How This Manual Is Organized
In this manual we have incorporated some special features:
•
Basic information that is the same for many different functions is grouped in one place, and not repeated in each
procedure. For instance, in the section on playing a CD, we do not repeat the information about setting the
volume and the sound conditions, which are discussed in the Using the Amplifier section.
•
Name of buttons and controls are written in all capital letters like this: SOUND MODE.
IMPORTANT CAUTIONS
1. Installation of the unit
•
•
•
Select a place which is level, dry and neither too hot nor too cold. (Between 5°C and 35°C or 41°F and 95°F.)
Leave sufficient distance between the unit and a TV.
Do not use the unit in a place subject to vibrations.
2. Power cord
•
•
•
Do not handle the power cord with wet hands!
Some power (15 watts) is always consumed as long as the power cord is connected to the wall outlet.
When unplugging the unit from the wall outlet, always pull the plug, not the power cord.
3. Malfunctions, etc.
•
There are no user-serviceable parts inside. If anything goes wrong, unplug the power cord and consult your
dealer.
•
Do not insert any metallic object into the unit.

Receiving FM Stations with RDS
RDS (Radio Data System) allows the FM stations to send additional signals along with their regular
program signals. For example, the stations send their station names and information about what type
of program they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.
When tuned to an FM station providing the RDS signals, the RDS indicator lights up and the station
name, if sent, is displayed.
One convenient RDS service is “Enhanced Other Networks (EON)” (see page 16). This allows the
unit to automatically switch to a program type of your choice when one starts in your local area.
❏ Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do all RDS stations provide the same services. If
in doubt, check with local radio stations for details on RDS services in your area.
❏ RDS may not work correctly if the station you are tuned in is not transmitting the signals
properly or if the signal strength is weak.
What Information RDS Can Provide ——————————————————
The CA-MD9R can use the following RDS service.
PS (Program Service name)
Identifies each station by a name.
RT (Radio Text)
Allows the RDS station to send text messages that appear on the display.
PTY (Program Type) (see next page for a description of the PTY codes)
Identifies the type of RDS program. This allows you to locate a specific type of program being
broadcast.
EON (Enhanced Other Networks)
Provides the information about the program types sent by the other RDS stations than the one being
received.

Notes:
•
EON data sent from some stations may not be compatible with this unit.
•
While listening to a program tuned in by the EON function, the station does not change even if
another network station starts broadcasting a program of the same EON data.
While listening to a program tuned in by the EON function, you can only use the EON ON/OFF
and DISPLAY MODE button as the tuner operation buttons.
If the stations alternate intermittently between the station tuned in by the EON function and the
currently tuned station (“WAITING” flashes on the display), press the EON ON/OFF button to
cancel the EON standby reception mode.

Things to Know Before You Start Recording ——————————————
❏ 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 embodied therein.
❏ Press the DOLBY B NR button — the indicator lights up — to reduce tape hiss.
❏ When you record onto partially recorded MD, its contents are not erased or overwritten. The
recording starts from the point following the last recorded track of the MD.
If you want to record such an MD from the beginning, you have to erase its contents first (see
“ALL ERASE Function” on page 48).
❏ When recording a source using the Standard Recording (see page 34), you can also record the
same source on a tape using the Standard Recording procedure for the Cassette Deck (see page
55).
❏ The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME control.
Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting
the recording level.
❏ When recording, you can hear Sound Modes through the speakers or headphones. However, the
sound is recorded without Sound Modes (see page 9).
❏ To avoid erasing important recordings
Recordable MDs have an
accidentally erasure prevention
tab so that important recordings
are not accidentally erased. When
you finish recording or editing,
slide open the erasure prevention
tab on the cartridge side surface.
New recording or editing is now
no longer possible. To redo
Erasure prevention tab

About the track marks
When playing an MD, you can move among the tracks using the
track using the Remote Control.
or
button or even select directly a
You can do that because there is a mark recorded at the front of each track enabling you to locate the track. This
mark is called a “track mark” and the portion between two adjacent track marks is called a “track”.
❏ When recording from a digital source such as the CD Player, a track mark is recorded automatically at the
beginning of each track.
❏ When recording from a analog source such as the radio, no track mark is recorded. This means that, when
playing this MD, the MD Recorder will regard the entire recording as one track (track 1). You will not be able
to select directly a song or navigate through them.
You can put track marks manually.
To put a track mark manually, during the recording, press the SET button at the place you want to put a track mark.
The MD Recorder will also consider a blank of 3 seconds or more as a blank separating 2 tracks and consequently
put a track mark.
Note:
To add track mark afterwards (when the recording is over), you can use the DIVIDE function (see page 42) to
divide a long recording.

To record any source currently playing use the following procedure.
❏ You can also record the same source on the tape at the same time. (See page 55 for tape
recording.)

❏ Most tapes are now recorded with the Dolby NR system, so first check which type of the Dolby
NR system has been used on the tape. Only Dolby B NR is incorporated into the CA-MD9R.
❏ With Automatic Tape Selection, you can listen to type I, II (CrO2) or IV (Metal) tapes without
changing any settings.
The use of tapes longer than 120 minutes is not recommended, since characteristic deterioration
may occur and these tapes easily jam in the pinch-rollers and the capstans.

Music Scan
To find the beginning of a music track during play, use the Music Scan function. Music Scan
searches for blank portions that usually separate selections, then plays the next selection.
Finding the Beginning of the Current Selection —————————————
Press the 1 or ¡ button during play.
❏ Make sure that you press the 1 or ¡ button in the opposite direction to that in which the
tape is playing. Searching stops at the beginning of the current selection, and the current
selection starts automatically.
Finding the Beginning of the Next Selection ——————————————
Press the 1 or ¡ button during play.
❏ Make sure that you press the 1 or ¡ button in the same direction as that in which the tape is
playing. Searching stops at the beginning of the next selection, and the next selection starts
automatically.
Music Scan works by detecting a 4-second long blank at the beginning of each selection, so it will

Things to Know Before You Start Recording ——————————————
❏ 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 embodied therein.
❏ Press the DOLBY B NR button — the indicator lights up — to reduce tape hiss.
❏ When you want to record onto both sides of a tape, turn on the auto reverse mode. However,
recording automatically stops after recording in the ¤ direction with the auto reverse mode on.
Therefore, make sure that the tape direction is ‹ when recording with the auto reverse mode
on.
❏ The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME control.
Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting
the recording level.
❏ Two small tabs on the cassette tape, one for side A and
one for side B, can be removed to prevent accidental
erasure or re-recording. To record on a cassette with the
tabs removed, you must cover the holes with adhesive
tape first. However, when a type II tape is used, only
cover part of the hole as shown, since the other part of
the hole is used to detect the tape type.
❏ When recording, you can hear Sound Modes through the speakers or headphones. However, the
sound is recorded without Sound Modes (see page 9).
❏ Type I and Type II tapes can be used for recording.
Note: The first and end portions of the tape are called leader tape, which cannot be recorded onto.
When you start recording, the first part of the recording may not be done because of this
leader tape. Before inserting the cassette, first wind the leader tape.
CAUTION: If recordings you have made have excessive noise or static, the unit may be too close to
a TV which has been on during recording. Either turn off the TV or increase the distance between
the TV and the CA-MD9R.

CD Direct Recording
Everything on the CD goes onto the tape in the order it is on the CD, or according to the order you
have set in a program. You can even record in Random Play. In this case, the tracks of the 3 CDs are
recorded randomly on the tape.
1. Prepare CDs. (See page 19.)
Check that the CD Player is not playing a CD.
2. Insert a blank or erasable cassette in the cassette holder.
❏ When you want to record on both sides of a tape, press the
button to turn on the auto
reverse mode. In this case, press the ‹ button then the 7 button to start recording in the
forward (‹) direction.
3. Press the CD REC button.
“CD → TAPE” appears on the display then the unit plays the CD and starts recording.
CD REC
At the end of the tape, the CA-MD9R automatically goes back to the beginning of the last
selection and re-records it, this time gently fading out at the end. If you have the auto reverse
mode, the reverse side starts with the last selection of the front side. The last selection of the
reverse side will also fade out at the end. (A 10 second blank is created at the beginning of the
reverse side.)
When the recording is finished, the CD Player and Cassette Deck stop.

Notes:
•
•
•
When recording from a CD program (or random play) made from more than one CD, the tape
will pause when the unit switches to another CD. Then, when the CD is ready, the unit releases
the pause and continue the recording.
When making Sleep Timer setting while doing CD Direct recording, set the time so that there is
enough leeway to finish the recording before the power goes off. If the time is set to about the
length of the CD, the power may go off before recording finishes.
For CD Direct Recording using more than one CD, use a blank tape. If you use a prerecorded
tape, prerecorded sound may not be erased between newly-recorded tracks.

Timer Priority
Since each timer can be set independently, you may wonder what happens if the settings overlap.
Here are the priorities for each timer:
❏ If the Recording Timer is set to come on while another timer is operating, the other timer will
shut off 10 seconds before the Recording Timer is set to turn on, and the Recording Timer will
then take over. (Example 1)
❏ If two Recording Timers overlaps, the one with a late on-time has the priority. (Example 2)
❏ The Sleep Timer has the priority over the Daily Timer. This means that if the Sleep Timer is set
while the Daily Timer is operating, the Sleep Timer will take over. (Example 3)
❏ If you set the Sleep Timer while the Recording Timer is operating, the Recording Timer will be
canceled, but recording continues.

Care and Maintenance
General Notes
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping
your tapes, CDs, MDs and the mechanism clean.
Cassette Tapes
•
•
•
If the tape is loose in its
cassette, take up the slack by
inserting a pencil in one of the
reels and rotating.
If the tape is loose, it may get
stretched, cut, or caught in the
cassette.
•
Store tapes, CDs and MDs in their cases, and keep them
in cabinets or on shelves.
Keep the cassette holder, the CD trays, and the MD
loading slot cover closed when not in use.
•
Compact Discs
•
Remove the CD from the case
by holding it at the edges while
pressing the center hole lightly.
Do not touch the shiny surface
of the CD, or bend the CD.
Do not touch the tape surface.
•
•
Be careful not to scratch the
surface of the CD when placing
it back in the case.
•
Do not store the tape:
-
-
-
-
-
In dusty places
In direct sunlight or heat
In moist areas
On a TV or speaker
Near a magnet
•
•
Avoid exposure to direct
sunlight, temperature extremes,
and moisture.
A dirty CD may not play
correctly. If a CD does become
dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in
a straight line, from center to
edge.
Cassette Deck
•
If the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers of the Cassette
Deck become dirty, the following will occur:
-
-
-
-
-
Loss of sound quality
Discontinuous sound
Fading
Incomplete erasure
Difficulty recording
CAUTION: Do not use any solvent (for example, conventional
record cleaner, spray thinner, benzine, etc.) to clean a CD.
Mini Discs
• Do not open the shutter.
- The shutter is locked so that it will not open. Trying to
force it open will break the disc. If the shutter opens
accidentally, close it again quickly without touching the
disc inside.
• Do not place discs in the following places:
- High temperatures areas such in direct sunlight or
inside a car.
•
Clean the heads, capstans, and pinch-rollers using a
cotton swab moistened with alcohol.
Pinch-rollers
Capstans
- High humidity areas, e.g. in a bathroom.
- On a beach or sandy area.
• Clean discs regularly.
- If dust or dirt gets on cartridge, wipe it off with a soft
dry cloth.
Heads
Moisture Condensation
•
•
If the heads become magnetized, the unit will produce
noise or lose high frequencies.
Moisture may condense on the lens
inside the unit in the following cases:
• After starting the heating in the room.
• In a damp room.
• If the unit is brought directly from a
cold to a warm place.
To demagnetize the heads, turn off the unit, and use a
head demagnetizer (available at electronics and record
shops).
Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this case, leave
the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evapo-
rates, unplug the AC power cord, and then plug it in again.

MD limitations
The MD records data in an original format that differs from that of conventional cassette tapes or DATs. Since there are
some limitations with this recording format, the following types of symptoms may occur. These symptoms are not
malfunctions.
Symptoms
Cause
“DISC FULL” appears, even though there is still enough
remaining time on an MD.
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” appears even though the number of tracks
and recording time do not reach the limit.
• Repeating erasure and recording on the same disc create
many blank portions sparsely on the disc. When recording
on such a disc, a track is recorded on these blank portions
sparsely. If a track is divided and recorded into so many
portions, “DISC FULL” appears.
The JOIN function sometimes does not work.
• If a divided portion of less than 8 seconds is made while a
track is recorded on the MD, that track cannot be joined
to another track using the JOIN function. Furthermore, if
that track is erased, the remaining time of the MD may
not increase exactly by the erased amount.
The remaining time on the disc does not increase even
when tracks are erased.
The sound drops out during fast forward or fast rewind.
• If a track has been divided into many portions while being
recorded on the MD, sounds will drop out while fast
forwarding or reversing such an MD.
The amount of recorded time on the disc added to the
amount of remaining time is shorter than the disc’s total
possible recording time.
You cannot record on a blank portion of less than 2 seconds
in the MD. For this reason, the actual recording time of
discs may become shorter.

Additional Informations
Some Words about MDs
There are two types of MDs: premastered (prerecorded) and recordable (blank).
Premastered MDs
Premastered MDs, which have been recorded at music studio, can be played back like regular CDs.
On an MD of this type, data is recorded as the presence or absence of tiny pits. A laser beam focuses
on the pits on the surface of the MD and reflects the detection back to the lens in the MD Recorder.
The MD Recorder then decodes the signals and plays them back as music. This type of MD is called
an “optical disc.”
Recordable MDs
Recordable MDs, which use magneto-optical technology, can be recorded and played back repeat-
edly. The laser inside the MD Recorder applies heat to the MD, demagnetizing the magnetic layer of
the MD for recording and playback. This type of MD is called an “magnetic-optical disc.”
ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding)
The MD provides 74 minutes recording and playback time, the same as an audio CD, but in a
diameter of only 64 mm. This ability to store such a large amount of data is the result of ATRAC, an
audio compression technique developed for MD. This technology, cuts out faint sounds that would
not be heard by the human beings. This technology, based on human sensitivity to sounds, enabled
the recorded data to be about one-fifth of the original data.
UTOC (User Table Of Contents)
Found only on recordable MDs, this area contains sub-data (track number, recording data etc.)
which can be rewritten by the user.
UTOC enables us to search tracks quickly and edit tracks on the MD.

Serial Copy Management System (SCMS)
The MD Recorder integrated to this unit uses the Serial Copy Management System which allows
only first-generation digital copies to be made of premastered software (like CDs or prerecorded
MDs).

Sound Skip Guard Memory
The biggest weakness of discs is their susceptibility to vibration. The “Sound Skip Guard Memory”
has been developed to cope with this weakness.
With this function, a few seconds of signals read by the optical read head from the disc are first
stored in memory before being reproduced as audio signals. Thus, even when vibration or shock
interrupts signals being read, these stored signals can continue to reproduce sounds for the few
seconds. Thus, the user will enjoy uninterrupted music.
