MD – Recording

Playing only the tracks in

the desired group

Before you start recording

MDs (MiniDisc) let you digitally record and

play music with high quality sound. Another

feature of MDs is track marking. The track

marking feature lets you quickly locate a

specific point or easily edit the recorded tracks.

However, depending on the source you record,

the recording method and the way the track

numbers are recorded differ.

This function allows you to listen only to your

favorite tracks which you have registered into a

group. For details of the Group Function, see

page 18.

1 Press FUNCTION repeatedly to switch

the function to MD.

2 Press GROUP ON/OFF in stop mode

repeatedly until GROUP indicator lights

up.

When the source you record from is:

• This system’s CD player

– The MD deck performs digital recording.*¹

3 Press GROUP SKIP repeatedly until the

desired group appears.

– Track numbers are automatically marked as

on the original CD. However, track numbers

are not marked depending on the track (page

63).

4 To start playing from a specific track in

the group, turn l/L clockwise or

counterclockwise (or press . or >

on the remote repeatedly) until the

desired track appears.

• Other digital components

connected to the DIGITAL

OPTICAL IN jack

– The MD deck performs digital recording.*¹

Proceed to step 5 when you start playing

from the first track in the group.

– Track numbers are marked differently

depending on the source you record.

5 Press MD NX (or N on the remote).

Play starts.

• This system’s tuner or other

analog components connected to

the ANALOG IN jacks

– The MD deck performs analog recording.*²

When the playing of the last track in the

group finishes, the MD deck stops

automatically.

Tip

– A track number is marked at the beginning

of a recording only, but when you turn on the

Level Synchro Recording Function (page

24), track numbers are automatically marked

in sync with the level of the input signal.

You can perform the operations on pages 13–15 only

for the tracks in the group.

To select the desired play mode, select the play mode

before step 3.

Note

If you select a group that does not have any tracks

registered and press MD NX (or N on the

remote), playback starts from the first track of the

first group on the MD.

After recording

Press MD Z to remove the MD or press

?/1 (power) to turn off the system.

You cannot record while overwriting the

recorded tracks.

“TOC” or “STANDBY” starts flashing. The

TOC is updated and recording is completed.

Recording starts after the recorded tracks.

If you want to erase the recorded tracks, erase

the tracks using Erase function (page 33).

Before pulling out the power cord

MD recording is completed when the MD

Table of Contents (TOC) is updated. The TOC

is updated when you eject the MD or press ?/1

to turn off the system. Do not pull out the

mains lead before updating the TOC or while

updating the TOC (while “TOC” lights up or

flashes) to ensure a complete recording.

Note on MD track numbers

On an MD, the track numbers (track sequence),

track start and end point information, etc., are

recorded in the TOC*³area independent of the

sound information. You can edit recorded

tracks quickly by modifying the TOC

information.

Protecting a recorded MD

About recording errors

To protect a recorded MD, slide the tab on the

side of the MD to open the slot. In this position,

the MD cannot be recorded. To record on the

MD, slide the tab to close the slot.

•

With the following kinds of CDs, you may

experience a reading failure or noise when

recorded on an MD:

— CDs with adhesive labels attached to them

— Irregularly shaped CDs (for example, heart- or

star- shaped)

Tab

— CDs with printed text concentrated on one side

only

— Scratched CDs

— Dirty CDs

— Warped CDs

Slide the tab

• If the following occurs during CD playback or

recording, a reading error may occur or noise may

be produced in the recorded results:

— The disc tray or other part of the system is

bumped.

— The system is placed on an uneven or soft

surface.

— The system is located near a speaker, door, or

other source of vibration.

• If the above reading errors occur, an extra soundless

track may be created. You can erase these extra

tracks using Erase Function (page 33).

How is group information

recorded?

Recording tracks in

groups

When recording using the Group Function, the

group management information is

automatically recorded on the MD as the disc

title. Specifically, a character string such as the

following is written in the disc title recording

area.

— Group Function

What is the Group Function?

The Group Function allows you to play, record

and edit the tracks on an MD in groups. This is

convenient for managing multiple CD albums

recorded in MDLP mode onto a single MD.

The Group Function is turned on and off by

pressing GROUP ON/OFF.

Disc title recording area

0 ; Favorites // 1 – 5 ; Rock // 6 – 9 ; Pops // ...

1 The disc title is “Favorites”.

Group Function: Off

2 Tracks 1 to 5 are registered in the “Rock”

group.

Disc

3 Tracks 6 to 9 are registered in the “Pops”

group.

Track

Therefore, when an MD recorded using the

Group Function is loaded on a system that does

not support the Group Function or on this

system with the Group Function turned off, the

above character string is displayed in its

entirety as the disc title.

Note that if you rewrite this character

string by mistake using the Name

Function, you may be unable to use the

Group Function of that MD.*

Function again, first perform the procedure for

“Releasing the registrations of all tracks on an MD”

on page 32 and release the registrations of all tracks

on the MD.

eject the MD or turn off the system.

• When the Group Function is on, tracks which are

not registered to a group are not displayed and

cannot be played.

• You cannot change the group order.

• If you load a disc with group management

information written in other than the proper format,

Marking track numbers

Recording tips

• Automatically during recording (Level

Synchro Recording)

Adding “LP:” to a track name

during MDLP recording

Track numbers are automatically marked as on

the original source during recording from this

system’s CD player or components connected

to DIGITAL OPTICAL IN jack. However,

track numbers are not marked depending on the

track (page 63).

You can add “LP:” at the beginning of the track

title which appears when you try to play the

track on a system that does not support MDLP

mode. This convenient function lets you know

at a glance that the track is recorded in MDLP

mode and cannot be played back.

Use the Level Synchro Recording Function to

automatically mark track numbers during

recording from this system’s tuner or

components connected to the ANALOG IN

jacks. However, track numbers are not marked

automatically if the source sound to be

recorded is noisy (e.g., tapes or radio

programs).

It does not appear when the system supports

MDLP mode.

Additional Information

On operation

• If the system is brought directly from a cold to a

warm location, or is placed in a very damp room,

moisture may condense on the lens inside the CD

player. Should this occur, the system will not

operate properly. Remove the disc and leave the

system turned on for about an hour until the

moisture evaporates.

Precautions

On operating voltage

Before operating the system, check that the operating

voltage of your system is identical with the voltage of

your local power supply.

• When you move the system, take out any disc.

On safety

If you have any questions or problems concerning

your system, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power

source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall

outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

• Unplug the system from the wall outlet (mains) if it

is not to be used for an extended period of time. To

disconnect the power cord (mains lead), pull it out

by the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the

system, unplug the system and have it checked by

qualified personnel before operating it any further.

• AC power cord must be changed only at the

qualified service shop.

On the speaker system

This speaker system is not magnetically shielded and

the picture on TV sets may become magnetically

distorted. In such a case, turn off the power of the TV

set, and after 15 to 30 minutes turn it on again.

If there seems to be no improvement, locate

the speaker system further away from the TV set.

Also, be sure not to place objects in which magnets

are attached or used near the speaker system, such as

audio racks, TV stands, and toys. These may cause

magnetic distortion to the picture due to their

interaction with the system.

• When you connect the mains lead to the mains,

even if the power is off, the system begins charging

for remote and timer functions. Therefore the

surface of this unit become warm, this is normal.

Notes on MDs

• Do not open the shutter to expose the MD. Close

the shutter immediately if the shutter opens.

• Affix the label supplied with the disc only to the

specified label indentation. Do not affix the label

around the shutter or in other locations. Note that

the shape of the indentation depends on the disc.

On placement

• If you raise the volume during use, the system fan

turns on automatically to pevent heat build-up in the

system. To ensure efficient heat radiation, leave

sufficient space to the rear, and do not place

anything on the top of the system.

• Place the system in a location with adequate

ventilation to prevent heat build up.

• Do not place the system in an inclined position.

— Extremely hot or cold

Label

position

Shutter

— Dusty or dirty

— Very humid

— Subject to vibrations

— Subject to direct sunlight.

• Wipe the disc cartridge with a dry cloth to remove

dirt.

• Use caution when placing the unit or speakers on

surfaces that have been specially treated (with wax,

oil, polish, etc.) as staining or discoloraion of the

surface may result.

• Do not expose the MD to direct sunlight or heat

sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car

parked in direct sunlight.

On heat buildup

• Although the system heats up during operation, this

is not a malfunction.

continued

• Place the system in a location with adequate

ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the system.

If you continuously use this system at a large volume,

the cabinet temperature of the top, side and bottom

rises considerably. To avoid burning yourself, do not

touch the cabinet.

To prevent a malfunction, do not cover the ventilation

hole for the cooling fan.

Precautions (continued)

To save a tape permanently

To prevent a tape from being accidentally recorded

over, break off the cassette tab from side A or B as

illustrated.

Notes on CDs

• Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth.

Wipe the CD from the center out.

• Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner,

commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray

intended for vinyl LPs.

Break off the

cassette tab

• Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat

sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car

parked in direct sunlight.

If you later want to reuse the tape for recording, cover

the broken tab with adhesive tape.

• Do not use a CD encircled with a protection ring.

This may cause a malfunction to the system.

• When using a CD that have glue or similar tacky

substance on the label side of the CD or that used a

special ink when the label was printed, there is a

chance that the CD or label may become attached to

parts inside this unit. When this occurs, it may not

be possible to remove the CD, and may also cause

this unit to malfunction. Be sure to check that the

label side of the CD is not sticky before using.

The following types of disc should not be used:

— Rental or used CD with attached seals where

the glue extends beyond the seal. The perimeter

of the seal on the CD is tacky.

Before placing a cassette in the tape

deck

Take up any slack in the tape. Otherwise, the tape

may get entangled in the parts of the tape deck and

become damaged.

When using a tape longer than

90 minutes

The tape is very elastic. Do not change the tape

operations such as play, stop, and fast-winding

frequently. The tape may get entangled in the tape

deck.

— CDs that have labels printed using a special ink

that feels tacky when touched.

• CDs with non-standard shapes (e.g., heart, square,

star) cannot be played on this unit. Attempting to do

so may damage the unit. Do not use such CDs.

Cleaning the tape heads

Clean the tape heads after every 10 hours of use.

Be sure to clean the tape heads before you start an

important recording or after playing an old tape.

Use a separately sold dry-type or wet-type cleaning

cassette. For details, refer to the instructions of the

cleaning cassette.

Note on CD-R/CD-RW playback

Discs recorded on CD-R/CD-RW drives may not be

played back because of scratches, dirt, recording

condition or the drive’s characteristics. Besides, the

discs, which are not yet finalized at the end of

recording, cannot be played back.

Demagnetising the tape heads

Demagnetise the tape heads and the metal parts that

have contact with the tape after every 20 to 30 hours

of use with a separately sold demagnetising cassette.

For details, refer to the instructions of the

demagnetising cassette.

Cleaning the cabinet

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth

slightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Do

not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or

solvent such as thinner, benzene or alcohol.

The total recorded time and the

remaining time on the MD do not add

up to the maximum recording time

Recording is done in minimum units of 2 seconds*

each, no matter how short the material. The recorded

contents may be shorter than the maximum recording

capacity. Disc space may also be reduced by

scratches.

System limitations of MDs

The recording system in your MD deck has the

limitations described below.

Note, however, that these limitations are due to

the inherent nature of the MD recording system

itself, not to mechanical causes.

* During Stereo recording.

“Disc Full!” appears before the MD

has reached the maximum recording

time

When 255 tracks have been recorded on the MD,

“Disc Full!” appears regardless of the total recorded

time. More than 255 tracks cannot be recorded on the

MD. To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks

or use another recordable MD.

In Monaural or LP2 Stereo mode: about 4 seconds

In LP4 Stereo mode: about 8 seconds

The sound may drop-out while

searching the edited tracks

Tracks created through editing may exhibit sound

dropout during searching because high-speed

playback requires time to search for the position on

the disc when the tracks are not in order.

“Disc Full!” appears before the

maximum number of tracks (255) is

reached

Fluctuations in emphasis within tracks are sometimes

interpreted as track intervals, increasing the track

count and causing “Disc Full!” to appear.

Track numbers cannot be marked

Even in the Level Synchro Recording, the track

numbers may not be marked at the beginning of the

track:

• if the input signal is below a certain fixed level for

less than 2 seconds between tracks.

• if the input signal is below a certain fixed level for

more than 2 seconds in the middle of the track.

• if you record a track that is 4 seconds or less*.

* During Stereo, Monaural or LP2 Stereo recording

mode (In LP4 Stereo recording mode: 8 seconds or

less).

“Group Full!” appears in the display

• When the Group Function is on, “Group Full!” may

be displayed if editing is performed. This means

there are insufficient characters for group

management. Delete any unnecessary disc titles,

group titles or other characters.

Extra tracks are created

When there is a long silence between CD tracks, an

extra track may be created.

• Even when the Group Function is off, the group

management information is updated automatically

when Move, Divide and other editing operations are

performed, so “Group Full!” may be displayed.

The number of tracks on the CD and

the recorded MD is different

When there are short tracks on the CD, the number fo

tracks recorded on the MD may differ from that of the

CD.

The remaining recording time does

not increase even after erasing

numerous short tracks

Tracks shorter than 12 seconds* are not counted, so

erasing them may not increase the recording time.

* During Stereo recording.

In Monaural or LP2 Stereo mode: about 24 seconds

In LP4 Stereo mode: about 48 seconds

continued

“Impossible” appears when you use

A-B Erase Function or Combine

Function

This happens when you have edited the same track

many times. This is due to a technical limitaiton of

the MD system and is not a mechanical error.

Guide to the Serial Copy

Management System

Digital audio components, such as CDs, MDs, and

DATs let you copy music easily with high quality by

processing music as a digital signal.

To protect the copyrighted music programs, this

system uses the Serial Copy Management System that

allows you to make only a single copy of a digitally

recorded source through digital-to-digital

connections.
