Auto (AGC) Manual Standard The recorder adjusts the recording level automatically. You can adjust the recording level manually ( page 52). Microphone recording level adjustment mode for recording sources such as conversations. The recording level is automatically adjusted to suppress distortion and produce clear recordings. Can be selected while REC Level is set to Auto (AGC). Microphone recording level adjustment mode for recording sources such as music concerts or jam sessions. The recording level is automatically adjusted to obtain greater distortion suppression and natural volume transitions close to those in the original sound. Can be selected while REC Level is set to Auto (AGC). Microphone sensitivity for recording sounds of normal volume, such as a conversation. Microphone sensitivity for recording loud or close-range sounds, such as a music concert. Track marks are automatically added as they appear in the sound source. Track marks are added at specied intervals. This interval can be set in 1-minute units up to 60 minutes.

Due to the limitations of the system, the audio data is recorded in several-second steps. Therefore, when you record many short tracks, the total recording time increases but does not tally with the remaining recording time. The difference is due to the use of the binary system to indicate the disc size on the computer and the decimal system to express the disc size on the disc ( page 30) and other recording media. You cannot operate the recorder while the recorder is connected to the computer. It happens if you disconnect the USB cable in the middle of a data transfer, recording, or editing operation on the computer, but while the rechargeable battery is missing from the recorder or is drained. Reconnect the USB cable or insert a fully charged rechargeable battery into the recorder, and then press CANCEL.

While recording

Symptom The remaining recording time appears as R 00:00 and recording cannot be done, even though 2.0 MB of free space is displayed. The recorder always creates a new group when recording.
The rst few seconds of a track cannot be recorded.
This is a system limitation. 2.0 MB is the capacity of the reserve domain.
The group recording (Group REC) is set to On. (You cannot overwrite tracks.) Set the group recording setting to Off ( page 51). If you start recording before the operation mode appears and the operation lamp disappears in the display, data will not be recorded to the rst few seconds of the rst track. Wait until the operation mode appears and the operation lamp disappears before you start recording. This occurs due to the MiniDisc system limitation (MD mode only). When the total number of characters used on a disc (for track names, artist names, album names, group names and disc name) is more than about 1,700, it becomes impossible to create a new group.
A new group cannot be created.
Symptom Recording cannot be done correctly.
Audio sources may not be securely connected. Disconnect the audio sources once and connect them again ( pages 31, 37). There is no digital signal from the portable CD player. When recording digitally from a portable CD player, use the AC power adaptor and disable the anti-skip function (such as ESP) on the CD player. The analog recording was made using a connecting cord with an attenuator. Use a connecting cord without an attenuator ( page 11). Recording level is too small to record (when adjusting the recording level manually). Pause the recorder and adjust the recording level ( page 52). The recorder is connected to the computer. Disconnect the recorder from the computer when recording. The power sources was disconnected or a power outage occurred during recording. The recording result is not recorded on the disc. Make recording again. Recording may not be done if the remaining recordable time on the disc is 48 seconds or less (DISC FULL appears). Replace the disc. The lid does not open until SystemFILE WRITING disappears in the display. This occurs due to the limitation of the system. When 2,047 tracks (on a disc used in Hi-MD mode) or 254 tracks (on a disc used in MD mode) have been recorded on the disc, TRACK FULL appears regardless of the total recorded time. More than 2,047 tracks or 254 tracks cannot be recorded on the disc. To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks. This occurs due to the MiniDisc system limitation (in MD mode only). Tracks of under 12 seconds (in SP mode), 24 seconds (in LP2 mode or monaural), or 48 seconds (in LP4 mode) in length are not counted and so erasing them may not lead to an increase in the recording time.

The lid does not open after recording. TRACK FULL appears even before the disc has reached the maximum recording time and the recording cannot be done.
The remaining recording time does not increase even after erasing numerous short tracks.
Symptom The total recorded time and the remaining time on the disc may not total the maximum recording time (60, 74, or 80 minutes).
This occurs due to the MiniDisc system limitation (in MD mode only). Normally, recording is done in minimum units of approximately 2 seconds (in SP mode), 4 seconds (in LP2 mode or monaural), 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. This occurs due to the MiniDisc system limitation. 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 2,047 (on a disc used in Hi-MD mode) or 254 (on a disc used in MD mode) and further recording is not possible. To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks.
TRACK FULL appears even before the disc has reached the maximum track number or recording time.
Symptom A disc is not played normally. Case and/or corrective action
Repeat play is selected. Change back to normal play ( page 44). Playback mode is changed. Change back to Normal ( page 43). Disc playing stopped before it came to the last track. Press the jog lever (/ENT) (/ENT on the remote) for 2 seconds or more to start playing ( page 40). 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. Due to the special digital audio compression technology used in LP4 mode, momentary noise may occur on very rare occasions with certain sound sources.

A disc is not played from the rst track. Playback sound skips.
Momentary noise is heard.
Symptom 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. The track was recorded in analog mode or you used a connecting cord with an attenuator. Use a correct connecting cord without an attenuator. The recording level was low. Adjust the recording level manually while recording ( page 52). AVLS is set to On (AVLS On on the remote). Set to Off (AVLS Off on the remote) ( page 58). The earphones plug is not rmly connected. Plug in the plug of the earphones rmly to the recorder. The plug is dirty. Clean the plug. The component does not support Hi-MD. Discs used in Hi-MD mode can be played only on components that supports Hi-MD. This occurs due to the MiniDisc system limitation. The fragmentation of data may cause sound dropout while searching because the tracks are played in higher speed than normal playback. There is no R-channel output if the cassette deck or an amplier is connected with a monaural cord. Make sure to use a stereo connecting cord.
The volume of the recorded track is low.
Volume cannot be turned up. No sound comes through the earphones. The disc cannot be played on another component. The edited tracks may exhibit sound dropout during search operations. There is no R-channel sound output when playing a track recorded from a cassette deck or through an amplier, or when listening to sound from a cassette deck or amplier. You cannot play an MP3 audio track. Date and time of recording are not displayed. The operation lamp ashes slowly during playback.
The type of MP3 supported by this recorder is MPEG-1 Audio Layer-3, transferred by the SonicStage software, with a sampling frequency of 32, 44.1 or 48 kHz. Date and time of recording are displayed if the they have been recorded. When an audio track is transferred from your computer, the recording date and time are not displayed. The operation lamp ashes slowly when the contents of an editing operation performed during playback or play-pause are ready to be written to the disc. When playback on the recorder is stopped, the edited contents are written to the disc and the operation lamp turns off.

While editing

Symptom The lid does not open. Case and/or corrective action
The recorder is saving the contents of an editing operation. The lid will not open until SystemFILE WRITING disappears from the display. The power source has been disconnected or a power outage has occurred during editing. Do the editing operation again. Non-audio data cannot be erased with the Erase function. Conrm the contents by connecting the recorder to your computer. If it is okay to delete the contents, disconnect the recorder from the computer, and then perform the Format function ( page 54). This occurs due to the MiniDisc system limitations. When the tracks are scattered and the length of each track is short, you may not be able to combine the tracks. Combining tracks of the following lengths may not be possible. Hi-MD mode LinearPCM: 9 seconds or less Hi-SP: 8 seconds or less Hi-LP: 32 seconds or less MD mode SP: 12 seconds or less LP2/Monaural: 24 seconds or less LP4: 48 seconds or less You cannot combine tracks recorded in different recording modes, 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. The component does not support Hi-MD. Edit on other component that support Hi-MD.
Editing cannot be done. Non-audio data cannot be erased.
Tracks cannot be combined.
The disc cannot edit on other component.

Others

Symptom The recorder does not work or works poorly. Case and/or corrective action
The rechargeable battery is not charged. Charge the rechargeable battery. The volume is low. Turn up the volume. No disc is inserted. Insert a recorded disc. The HOLD function is turned on. Disable HOLD by sliding the HOLD switch to the opposite direction of the arrow ( page 15). The lid is not rmly closed. Close the lid until it clicks. Moisture has condensed inside the recorder if the recorder is brought directly from a cold to a warm location. Take the disc out and leave the recorder in a warm place for several hours until the moisture evaporates ( page 78). The AC power adaptor, the AC power cord, or the USB cable is not rmly connected. Connect them rmly. The rechargeable battery is weak (LOW BATTERY ashes or nothing appears). Charge the rechargeable battery ( page 14) or connect the recorder to a wall outlet. The disc is damaged or does not contain proper recording or editing data. Reinsert the disc. Rerecord the disc. If the error message still appears, replace it with another disc. There is a built-in malfunction in the system. While operating, the recorder received a mechanical shock, too much static, abnormal power voltage caused by lightning, etc. Disconnect all the power sources and the USB cable. Leave the recorder for about 30 seconds and connect the power source. You tried to operate the recorder with the remote while EL Light is set to Auto Off ( page 59). Use the buttons and controls on the recorder. When using a blank 60/74/80-minute standard disc in the recorder, the operation mode set in the Disc Mode menu is applied. Use the Disc Mode menu to change the operation mode as desired.

On the MiniDisc cartridge
When carrying or storing the MiniDisc, keep it in its case. Do not break open the shutter. Do not place the cartridge where it will be subject to light, extreme temperatures, moisture or dust. Attach the supplied disc label only in the space designated for it on the disc. Do not stick it on any other disc surface.
To protect a recorded disc
To record-protect a disc, slide open the tab at the side of the disc. In this position, the disc cannot be recorded/edited. To record/edit again, slide the tab back so the tab is visible.

If you have any questions or problems concerning your recorder, please consult your nearest Sony dealer. (If a trouble occurred when the disc was in the recorder, we recommend that the disc be left in the recorder when you consult your Sony dealer so that the cause of trouble may be better understood.)

On the earphones

Road safety Do not use earphones while driving, cycling, or operating any motorized vehicle. It may create a trafc 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. Preventing hearing damage Avoid using 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. 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.

On cleaning

Clean the recorder casing with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water or a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzene as it may mar the nish of the casing. Wipe the disc cartridge with a dry cloth to remove dirt. Dust on the lens may prevent the unit from operating properly. Be sure to close the disc compartment lid after inserting or ejecting a disc. To obtain the best sound quality, use a dry cloth to wipe the plugs of the headphones/ earphones or the remote control. Dirty plugs may cause sound distortion or intermittent breaks in the sound. Clean the terminals on the rechargeable battery with a cotton swab or a soft cloth as illustrated.

Restrictions on the editing of tracks transferred from your computer This unit was designed so that editing functions (i.e., adding track marks and erasing track marks) do not function for tracks that have been transferred from your computer. This is to prevent the loss of transfer authorization by the transferred tracks. To edit these tracks, rst transfer them into the computer, and then edit them on the computer. About the DSP TYPE-S for ATRAC/ATRAC3 This recorder supports DSP TYPE-S, a specication for high-level Sony MiniDisc decks equipped with digital signal processors (DSP). This specication allows the recorder to produce high-quality sound from tracks recorded in MDLP mode. Since it retains DSP TYPE-R support, the recorder produces superior results during playback in SP (normal stereo) mode. 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.
Difference between digital (optical) and analog (line) inputs 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 from externally connected component ( page 37) to record using digital (optical) input, and When recording in analog ( page 38) to record using analog (line) input.

5. 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. 5-1. Operation of The Self-Diagnosis Result Display Mode 1. Enter the test mode (Display Check mode). 2.
