MiniDisc Player User Manual

● 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
using an optical pickup.
(Recording and editing are not pos-
sible.)
There will only
be a shutter on
one side (the back).
● 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.
Shutters can be
seen on both
sides of this
type of disc.
● When making 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 failure occurs,
the power source will switch over to the
rechargeable battery automatically.
● When using the rechargeable battery
or the alkaline batteries, if the head-
phones volume level is set to “0", the
battery consumption will be less than
when listening to the recording while it
is being made.
● Insert each plug firmly. If the connec-
tions are poor, the recording may not
be made properly. Always keep the
plugs clean. If the plugs are dirty,
electrical noise may be recorded.
Notes:
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
the accidental erase prevention tab
back to its original position.
