SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
“SOME DOS AND DON’TS ON THE SAFE USE OF EQUIPMENT”  
This equipment has been disigned and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical equipment,  
care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.  
✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮  
Do read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.  
Do ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and interconnections between pieces of  
equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains plug  
when making or changing connections.  
Do consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.  
Do be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.  
✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮✮  
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way–switch  
off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.  
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.  
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for unattended opera-  
tion or has a standby mode.  
Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that your family know how to do this.  
Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.  
DON’T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffic safety. It is  
illegal to watch television whilst driving.  
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume as such use can permanently damage your hearing.  
DON’T obstruct the ventilation of the equipment, for example with curtains or soft furnishings.  
Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.  
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws — to ensure complete safety always fit the manufacturer’s  
approved stand or legs with the fixings provided according to the instructions.  
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to rain or moisture.  
ABOVE ALL  
— NEVER let anyone, especially children, push anything into holes, slots or any other opening in the case -this could result  
in a fatal electrical shock.;  
— NEVER guess or take chances with electrical equipment of any kind  
— it is better to be safe than sorry!

Recording onto an MD from any of the sound sources is simple. Just  
insert an MD to the Unit, have the source ready, make one or two  
settings, and you are ready to record. For each source, the procedure  
is a little bit different so we explain each separately. But first, here  
are a few things to make your recordings better.  
(See "Checking the Remaining Time of the MD for CD Synchro

Standard Recording  
You can record from the tuner or an auxiliary equipment to an MD  
as follows.

Information on MDs (Minidiscs)  
■  
This is a new digital audio disc format: it has a diameter of 64 mm  
and enables up to 74 minutes of playback and recording.  
Cartridge  
The cartridge  
Disc  
The diameter of the disc itself is 64 mm, smaller than a CD single.  
The disc sits inside a 68 × 72 mm cartridge, which also being pocket  
size, makes minidiscs extremely handy for carrying and storage.  
Since the disc is protected by the cartridge, dust and dirt cannot eas-  
ily get into it. And thanks to a shutter which is closed at all times  
except during use, there is no need to worry about scratches or fin-  
ger marks, making the handling of minidiscs very simple.

Two types of minidisc  
ATRAC (Adaptive Transform Acous-  
There are two types of minidisc, “recordable MDs” and “playback-  
only MDs.” The playback method for each is the same: a laser irra-  
diates the disc and the signal is read from the beam which comes  
back. However, the recording method for each type is different.  
tic Coding)  
Within recordings, there are sounds which cannot be readily heard.  
For example, as the volume decreases, high-pitched sounds and  
low-pitched sounds become difficult to hear. also, if a quiet sound  
comes at the same time as or just after a loud sound, it will not be  
heard. With minidiscs, data is compressed using a technology called  
ATRAC (Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding) which selectively  
chooses sounds based on human sense of hearing characteristics.  
With this technology, the recorded data is about one-fifth the vol-  
ume of the original data, allowing it to fit on a compact minidisc.  
Playback-only MD  
This is the type used for commercially-available pre-recorded MDs,  
on which recording cannot be done. Like a CD, data is recorded  
based on the presence or absence of small indentations called pits.  
A disc recorded with this format is called an “optical disc.”

These are the so-called “blank” MDs you can use to make your own  
recordings. Data is recorded by magnetism, which is easily proc-  
essed, so that recording can be done again and again. By using a la-  
ser to heat the disc, the magnetism is erased and the magnetic head  
records the new data. Discs with this type of recording method are  
called magneto-optical (MO) discs.

Sound skip guard memory  
With the minidisc, the data of the track being played can be tempo-  
rarily stored up using a function called “sound skip guard memory”.  
Even when data cannot be collected properly from the disc due to  
shaking or vibrations, information is stored in the “sound skip guard  
memory”, so that there is no break in the sound which is actually de-  
livered.

UTOC (User Table Of Contents)  
In a minidisc, apart from the recorded tracks, there is the “UTOC”. In this area, information such as the position where each track is recorded,  
the track divisions, and track order are listed. When music search is done, the UTOC is consulted, and the tracks are quickly found and played  
back. When editing is done, only the UTOC is changed, so there is no need to re-record the tracks.

Minidisc limitations  
■  
The minidisc records information in an original format that differs from that of conventional cassette tapes or DATs. Since there are some lim-  
itations with this recording format, the following types of conditions may arise. These conditions arre not malfunctions.  
Condition  
Cause  
“DISC FULL” is displayed, even though  
the possible recording time is not used up.  
With the minidisc, there is a maximum number of tracks which can be recorded, regardless of  
time. More than 254 tracks cannot be recorded on a disc.  
“DISC FULL” is displayed, even though  
the number of tracks and recording time  
are not at the limit.  
When parts of the disc are erased and re-recorded, blank spots are created on the disc. When  
recording to such a disc, one track of data is divided and recorded in the blank areas. During  
recording, when these divided parts become numerous, the “DISC FULL” message may be  
displayed. When a part of 8 seconds or less is created by division, that track cannot be joined  
by the JOIN function, and even if it is erased, the remaining usable time on the disc does not  
increase. Tracks divided into small pieces may skip when fast forward or fast rewind is done.  
The JOIN function sometimes doesn’t work.  
The remaining usable time on the disc  
doesn’t increase even when tracks are  
erased.  
The sound skip during fast forward or fast  
rewind.  
The amount of recorded time on the disc  
added to the amount of remaining time  
falls shout of the disc’s total possible  
recording time.  
Minidiscs must have at least 2 seconds of continuous space in order to record. For this rea-  
son, the actual recording time of discs with a lot of short blank areas becomes shorter.  
Rules of Digital Dubbing  
■  
The following rules regarding copyright exist for dubbing to MDs from CDs or DATs through digital terminals.  
SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)  
Minidiscs can record clear sound with low loss of quality from CDs or DATs through each component’s digital input/output terminal. However,  
minidiscs are set up so that a disc recorded in this way cannot be recorded onto another minidisc through digital input/output terminals. In other  
words, you can not make a copy of a copy. This rule is called SCMS (Serial Copy Management System).  
The recorder is designed in compliance with this rule. If you try to make a copy of a copy the error message “SCMS CANNOT COPY” is  
displayed, and dubbing can not be done.  
OK  
NO  
DIGITAL  
DIGITAL  
It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the consent of the owner of copyright in the  
sound or video recording, broadcast or cable programme and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic work embodied therein.
