If the power supply is disrupted (i.e. the battery is removed or becomes exhausted or the AC power adaptor is disconnected) during a recording or editing operation, or while TOC Edit appears in the display, then it will not be possible to open the lid until power is restored. You can make a digital recording only from an optical type output. When recording from a portable CD player, set the CD player to pause, and then do the recording procedure on the recorder.
Note the following when recording from a portable CD player: Some portable CD players may not be capable of digital out unless powered by the AC power. Connect the AC power adaptor to the portable CD player and use it on AC power as the power source. Disable any anti-skip function (such as ESP*) on the portable CD player.
Electronic Shock Protection
LINE IN (OPTICAL) jack is for both digital and analog input. The recorder automatically recognizes the type of line cable and switches to digital or analog input. The level of the recorded sound is adjusted automatically. You can monitor the sound during recording. Connect the supplied headphones/earphones with remote control to i and adjust the volume by pressing VOL +/. This does not affect the recording level.

Suppressing the skips of the sound (G-PROTECTION)
The G-PROTECTION function was developed to provide a higher level of shock resistance than that of existing players.
The playback sound may skip if: the recorder receives stronger continuous shock. a dirty or scratched MiniDisc is played.

If play does not start

Make sure the recorder is not locked (page 37).
Playback will switch automatically to match the recording mode of the material (stereo, LP2, LP4, or monaural).
To prevent recorder malfunction, do not use a remote control that was supplied with another Sony portable MD model.
Various ways of recording
Two ways of connecting to a sound source
The input jack of this recorder works as both digital and analog input jacks. Connect the recorder to a CD player or a cassette recorder using either digital (optical) input or analog (line) input. To record, see Recording an MD right away! (page 12) to record using digital (optical) input, and Recording with analog input (line cable required) (page 20) to record using analog (line) input. Difference between digital (optical) and analog (line) inputs Difference Connectable source Usable cord Digital (optical) input Equipment with a digital (optical) output jack Optical cable (with an optical or an optical-mini plug) (page 12) Digital Analog (line) input Equipment with an analog (line) output jack Line cable (with 2 phono plugs or a stereo-mini plug) (page 20) Analog Even when a digital source (such as a CD) is connected, the signal sent to the recorder is analog.

Signal from the source

Difference Recorded track numbers
Digital (optical) input Marked (copied) automatically at the same positions as the source (when the sound source is a CD or an MD). after more than 2 seconds of blank or lowlevel segment (with a sound source other than CD or MD). when the recorder is paused during synchrorecording (the recorder pauses automatically when it encounters a section with no audio signal for 3 seconds or more). You can erase unnecessary marks after recording. (Erasing a track mark, page 43). Same as the source. Can also be adjusted manually (Digital REC level control) (Adjusting the recording level manually (Manual recording), page 28).

Do not change SYNC REC setting while recording. Recording may not be done properly. Even when there is no recorded sound on the sound source, there may be cases when recording does not pause automatically during synchro-recording due to the noise level emitted from the sound source. If a silent portion is encountered for 2 seconds or more during synchrorecording from a sound source other than a CD or an MD, a new track mark is automatically added at the point where the silent portion ends.
Synchro-recording cannot be done if the connecting cord is not an optical cable, or if the cable is connected to the MIC (PLUG IN POWER) jack. You cannot manually change the recording mode or the recording level during synchro-recording.
Recording without overwriting existing material
If you wish to avoid overwriting the current contents of an MD, do the following procedure. All new material will then be recorded from the end of the current contents.

<SELECT, MENU/ENTER

While the recorder is stopped, press MENU. Press <SELECT, repeatedly until REC-Posi flashes in the display, and then press ENTER. Press <SELECT, repeatedly until From End flashes in the display, and then press ENTER.
To start recording from the current point Select From Here in step 3.
Recording from a microphone
Connect a stereo microphone (ECM-717, ECM-MS907, ECMMS957, etc.; not supplied) to the MIC (PLUG IN POWER) jack.

REC MENU/ENTER

<SELECT, to MIC (PLUG IN POWER) Stereo microphone
Insert a recordable MD and then press and slide REC to the right. For other operations, see Recording an MD right away! (page 12).
You cannot record through the microphone while an optical cable is connected to the LINE IN (OPTICAL) jack. The recorder automatically switches input in the following order; optical input, microphone input, and analog input. The microphone may pick up the operating sound of the recorder itself. Use the microphone away from the recorder in such cases.
Adding track marks automatically (Auto Time Stamp)
Use this feature to add track marks automatically at specified intervals when recording through the analog input connector or a microphone.

While the recorder is recording or in recording pause, press MENU. Press <SELECT, until TIME MARK flashes in the display, and then press ENTER. Press <SELECT, until the desired time interval flashes in the display, and then press ENTER. Select one of the following intervals: Display OFF 5min. ON 10min. ON 15min. ON Time Approx. 5 min. Approx. 10 min. Approx. 15 min.
To cancel Auto Time Stamp Select OFF in step 3, and then press ENTER, or stop recording.
Using Auto Time Stamp to add track marks while recording
When the elapsed recording time exceeds the time interval for Auto Time Stamp:
The recorder adds track marks at the point you set the time interval and from that point the recorder adds a track mark whenever the time interval has elapsed. Example: Eight minutes of recording has been completed when the Auto Time Stamp time interval is set to 5 minutes. A track mark will be added at the 8-minute point (after the start of recording) and after each 5-minute interval thereafter.
When the time interval set for Auto Time Stamp exceeds the elapsed recording time:
The recorder adds track marks when the set Auto Time Stamp time interval has elapsed. Example: Three minutes of recording has been completed when the Auto Time Stamp time interval is set to 5 minutes. A track mark will be added at the 5-minute point (after the start of recording) and after each 5-minute interval thereafter.
T appears before the time display on the recorder for track marks added by Auto Time Stamp.
Automatic track marking by Auto Time Stamp starts when you add a normal track mark to the disc (i.e., by pressing T MARK or X, etc.). The setting will be lost when the recording stopped.
Adjusting the recording level manually (Manual recording)
When you record, the sound level is adjusted automatically. If necessary, you can set the level manually.
Adjust the recording level while the recorder is in standby mode. You cannot adjust it while recording.

System limitations

The recording system in your MiniDisc recorder is radically different from those used in cassette and DAT decks and is characterized by the limitations described below. Note, however, that these limitations are due to the inherent nature of the MD recording system itself and not to mechanical causes. Symptom TR FULL appears even before the disc has reached the maximum recording time (60, 74, or 80 minutes). TR FULL appears even before the disc has reached the maximum track number or recording time. Track marks cannot be erased. The remaining recording time does not increase even after erasing numerous short tracks. Cause When 254 tracks have been recorded on the disc, TR FULL appears regardless of the total recorded time. More than 254 tracks cannot be recorded on the disc. To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks.
Repeated recording and erasing may cause fragmentation and scattering of data. Although those scattered data can be read, each fragment is counted as a track. In this case, the number of tracks may reach 254 and further recording is not possible. To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks. When the data of a track is fragmented, the track mark of a fragment under 12 seconds long (recorded in stereo), 24 seconds long (recorded in monaural or LP2 mode), or 48 seconds long (recorded in LP4 mode) cannot be erased. You cannot combine a track recorded in different recording mode, e.g., a track recorded in stereo and a track recorded in monaural; nor can you combine a track recorded with digital connection and a track recorded with analog connection. Tracks of under 12 seconds, 24 seconds, or 48 seconds in length are not counted and so erasing them may not lead to an increase in the recording time.

Symptom The total recorded time and the remaining time on the disc may not total the maximum recording time (60, 74, or 80 minutes).
Cause Normally, recording is done in minimum units of approximately 2 seconds (in stereo), 4 seconds (in monaural or LP2 mode), or 8 seconds (in LP4 mode). When recording is stopped, the last unit of recording always uses this unit of 2 seconds, 4 seconds, or 8 seconds even if the actual recording is shorter. Likewise, when recording is restarted after the stop, the recorder will automatically insert a blank space amounting to 2 seconds, 4 seconds, or 8 seconds before the next recording. (This is to prevent accidental erasing of a previous track whenever a new recording is started). Therefore, the actual recording time will decrease whenever a recording is stopped by a maximum of 6 seconds, 12 seconds, or 24 seconds.
The edited tracks The fragmentation of data may cause sound dropout while searching because the tracks are may exhibit played in higher speed than normal playback. sound dropout during search operations.

Troubleshooting

Should any problem persist after you have made these checks, consult your nearest Sony dealer. The recorder does not work or works poorly. Audio sources may not be firmly connected. Disconnect the audio sources once and connect them again (pages 12, 20). The HOLD function is turned on (HOLD appears in the display when you press an operation button on the recorder). Disable HOLD by moving the HOLD switch in the opposite direction of the arrow (pages 10, 37). Moisture has condensed inside the recorder. Take the MD out and leave the recorder in a warm place with the lid open for several hours until the moisture evaporates. The rechargeable battery or dry battery is weak (r or LOW BATT flashes). Charge the rechargeable battery or replace the dry battery (page 50). The rechargeable battery or dry battery have been inserted incorrectly. Insert the battery correctly (page 9). You pressed a button while the disc indication was rotating quickly. Wait until the indication rotates slowly. The analog recording was made using a connecting cord with an attenuator. Use a connecting cord without an attenuator (page 20). While operating, the recorder received a mechanical shock, too much static, abnormal power voltage caused by lightning, etc. Restart the operation as follows. 1 Disconnect all the power sources. 2 Leave the recorder for about 30 seconds. 3 Connect the power source. The disc is damaged or does not contain proper recording or editing data. Reinsert the disc. If this fails, rerecord.

NO SIGNAL appears in the display when recording from a portable CD player. There is no digital signal from the portable CD player. When recording digitally from a portable CD player, use AC power adaptor and disable the anti-skip function (such as ESP) on the CD player (page 15). There is no recording after a recording operation. The AC power adaptor was unplugged or a power outage occurred during recording. The lid does not open. The power sources have been disconnected during recording or editing, or the battery have been exhausted. Set the power sources again, or replace the exhausted battery with new ones. No sound comes through the headphones/earphones. The headphones/earphones plug is not firmly connected. Plug in the plug of the headphones/earphones firmly to the remote control. Plug in the plug of the remote control firmly to i. Volume is too low. Adjust the volume by pressing VOL +/. Volume cannot be turned up. AVLS is on. Set AVLS to AVLS OFF (page 36). An MD is not played from the first track. Disc playing stopped before it came to the last track. Press. repeatedly to go back to the beginning of the disc, and restart playing after checking the track number in the display. Playback sound skips. The recorder is placed where it receives continuous vibration. Put the recorder on a stable place. A very short track may cause sound to skip. Sound has a lot of static. Strong magnetism from a television or such device is interfering with operation. Move the recorder away from the source of strong magnetism.
Cannot find the track marks. You pressed X after pressing. or >. Press X before or pressing. or > (page 43). The rechargeable battery does not start charging. The rechargeable battery has been inserted incorrectly or the AC power adaptor has been connected incorrectly. Insert the battery correctly or connect the AC power adaptor correctly. Momentary noise is heard. Due to the special digital audio compression technology used in LP4 mode, momentary noise may occur on very rare occasions with certain sound sources. Record in normal stereo or LP2 mode.
