Preparation Before Recording  
Connection for recording  
Connect one of the following music sources to the unit.  
• Analog input to the LINE IN (OPTICAL) jack  
• Digital input to the LINE IN (OPTICAL) jack  
Microphone (not supplied)  
• Microphone input to the MIC (PLUG IN POWER) jack  
Stereo connection cable (not supplied)  
MD player,  
tape deck, etc.  
Optical digital cable (not supplied)  
CD player, etc.  
Notes  
• You cannot mix the microphone sound with the LINE IN source.  
• Since the priority for each input is as follows, be sure to disconnect the other music source before recording. For  
example, disconnect the microphone before recording an analog input.  
Digital input (LINE IN) > MIC input > Analog input (LINE IN)  
• When you make recording using the microphone, noise may occur depending on the microphone you use, if the  
AC adaptor is used. If this happens, use the rechargeable battery or alkaline batteries instead of the AC adaptor.  
Things to know before you start recording  
• It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs  
without the consent of the owner of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast or ca-  
ble programme and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic work embodied therein.  
• Carefully read the “Rules of Digital Dubbing” on page 15.  
• The MD recorder supports the following sampling frequencies for digital source, LINE IN (OPTICAL).  
32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz  
• When recording a digital input or microphone input, the recording level is automatically set correctly. When re-  
cording an analog input, it is necessary to adjust the recording level properly. Recording is not affected by the  
A.C.BASS setting.  
• The accidental erasure prevention knob is provided on the back of an MD cartridge to prevent accidental erasure  
or recording. It must be set to the close position before recording or editing.  
Accidental erasure prevention knob  
• Remote control operation will be disabled during record-  
ing or editing.  
• Unplugging or plugging of the connection cord or micro-  
phone should be avoided during recording.  
• Removal of the rechargeable battery should be avoided  
during recording. Otherwise, you cannot open the lid un-  
less the rechargeable battery is reinserted or AC adaptor  
is connected to the unit.

remote control and the cassette slot of your car au-  
dio system.  
• Adjust the volume level of the unit to an appropri-  
ate level.  
Car audio cassette adaptor  
(3.5 mm dia. stereo plug)  
Car adaptor (CA-R553)  
Notes  
• Since the insertion direction of the car audio cassette adaptor is limited, be sure whether it can be inserted into the  
cassette slot of your car audio system.  
• Depending on the vehicle used, noise may occur. In this case, it is recommended to connect a noise filter available  
on the market between the remote control and car audio cassette adaptor.  
• If your car audio system is equipped with a LINE IN or AUX IN jack, you can connect the output of the remote  
control to the jack using a stereo mini plug signal cord (not supplied). In this case, you do not need the optional  
car audio cassette adaptor.  
Cautions  
Batteries  
• Before replacing batteries, always turn off the unit.  
Rechargeable lithium–ion battery (BN-R3610):  
• Use only the rechargeable battery (BN-R3610) supplied with the unit.  
• If the power delivered by the battery lasts for a very short time after recharging, it means that the battery’s service  
life is over. Do not use it any more.  
• Recharging already charged battery will shorten its service life.  
• When recharging battery for the first time or when it has not been used for a long period of time, the play time  
may be shorter than usual. In a case like this, repeatedly recharge and discharge the battery. This will restore it to  
its regular state.  
• Do not allow any metal objects to touch the terminals of rechargeable battery since this may cause short-circuiting  
which is dangerous.  
• Recharging shall be made at the temperature from 0°C to 40°C.  
Dry cell battery and rechargeable battery:  
To prevent damage to the batteries and electrolyte leakage, heed the following points.  
• Align the ª and · polarities properly when inserting the batteries.  
• Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit for a long period of time.  
• Do not throw batteries into a fire, and do not short-circuit, disassemble or subject them to excessive heat.  
• Do not attempt to recharge dry cell batteries.  
12  
 
Carrying batteries:  
When putting dry cell or rechargeable battery in a pocket or bag, ensure that no other metal objects such as a neck-  
lace are placed together with them. Contact with metal may cause short-circuiting which, in turn, may cause a fire.  
Notice about the rechargeable battery.  
The battery is designated recyclable.  
Please follow your local recycling regulations.  
AC adaptor  
• Handle the AC adaptor carefully. Improper handling is dangerous.  
• Do not touch it with wet hands.  
• Do not place heavy objects on top of it.  
• Do not forcibly bend it.  
• Be sure to connect only the AC adaptor provided with the unit.  
• Disconnect the AC adaptor from the power outlet if the unit is not going to be used for a long time.  
Unit  
No altering or remodelling  
This can cause malfunctioning.  
No dropping or strong impacts  
This may damage the unit.  
Locations to be avoided  
Avoid using the unit in the following locations since they can cause malfunctioning.  
1. Bathrooms and other moisture-prone places.  
2. Warehouses and other dusty places.  
3. Very hot places near heating appliances, etc.  
Do not leave the unit exposed to direct sunlight for long periods of time  
This may deform or discolor the cabinet and may also cause malfunctioning.  
Precautions for Listening with the headphones  
• Do not play your headset at a high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous extended play.  
• If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce volume or discontinue use.  
• Do not use while operating a motorized vehicle. It may create traffic hazard and is illegal in many areas.  
• You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations.  
• Even if your headphones is an open-air type designed to let you hear outside sounds, don’t turn up the volume so  
high that you can’t hear what’s around you.  
When driving a car  
In the interest of traffic safety, do not operate the unit while driving.  
Information on MDs (Minidiscs)  
This is a new digital audio disc format: it has a diameter of 64 mm and enables up to 80 minutes of playback and recording.  
The cartridge  
Playback-only MD  
The diameter of the disc itself is 64 mm, smaller than a CD  
single. The disc sits inside a 68 × 72 mm cartridge, which  
also being pocket size, makes minidiscs extremely handy  
for carrying and storage. Since the disc is protected by the  
cartridge, dust and dirt cannot easily get into it. And thanks  
to a shutter which is closed at all times except during use,  
there is no need to worry about scratches or finger marks,  
making the handling of minidiscs very simple.  
This is the type used for commercially-available pre-re-  
corded MDs, on which recording cannot be done. Like a  
CD, data is recorded based on the presence or absence of  
small indentations called pits. A disc recorded with this for-  
mat is called an “optical disc.”  
Recordable MDs  
These are the so-called “blank” MDs you can use to make  
your own recordings. Data is recorded by magnetism,  
which is easily processed, so that recording can be done  
again and again. By using a laser to heat the disc, the mag-  
netism is erased and the magnetic head records the new  
data. Discs with this type of recording method are called  
magneto-optical (MO) discs.  
Two types of minidisc  
There are two types of minidisc, “recordable MDs” and  
“playback-only MDs.” The playback method for each is the  
same: a laser irradiates the disc and the signal is read from  
the beam which comes back. However, the recording  
method for each type is different.  
13  
 
ATRAC (Adaptive Transform Acoustic  
Coding)  
Sound skip guard memory  
With the minidisc, the data of the track being played can be  
temporarily stored up using a function called “sound skip  
guard memory”. Even when data cannot be collected prop-  
erly from the disc due to shaking or vibrations, information  
is stored in the “sound skip guard memory”, so that there is  
no break in the sound which is actually delivered.  
Within recordings, there are sounds which cannot be readily  
heard. For example, as the volume decreases, high-pitched  
sounds and low-pitched sounds become difficult to hear. Also, if  
a quiet sound comes at the same time as or just after a loud  
sound, it will not be heard. With minidiscs, data is compressed  
using a technology called ATRAC (Adaptive Transform Acous-  
tic Coding) which selectively chooses sounds based on human  
sense of hearing characteristics. With this technology, the re-  
corded data is about one-fifth the volume of the original data, al-  
UTOC (User Table Of Contents)  
In a minidisc, apart from the recorded tracks, there is the  
“UTOC”. In this area, information such as the position  
where each track is recorded, the track divisions, and track  
order are listed. When music search is done, the UTOC is  
consulted, and the tracks are quickly found and played  
back. When editing is done, only the UTOC is changed, so  
there is no need to re-record the tracks.

Minidisc Limitations  
The minidisc records information in an original format that differs from that of conventional cassette tapes or DATs.  
Since there are some limitations with this recording format, the following types of conditions may arise. These condi-  
tions are not malfunctions.  
Condition  
Cause  
“DISC FULL” is displayed, even though the pos-  
sible recording time is not used up.  
With the minidisc, there is a maximum number of tracks which  
can be recorded, regardless of time. More than 254 tracks cannot  
be recorded on a disc.  
“DISC FULL” is displayed, even though the num- When parts of the disc are erased and re-recorded, blank spots are

data is divided and recorded in the blank areas. During recording,  
when these divided parts become numerous, the “DISC FULL”  
message may be displayed. When a part of 8 seconds or less is  
created by division, that track cannot be joined by the JOIN func-  
tion, and even if it is erased, the remaining usable time on the disc  
does not increase. Tracks divided into small pieces may skip when  
fast forward or fast rewind is done.  
The JOIN function sometimes does not work.  
The remaining usable time on the disc does not in-  
crease even when tracks are erased.  
The sound skip during fast forward or fast rewind.  
Minidiscs must have at least 2 seconds of continuous space in or-  
der to record. For this reason, the actual recording time of discs  
with a lot of short blank areas becomes shorter.  
The amount of recorded time on the disc added to  
the amount of remaining time falls shout of the  
disc’s total possible recording time.  
Rules of Digital Dubbing  
The following rules regarding copyright exist for dubbing to MDs from CDs or DATs through digital terminals.  
SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)  
Minidiscs can record clear sound with low loss of quality from CDs or DATs through each component’s digital input/output  
terminal. However, minidiscs are set up so that a disc recorded in this way cannot be recorded onto another minidisc through  
digital input/output terminals. In other words, you can not make a copy of a copy. This rule is called SCMS (Serial Copy  
Management System).  
The recorder is designed in compliance with this rule. If you try to make a copy of a copy the error message “SCMS  
CANNOT COPY” is displayed, and dubbing can not be done.  
OK  
NO

It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the consent of the owner  
of copyright in the sound or video recording, broadcast or cable programme and in any literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic  
work embodied therein.  
Maintenance  
Unit:  
Wipe the unit and remote control with a soft cloth. Remove stubborn dirt using a cloth which has been dipped in  
water or soapy water and wrung out, and then wipe dry.  
• If you intend to use a chemically treated cleaning cloth, read its directions first.  
• Do not use alcohol or paint thinners.  
MDs:  
If the MD cartridge is dirty, wipe it with a damp cloth and then wipe dry.  
When storing MDs, avoid locations which are  
• Exposed to direct sunlight.  
• Susceptible to high levels of humidity or dust.  
• Directly exposed to heat from a heating appliance.  
• On top of a car dashboard or near the rear window.  
Handling the MDs  
• Do not open the shutter. The shutter is usually locked to prevent opening. Do not force to open it or the disc may  
be destroyed.
