

1. Unplug the AC adaptor from the wall socket.

2. Remove the battery.

3. Leave the unit completely unpowered for approximately 30

seconds.

4. Plug the AC adaptor back into the wall socket.

5. After about 30 seconds, press the

button as a test.

Ref

! Moisture condensation

When the unit has condensation inside, the disc signals can-

not be read, and the unit may not function properly.

In the following cases, condensation may form inside the

unit.

" Shortly after turning on a heater.

" When the unit is placed in a room where there is exces-

sive steam or moisture.

" When the unit is moved from a cool place to a warm

place.

Caution:

" Do not use chemicals for cleaning (petrol, paint thin-

ner, etc.). It may damage the cabinet finish.

" Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause

malfunctions.

To remove condensation:

Remove the MiniDisc and leave the unit for approximately 1

hour. The condensation should evaporate and the unit will

work properly.
