buttons on the remote control if they have the same
or similar names (or marks) as those on the unit.
If operation using the remote control is different
from that using the unit, it is then explained.
• Basic and common information that is the same for
many functions is grouped in one place, and is not
repeated in each procedure. For instance, we do not
repeat the information about turning on/off the unit,
setting the volume, changing the sound effects, and
others, which are explained in the section “Basic and
Common Operations” on pages 14 – 16.
Moisture condensation
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the unit in the
following cases:
• After starting heating in the room
• In a damp room
• If the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm
place
Should this occur, the unit may malfunction. In this case,
leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture
evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, then plug it in
again.
• The following marks are used in this manual:

Not all FM stations provide RDS signals, nor do all RDS
stations provide the same services. If in doubt, check with local
radio stations for details on RDS in your area.
RDS may not work correctly if the received station is not
transmitting the signals properly or if the signal strength is
weak.
One of the advantages of RDS is that you can locate a
particular kind of program by specifying the PTY codes.
• The PTY Search is applicable only to the preset stations.
• There is a time limit in doing the following steps. If the
setting is canceled before you finish, start from step 1

How the EON function actually works:
Alarm function
If an “Alarm!” (Emergency) signal is received from a
station while listening to the radio, the unit automatically
switches to the station broadcasting the “Alarm!” signal,
except when you are listening to non-RDS stations (all
AM – MW/LW and some FM stations).
CASE 1
If there is no station broadcasting the program you
have selected
The unit continues tuning in the current station.
«
When a station starts broadcasting the program you
have selected, the unit automatically switches to the
station. The indicator of received PTY code starts
flashing.
Test function
The TEST signal is used for testing the “Alarm!” signal.
Therefore, it makes the unit work in the same way as the
“Alarm!” signal does.
If a TEST signal is received from a station while
listening to the radio, the unit automatically switches to
the station broadcasting the TEST signal, except when
you are listening to non-RDS stations (all AM – MW/
LW and some FM stations).
«
When the program is over, “EON END” appears in the
main display, and the unit goes back to the previously
tuned station, but the EON function still remains
activated.
CASE 2
If there is a station broadcasting the program you
have selected
The unit tunes in the program. The indicator of received
PTY code starts flashing.
«
More about the EON function
EON data sent from some stations may not be compatible with
this unit.
When the program is over, “EON END” appears in the
main display, and the unit goes back to the previously
tuned station, but the EON function still remains
activated.
•
•
•
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 and DISPLAY buttons as the tuner
operation buttons. If you press any other tuner operation button,
“EON LOCKED!” appears in the main display.
If the stations alternate intermittently between the station tuned
by the EON function and the currently tuned station
(“WAITING” flashes in the main display), press EON to cancel
the EON function.
CASE 3
If the FM station you are listening to is broadcasting
the program you have selected
•
The unit continues to receive the station but the
indicator of received PTY code starts flashing.
«
When the program is over, the indicator of received
PTY code stops flashing and remains lit, but the EON
function still remains activated.
If you do not press the button, the currently tuned station is
received finally (“NOT FOUND” appears this time), and the
indication of the EON data type flashing on the display
disappears.

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.
• The sampling frequency rate converter built in the MD recorder allows you to record a digital source if its sampling
frequency is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz. If no source equipment is connected to the AUX terminal or if the
sampling frequency of the connected equipment is not 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz, “AUX DIGITAL UNLOCK”
appears in the main display (no recording is possible).
• You cannot record the entire Dolby Digital, DTS Digital Surround, or MPEG Multichannel signals through the
AUX terminal.
• 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 on such an MD from the beginning, you have to erase its contents first (see “ALL ERASE
Function” on page 43).
• The recording level is automatically set correctly (except when recording from the equipment connected to the
TAPE jacks), 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.
• While recording, you can hear sound mode effect and/or the active bass extension effect through the speakers or
headphones. However, the sound is recorded without these effects (see pages 15 and 16).
To avoid erasing important recordings

or editing is now no longer possible. (If you try to do,
between two adjacent track marks is called a “track.”
“DISC PROTECTED” appears in the main display.)
• When recording from an analog source such as
FM/AM broadcasts, no track mark is recorded on
the MD. 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 songs.
To do re-recording or editing, return the tab to the closed
position.
However, if there is a blank of 3 seconds or more, the
MD recorder will consider it as a blank separating 2
tracks and consequently put a track mark.

MD Disc Types
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 repeatedly. 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 80 minute 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, reduces recorded data volume up to about one-fifth of that 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.

SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)
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 MD 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.

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 recording time. More than 254
tracks cannot be recorded on an MD.
“DISC FULL” appears, even though the number of tracks • Repeating erasure and recording on the same MD creates
and recording time do not reach the limit.
many blank portions sparsely on the MD. When record-
ing on such an MD, 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. Further-
more, if that track is erased, the remaining time of the
MD may not increase exactly by the erased amount.
• 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 remaining time on the MD does not increase even
when tracks are erased.
The sound drops out during fast forward or fast reverse.
The amount of recorded time on the MD added to the
amount of remaining time is shorter than the MD’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.
