RECORDING

This unit allows you to make recordings from a wide variety of program sources (both analog and digital). When recording an analog source (such as an FM broadcast or cassette) this unit converts the analog signals to a 44.1 kHz digital signal before recording them onto the MD. When recording a digital source, this unit converts the digital signals to 44.1 kHz for recording onto the MD. However, if you are recording a 44.1 kHz source signal (such as a CD) there is no conversion. This unit can record 32, 44.1 and 48 kHz digital signals. Preparations Press STANDBY/ON (POWER on the remote) to turn this unit on. Set the RX-E100 to the program source to be recorded.

To pause Press REC/PAUSE. Press #/* (# on the remote) to resume recording. To stop Press &. To eject the MD Press. If the power cord is disconnected while making a recording, the TOC data cannot be correctly written to the disc and the recorded data will be erased. TOC writing may be impossible (or track number marking may not perform as expected) when recording a damaged CD or a broadcast source with interference.
Press M-MARK repeatedly to select automatic (MANUAL indicator is not lit) or manual (MANUAL indicator lit) marking.
COAX. 32 44.RANDOM REC PROGRAM MONO kHz MANUAL REPEAT A-B S F TOC
When recording analog signals Auto : Track numbers are written in synchronization with the input level of the signal being recorded. During recording, if no sound is detected for more than 1.5 seconds, the recorder interprets this to be a gap between two tracks. When the source signal is detected again, a track number is automatically written. Manual : One track number is written automatically when you start recording, but none are written during recording. To mark a track number, press M-MARK at the desired position while recording. Note
When using manual marking, the marks must be set at least 4 seconds apart.
Adjusting Recording Levels
Setting the digital recording level The digital recording level is set by default to 0 dB, the level of the input source. Normally, it is not necessary to adjust this level. However, because of the variance in levels between different digital formats and sources, it is possible to adjust the recording level of the digital signal. The digital level can be adjusted up to +12 dB and down to a minimum (MIN) level. Adjust DIGITAL REC LEVEL so that the highest peak causes the 0 dB level indicators to flicker. Do not cause the OVER indicator to light. Once recording is stopped, the digital recording level returns to the default level of 0 dB.

4 Start playing the sound source.
To cancel the synchronized recording mode Press &. Note
When the signals at the beginning of a track are lower than the level required to start synchronized recording, they are not recorded. Should this occur, perform manual recording.

MD SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

The recording system in your MD 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 inherent to the MD recording system and are not a result of mechanical trouble. It is not possible to erase part of a track using the A-B ERASE function This unit organizes the audio data in sound groups and clusters. The minimum size of these units may not consist of less than 10 seconds of stereo sound. Limitations when recording over an existing track The correct remaining recording time may not be displayed. You may find it impossible to record over a track if that track has been recorded over several times already. If this happens, erase the track using the ERASE function. The remaining recording time may be shortened out of proportion to the total recorded time. Recording over a track to eliminate noise is not recommended since this may shorten the duration of the track. You may find it impossible to label a track while recording over another track. The correct recorded/playing time may not be displayed during playback of MDs recorded in monaural.
Cant REC! is displayed before the maximum recording time (60 or 74 minutes) has been reached Once 255 tracks have been recorded on one MD, Cant REC is displayed regardless of the total recorded time. TOC Full is displayed before the maximum number of tracks (255) have been recorded During automatic track marking, fluctuations in emphasis within songs may be interpreted as song intervals, increasing the total number of tracks and causing TOC Full to be displayed. The remaining recording time does not increase even after erasing numerous short tracks Tracks under 12 seconds in length are not counted and so erasing them may not lead to an increase in the recording time. TOC Reading is displayed continuously The TOC Reading display lasts longer than normal when a brand new (blank) disc is inserted. The total recorded time and the remaining time on the MD do not total to the maximum recording time Recording is done in minimum units of 2 seconds each, no matter how short the material. This unit displays the length of the largest continuous blank area as the remaining time. Therefore, if there are several separate blank spaces, the remaining time will only display a time equivalent to the largest continuous blank space. Tracks created through editing may exhibit sound dropout during search operations. Track numbers are not recorded correctly Incorrect assignment or recording of track numbers may result when CD tracks are divided into several smaller tracks during digital recording.

DISPLAY MESSAGES

Protected The record protection on the inserted MD is set to protect. PlayBack MD The inserted MD is a designed for playback only (you cannot record on this disc). Monitor Out The monitor out function is active. The audio signal input to the selected input terminals is output from this units output terminals. No Track Blank disc is played or searched.

COPY PROTECTION (SCMS)

As a digital audio component, this MD recorder conforms with the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS) standards. The Serial Copy Management System restricts copies made by recording digital signals to first-generation copies only. Therefore, an MD recorded through a digital input cannot be used as a source for making another digital recording. Care of MDs Do not expose the MD 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. Periodically remove dust and debris from the cartridge surface by wiping it with a dry cloth. Because the MD itself is housed in a cartridge, you can handle it normally without being concerned about dirt or fingerprints. However, malfunctioning may result if the cartridge itself is dirty or warped. Do not open the shutter on the MD cartridge Trying to force the shutter open will damage the shutter.

Slide the write-protect tab to the closed position. Load a recordable MD.
Check all connections again. Press INPUT repeatedly to select the correct input jacks. Turn REC LEVEL to adjust the recording level. Set the digital output level of the digital source to MAX. Load a recordable MD with fewer recorded tracks, or erase unnecessary tracks from the current MD. If recording was interrupted, try recording again starting from the beginning. Insert the MD completely, then press to eject it. Place the unit farther away from the television or other component. Replace the batteries. Operate the remote from less than 6 meters (about 20 feet) and within 30 on either side of the sensor. Place the unit away from the strong light.
The remote control does not operate.

PRECAUTIONS: READ THIS BEFORE OPERATING THE UNIT

CAUTIONS

To assure the finest performance, please read this manual carefully. Keep it in a safe place for future reference. Install your unit in a well ventilated, cool, dry, clean place away from windows, heat sources, vibration, dust, moisture, or cold. To avoid humming sounds, locate the unit away from other electrical appliances, motors, and transformers. To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not expose to rain and water. (U.K. and Europe models only) Be sure to allow at least 10 cm of ventilation space at the top, on left, right, and back sides of RX-E100. Do not operate the unit upside-down. It may overheat, possibly causing damage. Never open the cabinet. If something drops into the set, contact your dealer. Do not use force on switches, knobs or cords. Always set the VOLUME control to minimum before starting playback of an audio source: increase the volume gradually to an appropriate level after play has started. When not planning to use this unit for long periods of time (i.e., vacation, etc.), disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet. Grounding or polarization Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or polarization of the unit is not defeated. Do not clean the unit with chemical solvents; this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth. Be sure to read the Troubleshooting section on common operating errors before concluding that your unit is faulty. Do not place another component on top of this unit, as damage or discoloration on the surface of the unit may result. To prevent damage by lightning, disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet during an electrical storm. When disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet, grasp the plug; do not pull the cord. Do not plug the AC power plug to the wall outlet before you finish all connections. The voltage to be used must be the same as that specified on this unit. Using this unit with a higher voltage than that which is specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of accident causing damage. YAMAHA will not be held responsible for any damage resulting from use of this unit with a voltage other than that which is specified. When listening to the receiver at a high volume level for a long time, the temperature inside the unit rises. To prevent overheating and possible damage to this unit, the internal fan starts running. Sudden temperature changes and storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet.

The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if this unit itself is turned off. This state is called the standby mode. In this state, this unit is designed to consume a very small quantity of power.
CAUTION FOR CARRYING THE UNIT
Before carrying the unit, first remove all discs from the unit, press STANDBY/ON to turn the unit off, then disconnect the AC power plug from the wall outlet.
VOLTAGE SELECTOR (General model only)
The voltage selector (on the rear panel of this unit) must be correctly set to the voltage used locally before making any connection to the AC power supply.
FREQUENCY STEP switch <General model only>
Because the interstation frequency spacing differs in different areas, set the FREQUENCY STEP switch (located on the rear panel) according to the frequency spacing in your area. Before setting this switch, disconnect the AC power plug of this unit from the AC outlet.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. As the laser beam used in this compact disc player is harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personel only.

For Canadian Customers

To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot and fully insert. Thes Class B digital apparatus complies with CANADIAN ICES-003

GETTING STARTED

The remote control
This remote control controls a whole system: not only RX-E100 but also CDX-E100. Moreover, a cassette deck (KX-E100) and MD recorder (MDX-E100) that level up your system can be operated by it. Operating buttons for each unit are explained on the pages below: Receiver, RX-E100: CD player, CDX-E100: Cassette deck, KX-E100: MD recorder, MDX-E100: p.7 p.15 p.20 p.20
Use only AAA, UM-4, R03 batteries for replacement. Be sure the polarities are correct. (See the illustration inside the battery compartment.) Remove the batteries if the remote control will not be used for an extended period of time. If batteries leak, dispose of them immediately.
