recording  
For details, see Marking Track Numbers While  
Recording(page 24) and Dividing Recorded Tracks”  
(page 30).  
Depending on the Setup Menu settings and source  
being recorded, track numbers are marked in  
following ways:  
When TOC Writingflashes in the display  
The deck is currently updating the Table Of Contents  
(TOC). Do not move the deck or pull out the AC  
power cord. Changes to an MD made through  
recording are saved only when you update the TOC by  
ejecting the MD or changing the deck to standby by  
pressing the 1/u switch.  
When recording from a CD on the deck or from a CD  
player or MD deck connected through the DIGITAL  
OPTICAL IN connector:  
The deck automatically marks track numbers in the  
same sequence as the original.  
However, the deck may not automatically mark track  
numbers in the following cases:  
When you consecutively record the same track  
two or more times using single-track repeat play.  
When you consecutively record two or more  
tracks with the same track number but from  
different CDs or MDs.  
When you record tracks less than 4 seconds long  
during stereo, monaural, or LP2 Stereo recording  
(less than 8 seconds long during LP4 Stereo  
recording).  
The deck uses the SCMS (Serial Copy Management  
System on page 45)  
The contents of MDs recorded through digital input  
connector cannot be recorded by this deck through the  
DIGITAL OPTICAL IN connector.  
When recording from some CD players and multi  
disc players connected through the DIGITAL  
OPTICAL IN connector with OPTselected by the  
INPUT button:  
The deck may not automatically mark track  
numbers. In these cases, mark the track numbers  
after recording, using the decks Divide Function (see  
Dividing Recorded Trackson page 30).  
When recording from a source connected through  
the ANALOG IN jacks with ANALOGselected by  
the INPUT button or when recording from a DAT or  
satellite broadcast connected through the DIGITAL

Recording for Long Times  
This deck has two long time recording modes: LP2 and  
LP4 (MDLP recording). When recording in LP2 Stereo  
mode, you can record 2 times the normal recordable  
time, and in LP4 Stereo mode, you can record 4 times  
the normal recordable time. In addition, the recordable  
time for monaural recording is approximately double  
the stereo recording time.  
LP4 Stereo mode (4× long time recording mode)  
achieves a long stereo recording time by use of a  
special compression system. When placing emphasis  
on sound quality, Stereo recording or LP2 Stereo  
recording (2× long time recording mode) is

Notes on Editing  
Erasing Recordings  
You can edit the recorded tracks after recording, using  
the following functions:  
Track Erase Function allows you to erase recorded  
tracks simply by specifying the corresponding track  
number.  
Do the procedures below to erase following:  
A single track (Track Erase)  
All tracks (All Erase)  
MENU/NO YES  
All Erase Function allows you to erase the contents  
of an entire MD.  
A-B Erase Function allows you to specify a portion  
within a track to erase it.  
Divide Function allows you to divide tracks at  
specified points so that you can quickly locate those  
points afterwards, using the AMS function.  
Combine Function allows you to combine two tracks  
into one.  
AMS  
Move Function allows you to change the order of  
tracks by moving a specific track to a track position  
you want.  
Erasing a single track (Track Erase  
Function)  
You can erase a track simply by specifying the  
respective track number. When you erase a track, the  
total number of tracks on the MD decreases by one and  
all tracks following the erased one are renumbered.  
Since erasing merely updates the TOC, there is no need  
to record over material.  
Name Function allows you to create and edit titles  
for your recorded MDs and tracks.  
Undo Function allows you to cancel the last edit.  
S.F Edit Function allows you to change the recorded  
level after recording.  
To enter Edit Menu  
1 While the deck is stopped, playing, or pausing,  
press MENU/NO to display Edit Menu.”  
2 Turn AMS to select the desired editing function,  
then press AMS.  
z To avoid confusion when erasing multiple tracks,  
you should proceed in order of high to low track  
number to prevent the renumbering of tracks that  
have not been erased yet.

Dividing Recorded Tracks  
(Divide Function)  
You can shift the starting point by 1-frame* (f)  
intervals (1 frame = 1/86 second).  
With the Divide Function you can mark a track  
number at places that you want to randomly access  
afterwards. Use this function to add tracks to MDs  
recorded from an analog source (and therefore contain  
no track numbers), or to divide an existing track into  
multiple portions for locating positions in the middle  
of a track. When you divide a track, the total number  
of tracks on the MD increases by one and all tracks  
following the divided track are renumbered.  
To shift the point by minute or second intervals,  
press 0 or ) so that minute or second flashes.  
* When recording in Stereo mode, you can shift the  
starting point by 2-frame intervals (in LP2 Stereo  
mode) or by 4-frame intervals (in LP4 Stereo mode).

Use the Combine Function to combine tracks on a  
recorded MD. The two tracks to be combined need not  
to be consecutive and the latter track to be combined  
can be the track which comes before the former one in  
the track number order. This function is useful for  
combining several songs into a single medley, or  
several independently recorded portions into a single  
track. When you combine two tracks, the total number  
of tracks decreases by one and all tracks following the  
combined tracks are renumbered.  
Press AMS or YES when the position is correct.

On the MiniDisc cartridge  
Do not open the shutter to expose the MD.  
Do not place the cartridge where it will be subject to  
extremes of sunlight, temperature, moisture or dust.  
Precautions  
On safety  
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug  
the deck and have it checked by qualified personnel before  
operating it any further.  
On cleaning  
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth  
slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not  
use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent  
such as alcohol or benzine.  
On power sources  
Before operating the deck, check that the operating  
voltage of the deck is identical with your local power  
supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the  
nameplate at the rear of the deck.  
If you have any questions or problems concerning your  
deck, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.  
The voltage selector is located at the rear of the apparatus.  
The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source  
(mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if  
the unit itself has been turned off.  
If you are not going to use the deck for a long time, be  
sure to disconnect the deck from the wall outlet. To  
disconnect the AC power cord, grasp the plug itself;  
never pull the cord.  
AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified  
service shop.  
On condensation in the deck  
If the deck is brought directly from a cold to a warm  
location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may  
condense on the lenses inside the deck. Should this occur,  
the deck may not operate properly. In this case, remove the  
CD or MD and leave the deck turned on for about an hour  
until the moisture evaporates.  
On handling CDs  
To keep the CD clean, handle the CD by its edge. Do not  
touch the surface.  
Do not stick paper or tape onto the CD.  
Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat sources  
such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in direct  
sunlight as there can be a considerable rise in temperature  
inside the car.  
Sticky adhesives or inks from the CD label, if present, may  
become attached to internal parts, causing jamming of the  
CD or malfunction of the unit. Always check the CD label  
carefully for sticky substances before inserting the CD. Do  
not use the following types of CDs:  
Rental or used CDs with adhesive extending out from  
the edge of the sticker. Check along the edge of the  
sticker for stickiness.  
CDs with labels printed with special inks that are  
sticky to the touch.

The following table explains the various messages that  
appear in the display. Also, the deck has a Self-  
Diagnosis Function (see page 50).  
Step Full!  
The program contains the maximum  
number of tracks. You cannot set  
additional tracks.  
TextProtect  
There is information in the CD text that  
cannot be recorded to an MD.  
Message  
Meaning  
Blank Disc  
A new (blank) or erased MD has been  
inserted.  
Cannot Copy  
Cannot Edit  
An attempt was made to make a second  
copy from a digitally dubbed MD (see  
page 45).  
An attempt was made to edit the MD  
during Program or Shuffle Play or to  
change the recording level of an MD  
recorded in LP2 or LP4 Stereo mode. Or  
the MD is record-protected.  
CD Error!  
An operational error has occurred in the  
CD player section. Wait a few seconds,  
and then try the operation again.  
Disc Full!  
Edit NOW  
The MD is full (see “System Limitations”  
on page 42).  
You pressed 1/u while in S.F Edit  
(changing the recording level after  
recording, Fade-in, Fade-out) mode.  
If you turn off the deck while in S.F Edit  
mode, any changes that you have made  
will not be made properly. Finish the  
changes and leave S.F Edit mode before  
turning off the deck.  
Impossible  
The deck cannot do the specified editing  
operation (see pages 30 and 32).  
Incomplete!  
The S.F Edit (changing the recording level  
after recording, Fade-in, Fade-out)  
operation was not performed properly  
because the deck was moved while  
recording was in progress or the MD is  
damaged or dirty.  
Initialize (flashing This happens when the deck has been  
when you turn on disconnected from the AC power source  
the deck)  
for certain period of time.  
Name Full!  
The titling capacity of the MD has reached  
its limit (about 1,700 characters).  
No Change  
While attempting to change the recording  
level after recording, you pressed AMS or  
YES without actually changing the  
recording level, so no change was made.  
No Disc  
There is no MD in the deck.  
No Name  
Premastered  
The disc or track has not been labeled.  
An attempt was made to record on the  
premastered MD.  
41  
Ad d it io n a l In fo rm a t io n  
Track numbers are not recorded correctly  
Incorrect assignment or recording of track numbers may  
result when CD tracks are divided into several smaller tracks  
during digital recording. Also, when the Track Marking  
Function is activated during recording, track numbers may  
not marked as in the original depending on the program  
source.  
System Limitations  
The recording system in your deck is 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.  
Extra tracks are created  
When there is a long silence between CD tracks, an extra  
track may be created.  
Disc Full!lights up even before the MD has reached  
the maximum recording time  
TOC Readingappears for a long time  
If the inserted recordable MD is brand new, TOC Reading”  
appears in the display longer than for MDs that have been  
used.  
When 255 tracks have been recorded on the MD, Disc Full!”  
lights up regardless of the total recorded time. More than  
255 tracks cannot be recorded on the MD. To continue  
recording, erase unnecessary tracks or use another  
recordable MD.  
Limitations when recording over an existing track  
The correct remaining recording time may not be  
displayed.  
Disc Full!lights up before the maximum number of  
tracks is reached  
You may find it impossible to record over a track if that  
track has been recorded over several times already. If this  
happens, erase the track using the Track Erase Function  
(see page 28).  
Fluctuations in emphasis within tracks are sometimes  
interpreted as track intervals, incrementing the track count  
and causing Disc Full!to light up.  
The remaining recording time may be shortened out of  
proportion to the total recorded time.  
Recording over a track to eliminate noise is not  
recommended since this may shorten the duration of the  
track.  
The remaining recording time does not increase even  
after erasing numerous short tracks  
Tracks under 12 seconds* in length are not counted and so  
erasing them may not lead to an increase in the recording  
time.  
* During stereo recording. (approximately 24 seconds  
during monaural and LP2 stereo recording, or 48 seconds  
during LP4 stereo recording)  
You may find it impossible to label a track while recording  
over it.  
The correct recorded/playing time may not be displayed  
during playback of monaural-format MDs.  
Some tracks cannot be combined with others  
Track combination may become impossible when tracks are  
edited.  
The total recorded time and the remaining time on the  
MD may not total the maximum recording time  
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.  
* During stereo recording. (approximately 4 seconds during  
monaural and LP2 stereo recording, or 8 seconds during  
LP4 stereo recording)  
Tracks created through editing may exhibit sound  
dropout during search operations.

2 You can record the digital input signal of a digital satellite  
broadcast onto a DAT tape or recordable MD via the  
digital input jack on the DAT or MD deck which is capable  
of handling a sampling frequency of 32 kHz or 48 kHz.  
You can then record the contents of this recorded DAT  
tape or MD (first-generation) onto another DAT tape or  
recordable MD via digital input jack on the DAT or MD  
deck to create a second-generation digital copy.  
Subsequent recording from the second-generation copy  
onto another recordable DAT tape or MD is possible only  
through the analog input jack on the DAT or MD deck.  
Note, however, that on some BS/CS tuners, second-  
generation digital copying may not be possible.  
Guide to the Serial Copy  
Management System  
This MD deck uses the Serial Copy Management  
System, which allows only first-generation digital  
copies to be made of premastered software via the  
decks digital input jack. An outline of this system  
appears below:  
1 You can record from digital program sources (CDs, DATs  
or premastered MDs) onto a DAT tape or recordable MD  
via digital input jack on the DAT or MD deck.  
You cannot, however, record from this recorded DAT tape  
or MD onto another DAT tape or recordable MD via the  
digital input jack on the DAT or MD deck.

Handling MDs  
On handling CDs  
The MD is enclosed in a cartridge to protect the disc  
from debris or fingerprints and to make it easy to  
handle.  
However, the presence of debris or a warped cartridge  
may inhibit the disc from operating properly. To  
ensure that you can always listen to the highest quality  
music, follow the precautions below:  
To keep the disc clean, hold it along its edges only.  
Do not leave fingerprints on the surface.  
Do not stick adhesive papers or tapes onto the disc.  
Only regular circular discs can be used in this deck.  
Irregularly shaped discs, such as star- or heart-  
shaped discs, may damage the deck.  
If there is glue or a similar substance on the disc,  
remove it completely before using the disc.  
Do not touch the internal disc directly. Forcing the  
shutter open may damage the internal disc.  
Be sure to stick the labels supplied with the MD to  
the appropriate positions. The shape of the labels  
may vary depending on the MD brand.  
On storage  
Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight, heat  
sources, or high humidity.  
Store discs in their cases. Do not store discs either  
stacked horizontally or standing vertically without  
their cases.

Proper location  
of the labels  
Where to keep the MDs  
Do not place the cartridge where it may be exposed to  
direct sunlight or extremely high heat and humidity.  
On cleaning  
Fingerprints or dust on the CD may cause  
poor sound reproduction or sound  
dropout.  
Regular maintenance  
Before playing a disc, clean it with a cleaning  
cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.  
If the disc is still dirty after being wiped with a  
cleaning cloth, wipe it again with a slightly  
moistened cloth. Then wipe off the residual moisture  
with a dry cloth.  
Wipe dust and debris from the surface of the cartridge  
with a dry cloth.  
Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner,  
commercially available cleaners or antistatic spray  
intended for vinyl LPs.  
Note on High-Speed CD-MD Synchro-  
Recording  
Certain CD conditions may cause sound dropout or  
noise in the recording results, or even create  
unwanted tracks on the MD. If this happens, clean  
the CD as instructed on On cleaningabove, and  
record material to the MD using normal-speed CD-  
MD Synchro-Recording only.
