POWER INPUT LEVEL / DISPLAY / CHAR TIME AMS 1 Turn on the mixer and program source. 2 Select the source on the mixer. 3 Press POWER to turn on the recorder. 4 Insert a recordable MD.
Operations you may want to do during recording To Stop recording Pause recording Resume recording after Eject the MD Press x 7 7 after stopping recording A Changing display during recording Press LEVEL/DISPLAY/CHAR (DISPLAY) repeatedly. For the contents of display, see “Using the Display Window” on page 12. To prevent accidental erasure of the recorded material To make it impossible to record on an MD, slide the record-protect tab in the direction of the arrow (see illustration below) to open the slot.
The digital output connectors of the mini-disk recorder output the signal input from the digital input connectors as it is during recording or recording pause. Use an input monitor function (page 22) when only a builtin sampling rate converter is used. Recording for long times In addition to normal stereo recording, this recorder has two long time recording modes: LP2 and LP4.
Adjusting the Recording Level You can adjust the recording level for both analog and digital recording.

Use INPUT to select the program source to be monitored. Press z.
Marking Track Numbers While Recording (Track Marking) You can mark track numbers either manually or automatically while recording. By marking track numbers at specific points, you can quickly locate the points later or edit the MD easily. MENU/NO YES To set the level of input signals for Automatic Track Marking of “Level Sync” The recorder marks a track number whenever the input of a signal at the set level or below continues for at least 1.5 seconds and a signal at the set level or above is also input.
• When recording from a component connected to the ANALOG IN jacks with “Track Mark Off” selected or when recording from a DAT recorder or DBS tuner connected to the DIGITAL IN connector, the entire material may be recorded as a single track. • When recording from a DAT recorder or DBS tuner connected to the DIGITAL IN connector, the recorder will mark a track number whenever the sampling frequency of the input signal changes, regardless of the track marking parameter setting .
Synchro-recording With the Audio Component of Your Choice (Music Synchro-recording) Z The Music Synchro-recording allows you to automatically synchronize recording on the MD recorder with the playing of the selected ogram source. The Track Marking function, however, will differ according to the program source. For details, see “Marking Track Numbers While Recording” on page 23.
Operations you may want to do during CD Synchro-recording To Stop recording Pause recording Locate the next track to be recorded during recording pause Resume recording after pausing Check the remaining recordable time on the MD Press CD-SYNCHRO STOP CD-SYNCHRO STANDBY CD PLAYER .

You can play late at up to 12.5% of normal speed (in this case, a pitch is low) and fast at up to 12.5% of normal speed (in this case, a pitch is high). Note MDLP-recorded tracks cannot be played faster than normal speed. When you play an MD containing the MDLP-recorded tracks, adjustment of the speed automatically (0 to _12.5%) is made.
Editing Recorded MDs This chapter explains the various editing methods that are available. Before you start editing RAM editing and DISC editing Two edit modes are available. DISC editing : The results of editing are recorded to the disc’s TOC. RAM editing : The results of editing are not recorded, but are only temporarily edited for output. RAM editing allows for the editing of record-protected discs or premastered discs. Editing operation methods are common.
Using buttons and control for editing operations The buttons and control of the recorder can be used as described below to erase, divide, move or combine tracks. Note When a name is given to a track or disc, the functions of the buttons and control described below will change. For more details, see the section “Naming track or MD” (page 46). MENU / NO Erasing Tracks (ERASE) By specifying the number of a track to be erased, or the section to be deleted.

Operating the MD Recorder Using a Keyboard This chapter explains simple ways to name a track or MD using an optional keyboard, as well as how to operate the MD recorder directly through the keyboard. Setting the keyboard You can use any IBM*-compatible keyboard with a PS/2 interface**. You can select a keyboard with either an English or Japanese key layout. When you use a keyboard with a different layout, you will have to assign characters to the keys.
Naming a Track or MD Using the Keyboard Using the Edit Menu 1 • To name a track or MD Press [Esc] while the recorder is stopped, playing or paused. • To name a track during recording. Press [Esc} during recording. “Edit Menu” appears in the display. You can easily enter or edit names. Short cut to the naming procedure 1 To give a name to a track or MD, do the following.
Operating the Recorder Through the Keyboard You can operate the MD recorder by using the keyboard keys. This allows you to control the recorder and edit MDs without using the recorder buttons and controls or the remote. For more detail on the functions below, see “Front Panel Descriptions” on pages 6 or “Remote Description” on pages 8 and 9.
Assigning Characters to Keyboard Keys Clearing key assignments Key assignments can be cleared one at a time, or all at once. To clear a key assignment Assigning a character If your keyboard layout is not that of an English or Japanese keyboard, the display may show the wrong characters, or no characters at all, when you press the keys. In this case, you must assign characters to the keys. 1 While the recorder is stopped, press [Esc] twice. “Setup Menu” appears in the display.
Keyboard Operations (English Keyboard Layout) Press the same number A.CUE as for the track number SCROLL A.
Additional Information This chapter provides additional information that will help you understand and maintain your MD recorder. System Limitations The recording system of your MD or Mini-disc recorder is radically different from those use din cassette and DAT recorders, and is characterized by the limitations described below. Note, however, that these limitations are due to the inherent nature of the MD recording system itself, and not to mechanical causes.
Tracks created by editing may exhibit sound dropouts as you’re searching for a point while monitoring the sound. Some tracks cannot be combined with others Tracks may not be combined if they have been edited. Track numbers are not marked correctly Incorrect assignment or marking of track numbers may result when CD tracks are divided into several smaller tracks during digital recording.
Self-Diagnosis Function Message (code) Din Unlock The recorder’s self-diagnosis function automatically checks the condition of the MD recorder when an error occurs, displays message.
