DM-SG7(EN)

Special feature

This unit is audio equipment based on the Mini Disc format. The Mini Disc (MD) is an application of the optical

and magneto-optical technology and has the capability to record signals on discs.The operability of the MD is

equivalent to the Compact Disc (CD). The MD uses optional non-contact system so the recordings are not

degraded by eternal factors and the discs are never scratched or damaged in playback.

Convenient title search

After recording of music tracks on a Mini Disc, their title can

be registered additionally. Once the titles have been regis-

tered, thedesiredmusictracksontheMiniDisccanbeplayed

by referring to the display, not the record jacket, etc.

High-quality playback/recording

This unit incorporates a high-performance, 1-bit DAC for

playback with a high sound quality. Digital recording with a

high sound quality is also possible thanks to the optical input

jack.

Simplified CD recording (O.T.E.)

When this unit is combined with the CD player (DP-SG7), the

O.T.E. (One Touch Edit) function allows to record desired

tracks with a one-touch operation.

Convenient editing features

The contents of the disc recorded by yourself can be edited

as you need.

¶ Reordering tracks

: The order of tracks can be changed by moving them as desired.

¶ Dividing a track

: A single track can be split into two by inserting an additional track

number.

¶ Combining two tracks

: Two tracks can be merged into a single track by deleting a track

number.

¶ Erasing tracks

: Music tracks or an entire disc you do not want to listen to can be

erased, or all titles are erased.

CD-TEXT display

When used in combination with a CD player (DP-SG7), the

text information (disc and track titles) can be displayed on

the side of this unit. Depending on the type of characters,

display may not be possible.

Safety Precautions

Installation position

Memory backup

The MD recorder is very sensitive to vibrations. It should

be installed in a position subject to as small vibration as

possible.

The memory storage is held for about a day after the

power cord has been unplugged from the power outlet.

In case the power supply has stopped or the power cord

has been left unplugged for an extended period of time,

the information related to recording and editing (re-

corded at the moment a Mini Disc is ejected) may be

cleared or destroyed before it is recorded on the disc.

The lost information cannot be recovered later.

Dust countermeasure

To ensure the recording of the recording and editing-

related information on the Mini Disc, be sure to eject the

Mini Disc after every recording or editing operation.

The shutter of the disc cartridge is permanently open

while the disc is loaded in the set. Therefore, to prevent

dust from penetrating inside the disc, take the disc out of

the unit immediately after completion of recording or

playback.

What is CD-TEXT?

CD-TEXT is a standard for display of character informa-

tion (disc name, track titles, artist names, etc.) recorded

on a CD in addition to the music. When this unit and a CD

player (corresponding to CD-TEXT) are connected by

digital connection, the CD character information can be

copied to the MD.

However, as of 1997, some CDs contain a copy prohibi-

tion code, so that the character information can not be

copied. In such a case, the character information will be

displayed on the screen, but it can not be copied.

“CD text Edition” operation becomes possible for CDs

This unit may not function properly if condensation oc-

curs. In this case, leave the unit for a few hours with

the power left ON, and restart the operation after the

condensation has dride up.

Be specially cautious against condensatin in a following

circumsatance:

When this unit is carried from a place to another across

a large difference in temperature, when the humidity

in the room where this unit is installed increases, etc.

MD system

DM-SG7(EN)

The Mini Disc system has the features as summarized in the following.

1 Like CD (Compact Disc), playback can be started from any position. (Random access)

2 It uses a disc with a diameter of 64 mm that is accommodated in a cartridge.

3 Two types of discs can be used. (playback only discs, recordable / playable discs).

4 Up to 80 minutes of recording or playback is possible using high-efficiency coding technology.

5 Countermeasure against vibration is taken using semiconductor memory chip.

Playback-only 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 MD is an optical disc 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.

Recordable Mini Disc

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.

MD system

DM-SG7(EN)

High-efficiency coding technology “ATRAC” (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding)

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.

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 80 minutes.

Sound does not affect the sensitivity of ears

Small sound near large sound

A small sound is not audible to human ears if it is

produced at the same time as a large sound. (Mask-

ing effect)

Lowest and highest

frequencies are not

audible unless the

sound has a certain

level of volume.

Lowest

frequencies

Highest

frequencies

Sound-skip prevention memory

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.

During normal playback

In case of vibration

Mini Disc

The sound data for several

seconds is always stored

during playback.

When the readout from disc

is interrupted momentarily

due to vibration or shock, the

reproduced sound from the

memory will not be inter-

rupted.

Digital recording and SCMS

Digital recording on a Mini disc is not possible under the following conditions.

1 In case the source contains the copy prohibit code (SCMS – Serial Copy Management System).

— “SCMS ON” is displayed and the unit enters the record-pause mode.

2 Locking to the reference clock is not possible. — “UNLOCK” is displayed and Pause status is engaged.

Sampling frequency

Three types of digital signals are usually used according to the sampling frequencies. The sampling

frequencies vary depending on the types of digital equipment as shown below.

32 kHz : Standard and long-hour modes of DAT, A mode broadcasting of BS tuner, etc.

44.1 kHz : Standard mode of DAT, CD, MD, etc.

48 kHz : Standard mode of DAT, B mode broadcasting of BS tuner, etc.

(DAT : Digital Audio Tape deck)

In general, high-quality recording based on digital signal transmission is not possible unless the source

and recorder components use the same sampling frequency. As this unit has a built-in sampling rate

converter, digital signals with 32 kHz and 48 kHz can be recorded by conversion to the MD sampling

frequency (44.1 kHz).

SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)

Designed for copyright protection, the SCMS is a prescription that copying of digital signals as they are in the

digital form between digital audio equipment is allowable only for one generation.
