Precautions for performing long-hour stereo recording After having made long-hour stereo recordings on this unit, pay attention to the following: Songs (tracks) recorded in 2 times or 4 times longhour recording mode can only be played back on the equipment provided with MDLP, compatible with a long-hour stereo recording function; otherwise, LP: is displayed before a title and playback proceeds without sounds. When editing songs (tracks) on an MD, you cannot join (JOIN) songs (tracks) recorded in different recording length modes (SP/LP2/LP4).
More about MDLP You cannot make a long-hour monaural recording using this unit. Sound quality will decrease as the recording length mode changes to LP2 (little) and LP4 (much). To obtain the best sound quality, it is recommended to use the SP mode when recording.
About High-Speed Recording
The time for high-speed recording is half as long as the time for normal speed recording. There are some restrictions to observe for high-speed recording (exceeding normal speed) to protect copyrights. (HCMS: see page 48.) This unit is so designed that a song (track) recorded from a CD using high-speed recording cannot be re-recorded until 74 minutes elapse after the previous recording started. If you try to re-record the same song (track) within the 74 minutes, recording is canceled and HCMS CAN NOT COPY appears in the main display as a warning. The remaining time required until re-recording will then appear in the main display. If this happens, press 7 after the remaining time appears. CD playback stops. REMEMBER if you are trying to record a program including the same song (track) twice using high-speed recording, recording will stop at the beginning of the 2nd recording of the same song (track). (HCMS CAN NOT COPY will appear in the main display.)
During high-speed recording You cannot listen to any source, and therefore, cannot adjust the volume level. (CAN NOT LISTEN will appear if you try to do.)

EN38-40.UX-A70MDR[B]_f 38 00.12.4, 10:59 AM
Assigning the Disc Title and Track Title
You can assign a name to each MD and to each track using alphabetic characters (uppercase and lowercase), symbols and numerals. Once a title is assigned, it is displayed for your confirmation. You cannot edit titles composed of more than 64 characters.
About the number of characters inputted for an MD The total number of characters that can be input for an MD is 1792. The maximum number that can be input for a disc title is 64, and for each track title, 61. (However, the actual number you can input may be slightly less than this maximum numbers due to the MD limitations see page 48) A space can be counted as one character. When the stereo long-hour recording (LP2 or LP4, see page 30) method is used for recording, the maximum number you can input for a track title automatically reduced since LP: and a space are automatically added to the beginning of the track title. Consequently this reduces the total number of characters you can input for an MD. Example: You can input up to 10 characters for each track if an MD is composed of 120 tracks recorded using the stereo long-hour recording method.

Maintenance

To get the best performance of the unit, keep your discs and mechanism clean.

General Notes

In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your CDs, MDs and the mechanism clean. Store CDs and MDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on shelves. Keep the CD trays, and the MD loading slot cover closed when not in use.

Handling MDs

Do not open the shutter. - The shutter is locked so that it will not open. Trying to force it open will break the MD. If the shutter opens accidentally, close it again quickly without touching the MD inside. Do not place MDs in the following places: - High temperature areas such as in direct sunlight or inside a car. - High humidity areas, e.g. in a bathroom. - On a beach or sandy area. Clean MDs regularly. - If dust or dirt gets on cartridge, wipe it off with a soft dry cloth.

Handling CDs

Remove the CD from its case by holding it at the edge while pressing the center hole lightly. Do not touch the shiny surface of the disc, or bend the CD. Put the CD back in its case after use to prevent warping.
Be careful not to scratch the surface of the CD when placing it back in its case. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes, and moisture.

Cleaning the unit

Stains on the unit Should be wiped off with a soft cloth. If the unit is heavily stained, wipe it with a cloth soaked in waterdiluted neutral detergent and wrung well, then wipe clean with a dry cloth. Since the unit may deteriorate in quality, become damaged or get its paint peeled off, be careful about the followings. - DO NOT wipe it with a hard cloth. - DO NOT wipe it strong. - DO NOT wipe it with thinner or benzine. - DO NOT apply any volatile substance such as insecticides to it. - DO NOT allow any rubber or plastic to remain in contact with it for a long time.

To clean the CD Wipe the CD with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.

Additional Information

MD Disc Types
There are two types of MDs: Premastered (prerecorded) and Recordable (blank). Premastered MDs Premastered MDs, which have been recorded at music studio, can be played back like regular CDs. On an MD of this type, data is recorded as the presence or absence of tiny pits. A laser beam focuses on the pits on the surface of the MD and reflects the detection back to the lens in the MD recorder. The MD recorder then decodes the signals and plays them back as music. This type of MD is called an optical disc. Recordable MDs Recordable MDs, which use magneto-optical technology, can be recorded and played back repeatedly. The laser inside the MD recorder applies heat to the MD, demagnetizing the magnetic layer of the MD for recording and playback. This type of MD is called an magnetic-optical disc.
ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding)/ATRAC3 (
The MD provides 80 minute recording and playback time, much more than an audio CD, but in a diameter of only 64 mm. This ability to store such a large amount of data is the result of ATRAC, an audio compression technique developed for MD. This technology cuts out faint sounds that would not be heard by the human beings. This technology, based on human sensitivity to sounds, reduces recorded data volume up to about one-fifth of the original data volume. Furthermore, this unit takes advantage of the latest ATRAC3 techniques, which can reduce the amount of data to record to one-10th or one-20th of the original data volume. This allows for 2 times or 4 times long-hour stereo recording on this unit.
UTOC (User Table Of Contents)
Found only on recordable MDs, this area contains sub-data (track number, recording data, etc.) which can be rewritten by the user. UTOC enables us to search tracks quickly and edit tracks on the MD.

Sound Skip Guard Memory
The biggest weakness of discs is their susceptibility to vibration. The Sound Skip Guard Memory has been developed to cope with this weakness. With this function, a few seconds of signals read by the optical read head from the MD are first stored in memory before being reproduced as audio signals. Thus, even when vibration or shock interrupts signals being read, these stored signals can continue to reproduce sounds for the few seconds. Thus, the user will enjoy uninterrupted music.
