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.  
Preparation Before Recording ———  
Be sure that the MD is not the Play-only type one.  
Be sure that the accidental erasure prevention knob of the MD  
cartridge is set to the close position. Otherwise, “DISC  
PROTECTED” will appear when you try to record a signal to  
tBheesMurDe.that the MD has enough space for recording. If not, car-  
ry out ALL ERASE or ERASE function to erase all the tracks  
or desired tracks in the MD. (See page 19.) You can check the  
recordable remaining time of the MD in Stop mode or during re-  
cording by pressing the DISPLAY button.

When AUX1 or AUX2 is selected as a source, sound synchro  
recording takes place. The MD Recorder will automatically  
start recording when a signal is input and stop when no signal  
continues for more than 30 seconds.  
Sound synchro recording may not correctly work if the in-  
put noise is large, since it starts after detecting the presence  
of signal.

You can also start recording by pressing the MD REC but-  
ton and then the MD 8button.  
After the CD Player has played the entire CD or all the pro-  
grammed tracks, “UTOCwriting” appears on the display, indi-  
cating that the recording is successfully completed. Then, the  
MD and the CD stop.  
When the MD becomes full before the CD Player finishes play-  
back, the MD stops after indicating “UTOCwriting”.  
When you record a signal from a DAT through the AUX2 ter-  
minal, two track numbers (track marks) are added for one track.  
This is not fault. Join both tracks using the Join function. (See  
page 18.)  
Note: While “UTOCwriting” is displayed, do not disconnect the  
power cord or subject the Unit to the vibration to avoid in-  
correct recording.  
5.Press the 7 button to stop recording.  
“UTOCwriting” appears on the display, indicating that the re-  
cording is successfully completed. Then, the MD stops.

If the MD becomes full before pressing the 7button, the  
recording will be terminated after indicating “UTOCwriting”.

record.  
3. Press the MD REC button on the Unit.  
The CD Player returns to the beginning of that track and the  
track is recorded on the MD. After recording, the CD Player and  
MD Recorder automatically stops.  
Press the DISPLAY button on the Remote Control repeat-

Information on MDs (Minidiscs)  
■  
This is a new digital audio disc format: it has a diameter of 64 mm and enables up to 80 minutes of playback and recording.  
The cartridge  
ATRAC (Adaptive Transform Acous-  
tic Coding)  
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.  
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.

Two types of minidisc  
«
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.

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.”  
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.  
SOUND  
Optical pickup  
Recordable MDs  
STOP  
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 jump  
guard memory  
During normal play  
When vibration has occurred  
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 re-  
corded, 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 are 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 does not  
work.  
The remaining usable time on the disc  
does not 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.  
NO

It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright owner.  
Care And Maintenance  
■  
Handle your CDs and MDs carefully, and they will last a long time.  
Moisture Condensation  
Moisture may condense on the lens inside the  
Compact Discs  
System in the following cases:  
Only CDs bearing this mark can be used with  
After turning on heating in the room.  
In a damp room.  
If the System is brought directly from a cold  
to a warm place.  
this System. However, continued use of irregu-  
larly shaped CDs (heart-shape, octagonal, etc.)  
can damage the System.  
Should this occur, the System may malfunction.  
In this case, leave the System turned on for a  
few hours until the moisture evaporates, unplug  
the AC power cord, and then plug it in again.  
Remove the CD from its case by holding it at  
the edges while pressing the case’s center hole  
lightly.  
Do not touch the shiny surface of the CD, or  
bend the CD.  
General Notes  
In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your  
CDs, MDs, and the mechanism clean.  
Store CDs and MDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or  
on shelves.  
Keep the system’s CD cover closed when not in use.  
Put the CD back in its case after use to prevent  
warping.  
Be careful not to scratch the surface of the CD  
when placing it back in the case.  
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature  
extremes, and moisture.  
Cleaning the lens  
If the lens in the CD pickup is dirty, dropout, etc., could degrade  
sound.  
Open the CD cover and clean the lens as shown.  
Use a blower (available from a camera store) to blow dust off  
the lens.  
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.  
Blower  
Lens  
CAUTION: Do not use any solvent (for example,  
conventional record cleaner, spray thinner, ben-  
zine, etc.) to clean a CD.  
MDs (Minidiscs)  
Do not open the shutter. Since the shutter is  
locked to prevent it from opening, forcing it to  
open will break the disc.  
If there are fingerprints, etc. on the lens, gently wipe clean with  
a cotton swab.
