Additional information

On heat build-up

Precautions

On safety
Do not put any foreign objects in the DC IN 3V jack. Do not carry or store the dry battery in the same place with metallic objects such as coins, key rings, or necklaces. This may cause a short-circuit and the generation of heat. Incorrect battery usage may cause the battery fluid to leak or battery to burst. To prevent such accidents, make sure the battery is installed with the + and poles oriented correctly. If a battery leak should develop, carefully and thoroughly wipe away the battery fluid in the battery compartment before inserting a new battery. If you will not use the recorder for a long time, be sure to remove the dry battery.
Heat may build up in the recorder if it is used for an extended period of time. This, however, is not a malfunction.

On mechanical noise

The recorder emits mechanical noise while operating, which is caused by the power-saving system of the recorder. This is not a malfunction.

On installation

Never use the recorder where it will be subjected to extremes of light, temperature, moisture or vibration. Never wrap the recorder in anything when it is being used with the AC power adaptor. Heat build-up in the recorder may cause malfunction or damage.
On the MiniDisc cartridge On power sources
Use LR6 (size AA) batteries, house current, or car battery. The recorder is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the recorder itself has been turned off. If you are not going to use this recorder for a long time, be sure to disconnect the power supply (the AC power adaptor, dry battery, or car battery cord). To remove the AC power adaptor from the wall outlet, grasp the adaptor plug itself; never pull the cord. Do not touch the internal disc directly. Forcing the shutter open may damage the internal disc. When transporting a MiniDisc, keep it in its case. Do not place the cartridge where it will be subjected to light, temperature, moisture or dust. Do not affix the label outside of the specified area on the MD. Make sure the label is placed within the recessed space on the disc.
On the headphones/earphones

Road safety

Do not use headphones/earphones while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle. This may lead to a traffic accident and is illegal in many areas. It can also be potentially dangerous to play your recorder at high volumes while walking, especially at pedestrian crossings. You should exercise extreme caution or discontinue using the recorder in potentially hazardous situations.

On Handling

Do not drop or bump the recorder. This may cause the recorder to malfunction. Do not pull headphones/earphones cords. Do not place the recorder in the following places: An extremely hot place A place exposed to direct sunlight or near a heater In a car with the windows rolled up (especially in the summer) In a damp place such as a bathroom Near a source of electromagnetic fields such as a magnet, speaker, or TV In a dusty place

Preventing hearing damage
Avoid using headphones/earphones at high volumes. Hearing experts advise against continuous, loud and extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use.

Caring for others

Keep the volume at a moderate level. This will allow you to hear outside sounds and to be considerate of the people around you.

To protect a recorded MD

To record-protect an MD, slide open the tab at the side of the MD. In this position, the MD cannot be recorded. To record again, slide the tab back so the tab is visible.

On cleaning

After wiping the recorder casing with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water, wipe it again with a dry cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzene as this may mar the finish on the casing. Wipe the disc cartridge with a dry cloth to remove dirt. Dust on the lens may prevent the unit from operating properly. Be sure to close the disc compartment lid after inserting or ejecting an MD. To maintain good sound quality, use a soft cloth to clean the plugs of the headphones/ earphones. A dirty plug may cause noise or intermittent breaks in the sound during playback. Clean the terminals periodically with a cotton swab or a soft cloth as illustrated.

Note on hard disk drive space
120 MB or more free space on the hard disk drive is required. If your computer does not have enough space, the software will not be properly installed. The required free space differs according to the version of your Windows OS, or the amount of audio files that you handle.
Notes on system suspend/hibernation mode
If the computer changes to system suspend/hibernation mode during the recording of a CD or the checking in/out of a data file, the audio data may be lost or the computer may not wake up properly. The computer suspend/hibernation function should therefore be turned off. If you change the media while the computer is in system suspend/hibernation mode, audio data may be lost after the computer wakes up. If the computer changes to system suspend/hibernation mode, the computer may not recognize the Net MD when it wakes up. If this happens, disconnect the dedicated USB cable and reconnect it again.

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). Returning checked-out music files to the same computer is to check in. (You cannot move checked-out music files to another computer.) You can check out a music file, check it back in, and then check it out again an infinite number of times. The SDMI rules provide that up to four copies of a music file can be checked out at one time. OpenMG employs a method whereby three copies of a song can be checked out simultaneously, while the fourth copy is maintained as a master on your PC. Electronic Music Distribution (EMD) service* EMD is a website that distributes music files which are available for purchase.
The use of EMD services requires installation of player software on your computer. Audio files should be downloaded in a format that is supported by the SonicStage software (such as Label Gate MQ format). For details on EMD services support by SonicStage, please contact to the respective companies. * EMD may not be available in certain areas of the world.
MP3 MP3, which stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer3, is a standard for audio file compression determined by the Motion Picture Experts Group, an ISO (International Organization for Standardization) working group. It enables compression of audio files to about 1/10 of the data size of a standard compact disc. Since the MP3 encoding algorithm is disclosed, there are various encoders/decoders that are compliant with this standard, including freeware that is available for no charge. The MP3 standard is therefore widely used in the computer field. Music Drive Music Drive is a music database for managing audio data on a computer. In Music Drive, audio files can be managed along with such information as artist names, track names, and CD jacket images, or can be combined and categorized in different playlists. OpenMG Copyright protection technology for the import and management of musical content from distribution services or CDs. By using software that are compliant with OpenMG, audio contents can be encrypted before storage on a hard disk drive to allow playback of those audio files on that computer.
