On Handling

Do not drop or bump the recorder. This may cause the recorder to malfunction. Do not pull headphones/earphones cords. Do not place the recorder in the following places: An extremely hot place (over 60C (140F)) A place exposed to direct sunlight or near a heater In a car with the windows rolled up (especially in the summer) In a damp place such as a bathroom Near a source of electromagnetic fields such as a magnet, speaker, or TV In a dusty place
Preventing hearing damage
Avoid using headphones/earphones at high volumes. Hearing experts advise against continuous, loud and extended play. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume or discontinue use.

On heat build-up

Heat may build up in the recorder if it is used for an extended period of time. This, however, is not a malfunction.

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 mechanical noise

The recorder emits mechanical noise while operating, which is caused by the power-saving system of the recorder. This is not a malfunction.

On cleaning

After wiping the recorder casing with a soft cloth slightly moistened with water, wipe it again with a dry cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent such as alcohol or benzene as this may mar the finish on 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 an MD. To maintain good sound quality, use a soft cloth to clean the plugs of the headphones/ earphones. A dirty plug may cause noise or intermittent breaks in the sound during playback. Clean the terminals periodically with a cotton swab or a soft cloth as illustrated.

To protect a recorded MD

To record-protect an MD, slide open the tab at the side of the MD. In this position, the MD cannot be recorded. To record again, slide the tab back so the tab is visible.

To cancel a check-out Click ([Stop]).
Make sure the battery power is sufficient before checking out (or checking in) audio data. If the battery becomes exhausted during a check-out (or check-in), the check-out (or check-in) will not be completed. If this happens, replace the dry battery with a new one and try again. Make sure not to disconnect the dedicated USB cable or power source until the operation has completed once the check-out (or check-in) operation has begun. Failure to do this may result in the loss of check-out authorization. Even if a check-out fails, the audio file may be considered checked out on the SonicStage side and the files check-out authorization may be reduced. Make sure not to bump the Net MD after check-out has started. If you do, the contents of the recording may not be stored correctly. Due to the limitations of the MD system, you may not be able to record the full amount of remaining recording time. Due to the limitations of the MD system, a maximum of about 1,700 characters can be stored for disc name, group names and track names on the disc. Take note of this fact when checking out a large number of tracks. The checking out of audio data may take longer if the battery is weak.

Listening to an MD

You can listen to an MD on the Net MD while it is connected to your computer. When disconnected from your computer, the Net MD can be used as an ordinary MiniDisc device. For details on Net MD operations, refer to the Recorder Operations section.

Glossary

ATRAC3 ATRAC3, which stands for Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding3, is audio compression technology that satisfies the demand for high sound quality and high compression rates. The ATRAC3 compression rate is approximately 10 times higher than that of the Audio CD, resulting an increased data capacity for the media. Check-In /Check-Out Check-out is to transfer music files from a personal computer to an external device/media (such as a Network Walkman). Returning checked-out music files to the same computer is to check in. (You cannot move checked-out music files to another computer.) You can check out a music file, check it back in, and then check it out again an infinite number of times. The SDMI rules provide that up to four copies of a music file can be checked out at one time. OpenMG employs a method whereby three copies of a song can be checked out simultaneously, while the fourth copy is maintained as a master on your PC. Electronic Music Distribution (EMD) service EMD is a website that distributes music files which are available for purchase. MP3 MP3, which stands for MPEG-1 Audio Layer3, is a standard for audio file compression determined by the Motion Picture Experts Group, an ISO (International Organization for Standardization) working group. It enables compression of audio files to about 1/10 of the data size of a standard compact disc. Since the MP3 encoding algorithm is disclosed, there are various encoders/decoders that are compliant with this standard, including freeware that is available for no charge. The MP3 standard is therefore widely used in the computer field. Music Drive Music Drive is a music database for managing audio data on a computer. In Music Drive, audio files can be managed along with such information as artist names, track names, and CD jacket images, or can be combined and categorized in different playlists. OpenMG Copyright protection technology for the import and management of musical content from distribution services or CDs. By using software that are compliant with OpenMG, audio contents can be encrypted before storage on a hard disk drive to allow playback of those audio files on that computer. OpenMG also prevents the unauthorized distribution of the contents via the Internet or other networks. Playlist A playlist is like a container that can be used to hold and categorize files stored in Music Drive. For example, by making a jazz playlist and then putting your favorite jazz tracks into the playlist, you can play all of the tracks repeatedly or check them all out at the same continued time.

Recording mode (Bit rate) This is a measure of data volume per second. The rate is expressed in bps (bits per second). In SonicStage, the bit rate can be selected for recording an audio CD or converting MP3 and WAV format audio files into ATRAC3 format from among three rates: 132 kbps, 105 kbps or 66 kbps. In the case of 105 kbps, 105,000 bits of information is processed per second. If the bit rate is large, that means a large amount of information is used to play the music. Thus, 105 kbps data produces better sound quality than 66 kbps data, and 132 kbps data provides better sound quality than 105 kbps data. However, audio files in formats such as MP3 have different encoding methods, and so the sound quality is not determined by the bit rate alone. SDMI SDMI, which stands for Secure Digital Music Initiative, is a forum that consists of over 130 companies in the fields of recorded audio content, computers, and consumer electronics. It is dedicated to the development of integrated copyright protection technology that can be used worldwide. SDMI is working to create a framework for preventing the improper usage of audio files and to promote legal music distribution services. The copyright protection technology OpenMG is based on the SDMI standard. Windows Media Audio This is an audio compression technology that includes the management system called Windows Media Rights Manager.

Polarity of the plug

Connect the AC power adaptor to an easily accessible AC outlet. Should you notice an abnormality in the AC power adaptor, disconnect it from the AC outlet immediately. The recorder is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the recorder itself has been turned off. If you are not going to use this recorder for a long time, be sure to disconnect the power supply (AC power adaptor, dry battery, rechargeable battery, or car battery cord). To remove the AC power adaptor from the wall outlet, grasp the adaptor plug itself; never pull the cord.

Notes on chip component replacement Never reuse a disconnected chip component. Notice that the minus side of a tantalum capacitor may be damaged by heat. Flexible Circuit Board Repairing Keep the temperature of the soldering iron around 270 C during repairing. Do not touch the soldering iron on the same conductor of the circuit board (within 3 times). Be careful not to apply force on the conductor when soldering or unsoldering. UNLEADED SOLDER Boards requiring use of unleaded solder are printed with the leadfree mark (LF) indicating the solder contains no lead. (Caution: Some printed circuit boards may not come printed with the lead free mark due to their particular size) : LEAD FREE MARK Unleaded solder has the following characteristics. Unleaded solder melts at a temperature about 40 C higher than ordinary solder. Ordinary soldering irons can be used but the iron tip has to be applied to the solder joint for a slightly longer time. Soldering irons using a temperature regulator should be set to about 350 C. Caution: The printed pattern (copper foil) may peel away if the heated tip is applied for too long, so be careful! Strong viscosity Unleaded solder is more viscous (sticky, less prone to flow) than ordinary solder so use caution not to let solder bridges occur such as on IC pins, etc. Usable with ordinary solder It is best to use only unleaded solder but unleaded solder may also be added to ordinary solder.
