Maintenance of the Set  
When the front panel, the case, etc. becom es dirty, w ipe w ith a  
soft, dry cloth. Do not use thinner, alcohol, etc., as these can  
cause discoloration.  
In regard to contact cleaners  
Do not use contact cleaners because it could cause a m alfunc-  
tion. Be specially careful not to use contact cleaners containing  
oil, for they m ay deform the plastic com ponent.  
Reference  
Beware of condensation  
When water vapor comes into contact with the surface of a cold  
material, condensation is produced.  
Be especially careful in the following conditions:  
÷When the unit is brought from a cold place to a warm place, and  
there is a large temperature difference.  
÷When a heater starts operating.  
÷When the unit is brought from an air-conditioned place to a place of  
high temperature with high humidity.  
÷When there is a large difference between the internal temperature  
of the unit and the ambient temperature, or in conditions where  
condensation occurs easily.  
If condensation occurs, correct operation may not be possible, or  
the unit may not function correctly.  
This is not a malfunction, however, and the unit should be dried-out.  
(To do this, turn the ON/STANDBY key ON and leave the unit as it is  
for several hours.)

MD system  
The Mini Disc system has the features as sum m arized in the follow ing.  
1 Like CD (Com pact Disc), playback can be started from any position. (Random access)  
2 It uses a disc w ith a diam eter of 64 m m that is accom m odated in a cartridge.  
3 Tw o types of discs can be used.  
4 Up to 74 m inutes of recording or playback is possible using high-efficiency coding technology.  
5 Counterm easure against vibration is taken using sem iconductor m em ory chip.  
Tw o Mini Disc types  
There are tw o types of Mini Disc, the one designed exclusively for  
playback and the other w hich is both recordable and playable.  
Playback-only Mini Disc  
Recordable Mini Disc  
This type of MD can be used only for playback, and is used by the  
commercially-available music MD software packages. The playback-only  
MDis an opticaldisc like the Compact Disc (CD). The signals are recorded  
as the presence or absence of small pits and read out by an optical, non-  
contact pickup.  
This MD is a magneto-optical disc which can be recorded by magnetic  
field modulation. To record signals, laser light is irradiated from the  
bottom side of the magneto-optical disc and magnetic field is applied  
from the upper side of it.  
Prpasection  
High-efficiency coding technology “ATRAC”  
Sound-skip prevention m em ory  
The Mini Disc has only a half the size of the Compact Disc but provides  
the same recording time. This is made possible by ATRAC*, a newly  
developed high-efficiency coding technology.  
During playback, this unit always stores signals in memory temporarily  
to prevent sound from being skipped in case of vibration. As a result,  
even when the data from the optical pickup is interrupted due to  
vibration, etc., the music will not be interrupted because the memory  
holds the data for several seconds.  
Basection  
* ATRAC: Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding  
The ATRAC compresses the music data to about 1/5 the amount of data  
which would be obtained with conventional technology, by cutting off  
the sound components which do not pose problem in audition even  
when they are not present. This has made it possible to record or play up  
to 74 minutes.
