Before plugging in or unplugging the headphones, reduce the volume.

Be sure your headphones have a 3.5 mm (1/8") diameter plug and are between 16
ohms and 50 ohms impedance. The recommended impedance is 32 ohms.

Plugging in the headphones disconnects the speakers automatically. Adjust the volume
using the VOLUME buttons.

In "AUX DIGITAL" input, "NO SIGNAL" may be displayed depending on the connected 
equipment.

Level meter

Recording level

Maximum level should not exceed "0dB".

The recording level can be adjusted in 2dB intervals between - 4dB and +10dB.

If the recording level is too low, the sound volume will be decreased. If it is too high, 
the sound will be distorted.

0dB

-4dB ··· +10dB

Recording will start automatically.

The recording level is the level adjusted in the previous recording. (This level can 
also be adjusted whilst recording.)

The disc is stored in a cartridge. You can handle it easily without worrying about dust, fin-
gerprints, etc. However, dust entering the opening of the cartridge, dirt on the cartridge,
warping, etc. may cause malfunctions. Please note the following.

Slide the accidental erase prevention tab, located on the side of the MiniDisc, in the direc-
tion indicated by the arrow.

The MiniDisc is then be protected against accidental erasure.

To add a recording to such a MiniDisc, slide the accidental erase prevention tab back to its
original position.

When attaching a label to a MiniDisc cartridge, be sure to note the following. If the label is
not attached properly, the MiniDisc may jam inside the unit and it may not be possible to
remove it.

If the label peels off or partially lifts away, replace it with a new 
one.

Do not put a new label on top of an existing one.

Attach the label only in the specified location.

There are two types of discs: playback-only and recordable types.

 

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.)

A Shutter will be used on only 
one side (back).

 

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.

Recordable

Recording
prevented

Even if the maximum recording 
time of a MiniDisc has not been 
reached, "TOC FULL" may be 
displayed.

In the MD system, the delimiter of the recording area on 
a MiniDisc is programmed in a TOC. If partial erasing, 
recording and editing are repeated several times, TOC 
information will fill up, even though the number of tracks 
has not reached the limit (255 tracks), and further re-
cording will be impossible. (If you use the all erase func-
tion, this MiniDisc can be used from the beginning.)

Even if the maximum recording 
time of a MiniDisc has not been 
reached, "DISC FULL" may be 
displayed.

If there is any flaw on the MiniDisc, that part is automat-
ically excluded from the space available for recording. 
Therefore, the recording time becomes shorter.

Even if several short tracks are 
erased, the remaining recording 
time may not show an increase.

When the remaining recording time of a disc is dis-
played, short tracks less than 12 seconds long may not 
be included in the total.

Two tracks may not be com-
bined in editing.

For MiniDiscs on which repeated recording and editing 
operations were performed, the COMBINE function may 
not work. A track recorded from a CD (digital recording) 
and a track recorded from a radio or other equipment 
(analogue recording) cannot be combined.

The total of the recorded time 
and time remaining on a disc 
may not add up to the maximum 
possible recording time.

A cluster (about 2 seconds) is normally the minimum 
unit of recording. So, even if a track is less than 2 sec-
onds long, it will use about 2 seconds of space on the 
disc. Therefore, the time actually available for recording 
may be less than the remaining time displayed.

If there are scratches on discs, those sections will be au-
tomatically avoided (no recording will be placed in those 
sections). Therefore, the recording time will be reduced.

If recorded tracks are fast re-
versed or fast forwarded, the 
sound may skip.

A MiniDisc which has been recorded or edited repeated-
ly may skip during fast reverse or fast forward.
