MDs (Mini Disc) let you digitally record and

play back music with high quality sound that

compares with the sound of CDs. Another

feature of MDs is track marking. The track

marking feature lets you quickly locate a

specific point or easily edit the recorded

tracks. However, depending on the source

you record, the recording method varies.

Also, the way the track numbers are recorded

differs depending on the source.

When the source you record from is:

• This system’s CD player

– The digital signal from the CD is recorded

as it is (digital recording*).

– Track numbers are automatically marked

as on the original CD.

• Other digital components

(e.g., a DAT deck)

– The digital signal is converted to an analog

signal once, then re-converted to a digital

signal and recorded** (analog recording).

– A track number is marked at the beginning

of a recording, but when you turn on the

Level Sync function (see page 26), track

numbers are automatically marked in sync

with the level of the input signal.

Before you start

recording

continued

DHCMD5 3-858-047-12.EN (1)

Recording on an MD

manually

The system automatically locates the last

recorded portion and starts recording from

that point.

• This unit’s tuner and other analog

components

(e.g., a tape deck)

– The analog signal is converted to digital

and recorded (analog recording).

– A track number is marked at the beginning

of a recording, but when you turn on the

Level Sync function (see page 26), track

numbers are automatically marked in sync

with the level of the input signal.

* For details on limitations of digital recording, see

page 42.

**This signal conversion happens because this unit

does not have a digital input.

Note on the track number of an MD

On an MD, the track number (track sequence), track

start and end point information, etc., are recorded in

the TOC* area independent of the sound

information. You can edit recorded tracks quickly

by modifying the TOC information.

* TOC: Table Of Contents.

Before you start recording

service that allows radio stations to send

additional information along with the regular

programme signal. This tuner offers

convenient RDS features, such as monitoring

and locating a station by programme type.

RDS is available only on FM stations*.

Note

RDS may not work properly if the station you are

tuned to is not transmitting the RDS signal properly

or if the signal strength is weak.

* Not all FM stations provide RDS service, nor do

they provide the same types of services. If you are

not familiar with the RDS system, check with your

local radio stations for details on RDS services in

your area.

Receiving RDS broadcasts

Simply select a station from the FM

band.

When you tune in a station that provides

Additional Information

Precautions

On the speaker system

Although this speaker system is magnetically

shielded, there may be cases where the picture on

some TV sets becomes magnetically distorted. In

such a case, turn off the power of the TV set/

personal computer set once, and after 15 to 30

minutes turn it on again.

When there seems to be no improvement, locate

the speaker system further away from the TV set.

Furthermore, be sure not to place objects in which

magnets are attached or used near the TV set, such

as audio racks, TV stands, toys etc. These may

cause magnetic distortion to the picture due to their

interaction with the system.

Protecting a recorded MD

To record-protect an MD, slide open the tab at the

side of the MD so the tab is concealed.

In this position, the MD cannot be recorded. To

record on the MD, slide close the tab.

On operating voltage

Before operating the system, check that the

operating voltage of your system is identical with

the voltage of your local power supply.

On safety

• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power

source (mains) as long as it is connected to the

wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned

off.

• Unplug the system from the wall outlet (mains) if

it is not to be used for an extended period of time.

To disconnect the cord (mains lead), pull it out by

the plug. Never pull the cord itself.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the

component, unplug the stereo system and have

the component checked by qualified personnel

before operating it any further.

• The mains lead must be changed only at a

qualified service shop.

On placement

• Place the stereo system in a location with adequate

ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the stereo

system.

• Do not place the unit in an inclined position.

• Do not place the unit in locations where it is;

– Extremely hot or cold

– Dusty or dirty

– Very humid

– Vibrating

– Subject to direct sunlight.

On operation

• If the stereo system is brought directly from a cold

to a warm location , or is placed in a very damp

room, moisture may condense on the lens inside

the CD player or the MD deck. Should this occur,

the system will not operate properly. Remove the

CD or MD and leave the system turned on for

about an hour until the moisture evaporates.

• When you move the system, take out the disc.

If you have any questions or problems concerning

your stereo system, please consult your nearest

Sony dealer.

System limitations of

MDs

The recording system in your MD deck has

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.

“DISC FULL” lights up before the

MD has reached the maximum

recording time (60 or 74 minutes)

When 255 tracks have been recorded on the MD,

“DISC FULL” lights up regardless of the total

recorded time. More than 255 tracks cannot be

recorded on the MD. To continue recording, erase

unnecessary tracks or use another recordable MD.

“DISC FULL” lights up before the

maximum number of tracks (255)

is reached

Fluctuations in emphasis within tracks are

sometimes interpreted as track intervals, increasing

the track count and causing “DISC FULL” to light

up.

The remaining recording time

does not increase even after

erasing numerous short tracks

Tracks shorter than 12 seconds long are not counted,

so erasing them may not increase the recording

time.

Some tracks cannot be combined

with others

Track combination may become impossible when

tracks are shorter than 12 seconds long.

The total recorded time and the

remaining time on the MD may

not reach the maximum recording

time (60 or 74 minutes)

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.

Notes on MDs

• Do not open the shutter to expose the MD. Close

the shutter immediately if the shutter opens.

• Wipe the disc cartridge with a dry cloth to remove

dirt.

•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.

Notes on CDs

• Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth.

Wipe the CD from the center out.

• Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner,

commercially available cleaners or anti-static

spray intended for vinyl LPs.

•Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat

sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car

parked in direct sunlight.

Cleaning the cabinet

Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with mild

detergent solution.

Precautions (continued)

Shutter

DHCMD5 3-858-047-12.EN (1)

The sound may drop-out while

searching the edited tracks

Tracks created through editing may exhibit sound

dropout during searching because high-speed

playback takes time to search for the position on the

disc when the tracks are scattered on the disc.

Track numbers cannot be marked

When “LEVELSYNC ON” (page 26) is displayed

during analog recording, the track numbers may not

be marked at the beginning of the track:

• if the input signal is below a certain fixed level for

less than two seconds

• if the input signal is below a certain fixed level for

more than two seconds in the middle of the track.

Guide to the Serial Copy

Management System

Digital audio components, such as CDs, MDs, and

DATs let you copy music easily with high quality,

for these digital products process music as a digital

signal.

To protect the copyrighted music programs, this

unit uses the Serial Copy Management System that

allows you to make only a single copy of a recorded

digital source through digital-to-digital

connections.

You can make only a first generation copy*

through a digital-to-digital connection.

For example:

1 You can make a copy of a commercially available

digital sound programme (e.g., a CD and an MD),

but you cannot make a second copy from the first-

generation copy.

2 You can make a copy of a digital signal from a

digitally recorded analog sound programme (e.g.,

an analog record and a music cassette tape) or

from a digital satellite broadcast programme, but

you cannot make a second copy.

* A first-generation copy means a digital recording

of a digital signal made on digital audio

equipment. For example, if you record from this

unit’s CD player to this MD deck, you’d make a

first-generation copy.

Notes

• This copy management system doesn’t apply

when you make a recording through analog-to-

analog connections.

• Since this unit supports 44.1 kHz sampling

frequency only, you cannot make a digital

recording of a digital satellite broadcast

programme, whose sampling frequency is 32 kHz

or 48 kHz. To make a digital recording, you need

an MD deck or a DAT deck that supports these

frequencies. You can also make a second-

generation copy.
