Precautions

1. Safeguarding against electric shocks, fire hazards and damage

1) A very low current will still flow even when the POWER button is set at STANDBY. To save power

and ensure safety when the unit is not going to be used for an extended period of time, disconnect the

power cords from the household AC outlet.

2) Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

3) To unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, always take hold of the molded plug part and pull the

plug free rather than pulling the cord.

4) If the power cord is damaged or found to have a disconnected wire or a contact failure, consult your

dealer.

5) Do not bend the cord at a sharp angle, and do not pull or twist it.

6) Do not modify the power cord in any way.

7) Do not remove the screws in order to disassemble the unit, and do not touch any of the parts inside

the unit.

8) Do not insert metallic objects into the unit.

9) Unplug the power cord if there is a chance that lightning may strike.

10) If water should find its way inside the unit, unplug the power cord from the outlet, and consult your

dealer.

11) Do not install the unit in a poorly ventilated location.

2. Installation

1) Avoid placing the unit on or adjacent to an amplifier: this is to prevent the humming caused by the

unit’s proximity to some types of amplifiers. Move the unit where it will not be affected by the

amplifier.

2) Avoid installing the unit where the ambient temperature will exceed 35 °C (95 °F) (namely, in direct

sunlight, near a heating appliance, etc.) or drop below 5 °C (41 °F), where it it is very humid or

dusty, or where the unit will be subject to vibration.

3) The unit may not function properly if it is moved suddenly from a cold place (0 °C (32 °F)) to a

warm place since condensation may form inside the unit. In such a case, leave the unit standing for

about 30 minutes, after which time it should function properly.

3. Cleaning the cabinet

Never use benzine or paint thinners to clean the cabinet as they may mar the unit’s surface finish.

can be operated sideways. Refer

to page 10 for the names of the

buttons.

How to use the remote control correctly —————————

•

Point the remote control correctly at the remote control sensor on the main unit, and press the buttons.

The remote control can be operated at a distance of up to 7 meters or so from the remote control

sensor. This distance will be less if the remote control is operated from a position which is not

directly in front or on the same level as the main unit.

When the distance over which the remote control can be operated starts to drop, it means that the

batteries are nearing the end of their service life.

Replace both batteries (size “AAA”, R03 or UM4 alkaline batteries) with fresh units.

The dry batteries provided with the unit are for operational check purposes. Replace them with fresh

units at the earliest opportunity.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

When installing the dry batteries, ensure that the and polarities are aligned correctly with the

markings.

Do not drop the remote control or subject it to strong impact.

In order to ensure that the remote control does not fail to operate, avoid operation under the following

conditions:

•

When the remote control sensor is exposed to direct sunlight or other intense sources of light

When objects in front of the remote control sensor block the transmission of signals from the

remote control

• Playing CDs using the 6 button

When the above button is then pressed,

play starts from the CD on the tray for

which “ ” is displayed.

• First set the

function to “CD.”

Stopping CD play —————————————————————

• Stopping play at any time

•

When the button on the left is pressed after the function has been set to “CD,” the track number

and play time appear on the display.

When all the tracks on a CD have been played through, play will stop automatically.

• Stopping play temporarily

•

If the button on the left is pressed when the function has been set to the “CD” mode, the play

status display and 8 indicator flash. When it is pressed again, play is resumed from the place

where it was stopped.

• Concerning the CD numbers and play status display

The display shows for each CD tray whether or not a CD has been inserted as well as the play status

of the CD.

While a CD is playing, this lights in sequence,

and it flashes in the pause mode. It goes off when

“NO DISC” is displayed to indicate that a disc has

not been inserted.

This is displayed when

CD text has been entered.

The CD on the CD tray for which

this has lighted is playing.

Precaution concerning volume setting

Unlike analog records, CDs have very low levels of noise. If you set the volume on the basis of the

level of the noise heard during the intro as you might with an analog record, an unexpectedly loud

sound may be delivered as a result. Before turning off the power, turn down the volume to prevent

this from happening.

If, in step 2, the CD1 button is pressed first while the CD tray is open, the CD tray will close, and play

will start from the first track on that CD.

Storing CDs

•

Always ensure that each CD is stored in its own case.

Do not place CDs in direct sunlight, near a heating appliance or any other location which is

susceptible to high temperatures.

If cellophane tape, an adhesive sticker or some other form of glue is present on the label side, clean it

off before use.

Do not stick adhesive labels or write anything on a CD.

Do not bend CDs.

Do NOT insert shaped CDs, such as CDs in a heart, flower or other shape, because their shape does

not match the shape of the CD tray, and using them will give rise to malfunctioning.

The CD play signals are output to any other device from DIGITAL OUT OPTICAL only when the play

speed is set to NORMAL.

MD Editing Functions

In addition to its recording and play functions, the MD part of this combination unit comes with editing functions. Recorded tracks can be

joined, divided or erased exactly where required.

Dividing tracks (DIVIDE function)

This involves adding a track mark (see Note) at some point during

the track which is to be made into the start of an additional track

so that the original track is divided into two tracks.

Erasing tracks (ERASE function)

This enables unnecessary tracks, narration, etc. to be erased

speedily. The erased parts do not remain as silences but are closed

up by the subsequent tracks.

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.

Function of the cartridge

ATRAC (Adaptive Transform Acoustic

The diameter of the actual disc is 64 mm, making it slightly smaller

than CD singles. Each disc is housed in a cartridge. The pocket-

size cartridge measures 68 x 72 mm and is 5 mm thick. It is easy to

carry about and store. Since the disc is protected by the cartridge, it

is kept free from dust and dirt, and there is no danger of the disc

being scratched or exposed to fingerprints due to the shutter which

is closed at all times except while the disc is being used. All in all,

these features make the minidisc extremely easy to use.

Coding)

Sound contains some elements which are not actually very audible.

For instance, when the sound is soft, it is hard to hear the bass and

treble. Also, during or immediately after a passage of loud sound,

soft sounds cannot be heard even though they may be there. A

technique called ATRAC (Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding) is

used with MDs to select or dispense with sounds on the basis of our

acoustic characteristics so that the data is compressed into a small

quantity. It compresses the data to be recorded into about one-fifth

of the original data so that it can be stored even on a small-size MD.

Two types of discs available

MDs come in two types: the recording MD which can be used for

recording, and the play-only MD which can be used for playback

only. Both types use the same system for playback: a laser beam is

directed onto the disc and the signals are read out by its reflection.

However, the system for recording is different.

Low | Sound range \ High

Sound range and sensitivity of our ears

Sound jump guard memory

When an MD is played, a function (sound jump guard memory)

operates to store the data of the track being played instantly in a

memory to prevent jumps in the sound due to vibration. When the

disc signals cannot be read by the optical laser because of vibration,

the function uses the data in the “sound jump guard memory” to

ensure that there are no breaks in the sound actually heard.

Play-only MDs

This type of MD is used for pre-recorded MDs available on the

market. It cannot be used for recording. As with CDs, data is

recorded by the presence or absence of small indentations called

pits. A disc with this kind of recording system is called an “optical

disc.”

SOUND

STOP

Play-only MD

When vibration has occurred

Recording MDs

This is the “blank” type of MD which can be used for recording. Its

data is recorded using magnetism which is easily processed so that

recordings can be made again and again. By using a laser beam to

heat spots on its surface to cancel out the magnetism, the data is

recorded using a magnetic head. A disc with this kind of recording

system is called a “magneto-optical disc.”

UTOC (User Table of Contents)

In addition to the data of its tracks, a recording MD comes with the

UTOC contents facility. This records the position of each track, the

breaks between the tracks, the track sequence, etc., and tracks can be

searched quickly by viewing these contents. During editing, all that

changes is the UTOC contents: the tracks themselves need not be re-

recorded.

Restrictions Imposed by MDs (Minidiscs)

MDs use their own system to record information which is different from conventional cassette tapes and DAT tapes. This system has a

number of restrictions which sometimes give rise to the following symptoms. These symptoms do not, however, indicate that something is

wrong with the product.

Symptom

Cause

The number of tracks which can be recorded on an MD is limited, and this has nothing to

do with the recording time. Track numbers 255 and above cannot be recorded.

“DISC FULL” is displayed even though the

recording time displayed for the MD has not

been used up.

When some of the MD recordings are erased and replaced with new recording repeatedly,

empty areas are formed on parts of the disc. When a recording is made on this kind of disc,

the data of a track is divided in bits and pieces among and recorded on these empty areas.

When the number of these divided areas increases, “DISC FULL” may be displayed during

recording. If the data is divided so that some parts are less than 8 seconds in length, it may

not be possible to use the JOIN function to join the track concerned. In addition, the

remaining time will not increase even if these parts are erased. The sound of tracks which

have been divided up in bits and pieces and recorded may break up during rapid advance or

rapid reverse operations.

“DISC FULL” is displayed despite sufficient

leeway in track numbers and recording time.

It is sometimes not possible to use the JOIN

function.

The remaining time is not increased even

though tracks are deleted.

The sound is sometimes skipped during rapid

advance or rapid reverse operations.

Recording on an MD is not possible unless there are successive spaces at least 2 seconds in

length. For this reason, a shorter recording time will be displayed for an MD with a large

number of short empty areas.

The recorded time and the remaining time

together do not equal the recording time

displayed for the MD.

Restriction on Copying Digital Material

Due to copyright and other considerations, the following restriction is now in place for MDs onto which the digital signals of CDs have been

copied.

SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)

MDs can digitally record the clear sound of CDs. However, it is now not possible to copy the digital signals of an MD recorded in this way

onto another MD using another unit. In other words, copies of copies cannot be made. This restriction is known as SCMS (Serial Copy

Management System).

This unit is designed to comply with this restriction.

DIGITAL

The copyright laws allow recordings to be made for the personal enjoyment of the individual user but they do not allow such recordings to be

used for other any purposes without permission from the holder of the copyrights.

MDs on which CD sound has been recorded using this unit cannot be digitally copied by other units.
