Editing Recorded MDs Erasing Recordings (Erase Function) Do the procedures below to erase following:

• All tracks Erasing a single track You can erase a track simply by specifying the respective track number. When you erase a track, the total number of tracks on the MD decreases by one and all tracks following the erased one are renumbered. Since erasing merely updates the TOC, there is no need to record over material. z To avoid confusion when erasing multiple tracks, you should proceed in order of high to low track number to prevent the renumbering of tracks that have not been erased yet. Example: Erasing B 1 While the deck is stopped, playing, or pausing, press MENU/NO to display “Edit Menu”. 2 Turn AMS until “Tr Erase ?” appears in the display. 3 Press AMS or YES.

Additional Information System Limitations The recording system in your MiniDisc deck 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. “Disc Full” lights up even before the MD has reached the maximum recording time (60 or 74 minutes) When 255 tracks have been recorded on the MD, “Disc Full” lights up regardless of the total recorded time. More than 255 tracks cannot be recorded on the MD. To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks or use another recordable MD. “Disc Full” lights up before the maximum number of tracks is reached Fluctuations in emphasis within tracks are sometimes interpreted as track intervals, incrementing the track count and causing “Disc Full” to light up. 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. Some tracks cannot be combined with others Track combination may become impossible when tracks are edited. The total recorded time and the remaining time on the MD may not total 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. 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. Also, when the Automatic Track Marking Function is activated during recording, track numbers may not marked as in the original depending on the program source. Display Messages The following table explains the various messages that appear in the display. Also, the deck has a Self-Diagnosis Function (see page 45). Message Meaning Blank Disc A new (blank) or erased MD has been inserted. Cannot Copy An attempt was made to make a second copy from a digitally dubbed MD (see page 41). Cannot Edit An attempt was made to edit the MD during Program or Shuffle Play. Disc Full The MD is full (see “System Limitations” on this page). Impossible The deck cannot do the specified editing operation. Name Full The titling capacity of the MD has reached its limit (about 1,700 characters). No Disc There is no MD in the deck. Premastered An attempt was made to record on the premastered MD. Standby (flashing) The contents recorded by timer have disappeared over time and are not be available for saving to disc, or Program Play could not be activated since the program has disappeared over time.Additional Information

“TOC Reading” appears for a long time If the inserted recordable MD is brand new, “TOC Reading” appears in the display longer than for MDs that have been used. 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 (see page 28).

• 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 it. The correct recorded/playing time may not be displayed during playback of monaural-format MDs. Troubleshooting If you experience any of the following difficulties while using the deck, use this troubleshooting guide to help you remedy the problem. Should any problem persist, consult your nearest Sony dealer. The deck does not operate or operates poorly. /The MD may be damaged (“Disc Error” appears). Take the MD out and insert it again. If “Disc Error” remains, replace the MD. The deck does not play back. /Moisture has formed inside the deck. Take the MD out and leave the deck in a warm place for several hours until the moisture evaporates. /The deck is not on. Press 1/u to turn the deck on. /The MD is inserted in the wrong direction. Slide the MD into the disc slot with the label side up and the arrow pointing towards the opening. /The MD may not be recorded (the music calendar does not appear). Replace the disc with one that has been recorded. The deck does not record. / The MD is record-protected (“Protected” alternates with “C11” in the display). Close the record-protect slot (see page 7). / The deck is not connected properly to the sound source. Make connections properly to the sound source. / The recording level is not adjusted properly. Adjust the recording level properly (see pages 12 and 13). / A premastered MD is inserted. Replace it with a recordable MD. / There is not enough time left on the MD. Replace it with another recordable MD with fewer recorded tracks, or erase unnecessary tracks. / There has been a power failure or the AC power cord has been disconnected during recording. Data recorded to that point may be lost. Repeat the recording procedure. The deck does not work during synchro-recording. / The currently selected CD player type (CD player or video CD player) does not match the CD player being used. Reset the CD player type (see page 16). If the CD player being used has a mode selector, set the selector to CD1. The sound has a lot of static. / Strong magnetism from a television or a similar device is interfering with operations. Move the deck away from the source of strong magnetism. The three-digit display appears. / The Self-Diagnosis Function is on. Check the table on page 45. Note If the deck does not operate properly even after you’ve attempted the prescribed remedies, turn off the power, then reinsert the plug into the power outlet.Additional Information

Guide to the Serial Copy Management System This MD deck uses the Serial Copy Management System, which allows only first-generation digital copies to be made of premastered software via the deck’s digital input jack. An outline of this system appears below: 1 You can record from digital program sources (CDs, DATs or premastered MDs) onto a DAT tape or recordable MD via digital input jack on the DAT or MD deck. You cannot, however, record from this recorded DAT tape or MD onto another DAT tape or recordable MD via the digital input jack on the DAT or MD deck. 2 You can record the digital input signal of a digital satellite broadcast onto a DAT tape or recordable MD via the digital input jack on the DAT or MD deck which is capable of handling a sampling frequency of 32 kHz or 48 kHz. You can then record the contents of this recorded DAT tape or MD (first-generation) onto another DAT tape or recordable MD via digital input jack on the DAT or MD deck to create a second-generation digital copy. Subsequent recording from the second-generation copy onto another recordable DAT tape or MD is possible only through the analog input jack on the DAT or MD deck. Note, however, that on some BS/CS tuners, second- generation digital copying may not be possible.
