BASIC INFORMATION ON MINIDISCS  
H Note about making digital copies  
H Differences from tape recordings  
MiniDiscs are designed so that further copies cannot be made  
from digitally recorded MiniDisc tracks. This is a specification of  
the SCMS (Serial Copy Management System).  
You cannot record music on the back side of a MiniDisc.  
MiniDiscs cannot be inserted when they are turned over.  
(Page 18)  
H About track numbers  
When you make a recording on a MiniDisc, track numbers are  
created automatically.  
You don’t need to search for the starting point at which to  
record.  
When recording from CDs inserted in this unit or making  
a digital recording from an external unit (CD or MD)  
Theunitautomaticallyfindsthepointatwhichrecordingcanstart.  
Recording will start from that point.  
Newtracknumberswillbecreatedautomaticallyaccordingtothe

You can check the total or remaining recordable time  
(possible recording) before recording.

H Information (TOC) to be recored on an

When recording from this unit's radio  
The TOC (Table of Contents) is information on track numbers  
and recording areas to allow the unit to recognize musical  
selections or sounds.  
The entire MD is controlled depending on this TOC, which  
enables the unit to find the beginning of a track quickly or to  
automatically record in a vacant area.  
One continuous recording is regarded as a single track.

A track can be divided into two tracks. If two selections were  
recorded as a single track because there was not enough silent  
space between the tracks, you can use the DIVIDE function to  
separate the selections.  
This feature is also convenient for identifying specific points with

WHAT IS A MINIDISC?  
The disc is stored in a cartridge. You can handle it easily without  
worrying about dust, fingerprints, etc.  
However, dust entering the opening of the cartridge, dirt on the  
cartridge, etc. may cause malfunctions. Please note the follow-  
ing.  
Disc  
Shutter  
Cartridge  
H Handling MiniDiscs  
Do not touch the disc directly!  
Do not open the shutter or touch the disc directly.  
If the shutter is opened forcibly, it may break.  
Where not to store discs:  
Do not store discs in places with high temperatures or humidity.  
Specifically, do not leave discs in places exposed to direct  
sunlight or in cars with doors and windows closed.  
Donotleavediscsinplaceswheresandcangetintothecartridge  
easily (e.g., a beach).  
Regular cleaning:  
If the surface of the cartridge becomes dusty or dirty, clean it with  
a soft, dry cloth.  
H To prevent recorded discs from being  
erased accidentally  
(accidental erasure prevention)  
Slide the accidental erasure prevention tab, located on the side  
of the disc, in the direction indicated by the arrow.  
I The disc will then be protected against accidental erasure.  
I To add a recording to such a disc, slide the accidental erasure  
prevention tab back to its original position.  
Tab  
H What is a MiniDisc?  
I A MiniDisc is a 2-1/2" (64-mm) diameter disc which is stored  
in a cartridge. MiniDiscs are easy to handle, compared with  
compact discs, because they are protected against dust and  
scratches.  
I Recording and playback use a digital system with a sound  
quality that is similar to that with compact discs.  
MiniDiscs cannot twist or stretch like tapes. The quality of  
sound will not deteriorate. MiniDiscs are extremely durable.  
I Never disassemble a MiniDisc.  
H Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding  
[ATRAC]  
ATRAC(AdaptiveTRansformAcousticCoding)isanewtechnol-  
ogy that is designed to eliminate the information in sounds which  
you can not hear and to compress the remaining sound data so  
that the recording uses about 1/5 of the original sound informa-  
tion.  
Sound data is analyzed and filtered to take advantage of psycho  
acoustic masking. The acoustic quality of the sound is not  
impaired.

H Types of discs  
There are two types of MiniDiscs: playback-only and recordable  
type.  
Label  
I Playback-only MiniDisc:  
This type of MiniDisc is used for commercially available pre-  
recorded music. This is the same kind of optical disc as a CD.  
Playback is performed using an optical pickup. (Recording  
and editing are not possible.)  
A shutter is used on only one side (back).  
Label  
I Recordable MiniDisc:  
This is a “blank disc” which recording can be performed. A  
magneto optical disc is used.  
Recordings are made using a laser and a magnet. Repeated  
Shutters will be used on both sides.  
recording is possible.  
H High-speed access  
Disc  
A unique feature of the MiniDisc is the ability to locate the  
beginning of a desired track at high speed.  
This is because the track number and track name data are stored  
in a TOC (Table of Contents).  
H Shock-Resistant Memory  
TOC  
Sound data  
During playback, approximately 10 seconds of information is  
stored in the semiconductor memory. Therefore, even when the  
pickup cannot read information for a second or two because of  
external shock, the sound continues without interruption be-  
cause the information stored in memory is output.  
MINIDISC SYSTEM LIMITATIONS  
Even if the maximum recording time of a MiniDisc is not  
reached, “DISC FULL” or “TOC FULL” may be displayed.  
When the number of tracks used reaches the limit, regardless of the remainder being  
recording time, further recording will be impossible. (Maximum number of tracks: 255)  
Even if the number of tracks and the recording time have  
reached the limit, “DISC FULL” may be displayed.  
When emphasis information (equalizer treatment in the treble section) in a track  
switches on/off many times, each change is assumed to be the beginning of a new  
track, which will quickly use up all available track numbers, making further recording  
impossible, regardless of the remaining time, recording time or the number of tracks  
on the original.  
Even if several short tracks are erased, the remaining  
recording time may not show an increase.  
When the remaining recording time of a disc is displayed, short tracks less than 12  
seconds long may not be included in the total.  
Two tracks may not be combined in editing.  
For MiniDiscs which repeated recording and editing operations were performed, the  
COMBINE function may not work.  
The total of the recorded time and time remaining on a disc  
may not add up to the maximum possible recording time.  
A cluster (about 2 seconds) is normally the minimum unit of recording. So, even if a  
track is less than 2 seconds long, it will use about 2 seconds of space on the disc.  
Therefore,thetimeactuallyavailableforrecordingmaybelessthantheremainingtime  
displayed.  
If there are scratches on a disc, those sections will be automatically avoided (no  
recording will be placed in those sections). Therefore, recording time will be  
reduced.
