Explanations Restrictions on the editing of tracks checked out from your computer This unit was designed so that editing functions (i.e., erasing tracks, adding track marks, and erasing track marks) do not function for tracks that have been checked out from your computer. This is to prevent the loss of check-in authorization by the checked-out tracks. To edit these tracks, first check them back into the computer, and then edit them on the computer.
Recording audio data to your computer You can record audio data to your computer from sources such as audio CDs and the Internet (page 50). Audio CDs Internet On the computer Listening You can listen to an audio CD in the CDROM drive of your computer, or audio data in the hard disk drive (page 57).
What is a Net MD? Net MD is a standard that enables the transfer of audio data from a computer to a MiniDisc device. To use this Net MD with your computer requires a software application called “SonicStage”. SonicStage software provides a database for managing audio data in the computer and functions for playing the audio data in various play modes, editing the data, and transferring the results to other devices and hardware connected to the computer.
Basic Operations Basic operational flow using the Net MD The following is the basic steps that you will take following the purchase of your recorder. Through these steps, you will prepare and set up your computer for use of your recorder as a Net MD. Do the following steps, and refer to the indicated pages for details. 1 Providing the required system environment. (page 45) 2 Installing the software onto your computer.

Transferring audio data from your computer to the Net MD (Check-out) Audio data stored on the Music Drive can be transferred to your Net MD. This process is called “Check-out”. The number of times a track can be checked out is restricted in this software for the protection of copyrights (page 71). Playlist Checking out audio files to the Net MD This section explains how to check out all audio files in a playlist*.
3 Click in the middle of the display and select the recording mode (page 52). Standard transfer mode: Data are transferred in the format of the original files. Maximum available transfer space: All data are transferred in LP4 mode. SP transfer mode: All data are converted and transferred in normal stereo mode. Select this mode if you listen to checked-out data on equipment that does not support MDLP mode. 4 If the list panel is not displayed, click . A playlist appears in the display.
Notes • Make sure not to disconnect the dedicated USB cable or power source until the operation has completed once the check-out (or check-in) operation has begun. Failure to do this may result in the loss of check-out authorization. Even if a check-out fails, the audio file may be considered checked out on the SonicStage side and the file’s check-out authorization may be reduced. • Make sure not to bump the Net MD after check-out has started.
Listening to an MD You can listen to an MD on the Net MD while it is connected to your computer. When disconnected from your computer, the Net MD can be used as an ordinary MiniDisc device. For details on Net MD operations, refer to the “Recorder Operation” section. Listening to an MD with the Net MD connected to the computer If you listen to an MD with the Net MD connected to the computer, be sure to listen with the Net MD itself (connecting to the headphones/earphones, speakers, etc.).

Information and explanations Net MD FAQ This section introduces frequently asked questions and answers on the Net MD. On the Net MD What is a “Net MD”? Net MD is a specification that allows audio data in a computer to be transferred to a MiniDisc through a USB cable. Till now, MiniDiscs could be used to record only analog sources (through a microphone or analog input) or PCM sources such as CDs. Recording audio files on a computer was impossible.
On copyright protection The OpenMG technology* allows you to enjoy digital music, while maintaining the copyrights of its holders. OpenMG Jukebox encrypts audio files in OpenMG format and stores them on the hard disk of your computer to prevent unauthorized distribution. * The copyright protection technology of this software conforms to SDMI (Secure Digital Music Initiative) specifications. This software places some restrictions on recording and playback to protect copyrights.
Restrictions on audio content High-quality digital audio content is widely available through music distribution services on the Internet. To protect the copyrights of its holders from unauthorized distribution, some audio content is distributed with certain restrictions on recording and playback. For example, the playback period or playback count for the data may be limited. In such cases, checking out of the audio contents may not be possible.
Glossary ATRAC3 ATRAC3, which stands for Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding3, is audio compression technology that satisfies the demand for high sound quality and high compression rates. The ATRAC3 compression rate is approximately 10 times higher than that of the Audio CD, resulting an increased data capacity for the media. “Check-In /Check-Out” Check-out is to transfer music files from a personal computer to an external device/media (such as a Net MD).
Playlist A playlist is like a container that can be used to hold and categorize files stored in Music Drive. For example, by making a “jazz” playlist and then putting your favorite jazz tracks into the playlist, you can play all of the tracks repeatedly or check them all out at the same time. Recording mode (Bit rate) This is a measure of data volume per second. The rate is expressed in bps (bits per second).
