MiniDisc Player User Manual

■ Recording from a tuner or a CD (Manual recording)
● Manual recordings can be started and stopped as you like.
Recordings can not be made in the
following situations:
● Recording on a playback-only Mini-
Disc (commercially available music)
● If a Minidisc is protected against ac-
cidental erasure (page 9)
About the recording level:
● If the recording level is too low, the
playback sound volume may be too
low to hear well. If it is too high, the
playback sound may be greatly dis-
torted. Since digitally recorded CDs
have a large dynamic range (the
volume can vary tremendously from
very soft to extremely loud), do not
set the recording level any higher
than is necessary.
Precautions when recording:
● Do not jar or bump the main unit
while recording. Otherwise, the
recording may be unusable.
● Depending on the strength and type
of playback signal in the original
recording, the new recording may
not begin or pause at the correct
point when in the synchro mode. If
this happens, try making a manual
recording.
Precautions when inserting a Mini-
Disc:
● To insert a Minidisc, push on the
middle of the edge of the disc while
holding it parallel to the main unit.
● If any resistance is felt, do not try to
force the MiniDisc into the unit. It
may cause more problems. If resis-
tance is felt, remove the MiniDisc
and try reloading it.
Notes:
● Whenever any button is pressed, the
remote control display will light for
about 4 seconds.
● The REC button does not light.

by mode.
