Installation position

The MD recorder is very sensitive to vibrations. It should be installed in a position subject to as small vibration as possible.

Dust countermeasure

The shutter of the disc cartridge is permanently open while the disc is loaded in the set. Therefore, to prevent dust from penetrating inside the disc, take the disc out of the unit immediately after completion of recording or playback.

Maintenance Cleaning

Unplug this appliance from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, paint thinner, gasoline, or benzine, etc. to clean the cabinet. Use a clean dry cloth.
Caution against contact revitalizer
Do not use contact cleaners because it could cause a malfunction. Be specially careful against contact cleaners containing oil, for they may deform the plastic componente.

Unplug power cord

Reference notes Beware of condensation
When water vapor comes into contact with the surface of cold material, water drops are produced. If condensation occurs, correct operation may not be possible, or the unit may not function correctly. This is not a malfunction, however, the unit should be dried. (To do this, turn the POWER switch ON and leave the unit as it is for several hours.)

Recordable Mini Disc

This MD is a magneto-optical disc which can be recorded by magnetic field modulation. To record signals, laser light is irradiated from the bottom side of the magneto-optical disc and magnetic field is applied from the upper side of it.
Sound-skip prevention memory
During playback, this unit always stores signals in memory temporarily to prevent sound from being skipped in case of vibration. As a result, even when the data from the optical pickup is interrupted due to vibration, etc., the music will not be interrupted because the memory holds the data for several seconds.

During normal playback

Several sec. of data

Mini Disc

The sound data for several seconds is always stored during playback.

In case of vibration

When the readout from disc is interrupted momentarily due to vibration or shock, the reproduced sound from the memory will not be interrupted.
Reproduced sound Reproduced sound

Digital memory

High-efficiency coding technology ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding)
The Mini Disc has only a half the size of the Compact Disc but provides the same recording time. This is made possible by ATRAC*, a newly developed high-efficiency coding technology. The ATRAC compresses the music data to about 1/5 the amount of data which would be obtained with conventional technology, by cutting off the sound components which do not pose problem in audition even when they are not present. This has made it possible to record or play up to 74 minutes.
Sound does not affect the sensitivity of ears

Sensitivity of ears

Lowest and highest frequencies are not audible unless the sound has a certain level of volume.
Small sound near large sound
A small sound is not audible to human ears if it is produced at the same time as a large sound. (Masking effect)

Lowest frequencies

Highest frequencies

Monaural recording

This unit can record a longer period of sound in monaural (monaural long-play mode). In this mode, the recording time of the disc is about double that in the stereo mode. ^ The Mini Disc recorded in the monaural mode cannot be played with equipment which is not compatible with monaural playback.

D.R.I.V.E. (Dynamic Resolution Intensive Vector Enhancement) system
This unit incorporates the KENWOOD-original 20-bit REC D.R.I.V.E. system so that, not to mention the CD, analog sources such as the tuner and analog disk turntable can also be recorded with high-quality 20-bit recording. The digital inputs include both optical and coaxial input jacks so that high-quality recording is possible from any digital equipment. 1 The reproducibility of small signals is improved drastically for an excellent reproduction of fine reverberations of music. The excellence is also remarkable in the feeling of stability, presence, attack sound and bass reproduction. 2 The D.R.I.V.E. system maintains the correlation between the musical components of the input and output signals and does not cause any sound degradation from the principle.

MONITOR function

This unit can be used as a 24-bit D/A converter by setting the MONITOR key. Refer to MONITOR key.

Recording-related keys

AUTO/MANUAL key
This key is used to select whether track numbers are to be marked automatically during recording or they are to be marked manually during or after recording. The track numbers can be used to locate the beginning of a track during playback or programming tracks.
Select before starting recording.
If a no-sound input has lasted for 2 seconds during recording, the track number will be incremented automatically by 1. Usually, use this position for recording. Use this mode when recording all of the tracks in a CD. When recording music containing a continuous section with a very low level, for example when recording classic music, the track number may be incremented by 1 after such a section. In this case, cancel the track number later. It is recommended to use the MANUAL mode when recording such a kind of music. During digital recording of CD, the track number is incremented automatically by 1 according to the data contained in the digital information. But the no-sound blank is not detected. When the CD track number is increased during manual search of a CD, the track number recorded on the MD may sometimes fail to be incremented. A nosound track may sometimes created at the moment the played CD stops.
