■Types of discs
E-8
There are two types of discs: playback-only and recordable discs.
Notes:
● Playback-only MiniDisc:
This type of MiniDisc usually contains
commercially available pre-recorded
music. This is the same kind of optical
disc as CDs. Playback is performed us-
ing an optical pickup.
(Recordingandeditingarenotpossible.)
● Recordable MiniDisc:
This is a “raw disc” on which recording
can be performed.
This is a magneto-optical disc.
Recordings are made using a laser and
a modulated magnetic field. Repeated
recording is possible.
■ To prevent recorded discs from being erased accidentally
Slide the accidental erase prevention tab,
located on the side of the disc, in the direc-
tion indicated by the arrow.
●The disc will then be protected against
accidental erasure.
●To add a recording to such a disc, slide
theaccidentalerasepreventiontabback
to its original position.
●Whenmaking important recordings, it is
recommended that you use the AC
adaptor. A fully charged rechargeable
battery should be loaded into the unit.
Then,even if a power failureoccurs, the
power source will switch over to the re-
chargeable battery automatically.
●Whenusing the rechargeable battery or
the alkaline battery, if the headphones
volume level is set to “0”, the battery
consumption will be less than when lis-
tening to the recording whilst it is being
made.
●Inserteachplugfirmly.Iftheconnections
arepoor, the recordingmaynotbemade
properly. Always keep the plugs clean.
Iftheplugsare dirty, electrical noise may
be recorded.

There will only
be a shutter on
one side (the back).
Shutters can be
seen on both
sides of this
type of disc.

ment. When sound is present, it automatically starts the recording. When the source is
silent, the recording will be paused. ●Adjust the recording level so that the
maximum sound volume from the
source makes the reading swing
somewhere between -4 dB and 0 dB.

●If a MiniDisc is protected against acci-
dental erasure (page 8)
About the recording level:
●Iftherecordinglevel is too low,theplay-
back sound volume may be too low to
hear well. If it is too high, the playback
sound may be greatly distorted. Since
digitally recorded CDs have a large dy-
namic range (the volume can vary tre-
mendously from very soft to extremely
loud),do not setthe recording levelany
higher than is necessary.
Precautions when recording:
●Do not jar or bump the main unit whilst
recording. Otherwise, the recording
may be unusable.
●Depending on the strength and type of
playback signal in the original record-
ing, the new recording may not begin
or pause at the correct point when in
the synchro mode. If this happens, try
making a manual recording.
Precautions when inserting a MiniDisc:
●To insert aMiniDisc,pushonthe middle
of the edge of the disc whilst holding it
parallel to the main unit.
●If any resistance is felt, do not try to
force the MiniDisc into the unit. It may
additionalmore problems.If resistance
is felt, remove the MiniDisc and try re-
loading it.
Notes:
●Whenever any button is pressed, the
remote control display will light for ap-
proximately 7 seconds.
●The REC button does not light.
