1FEATURES
This unit is an audio device using the MiniDisc format. Recording is possible for
up to 80 minutes. Up to 320 minutes can be recorded by using the MDLP mode.
Operation is the same as with regular compact discs (CDs).
1. Clear sound quality
Digital recording provides clear playback sound.
2. Abundant playback functions
Programmed playback, random playback, all track repeat, single track repeat, etc.
3. Numerous editing functions
Editing functions for dividing, combining and moving tracks make it possible to
freely manipulate recorded discs, and disc and track titles can be added. These
functions make it easy to create original discs.
4. Sampling rate converter
Sources with different sampling frequencies, such as DATs and satellite
broadcasts (32 kHz and 48 kHz), can be recorded digitally.
5. Convenient system functions
This unit is equipped for system functions allowing easy synchronized recording,
timer recording/playback and auto function and auto power on operations when
used in combination with the D-F101 series. In addition, system units can be
operated using the system remote control unit (RC-927) included with the receiver
(DRA-F101).
6. MDLP (MD-Long Play) compatibility
This unit is compatible with the MDLP format, thereby allowing stereo
recording/playback for double or quadruple the normal recording/playback time.
7. Low standby power consumption
The power consumption when the power is in the standby mode is reduced to 1
W or less.
2CAUTIONS ON HANDLING
Installation
Do not place a TV set (even a small one) or other object on top of this unit.
When receiving FM, AM and TV broadcasts
If this unit’s power is turned on while receiving FM, AM or TV broadcasts, there may
be noise in the sound or stripes on the TV picture. Keep this unit’s power turned off
when not using it.
This unit uses digital technology, if an FM tuner is placed nearby, it may cause
adverse effects, such as noise in the tuner’s antenna cable, etc.
Be sure to use coaxial cables to connect the antenna and the tuner’s antenna
terminal.
3ABOUT MINIDISCS
2MiniDiscs are compact in size and offer a maximum playback/recording time of 80
minutes in the normal mode and up to 320 minutes in the MDLP mode (long-play
mode).
There are two types of MiniDiscs: those for playback only,
and those for recording and playback.
Playback only MiniDiscs
• These discs are for playback only. Commercially available
music MDs are of this type.
• These are laser discs, like regular compact discs.
• Tracks on such discs cannot be edited.
Recordable MiniDiscs
• These are magneto-optical discs on which both recording and
playback are possible. Recording is performed through
magnetic modulation.
• Re-recording is also possible.
Recording on discs
MiniDiscs include a section in which the
audio signals are recorded and a section in
which such data as track numbers and
track titles are recorded.
2The TOC
With MiniDiscs, after the audio signals are recorded, data used for checking the
tracks (TOC — Table of Contents) is also recorded on the disc. This TOC data is
used when playing the disc. In addition, editing is performed by rewriting the TOC
data.
The TOC is recorded in the following cases:
• When recording is stopped.
• When the MD is ejected.
• When the power button is pressed setting the unit to the standby mode.
• When the 2(stop) button is pressed in the stop mode.
When TOC writing starts, the “ ” indicator flashes. Do not shake the main
unit or unplug the power cord while the TOC is being written. If the data is not
recorded properly, it will not be possible to play the disc.
2Handling MiniDiscs
MiniDiscs are housed in cartridges, so there is no need to worry about dirt and
scratches. However, dirty or warped cartridges may cause malfunction. Be careful
of the following to ensure long-lasting, high quality sound:
• Do not touch the disc surface directly.
• Do not open the shutter by hand.
• Do not place MiniDiscs in dusty, dirty or humid places.
• Do not place MiniDiscs in places exposed to direct sunlight or high temperatures.
Cleaning
Use a dry cloth to gently wipe dirt or dust off the cartridge. Do not apply excessive
force.

Names and Functions of Remote Control Unit Buttons
2Buttons not explained here function in the same way as the
corresponding buttons on the main unit.
(1) Inserting the batteries
Cautions on batteries
• Use R6P (AA) batteries in the remote control unit.
• The batteries should be replaced with new ones
after approximately one year, though this depends
on the frequency with which the remote control unit
is used.
• Even if the batteries are less than a year old, replace
them with new ones if the remote control unit no
longer operates even from a short distance from the
main unit.
• The included battery is only for verifying operation.
Replace it with a new battery as soon as possible.
• When inserting new batteries, wait about two
minutes after removing the old batteries before
inserting the new ones.
• Be sure to set the batteries in the proper “<” and
“>” directions, as indicated by the marks in the
remote control unit’s battery compartment.
• Remove the batteries when not using the remote
control unit for long periods of time.
• To avoid explosions and fluid leakage:
• Do not use one new battery with one old one.
• Do not use two different types of batteries.
• Do not short-circuit, disassemble, heat or dispose of
batteries in flames.
• If the battery fluid should leak, wipe all the fluid off
the battery compartment, then insert new batteries.
qRemove the remote control unit’s back lid.
wInsert the two R6P (AA) batteries in the battery
compartment, in the direction indicated by the marks
inside the compartment.
ePut the back lid back on.
(2) Using the remote control unit
NOTES:
• The remote control unit may not operate if the remote
sensor is exposed to direct sunlight or strong artificial
light, or if there is an obstacle between it and the
remote sensor.
• Do not press buttons on the main unit and on the
remote control unit at the same time. Doing so will
result in malfunction.

GROUP FUNCTIONS
2A group function is a function operating a new function that performs group management of tracks recorded on an
MD.
2Use of the MDLP (MD Long Play) format support on this unit allows stereo recording that is two times or four times
as long as the regular recording time. (This is MDLP recording.) Although it is now possible to record more tracks
than in the past, finding the track when it comes time to play is a difficult job. To this end, the recorded tracks have
been divided into groups so that playback and searches can be performed easily.
2The group functions of this unit provide operations such as those described below.
1. Creation of groups
•Continuous, multiple tracks that have been stored on the MD disc are registered as a group and the group is
created.
•A maximum of 99 groups can be registered to one MD with this unit.
•Modification of the group registration can be performed after storage.
2. Playing of desired groups
•
1Group Mode : a function for playing one group.
•
Group Program : a function for programmed play of registered groups.
3. Changing the tracks within a group and cancellation of groups
•The tracks registered to a group can be deleted, divided, combined, and moved.
•Groups can be canceled and deleted.
4. Adding and changing group titles
•A group name can be added to a registered group.
•The group name of a registered group can be changed.
•This unit allows a total of 100 characters to be entered for a group name.
NOTES:
2Editing with a unit that is not equipped with group functions
Do not use a unit that is not equipped with group functions to delete single tracks, move tracks, or perform other
editing on a disc on which groups are registered.
2Display of group information with a unit that is not equipped with group functions
Group information is actually written to a disc name information storage area. It is for this reason that, when the
disc title is displayed with a unit that is not equipped with group functions, displays such as the following will
appear, but this is not a fault.
0; Disc Name // 1-5; Group Name 1 // 6-9; Group Name 2 //...
2Limitations of this unit's group functions
A maximum of 99 groups can be handled by this unit.
A total of 100 characters can be entered for a group name.
The groups of an MD disc that exceeds these limitations, or groups without track number registration will not be
recognized as groups.
When this unit is used for editing, information that exceeds the limitations of this unit will be deleted.
