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 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 are not going to use the deck

for a long time, be sure to disconnect

the deck from the wall outlet. To

disconnect the mains lead, grasp the

plug itself; never pull the cord.

• The mains switch is located on the

rear exterior.

• Mains lead must be changed only at

the qualified service shop.

On placement

Do not install the appliance in a

confined space, such as a bookcase or

built-in cabinet because the mains

power switch (MAIN POWER) is

located on the rear exterior.

On operation

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 MD and leave the deck turned on

for about an hour until the moisture

evaporates.

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.

On cleaning

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls

Hookups

Connecting the deck to an amplifier

Connect the amplifier to the LINE (ANALOG) IN/OUT

jacks using the audio connecting cords (supplied), making

sure to match the colour-coded cords to the appropriate

jacks on the components: red (right) to red and white (left) to

white. Be sure to make connections firmly to prevent hum

and noise.

Connecting the deck to a digital component such as a CD

player, DAT deck, digital amplifier, or another MD deck

Connect the component through the DIGITAL IN/OUT

connectors with two optical cables (only one supplied).

Take the caps off the connectors and then insert the plugs

parallelly until they click into place.

Be sure not to bend or tie together the optical cables.

z Automatic conversion of digital sampling rates

during recording

A built-in sampling rate converter automatically

converts the sampling frequency of various digital

sources to the 44.1 kHz sampling rate of your MD deck.

This allows you to record sources such as 32- and 48-

kHz DAT or satellite broadcasts, as well as compact

discs and other MDs.

Notes

• If “Din Unlock” or “Cannot Copy” appears in the display,

recording through the digital connector is not possible.

In this case, record the programme source through the

LINE (ANALOG) IN jacks with INPUT set to ANALOG.

• When recording through the DIGITAL IN connector, you

cannot adjust the recording level.

Recording on MDs

The MD deck uses the SCMS (Serial Copy Management

System on page 36)

MDs recorded through digital input connector cannot be

copied onto other MDs or DAT tapes through the digital

output connector.

When recording digital signals that have been emphasized

(in the higher frequencies)

The signal is automatically de-emphasized (with attenuation

proportional to the degree of emphasis) and the level of the

de-emphasized signal is indicated on the peak level meters.

When the deck is recording or in recording pause, digital

signals input through DIGITAL IN are output to DIGITAL

OUT with the same sampling rate.

To change the digital input signal to another sampling rate

for output (without recording it to an MD), use Input

Monitor Function (see page 10).

Recording on MDs

Useful Tips for Recording

Checking the remaining recordable time on

the MD

• When you press DISPLAY/CHAR while recording,

the remaining recordable time on the MD appears.

• When you press DISPLAY/CHAR repeatedly while

the deck is stopped, the display changes as follows:

total recorded time, remaining recordable time on

the MD, disc name (see page 17).

(Continued)

Notes on Recording

If “Protected” appears in the display

The MD is record-protected. Close the slot to record on the

disc (see “To protect an MD against accidental erasure” on

page 7).

If “Din Unlock” flashes in the display

• The digital programme source is not connected as you set

with INPUT in Step 4 on page 6.

To continue, connect the programme source properly.

• The programme source is not on.

Turn on the programme source.

Depending on source being recorded, track numbers are

marked in following ways:

• When recording from a CD or MD with INPUT at

DIGITAL and the source connected through DIGITAL IN:

The deck automatically marks track numbers in the same

sequence as the original. If, however, a track is repeated

two or more times (e.g. by single-track repeat play) or two

or more tracks with the same track number (e.g. from

different MDs or CDs) are played, the track or tracks are

recorded as part of a single, continuous track with a single

track number.

If the source is an MD, track numbers may not be marked

for tracks of less than 4 seconds.

• When recording with INPUT at DIGITAL the deck may

not automatically mark track numbers for some CD

players and multi disc players. In these cases, mark the

track numbers afterwards using the deck’s Divide

Function (see “Dividing Recorded Tracks” on page 26).

• When recording from source connected through LINE

(ANALOG) IN with INPUT at ANALOG, and “LEVEL-

SYNC” does not light up (see “Marking Track Numbers

while Recording” on page 12) or when recording from

DAT or satellite broadcasts connected through DIGITAL

IN with INPUT at DIGITAL:

The source will be recorded as a single track. You can

divide the track afterwards using the Divide Function on

page 26 or mark track numbers during recording by using

the Track Marking Function on page 12.

If “LEVEL-SYNC” appears in the display, the deck

automatically marks track numbers when recording

analog source or digital recording of DAT or satellite

broadcasts (see “Marking track numbers automatically”

on page 12).

• When recording from DAT or satellite broadcasts with

INPUT at DIGITAL, the deck automatically marks a track

number whenever the sampling frequency of the input

signal changes.

When “TOC” flashes in the display

The deck is currently updating the Table Of Contents (TOC).

Do not move the deck or pull out the mains lead. 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 1/u.

specified time arrives, the deck stops recording

and turns off.

• When you have set the time for both the start

and end of recording, the deck turns off. When

the starting time arrives, the deck turns on and
