To stop recording
Press the e button.
To eject the MD
Press the e button and then the r EJECT
button.
Note
If TOC is flashing when you press the r EJECT
button or the STANDBY/ON button, it means
the MD recorder is writing the recorded
contents onto the MD. During this period, do
not disconnect the power cord or apply strong
vibrations to the MD recorder. Doing so may
prevent normal recording onto the MD.
• For track numbers to be marked
automatically, the signature code included in
the digital signal at the beginning and ending
of each track is necessary. Some equipment
and broadcasts do not include this signal, and
in such a case track numbers will not be
marked automatically.

The recording system in your MiniDisc recorder is • Some tracks cannot be combined w ith
radically different from those used in cassette
and DAT decks and is characterized by the
limitations described below. Note, however, that
these limitations are due to the inherent nature
of the MD recording system itself and not to
mechanical causes.
others
Track combination may become impossible
when tracks are edited.
• The total recorded time and the
remaining time on the disc may not total
the maximum recording time (60, 74 or 80
minutes)
Recording is done in minimum units of 2
seconds each, no matter how short the material.
The contents recorded may thus be shorter than
the maximum recording capacity. Disc space may
also be further reduced by scratches.
• "Disc Full" lights up even before the disc
has reached the maximum recording time
(60, 74 or 80 minutes)
When 255 tracks have been recorded on the
disc, "Disc Full" lights up regardless of the total
recorded time. More than 255 tracks cannot be
recorded on the disc. To record new tracks, erase
unnecessary tracks or use another MD.
• Track created through editing may exhibit
sound dropout during searching
operations.
• "Disc Full" lights up before the maximum
number of tracks is reached
Fluctuations in emphasis within tracks are
sometimes interpreted as track intervals,
incrementing the track count and causing the
"Disc Full" indication to light up.
• Track numbers are not recorded correctly
Incorrect assignment or recording of track
numbers may result (1) when CD tracks are
divided into several smaller tracks during digital
recording, or (2) when certain CDs are recorded
with the Level Sync On for automatic track
marking.

Rule 3
Guide to the serial copy management
system
A recordable MD with material recorded from
analog sources (analog records or FM programs,
etc.) through the line input terminal can be
copied to another recordable MD through the
digital output terminal.
However, you cannot make subsequent copies
from the recordable MD to other recordable
MDs through the digital output terminal.
Subsequent copies can only be made through
analog output terminal.
Since your MD unit uses the Serial Copy
Management System (SCMS), MDs recorded
through the digital input terminal cannot be
used to make subsequent copies to other MDs
through the digital output terminal. The
following diagram shows a system for making
copies through the digital or analog terminals.
Rule 1
You can record digital source (CD, premastered
MD, and DAT equipment with a sampling
frequency of 44.1 kHz) to a recordable MD
through the digital input terminal.
However, you cannot make subsequent copies
from the recordable MD to other recordable
MDs through the digital output terminal.
Subsequent copies can only be made through
analog output terminal.
* When MD recorders are connected using
analog terminals, the number of dubbings is
not limited.
Rule 2
You can record the digital input signal of a digital
satellite broadcast onto a recordable MD via the
digital input terminals on MD recorder which is
capable of handling a sampling frequency of 32
kHz or 48 kHz. You can then record the contents
of this recorded MD (first-generation) onto
another recordable MD via digital input terminals
on the MD recorder to create a second-generation
digital copy.
Note, however, that with some BS tuners, second-
generation digital copying may not be possible.

Tro u b le sh o o t in g
If you encounter a difficulty while using your unit, use this troubleshooting guide as an aid to
remedy the problem. Because the unit contains a microcomputer to provide advanced functions, it
may malfunction due to external noise or static electricity. If this happens, disconnect the power
cord and then plug it in again after about 5 seconds. You must also be sure that the system
components are properly connected.
If the MD recorder still does not operate correctly, disconnect the power plug, then plug it in again
while pressing EDIT/NO button and YES button simultaneously. Note that any TOC information
held in this MD recorder will be erased by this operation. If the problem persists even after you try
this remedy, or it is not listed in the table, disconnect the power cord and then consult the shop
from which you purchased the unit or your nearest ONKYO service station, informing them of your
name, address, phone number, type of unit, and the details of the problem.
Symptom

If the unit does not operate properly even after attempting the prescribed remedies, unplug and
then plug in the power cord again.
Condensation
This is the same phenomena that causes windows to become misted up with water drops in a
heated room during the winter.
The MD recorder also sometimes gets dew (water drops) on the optical lens inside the player under
the following conditions.
• Immediately after you turn a heater on.
• If the MD recorder is placed in a room with full of steam or dampness.
• If you suddenly bring the MD recorder in from the cold outside into a warm room.
If the MD recorder is exposed to dew condensation
You can leave it as it is. Sometimes the recorder cannot read the signal sent from the disc by laser
and the recorder doesn’t work.
Depending on the surrounding conditions you can remove the disc and leave the power on for at
the longest one hour. The dew will evaporate and the recorder will work properly. If it doesn't work
after several hours, please consult the nearest Onkyo authorized service center.

Precautions for handling the MiniDisc (MD)
The MD is housed in a cartridge, so you can handle it without worrying about dust and fingerprints.
Even so, a dirty or warped cartridge may cause malfunction. Always remember the following
precautions so you can enjoy high-quality sound for a long time.
Do not touch the disc in the cartridge directly w ith your fingers.
Do not open the shutter by hand. Doing so may damage the disc.
Storage location
Avoid storing MDs in a place subject to direct sunlight, high temperature, or high humidity.
Regular care
Wipe off dust and dirt accumulated on the cartridge surface with a dry cloth.
Removing the halfw ay inserted MD
If the "self-rock function" is activated and the MD cannot be removed, push the MD further into the
MD recorder and then press the r EJECT button to remove the MD.
