BASIC INFORMATION ON MINIDISCS

H Differences from tape recordings

H Note about making digital copies

MiniDiscsaredesignedsothatfurthercopiescannotbemadefromdigitally

recorded MiniDisc tracks. This is a specification of the SCMS (Serial Copy

Management System).

You cannot record music on the back side of a MiniDisc.

MiniDiscs cannot be inserted when they are turned over.

(Page 37)

You don’t need to search for the starting point at which to

record.

H About track numbers

The unit automatically finds the point at which recording can start.

Recording will start from that point.

When you make a recording on a MiniDisc, track numbers are created

automatically.

When recording from CDs inserted in this unit or making a

digital recording from an external unit (CD or MD)

Youcancheckthetotalorremainingrecordabletime(possible

recording) before recording.

New track numbers will be created automatically according to the original

tracks (Synchro mark function).

This lets you plan a recording session so that the last song will not

come to an abrupt end before it has finished. (Page 17)

I When you record from a CD to a MiniDisc, the track numbers recorded

on the MiniDisc may not match the track numbers on the CD.

The date and time of a recording are automatically saved with

the recording.

EDITING

We will explain the 5 editing functions you can use to create your own

recorded MiniDiscs.

Divide

A track can be divided into two tracks. If two selections were recorded as

a single track because there was not enough silent space between the

tracks, you can use the DIVIDE function to separate the selections.

This feature is also convenient for identifying specific points with one

selection so that you can locate those points easily whenever you like.

(Page 22)

Combine

Two adjacent tracks (for example, the third and fourth tracks) can be

combined.

If there is a prolonged silence in the middle of a selection that is recorded,

a single piece of music may be recorded as two tracks. If this happens,

these two tracks can be combined into a single track.

(Page 22)

Erase

Tracks you want to erase can be erased one at a time or all at once.

Once a track has been erased, it cannot be recovered.

Double-check the track number before erasing it.

(Page 24)

Move

The order of the recorded tracks can be changed. This feature is different

from program play. A new track order can be recorded directly on the disc.

When the power is turned off, the revised order will not be changed.

(Page 23)

Programmed move function

This function allows the track numbers to be automatically rearranged in

the order specified for programmed playback. The track numbers will be

adjusted as needed, automatically.

(The tracks that are not included in the programmed selections will be put

at the end of the new track numbers.)

(Page 23)

Track/Disc name

You can assign titles to recorded tracks and to discs. The characters must

becapitalandlowercaseletters,orsymbols.Trackanddiscnamescanuse

WHAT IS A MINIDISC?

The disc is stored in a cartridge. You can handle it easily without

worrying about dust, fingerprints, etc.

However, dust entering the opening of the cartridge, dirt on the

cartridge, etc. may cause malfunctions. Please note the following.

Handling MiniDiscs

Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding

[ATRAC]

Do not touch the disc directly!

Do not open the shutter or touch the disc directly.

If the shutter is opened forcibly, it may break.

ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding) is a new technology that

is designed to eliminate the information in sounds which you can not hear

andtocompresstheremainingsounddatasothattherecordingusesabout

1/5 of the original sound information.

Sound data is analyzed and filtered to take advantage of psycho acoustic

masking. The acoustic quality of the sound is not impaired.

Disc

Cartridge

Shutter

Types of discs

There are two types of MiniDiscs: playback-only and recordable type.

I Playback-only MiniDisc:

This type of MiniDisc is used for commercially available pre-recorded

music. This is the same kind of optical disc as a CD. Playback is

performed using an optical pickup.(Recording and editing are not

possible.)

A shutter is used on only one side (back).

Where not to store discs:

I Recordable MiniDisc:

Do not store discs in places with high temperatures or humidity.

Specifically, do not leave discs in places exposed to direct sunlight or

in cars with doors and windows closed.

Do not leave discs in places where sand can get into the cartridge

easily (e.g., a beach).

This is a “blank disc” is which recording can be performed. A magneto

optical disc is used.

Recordings are made using a laser and a magnet. Repeated recording

is possible.

Regular cleaning:

Ifthesurfaceofthecartridgebecomesdustyordirty, cleanitwithasoft,

dry cloth.

Label

To prevent recorded discs from being

erased accidentally

Shutters will be used on both sides.

(accidental erasure prevention)

Helpful tip when attaching labels

Slide the accidental erasure prevention tab, located on the side of the

disc, in the direction indicated by the arrow.

To attach labels on MD cartridges, be sure to observe the following:

I The disc will then be protected against accidental erasure.

Ifalabelisnotproperlyattached, theMDmayjaminsidetheunitanditmay

not be possible to remove it.

I To add a recording to such a disc, slide the accidental erasure

prevention tab back to its original position.

I Only attach labels in the specified location. (Do not put labels anywhere

else.)

Tab

I Do not put a label on top of another one.

I If a label is peeled off or it lifts away, replace it with a new one.

What is a MiniDisc?

Shock-Resistant Memory

During playback, approximately 10 seconds of information is stored in the

semiconductor memory. Therefore, even when the pickup cannot read

information for a second or two because of external shock, the sound

continues without interruption because the information stored in memory

is output.

I A MiniDisc is a 2-1/2" (64-mm) diameter disc which is stored in a

cartridge. MiniDiscs are easy to handle, compared with compact

discs, because they are protected against dust and scratches.

I Recording and playback use a digital system with a sound quality

that is similar to that with compact discs.

MiniDiscscannottwistorstretchliketapes. Thequalityofsoundwill

not deteriorate. MiniDiscs are extremely durable.

I Never disassemble a MiniDisc.

*35-40

98.6.23, 10:11 AM

MINIDISC SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

Even if the maximum recording time of a MiniDisc is not

reached, “DISC FULL” or “TOC FULL” may be displayed.

When the number of tracks used reaches the limit, regardless of the remainder being

recordingtime,furtherrecordingwillbeimpossible. (Maximumnumberoftracks:255)

Even if the number of tracks and the recording time have

not reached the limit, “DISC FULL” may be displayed.

When emphasis information (equalizer treatment in the treble section) in a track

switches on/off many times, each change is assumed to be the beginning of a new

track, which will quickly use up all available track numbers, making further recording

impossible, regardless of the remaining time, recording time or the number of tracks

on the original.

Even if several short tracks are erased, the remaining

recording time may not show an increase.

When the remaining recording time of a disc is displayed, short tracks less than 15

seconds long may not be included in the total.

Two tracks may not be combined in editing.

For MiniDiscs which repeated recording and editing operations were performed,

the COMBINE function may not work.

The total of the recorded time and time remaining on a disc

may not add up to the maximum possible recording time.

A cluster (about 2 seconds) is normally the minimum unit of recording. So, even if a

track is less than 2 seconds long, it will use about 2 seconds of space on the disc.

Therefore, the time actually available for recording may be less than the remaining

time displayed.

If there are scratches on a disc, those sections will be automatically avoided (no

recording will be placed in those sections). Therefore, recording time will be

reduced.
