Correct
??? Volume control
The sound level at a given volume setting depends on a com- bination of speaker efficiency, location and various other fac- tors.
It is advisable to avoid exposure to high volume levels, which occur whilst turning the unit on with the volume control set- ting up high, or whilst continually listening at high volumes.
??? Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an ex- tremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD pickup, MiniDisc pickup, etc.) or on the trans- mitter LED on the remote control.
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction.
If this happens, leave the power on with no disc in the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensation on the remote control transmitter LED with a soft cloth before operating the unit.

RECORDING
??? Differences from tape recordings
You cannot record music on the reverse side of a Mini- Disc.
MiniDiscs are single sided and should only be inserted with the correct side up.
You don't need to search for the starting point at which to record.
The unit automatically finds the point at which recording can start. Recording will start from that point.
You can check the total or remaining recordable time (pos- sible recording) before recording.
This lets you plan a recording session so that the last song will not come to an abrupt end before it has finished.
??? Disc writing (TOC)
The TOC (Table of Contents) is information on track numbers and recording areas to allow the unit to recognize musical selections or sounds.
The entire MiniDisc is controlled depending on this TOC, which enables the unit to find the beginning of a track quickly or to automatically record in a vacant area.
When you start recording or editing, "TOC" will appear in the display window.
This indicates that information in the TOC is now being changed according to the recording or editing being per- formed. (The changed TOC is not yet recorded on the MiniDisc at this time.)
The TOC is recorded when
???you stop recording.
???you switch to another input source.
???you eject the MiniDisc.
???you enter the
Do NOT unplug the power lead whilst the TOC is being re- corded ("TOC" is flashing) and do NOT impart shock to the unit. Otherwise, TOC will not be correctly recorded, and con- sequently proper playback may not be possible.
??? About track numbers

WHAT IS A MINIDISC?
The disc is stored in a cartridge.You can handle it easily with- out worrying about dust, fingerprints, etc. However, dust en- tering the opening of the cartridge, dirt on the cartridge, warp- ing, etc. may cause malfunctions. Please note the following.
??? Handling the MiniDisc
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.
Disc
Shutter Cartridge
???Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding [ATRAC]
The ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding) is a new technology that is designed to eliminate the information in sounds which you can not hear and to compress the remain- ing sound data so that the recording uses about 1/5 of the original sound information. Sound data is analysed and filtered to take advantage of psycho acousticmasking. The acoustic quality of the sound is not impaired.
??? Types of discs
There are two types of discs:
???
This type of MiniDisc is used for commercially available prerecorded music. This is the same kind of optical disc as CDs. Playback is performed using an optical pickup. (Re- cording and editing are not possible.)
Where not to store discs:
Do not store discs in places with high temperatures or hu- midity. 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 car- tridge easily (e.g. beaches).
???To prevent recorded discs from being erased accidentally
Slide the accidental erase prevention tab, located on the side of the disc, in the direction indicated by the arrow.
???The disc will then be protected against accidental erasure.
???To add a recording to such a disc, slide the accidental erase prevention tab back to its original position.
Tab
Protected against accidental erasure
??? What is a MiniDisc?
???A MiniDisc is a 64 mm
???Recording and playback use a digital system with a sound quality that is similar to that found on CDs.
MiniDiscs cannot twist or stretch like tapes. The quality of sound will not deteriorate. MiniDiscs are extremely dura- ble.
???Never disassemble MiniDiscs.
A Shutter will be used on only one side (back).
???Recordable MiniDisc:
This is a "raw disc" on which recording can be performed.
A magneto optical disc is used. Recordings are made us- ing a laser and magnetic field. Repeated recording is pos- sible.
Shutters will be used on both sides.
??? How to apply labels
When sticking a label on a MiniDisc cartridge, be sure to ob- serve the following. If a label is not affixed properly, a MiniDisc may become jammed in the unit such that it can not be removed.
???Stick a label correctly to the specified area.
(Do not stick labels to areas other than the specified one.)
???Do not stick one label upon another.
???If a label is peeling off or starts to come
loose, replace it with a new one.
??? 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 due to an external shock, the sound continues without interruption because the information stored in memory is output.
