Then peel the sheet off with the tape. 5 Notes • Use only AA, R6, UM-3 batteries for replacement. • Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration inside the battery compartment.) • Remove the batteries if the remote control will not be used for an extended period of time. • If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately. Avoid touching the leaked material or letting it come in contact with clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries. Notes • There should be no large obstacles between the remote control and the main unit. • If the remote control sensor is directly illuminated by strong lighting (especially an inverter type of fluorescent lamp, etc.), it might cause the remote control not to work correctly. In this case, reposition the main unit to avoid direct lighting. 9 If you find that the remote control must be used closer to the main unit than usual, the batteries are weak. Replace batteries with new ones. Note • Do not scratch the remote control surface when peeling the sheet off. 5 0103MDXE300(M).1-8.E 5 02.5.17, 10:53 AM  GETTING STARTED System connections Never plug the AC power cord to the wall outlet until all connections are completed. • • • • Connections should be made to the correct input/output jacks on the other component.

Please check the copyright laws in your country to record from records, compact discs, radio, etc. Recording of copyright material may infringe copyright laws. This unit allows you to make recordings from a wide variety of program sources (both analog and digital). When recording an analog source (such as an FM broadcast or cassette) this unit converts the analog signals to a 44.1 kHz digital signal before recording them onto the MD. When recording a digital source, this unit converts the digital signals to 44.1 kHz for recording onto the MD. However, if you are recording a 44.1 kHz source signal (such as a CD) there is no conversion. This unit can record 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz digital signals.

If you press the button with an MD in this unit, the recording begins automatically. Track marking When making a recording, you can choose either automatic or manual marking. This feature operates somewhat differently for analog and digital signals. See below for details. Press M-MARK repeatedly to select automatic (MANUAL indicator is not lit) or manual (MANUAL indicator lit) marking. Press &. To eject the MD Press Setting the analog recording level When recording analog signals . If the power cord is disconnected while making a recording, the TOC data cannot be correctly written to the disc and the recorded data will be erased. TOC writing may be impossible (or track number marking may not perform as expected) when recording a damaged CD or a broadcast source with interference. Adjusting recording levels Auto : Track numbers are written in synchronization with the input level of the signal being recorded. During recording, if no sound is detected for more than 1.5 seconds, the recorder interprets this to be a gap between two tracks. When the source signal is detected again, a track number is automatically written. Manual : One track number is written automatically when you start recording, but none are written during recording. To mark a track number, press M-MARK at the desired position while recording. Note Setting the digital recording level • When using manual marking, the marks must be set at least 4 seconds apart. The digital recording level is set by default to 0 dB, the level of the input source. Normally, it is not necessary to adjust this level. However, because of the variance in levels between different digital formats and sources, it is possible to adjust the recording level of the digital signal. The digital level can be adjusted up to +12 dB and down to a minimum (MIN) level. Adjust DIGITAL REC LEVEL so that the highest peak causes the 0 dB level indicators to flicker. Do not cause the OVER indicator to light. Once recording is stopped, the digital recording level returns to the default level of 0 dB. When recording digital signals 14 0105MDXE300(M).13-16.E 14 Track numbers are written in the same positions as the original source (CD, etc.) with either automatic or manual marking. To add additional track numbers, set M-MARK to MANUAL and press M-MARK at the desired position while recording. Notes • When recording is paused, the portion recorded up to the pause is counted as an individual track. When recording is resumed, a new track number is created. • During synchronized recording, manual track marking is not possible. 02.5.17, 10:54 AM  RECORDING The synchronized recording function lets you set this unit to start recording automatically when a sound signal is input.

Titles may consist of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols for a maximum of up to 250 characters for each title.  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION MD recorder system notes The recording system in your MD recorder is radically different from those used in cassette and DAT decks and is characterized by the limitations described below. Note, however, that these limitations are inherent to the MD recording system and are not a result of mechanical trouble. “Can’t REC!” is displayed before the maximum recording time has been reached Once 255 tracks have been recorded on one MD, “Can’t REC” is displayed regardless of the total recorded time. “TOC Full” is displayed before the maximum number of tracks (255) have been recorded During automatic track marking, fluctuations in emphasis within songs may be interpreted as song intervals, increasing the total number of tracks and causing “TOC Full” to be displayed. The remaining recording time does not increase even after erasing numerous short tracks Tracks under 12 seconds in length are not counted and so erasing them may not lead to an increase in the recording time. “TOC Reading” is displayed continuously The “TOC Reading” display lasts longer than normal when a brand new (blank) disc is inserted. The total recorded time and the remaining time on the MD do not total to the maximum recording time It is not possible to erase part of a track using the A-B ERASE function This unit organizes the audio data in sound groups and clusters. The minimum size of these units may not consist of less than 10 seconds of stereo sound. Limitations when recording over an existing track • The correct remaining recording time may not be displayed. • You may find it impossible to record over a track if that track has been recorded over several times already. If this happens, erase the track using the ERASE function. • The remaining recording time may be shortened out of proportion to the total recorded time. • Recording over a track to eliminate noise is not recommended since this may shorten the duration of the track. • You may find it impossible to label a track while recording over another track. The correct recorded/playing time may not be displayed during playback of MDs recorded in monaural. SCMS - Serial Copy Management System As a digital audio component, this MD recorder conforms with the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) standards. The Serial Copy Management System restricts copies made by recording digital signals to firstgeneration copies only. Therefore, an MD recorded through a digital input cannot be used as a source for making another digital recording. • Recording is done in minimum units of 2 seconds each, no matter how short the material. • This unit displays the length of the largest continuous blank area as the remaining time. Therefore, if there are several separate blank spaces, the remaining time will only display a time equivalent to the largest continuous blank space. Tracks created through editing may exhibit sound dropout during search operations. Track numbers are not recorded correctly Incorrect assignment or recording of track numbers may result when CD tracks are divided into several smaller tracks during digital recording. 22 0107MDXE300(M).21-25.E 22 02.5.17, 10:54 AM  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Can’t copy Digital recording cannot be performed.
