When recording from the radio or a CD, press DISPLAY to check the recording remaining time on the MD.
Editing recorded tracks on the MD

Before editing

On the MD, track marks are inserted between the tracks. You can find the beginning of the tracks quickly using the track marks. You can change the positions of the track marks. For instance, you can divide a certain track into several tracks by adding track marks. You can also combine some tracks into a new longer track by erasing some track marks. The position of the track marks to be added are different depending on the type of recording or recording conditions You can add or erase track marks after recording. When you record, for instance, from a radio or other equipment connected to the player, track marks may be added to the positions you do not want. If that happens, change the positions of the track marks to those you want. Change the track marks correctly To erase a track mark n Combining recorded tracks (Combine Function) (page 39): You can combine two tracks into a single one by erasing the track mark between the two tracks. To add a track mark n Dividing recorded tracks (Divide Function) (page 37): You can divide one track into two tracks by adding a track mark.

Precautions

On safety As the laser beam used in the CD and MD player section is harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the casing. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only. Should any solid object or liquid fall into the player, unplug the player, and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further. On power sources The player is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the player itself has been turned off. Unplug the player from the wall outlet when it is not to be used for an extended period of time. When the batteries are not to be used, remove them to avoid damage that can be caused by battery leakage or corrosion. The nameplate indicating operating voltage, power consumption, etc. is located on the right side.
If the player is left in a car parked in the sun, be sure to choose a location in the car where the player will not be subjected to the direct rays of the sun. Since a strong magnet is used for the speakers, keep personal credit cards using magnetic coding or springwound watches away from the player to prevent possible damage from the magnet. On operation If the player is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense on the lenses inside the CD and MD player section. Should this occur, the player will not operate properly. In this case, remove the CD or MD and wait about an hour for the moisture to evaporate. If you have any questions or problems concerning your player, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.
On placement Do not leave the player in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or mechanical shock. Do not place anything within 10 mm of the side of the cabinet. The ventilation holes must be unobstructed for the player to operate properly and prolong the life of its components.

Precautions (continued)

Notes on CDs Before playing, clean the CD with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the CD from the centre out.
Cleaning the cabinet Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as alcohol or benzene. Notes on MDs Do not open the shutter to expose the MD. Close the shutter immediately if the shutter opens.

Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially available cleaners or anti-static spray intended for vinyl LPs. Do not expose the CD to direct sunlight or heat sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car parked in direct sunlight as there can be a considerable rise in temperature inside the car. Do not stick paper or sticker on the CD, nor scratch the surface of the CD. After playing, store the CD in its case. If there is a scratch, dirt or fingerprints on the CD, it may cause tracking error. Cleaning the lens If the lens becomes dirty, it may cause a skipping of sound during CD operation. Clean with a commercially available blower.

Shutter Cartridge

Wipe the disc cartridge with a dry cloth to remove dirt. Protecting a recorded MD To record-protect an MD, slide open the tab at the side of the MD (so the tab is concealed). In this position, the MD cannot be recorded. To record on the MD, slide close the tab.

Slide open the tab.

System limitations of the MD
The recording system in your MiniDisc recorder is radically different from those used in cassette and DAT decks and the system has 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. Disc Full appears in the display even before the MD has reached the maximum recording time (60 or 74 minutes). When 254 tracks have been recorded on the MD, Disc Full appears regardless of the total recorded time. More than 254 tracks cannot be recorded on the MD. To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks. Disc Full appears in the display even before the MD has reached the maximum track number or recording time. 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. The remaining recording time does not increase even after erasing numerous short tracks. Tracks under 12 seconds long are not counted, so erasing them may not increase the recording time. Some tracks cannot be combined with others. Track combination may become impossible when tracks are under 12 seconds long. The total recorded time and the remaining time on the MD may not reach the maximum recording time (60 or 74 minutes). Recording is done in minimum units of 2 seconds each, no matter how short the material. The contents recorded may thus be shorter than the maximum recording capacity. Disc space may also be further reduced by scratches. The sound may dropout while fastfowarding or rewinding the edited tracks. Tracks created through editing may exhibit sound dropout during fastforwarding or rewinding because highspeed playback takes time to search for the position on the disc when the tracks are scattered on the disc.
