ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 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.
Getting Playing Started CDs ADDITIONAL INFORMATION As a digital audio component, the unit conforms with the Serial Copy Manager System (SCMS) standards. The Serial Copy Manager 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.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Troubleshooting If the unit fails to operate normally, check the following points to determine whether the fault can be corrected by the simple measures suggested. If it cannot be corrected, or if the fault is not listed in the SYMPTOM column, disconnect the power cord and contact your authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center for help. When you repair the unit, the CRX-M5 may be needed. For details, contact and make sure your authorized YAMAHA dealer or service center.
