These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against  
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment  
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not  
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause  
harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is  
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installa-  
tion. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or  
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equip-  
ment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interfer-  
ence by one or more of the following measures:  
4. Location of this unit  
Place this unit in a well-ventilated location.  
Take special care to provide plenty of ventilation on all sides of this  
unit especially when it is placed in an audio rack. If ventilation is  
blocked, this unit may overheat and malfunction.  
Do not expose this unit to direct sunlight or heating units as this

5. Care  
From time to time you should wipe the front and rear panels and the  
cabinet with a soft cloth. For heavier dirt, dampen a soft cloth in a  
weak solution of mild detergent and water, wring it out dry, and  
wipe off the dirt. Following this, dry immediately with a clean  
cloth.  
Do not use rough material, thinners, alcohol or other chemical sol-  
vents or cloths since these could damage the finish or remove the

Main Features  
I Encoding the music files on an audio CD in  
MP3 format(*1) and decoding the MP3 music  
files  
*1 MP3  
An audio compression format that is part of MPEG1 image  
compression technology.  
*2 bitrate  
• You can record tracks on an audio CD in MP3 format. The  
tracks are compressed approximately 1/10 in data size  
The maximum amount of data that can be processed by a system per  
second.  
Bit is the minimum unit for showing 0 and 1 in digital data.  
kbps is the abbreviation of kilo bit per second. The larger the bitrate  
is used, the greater the encoded file size is.  
when using the standard 128kbps bitrate(*2)  
.
• Available encoding bitrates are no compression (PCM),  
96kbps, 128kbps, and 192kbps.  
• You can display and edit the ID3 tag(*3) information  
including song title, album title and artist name.  
*3 ID3 tag  
The area for storing character information on MP3 file.  
You can add up to 128 bytes of character information such as album  
title and artist name. Each information will be limited to 30  
characters long. The information entered in the ID3 tag area can be  
displayed and edited on the player which supports ID3 tag.  
• You can record from the built-in CD player, digital input  
and analog input. In addition, you can record (transfer) the  
tracks stored on PC through USB interface.  
• Sorting feature using the file information including ID3  
tags is available for various playback modes.

QUICK REC feature).  
I Longer hours recording with the internal  
hard disk drive (HDD)  
• FDB (Fluid Dynamic Bearing) motor employed in the  
HDD section has the lowest vibration characteristics  
suited for audio device with motor. This enables stability  
in playback.

Connecting the MB-S1  
Here is an explanation of how to connect the main components to  
the MB-S1 in the standard manner. There are many ways that any  
one component can be connected, and it is up to you to decide  
which method best fits your situation. The directions given here are  
only one option and should only be thought of as such. It is best to  
fully understand the nature of each connector and terminal as well  
as each of your components and their features to ascertain which  
method of connection is best.  
• Insert all plugs and connectors securely. Improper  
connections can result in noise, poor performance, or  
damage to the equipment.  
Improper connection  
• Be sure to always refer to the instructions that came with  
Inserted completely  
the component that you are connecting.  
• When using one of the optical input jacks, remove the  
protective cap and keep it safely. When the jack is not used,  
replace the protective cap.  
• Do not plug in the power cord until all connections have  
been made.  
• For input jacks, red connectors (marked R) are used for the  
right channel, and white connectors (marked L) are used for  
the left channel.  
• When using an optical input jack, always use an optical  
fiber cable.  
• Do not bind audio/video connection cables with power cords  
and speaker cables. Doing so may adversely affect the  
picture and sound quality.

Notes on CD and the internal hard disk drive  
Notes on discs  
I Cautions for disc storage  
Do not store discs in locations exposed to direct sunlight, near heat  
I Notes on playing discs  
emitting devices, and other locations of excessive heat, or locations  
of extremely low temperatures. Also, always store discs properly in  
their protective cases.  
Use the discs compatible with IEC standards such as the  
CD with the logo (right) printed on it. You can also use  
the CD-ROM containing MP3 audio data.  
Do not play CD-ROMs intended for computer use or non-audio  
compact discs. Doing so may cause high-pitched noises or other  
unpredictable results that may damage speakers, amplifiers, and  
other connected components.  
Never use heart-shaped, octagonal, or other special shaped discs as  
they may damage the internal mechanisms of the MB-S1.  
Note on the internal hard disc drive  
I Handling discs  
I Do not shake or carry around the MB-S1  
while playing the tracks recorded on the  
hard disc drive. Doing so may damage  
the internal hard disk drive.  
Be careful not to touch the data side of the disc (the side that does  
not have printing on it). Always hold discs by the edges or by using  
the hole in the middle.  
Never place labels or stickers on the data side or label side of the  
discs. Also, do not write on the discs or allow them to become  
scratched.  
I Cautions when using rented compact  
discs  
Do not use discs that have cellophane tape attached to them or  
rental compact discs that have rental labels attached. If the tape is  
sticking out or peeling off, the disc may not be able to be ejected  
and the MB-S1 may become damaged.  
I Cleaning  
Dirt and contaminants on discs can obstruct the pickup of the  
signals and lead to deterioration the sound. When dirty, clean the  
data side with a soft dry cloth, wiping from the inside of the disc  
toward the outside.  
If the dirt is excessive, soak the cloth in water, wring it out, and  
then wipe the disc surface clean. Next, using a soft dry cloth, wipe  
the moisture form the disc surface. Do not use conventional record  
cleaners or antistatic agents. Also, never use benzene, thinners, or  
other volatile agents as they may damage the disc surface.  
Condensation  
When moving the MB-S1 from a cold location to a hot location,  
when quickly heating a cold location with a furnace, or other  
similar situation, condensation may occur. This may not only  
cause improper operation of the device, but may also damage  
the discs and components. If condensation has occurred, turn on  
the MB-S1 and leave it running for 1 to 2 hours. If you will not  
use the MB-S1, then eject any disc inside.

Rules for recording digital input  
The digital source connected to the MB-S1 is protected by copy  
guard systems.  
These limitations are intended for protecting the copyright and  
restricting the behavior which violates the copyright.  
• The digital audio source recorded on a media such as CD,  
MD or DAT can be connected directly to the digital input  
terminals on the MB-S1.  
However, if the input digital signal to the MB-S1 was  
digitally recorded from the digital source, you can not  
record this digital input signal. Also, you can not monitor  
this digital input signal as a digital input source.  
SCMS (Guide to the serial copy management system)  
This system is designed for permitting only one generation of digital-  
to-digital copying (the recording of the original digital signals as they  
are) between digital audio devices.  
1. The digital audio signal on CD-R/RW recorded digitally from  
the CD can not be copied to the MB-S1’s HDD. When you  
record such digital signals, connect the signals to the analog  
input terminals.  
• The digital signals recorded on MD, DAT, CD-R, or CD-  
RW from the digital output terminals on the MB-S1 cannot  
be recorded on any other media digitally. Here are the  
examples when performing digital recording in MD  
recorder.

When you add a track to an existing play list, for example, the first  
play list containing 5 tracks, the indication will be “1P-6T”.  
lists  
When creating a play list  
“1P” means the first play list and “6T” means the position you are  
going to add a track to. If you want to change the order of playing  
tracks, change the track number.  
When you create a play list first time, “1P-New” appears.  
“1P” means the first play list and “New” means that the play list  
contains no track.  
After second play list, the indication will be like “2P-New”.  
* If you delete a track in a play list, the track number for the next  
track of the deleted track is receded, and then the rest of the  
tracks in the play list are renumbered accordingly. For example,  
when you register 10 tracks (No.1 through No.10) in the first  
play list and you delete the track No.3, the track No.4 is receded  
to No.3 and the rest of the tracks in the play list is renumbered  
accordingly, risulting in 9 tracks in the play list.  
“2P” means the second play list and “New” means that the play list  
contains no track.  
* If you delete a play list, the play list number is reserved until  
other new play list is created. The renumbering for play list  
number is not performed. When you create a play list next time,  
the reserved play list number appears as a new play list number.  
For example, if you have play lists No.1 through No.10 and  
delete the play list No.3, when you create a play list next time,  
“3P-New” appears.
