When recording an analog source (such as an LP 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.

The REC * indicators light up. “REC Standby” and the amount of time available for recording flash alternately in the display. If you selected a track number or paused playback (in step 3) to record over a previous recording “OverWrite OK?” appears in the display. To confirm, press ENTER. This operation will erase the selected track number (or point) and all subsequent material. To cancel, press CANCEL (or &). Adjust the recording level corresponding to the audio input you selected in step 2. Refer to "Adjusting Recording Levels" on this page for more details. Note When recording from a digital source that has a digital output (volume) control, set the output level (volume) to “MAX”. Recording may not be possible at low output levels (when the digital volume is turned down). 5 Start playing the program source to be recorded. Adjusting Recording Levels Setting the digital volume level The volume level of digital audio sources is often similar, however, level differences may be quite obvious between different digital audio formats and even between one recording and another. To maintain a consistent volume level in MD recordings, it is possible to change the volume of the input digital signal. To select the digital signal to be recorded or monitored, press INPUT repeatedly until the appropriate digital input indicator (DIGITAL OPT. 1 or DIGITAL OPT. 2) appears in the display. During record or record pause mode, turning DIGITAL REC LEVEL adjusts the volume of the digital signal. The digital volume can be adjusted up to +12 dB and down to a minimum (MIN) level from the default volume of 0 dB, the level of the input digital signal. To set the volume level, play the digital source to be recorded and adjust DIGITAL REC LEVEL so that highest peak causes the 0 dB level indicators to flicker. The OVER indicators should not light. 6 Press #/* (PLAY # on the remote) to start L dB – 00 – 60 R recording. The TOC indicator lights up. When the TOC indicator is lit, this means that the TOC information has not yet been written to the disc. After recording is complete, the TOC data is automatically written to the disc. To stop Press & (STOP & on the remote). To pause Press #/* (PAUSE * on the remote). Press again to resume recording. To eject the MD Press ) EJECT. If the power to this unit is turned off 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. 14 –30 –10 –6 4 – 2 –1 0 OVER Should not light If recording is stopped, the digital recording level is restored to the default volume of 0 dB. Notes • When DIGITAL REC LEVEL is turned, the digital volume level is adjusted in 0.5 dB steps between +12 dB and –20 dB, 1 dB steps from –20 dB to –30 dB, 2 dB steps from –30 dB to –40 dB, followed by –44 dB, –48 dB, –54 dB, –62 dB and MIN. • Although some sources can be recorded with lower peak levels, setting the peak levels too low may degrade the quality of the recording. • The digital volume cannot be adjusted while a track title is being entered. Setting the analog recording level Press INPUT repeatedly until the ANALOG indicator appears in the display, and press REC (REC ‡ on the remote) to put this unit in the record pause or monitor out mode. For best results, play the loudest passage of the source to be recorded and watch the recording level meter in the display. Adjust ANALOG REC LEVEL so that the highest peak causes the 0 dB level indicators to flicker. The OVER indicators should not light.  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 on the remote repeatedly to select automatic (MANUAL indicator out) or manual (MANUAL indicator lit) marking. TIME RESCUE RECORDING The Time Rescue (TIME) recording function allows you to start recording six seconds before you press record. During record pause mode, the MD recorder monitors the input signal and continuously maintains a six second memory “cache”. Therefore, you can record a song that just started without cutting off the beginning. You may find this function useful when recording live broadcasts, or when you want to start recording from the beginning of a song without recording lots of commercials (etc.). MANUAL When recording analog signals 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. 4 TITLE CHAR. NUMBER SEARCH !

If the power is turned on (by pressing POWER, plugging in the power cord, etc.) when TIMER is set to PLAY, the MD recorder will start to play and may cause a sudden output at high volume.  English MD SYSTEM LIMITATIONS 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 (60 or 74 minutes) has been reached Once 255 tracks have been recorded on one MD, “Can’t REC” is displayed regardless of the total recorded time. More than 255 tracks cannot be recorded on one MD. To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks, combine tracks to reduce the total number of tracks, or use another recordable MD. “Disc 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 “Disc 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. 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. 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 varies according to the number of channels being recorded. For a 2 channel (stereo) recording, a single unit may not consist of less than 10 seconds of sound. For one channel (mono) recording, a single unit may not consist of less than 20 seconds of 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. The total recorded time and the remaining time on the MD do not total to the maximum recording time • Recording is done in minimum units of 2 seconds each, no matter how short the material. The contents recorded may thus be shorter than the maximum recording capacity. Disc space may also be further reduced by scratches. • 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. If there is a 1 minute blank space and a 2 minute blank space, the remaining time display will be “2” minutes. If you then record 1 minute and 30 seconds of the 2 minute blank, the remaining time display will become “1” minute. 25  NOTES REGARDING THE REMOTE CONTROL COPY PROTECTION (SCMS) 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 first-generation copies only. Therefore, an MD recorded through a digital input cannot be used as a source for making another digital recording. However, subsequent recordings can be made from the first-generation copy by using the analog input/output jacks. There are three general rules that apply to this unit. Remote Control Operation Range 6m 30° Rule 1 You can record from digital program sources (CDs, DATs or pre-mastered MDs) onto a DAT tape or recordable MD via the digital input jack on a DAT or MD recorder. You cannot, however, record from this recorded DAT tape or MD to another DAT tape or recordable MD via a digital input jack. Rule 2 You can record a digital signal input from a digital satellite broadcast onto a DAT tape or recordable MD via the digital input jack on the DAT or MD recorder. (This unit is equipped with a sampling rate converter that allows you to make digital recordings from 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz digital program sources). If the broadcast does not contain a copyright protection code, you can then record the contents of this recorded DAT tape or MD (first-generation) onto another DAT tape or recordable MD via a digital input jack on the DAT or MD recorder to create a second generation digital copy (these copies may also be copied digitally). Note, however, that if the broadcast contains a copy protection code, secondgeneration digital copying will not be possible. Rule 3 You can record a DAT tape or MD recorded via the DAT or MD recorder’s analog input jack onto another DAT tape or MD via the DAT or MD recorder’s digital output jack. You cannot, however, make a second-generation DAT tape or MD copy via the DAT or MD recorder’s digital output jack. 30° Notes • There should be no large obstacles between the remote control and the remote sensor on the main unit. • Strong light (especially from an inverter type fluorescent lamp) shining directly on the remote sensor may prevent proper operation. In such cases, reposition the main unit to avoid direct light. Battery Installation Battery replacement When you notice a decrease in the operating range of the remote control, replace both batteries with new ones. Notes • Use only AA, R6, UM-3 batteries for replacement. • Be sure to insert the batteries with correct polarity (as illustrated on 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 leaking material or letting it come into contact with clothing, etc. Clean the battery compartment thoroughly before installing new batteries. 26  If your MD recorder fails to operate normally, check the following table. It lists common operating errors and simple measures which you can take to correct the problem. If it cannot be corrected, or the symptom is not listed, disconnect the recorder’s power cord and contact your authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center for help. Symptom Cause Remedy The unit does not respond to operations. • MD is dirty or damaged. • MD is damaged (“UTOC ERR appears in the display). • Replace the current disc with a new one. It happens that this unit does not work normally. • There is an influence of strong external noise (lightning, excessive static electricity, etc.) or a misoperation was performed while using this unit. • Turn the power off and disconnect the AC power from the AC outlet. After about 30 seconds have passed, connect the power and try again. Playback is not possible. • Moisture is on the laser pickup. • Leave the unit switched ON and wait 20 to 30 minutes for the moisture to evaporate before trying to play a disc. • Press POWER to turn the power on. • Reload the disc with the label side facing up, and the arrow pointing toward the disc insertion slot. • Insert a recorded MD. • The power is OFF. • The disc has been loaded incorrectly. • An unrecorded (blank) MD was loaded (“Blank Disc” appears in the display) . Recording is not possible. • The disc is record protected (“Protected” appears in the display). • A pre-mastered MD is loaded (“Playback MD” appears in the display). • The source is not connected correctly. • The input setting is incorrect. • The recording level is too low. • The digital output level of the digital source is too low. • There is not enough blank space left on the MD. • If the power cord was unplugged or there was a power outage during recording, that recording may be lost. • Slide the record-protect tab to the closed position. • Load a recordable MD. • Check all connections again. • Press INPUT repeatedly to select the correct input jacks. • Turn REC LEVEL to adjust the recording level. • Set the digital output level of the digital source to “MAX”. • Load a recordable MD with fewer recorded tracks, or erase unnecessary tracks from the current MD. • If recording was interrupted, try recording again starting from the beginning. The MD cannot be removed when partially inserted. • The carriage lock function has activated. • Insert the MD completely, then press ) EJECT to eject it. Excessive noise. • The unit is too close to the television or other component. • Place the unit farther away from the television or other component. The remote control does not operate. • The batteries are exhausted. • The remote control transmitter is operated from an incorrect distance or angle. • The remote control sensor is located in strong direct light. • Replace the batteries. • Operate the remote from less than 6 meters (about 20 feet) and within 30° on either side of the sensor. • Place the unit away from the strong light. To clean the cabinet Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild detergent solution. Care of MDs • Do not expose the MD to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as there can be a considerable rise in temperature inside the car. • Periodically remove dust and debris from the cartridge surface by wiping it with a dry cloth. • Because the MD itself is housed in a cartridge, you can handle it normally without being concerned about dirt or fingerprints. However, malfunctioning may result if the cartridge itself is dirty or warped. Do not open the shutter on the MD cartridge Trying to force the shutter open will damage the shutter. 27 English TROUBLESHOOTING  DISPLAY MESSAGES Can’t Copy Digital recording cannot be performed.
