Safety Precautions

Handling of Mini Disc

As the Mini Disc is accommodated inside a cartridge, it can be handled without caring about dust or fingerprint. However, stained or soiled cartridge may cause malfunction. To enjoy beautiful sound for ex- tended period of time, take care on the following points.

7

Care

Wipe periodically dust and dirt attached on the cartridge with a dry cloth.

Do not touch the disc directly.

Do not touch the disc by opening the shutter with your hand. The cartridge will be damaged if it is forced open.

Write protect tab

To protect recorded contents against accidental erasure, set the write protect tab of the disc open. Return the tab to the original position when you want to record signals on the disc.

Storage position

Do not leave Mini Discs in place where the temperature and/or humidity are extremely high (for example, in a place subject to direct sunlight).

Disc back side

Installation position

The MD recorder is very sensitive to vibrations. It should be installed in a position subject to as small vibration as possible.

Dust countermeasure

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.

8

Maintenance

Cleaning

Unplug this appliance from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, paint thinner, gasoline, or benzine, etc. to clean the cabinet. Use a clean dry cloth.

Caution against contact revitalizer

Do not use contact cleaners because it could cause a malfunction. Be specially careful against contact cleaners containing oil, for they may deform the plastic componente.

Reference notes

Beware of condensation

When water vapor comes into contact with the surface of cold material, water drops are produced.

If condensation occurs, correct operation may not be possible, or the unit may not function correctly.

This is not a malfunction, however, the unit should be dried.

(To do this, turn the POWER switch ON and leave the unit as it is for several hours.)

Memory backup

The typical period for which the memory can be backed up while the power cord is unplugged or the POWER key is set to the OFF position is about 3 weeks, though this may be variable depending on the surrounding environment.

In case of long hours of power failure or slipping out of the power cord, the data related to recording and editing (that is usually recorded at the moment the Mini Disc is ejected) may be cleared or destroyed before it is written in the Mini Disc. Remember that the data lost cannot be recovered.

After recording or editing, be sure to eject the Mini Disc so that the recording or editing data can be written in the disc.

WARNING NOTICE:

IN MOST CASES IT IS AN INFRINGEMENT OF COPYRIGHT TO

MAKE COPIES OF TAPES OR DISCS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION

OF THE COPYRIGHT OWNERS. ANYONE WISHING TO COPY COM-

MERCIALLY AVAILABLE TAPES OR DISCS SHOULD CONTACT THE

MECHANICAL COPYRIGHT PROTECTION SOCIETY LIMITED OR

CD TEXT

CD TEXT is a system that is standardized to allow the display of text data (disc name or song title, artist name etc.) that is recorded on CDs in addition to music.

By digitally connecting this unit with a CD player (CD TEXT compatible), the text data of a CD can be copied to an MD.

Presently (1997), however, some CDs are equipped with a copy prevention code that prohibits the copying of this data. In the case of such CDs, copying of text data is not possible.

On CDs that do not include the text data copy prevention code, the operation of ???CD text editing??? is possible.i

MD system

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 74 minutes of recording or playback is possible using high-efficiency coding technology. 5 Countermeasure against vibration is taken using semiconductor memory chip.

DM-9090 (En)

9

Playback-only Mini Disc

This type of MD can be used only for playback, and is used by the commercially-available mu- sic 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.

Reproduced sound

Reproduced sound

AUTO

If a no-sound input has lasted for 2 seconds during recording, the track number will be incremented automatically by ???1???. Usually, use this position for recording. Use this mode when recording all of the tracks in a CD. When recording music containing a continuous section with a very low level, for example when recording classic music, the track number may be incremented by ???1??? after such a section. In this case, cancel the track number later. It is recommended to use the MANUAL mode when recording such a kind of music.

During digital recording of CD, the track number is incremented auto- matically by ???1??? according to the data contained in the digital informa- tion. But the no-sound blank is not detected.

When the CD track number is increased during manual search of a CD, the track number recorded on the MD may sometimes fail to be incremented.

A nosound track may sometimes created at the moment the played CD stops.

MANUAL

With this setting, the MD track number is not incremented automati- cally during recording. Track numbers can be marked either during editing (by pressing the EDIT key) or after recording (by executing the

TRACK DIVIDE operation ??).

This setting is convenient when recording a CD which has been recorded in live or which contains very low-level sound such as a classical music CD.
