Additional information

On the headphones/earphones

Precautions

On safety
Do not put any foreign objects in the DC IN 6V jack.

Road safety

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

On power sources

Use house current or rechargeable battery. For use in your house: For the supplied battery
charging stand, use the AC power adaptor supplied with this recorder. Do not use any other AC power adaptor since it may cause the recorder to malfunction.

Polarity of the plug

Preventing hearing damage
Avoid using headphones/earphones at high volume. Hearing experts advise against continuous, loud and extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use.
Connect the AC power adaptor to an easily
accessible AC outlet. Should you notice an abnormality in the AC power adaptor, disconnect it from the AC outlet immediately. 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 (AC power adaptor or rechargeable battery). To remove the AC power adaptor from the wall outlet, grasp the adaptor plug itself; never pull the cord.

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.
The supplied remote control is designed for use with this recorder only. The recorder cannot be operated with a remote control that was supplied with another device.

On charging

The supplied battery charging stand can be
used only with this recorder. Any other models cannot be charged. Do not use the supplied battery charging stand to charge any other battery beside the supplied one or the one designated for it (LIP-4WM). Be sure to use the supplied AC power adaptor. Charge the rechargeable battery at a temperature of +5 C (+41 F) to +35 C (+95 F). The charging time will vary according to the surrounding temperature. (If the surrounding temperature is low, the required charging time will be longer. This is a characteristic of the lithium-ion battery.) If you do not use the recorder for a long time, remove the rechargeable battery from the recorder and keep it in the cool, dry place. To prevent degradation of the rechargeable battery, make sure not to store the rechargeable battery when it is either completely discharged or fully charged.

On heat build-up

Heat may build up in the recorder if it is used for an extended period of time. This, however, is not a malfunction.

On installation

If you use the recorder at a place subject to
static or electrical noise, the recording may not be properly done or the recorded data may be lost. 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.
The battery charging stand and the recorder
may become hot during the charging procedure; this, however poses no danger. Because of the batterys characteristics, the capacity of the rechargeable battery may be smaller than normal when it is used for the first time or after a long period of disuse. In this case, charge and discharge the battery several times. The normal battery life will be restored. If the capacity of the rechargeable battery drops to half the normal amount, replace with the new one. If the recorder will be unused for a long time, remove the rechargeable battery, remove the recorder from the battery charging stand and remove the AC power adaptor from the wall outlet.

Explanations

About Hi-MD
Hi-MD is a new MiniDisc format. Incorporating the new ATRAC3plus audio compression technology, Hi-MD is a new recording format that delivers longer recording times than standard MD discs. Hi-MD discs can also be used as a computer storage medium for non-audio data such as text and images. For more details on Hi-MD, refer to the supplied flyer What you can do with the Hi-MD Walkman.

About ATRAC3plus

ATRAC3plus is an enhanced version of ATRAC3. Compared to ATRAC3 (used in LP2 and LP4 mode of the recorder), which attains a compression ratio 10 times higher than that of a CD, ATRAC3plus (used in Hi-SP and Hi-LP mode of the recorder) achieves a higher compression ratio that is 20 times higher than that of a CD, but with no loss in sound quality.

Hi-MD mode and MD mode

This recorder has two operation modes, Hi-MD mode and MD mode that are automatically recognized whenever a disc is inserted. If you insert a blank disc, the recorder allows you to specify either of these operation modes for disc recording (except in the case of Hi-MD discs that support HiMD mode only). When using a blank disc, set the Disc Mode setting to select either Hi-MD or MD.

About Linear PCM

Linear PCM is a digital, non-compressed audio coding system. You can enjoy high-quality sound equal to that of CDs by recording in this mode.

The meaning of no sound

No sound describes a recorder condition in which the input level is about 4.8 mV during analog input or less than 89 dB during optical (digital) input (with 0 dB as full bit (the maximum recordable level for a MiniDisc)).

About System File

The system file is space on the disc that is used to store information other than audio files; for instance, track numbers. If the MiniDisc were a book, the system file would correspond with the index or table of contents. The recorder rewrites the system file whenever an operation such as recording, adding or deleting track marks, or moving tracks has been done. (SYSTEM FILE WRITING appears in the display when the recorder is rewriting the system file.) While the recorder is writing disc information, make sure not to move or jog the recorder or disconnect the power source as this may cause the information to be incorrectly recorded or the disc contents to be lost.
