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 ordinary MDs. 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.

key and 7. SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULT DISPLAY MODE This set uses the self-diagnostic function system in which if an error occurred during the recording or playing, the mechanism control block and the power supply control block in the microcomputer detect it and record its cause as history in the nonvolatile memory. By checking this history in the test mode, you can analyze a fault and determine its location. Total recording time is recorded as a guideline of how long the optical pick-up has been used, and by comparing it with the total recording time at the time when an error occurred in the selfdiagnosis result display mode, you can determine when the error occurred. Clear the total recording time, if the optical pick-up was replaced. 7-1. Operation of The Self-Diagnosis Result Display Mode 1. Enter the test mode (Display Check mode). 2. Press the > key to activate the Self-Diagnosis Result Display mode where the LCD displays as shown below.

SECTION 5 ELECTRICAL ADJUSTMENTS
3-3. Setting The Temperature Correction Value Procedure: 1. In the test mode (Display Check mode), press the [VOL+] key to enter the Manual mode. 2. Press the > key twice, and press the [VOL+] key twice to display as follows.
1. PRECAUTIONS FOR ADJUSTMENT 1. Adjustment must be done in the test mode only. After adjusting, release the test mode. A key having no particular description in the text, indicates a set key. 2. Use the following tools and measuring instruments. Digital voltmeter Regulated dc power supply (two sets) Thermometer (using the Temperature Correction) Laser power meter CD adjustment disc TDYS-1 (Part No. : 4-963-646-01) MD1/HiMD1 hybrid adjustment disc MDW-74/GA1 (Part No. : 4-229-747-01) Hi-MD3 adjustment disc HMD1GSDJ (Part No. : 7-819-098-37) *1 Remote commander in accessories (with LCD) AC adapter in accessories Ni-MH rechargeable battery (NH-7WMAA) in accessories (full charged) PC application software for test mode TestMode_Enter_For_900_800_700_600_600D_Ver***.exe *2 USB cable
*1) Hi-MD3 adjustment disc (HMD1GSDJ) is consumable. Therefore if it is used 400 times, exchange it for a new. *2) Use the newest version every time. Copy the whole folder of this program to your PC. Operating system: Windows 2000, Windows XP When using this application, the SonicStage Ver. 2.0 or 2.1 is necessary, and install it in your PC in advance.

3. Unless specified otherwise, supply DC 1.5 V from battery terminals (CL431: BATT+, CL432: BATT). 2. ADJUSTMENT SEQUENCE Adjustment must be done with the following order. Adjustment order: 1. Entering the test mode 2. Initialize the adjustment value 3. Setting the temperature correction value 4. Power supply voltage adjustment 5. Charge function check 6. Laser power check 7. Setting the adjustment values 8. Servo Overall adjustment 9. Resume clear 10. Releasing the test mode 3. ADJUSTMENT OF THE EACH ITEM 3-1. Entering The Test Mode Refer to the SECTION 4. TEST MODE. 3-2. Initialize The Adjustment Value Procedure: 1. In the test mode (Display Check mode), press the [VOL--] key to enter the Overall adjustment mode. 2. Press the [T MARK] key and display 911 ResOK?. 3. Press the X key to display 911 Reset! and initialize the adjustment values. 4. Press the x key and back to Display Check mode.

6. Adjust with [VOL+]/[VOL--] keys so that the value of digital voltmeter becomes 1.80 V. 7. Press the X key to write the adjusted value. 8. Press the > key to select the next item. 9. Disconnect the digital voltmeter. 10. Press the > key to select the next item (2262) and display 262 AD CC. 11. Press the X key and confirm that the adjustment value changes from CC to DD. If it changes to BB, IC401 (for charge IC) is fault. 12. Press the > key to select the next item (2263) and display 263 AD CC. 13. Press the X key and confirm that the adjustment value changes from CC to DD. If it changes to BB, IC401 (for charge IC) is fault. 14. Disconnect the power supply (AC adaptor). 15. Connect the resistor of the specified value (see table below) to the battery terminals (CL431: BATT+, CL432: BATT), and then connect the AC adapter again, and enter the test mode. 16. Select item number 2264 through the operation similar to steps 2 to 8. 17. Press the X key and confirm that the adjustment value changes from CC to DD. If it changes to BB, IC401 (for charge IC) is fault. 18. In the same manner, exchange the resistors with the power supply disconnected, and confirm that the adjustment value is CC in each item number.
Note: Be sure to disconnect the AC adapter when exchanging the resistors. Doing so with the power supply connected causes a trouble. Item No. Display 262 AD ** 263 AD ** 264 AD ** 265 AD ** 266 AD ** 267 AD ** Connecting Resistor No resistor No resistor 22 (0.1 watts or more) 10 (1.0 watts or more) 10 (1.0 watts or more) 2.2 (1.5 watts or more)
