Notes on recording/Recording for long timesRecording to MDs Notes on recording When “Tr” flashes in the display during recording The MD deck is recording over existing track(s) (see “Recording to an MD” on page 14). The indication stops flashing when the deck reaches the end of the recorded portion. When “TOC” lights up in the display after recording Recording has finished but the TOC (Table of Contents) on the MD has not been updated to reflect the recording results. The recording will be lost if you disconnect the AC power cord while the indication is on. The TOC will be updated only when you eject the MD or turn off the MD deck. When “TOC Writing” flashes in the display after recording The deck is updating the TOC. Do not disconnect the AC power cord or move the deck while the indication flashes. A built-in sampling rate converter automatically converts the sampling frequency of various digital sources to the

44.1 kHz sampling rate of the MD deck. This allows you

to monitor and record sources such as 32- or 48-kHz DAT tape or satellite broadcasts, as well as the CDs and MDs. Recording for long times In addition to normal stereo recording, this deck has two long time recording modes: LP2 and LP4. When recording in LP2 Stereo mode, you can record 2 times the normal recordable time, and in LP4 Stereo mode, you can record 4 times the normal recordable time. In addition, the recordable time for monaural recording is approximately double the stereo recording time. Note MDs recorded in MD LP (LP2 or LP4 Stereo) mode cannot be played back on a deck that does not support MD LP mode. In addition, you cannot perform S.F Edit for MDs recorded in MD LP mode. Do steps 1 to 4 of “Recording to an MD” on page 14. Press REC MODE repeatedly to select the recording mode you want to record in. Do steps 5 to 9 of “Recording to an MD” on page 14.You can automatically add “LP:” at the beginning of a track name during a long time recording The deck is set at the factory to add “LP:” automatically. This indication is displayed when the track is played on a deck that does not support long-time recording (page 57). To turn this function On/Off, press

When you record to an MD in LP2 or LP4 Stereo modeThe MD LP indicator lights up when you press in step 3 above.Notes The recorded “LP:” is a confirmation stamp that is displayed to indicate that the track cannot be played back on a deck that does not support MD LP mode. It is not displayed on decks that support MD LP mode.

Recording for long times/Adjusting the recording levelRecording to MDs If “LPstamp:On” is set, “LP:” is recorded as part of the track name, so the number of characters that can be input in a single MD is reduced. Furthermore, “LP:” is automatically copied if the track name is copied or if the track is divided by using the Divide function. MDs recorded in MD LP (LP2 or LP4 Stereo) mode should be played back on a deck that supports MD LP mode. These MDs cannot be played back on other decks. When you play an MD recorded in MD LP mode, “STEREO” (for an MD recorded in LP2 Stereo mode) or “MONO” (for an MD recorded in LP4 Stereo mode) lights up. Even if you press REC MODE during recording or recording pause, you cannot change the recording mode. Even if you press REC MODE repeatedly to select MONO, the monitor signal during recording does not become monaural. Adjusting the recording level You can adjust the recording level for both analog and digital recordings.

Do steps 1 to 6 of “Recording to an MD” on page 14. Play the portion of the program source with the strongest output. Press DISPLAY/CHAR (or DISPLAY) repeatedly until the level of the input signal appears. While monitoring the sound, turn REC LEVEL (or press REC LEVEL/ANALOG OUT LEVEL +/– repeatedly) to raise the recording level to its highest level without turning on the two rightmost indicators on the peak level meters. Stop playing the program source. To start recording, continue from step 8 of “Recording to an MD” on page 14. You can adjust the recording level without changing the displayIn this case, skip step 3 above.While adjusting the recording level, the level of the input signal appears for about three seconds. You can use the Peak Hold FunctionThe function freezes the peak level meters at the highest level reached by the input signal.

Additional information on Automatic Track Marking When recording from a CD player or an MD deck connected to the DIGITAL IN connector, the entire material might be recorded as a single track in the following cases:—When you consecutively record the same track two or more times using single-track repeat play.—When you consecutively record two or more tracks with the same track number but from different CDs or MDs.—When you record tracks from certain CD or multi-disc players. If the source is an MD, a track number might not be marked for tracks less than four seconds long during stereo recording. When recording from a component connected to the ANALOG IN jacks with “T.Mark Off” selected or when recording from a DAT deck or DBS tuner connected to the DIGITAL IN connector, the entire material may be recorded as a single track. When recording from a DAT deck or DBS tuner connected to the DIGITAL IN connector, the deck will mark a track number whenever the sampling frequency of the input signal changes, regardless of the track marking parameter setting (“T.Mark Lsyn” or “T.Mark Off”). You can mark track numbers even after recording has finishedSee “Dividing tracks” on page 33. Note If you turn off the deck or disconnect the AC power cord, the deck will store the last settings (“T.Mark Lsyn” or “T.Mark Off” and the trigger level) and recall them the next time you turn on the deck. Starting recording with six seconds of prestored audio data (Time Machine Recording) Whenever the deck is in recording pause, the deck’s buffer memory continuously stores the latest six seconds worth of audio data. When you press AMS (or T.REC), the recording then starts with the data in the buffer memory. Time Machine Recording thus allows you to avoid missing the beginning of material recorded live from an FM or satellite broadcast.

Do steps 1 to 6 of “Recording to an MD” on page 14. The deck changes to recording pause.

Start playing the program source. Press AMS (or T.REC) at the point where you want to start recording. Recording starts with the six seconds of prestored data in the buffer memory, then continues recording via the buffer memory thereafter. To stop Time Machine Recording Press

Note The storage of data in the buffer memory starts from the moment the deck changes to recording pause. Thus, if you start recording less than six seconds after changing to recording pause, less than six seconds worth of data will be recorded from the buffer memory. The same is true if the program source had been playing for less than six seconds at the time you start recording. AMS21

Synchro-recording with the audio component of your choice/Synchro-recording with a Sony CD playerRecording to MDs Synchro-recording with the audio component of your choice (Music Synchro- recording) The Music Synchro-recording allows you to automatically synchronize recording to the MD deck with the playing of the selected program source.

Synchro-recording with a Sony CD player Recording to MDs Operations you may want to do during CD Synchro-recording

You can use the remote of the CD player during CD Synchro-recording During CD Synchro-recording, track numbers are marked in the following ways:

When the CD player is connected to the DIGITAL IN connector, track numbers are automatically marked as they appear on the CD.

When the CD player is connected to the ANALOG IN jacks, track numbers are automatically marked when “T.Mark Lsyn” has been selected (page 19).

When you resume recording after recording pause, a new track number is automatically marked, regardless of the track marking parameter setting (“T.Mark Lsyn” or “T.Mark Off”).

You can change CDs during CD Synchro-recording

Before you start editing Editing Recorded MDs This chapter explains how to edit the tracks that have been recorded to an MD. Before you start editing The buttons and control below are used to erase, divide, move, or combine tracks on the MD. Note The operation of these buttons and the control is different when naming a track or MD. For details, see “Naming a track or MD” on page 35. MENU/NO button: While the deck is stopped, playing, or paused, press to edit tracks. While editing, press to cancel editing. AMS control: Turn to select an editing operation or track number, then press to enter your selection. You can also use the control to specify points in a track for erasure or track division. YES button: Press this button instead of the AMS control to enter a selection. m/M buttons: Press to specify the unit (minute, second, or frame) by which the MD is advanced when the AMS control is turned. You can also use these buttons to locate the end point of the portion to be erased. For further details on the function of each button and control, see the following sections on editing operations. When “Protected” appears while editing The record-protect slot is open. To edit the MD, slide the tab to close the slot. For details, see “To prevent accidental erasure of the recorded material” on page 15.

When “TOC Writing” flashes in the display The deck is updating the TOC. Do not disconnect the AC power cord or move the deck while the indication flashes. Erasing tracks (ERASE) You can erase a track or part of a track by specifying the number of the track or the portion within a track to be erased. You can also erase all the tracks on an MD at one time. Specify the number of the track you want to erase. Example: Erasing the second track When you erase a track, all the tracks after the one erased are automatically renumbered. For example, if you erase track number 2, the previous track number 3 becomes track number 2 and the previous track number 4 becomes track number 3, and so on.

control system This MD deck is compatible with the CONTROL A1

control system was designed to simplify the operation of audio systems composed of separate Sony components. CONTROL A1

connections provide a path for the transmission of control signals that enable automatic operation and control features usually associated with integrated systems. Currently, CONTROL A1

connections between a Sony MD deck, CD player, amplifier (receiver), and cassette deck provide automatic function selection and synchronized recording. In the future the CONTROL A1

connection will work as a multifunction bus allowing you to control various functions for each component. Note The CONTROL A1

control system is designed to maintain upward compatibility as the control system is upgraded to handle new functions. In this case, however, older components will not be compatible with the new functions. Connect monaural (2P) mini-plug cables in series to the CONTROL A1

jacks on the back of each component. You can connect up to ten CONTROL A1

compatible components in any order. However, you can connect only one of each type of component (i.e., 1 CD player, 1 MD deck, 1 tape deck and 1 receiver). (You may be able to connect more than one CD player or MD deck, depending on the model. Refer to the operating instructions supplied with the respective component for details.) Example In the CONTROL A1

control system, the control signals flow both ways, so there is no distinction of IN and OUT jacks. If a component has more than one CONTROL A1

jack, you can use either one, or connect different components to each jack. About the connecting cable When a CONTROL A1

compatible component is not supplied with a connecting cable, use a commercially available monaural (2P) mini-plug cable less than 2 meters (6.6 feet) long, with no resistance (such as the Sony RK-G69HG). Automatic function selection When you connect CONTROL A1

cables (not supplied), the function selector on the amplifier (or receiver) automatically switches to the correct input when you press the play button on one of the connected components. (For example, when you press

(play button) on the MD deck while the CD is playing, the function selector on the amplifier switches from CD to MD.) Notes

This function works only when the components are connected to the amplifier (or receiver) inputs according to the names on the function buttons. Certain receivers allow you to switch the names of the function buttons. In this case, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the receiver.

When recording, do not play any components other than the recording source. It will cause the automatic function selection to operate. CONTROL A1

and CONTROL A1 compatibility The CONTROL A1 control system has been updated to the CONTROL A1

which is the standard system in the Sony 300 disc CD changer and other recent Sony components. Components with CONTROL A1 jacks are compatible with components with CONTROL A1

and can be connected to each other. Basically, the majority of the functions available with the CONTROL A1 control system will be available with the CONTROL A1

control system. However, when making connections between components with CONTROL A1 jacks and components with CONTROL A1

jacks, the number of functions that can be controlled may be limited depending on the component. For detailed information, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the component(s). Connecting the CONTROL A1

Precautions Additional Information This chapter provides additional information that will help you understand and maintain your MD deck system. Precautions On safety

Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the deck and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it any further.

Caution – The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard. On power sources

Before operating the deck, check that the operating voltage of the deck is identical with your local power supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the nameplate at the rear of the deck.

The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.

If you are not going to use the deck for a long time, be sure to disconnect the deck from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.

AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified service shop. On condensation in the deck If the deck 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 deck. Should this occur, the deck may not operate properly. In this case, remove the MD and leave the deck turned on for several hours until the moisture evaporates. On the MiniDisc cartridge

Do not open the shutter to expose the MD.

Do not place the cartridge where it will be subject to extremes of sunlight, temperature, moisture or dust. On cleaning 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 benzine. If you have any questions or problems concerning your deck, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.51

Handling MDs/System limitations Additional Information Handling MDs The MD is enclosed in a cartridge to protect the disc from debris or fingerprints and to make it easy to handle. However, the presence of debris or a warped cartridge may inhibit the disc from operating properly. To ensure that you can always listen to the highest quality music, follow the precautions below:

Do not touch the internal disc directly. Forcing the shutter open may damage the internal disc.

Be sure to stick the labels supplied with the MD to the appropriate positions. The shape of the labels may vary depending on the MD brand. Where to keep the MDs Do not place the cartridge where it may be exposed to direct sunlight or extremely high heat and humidity. Regular maintenance Wipe dust and debris from the surface of the cartridge with a dry cloth. System limitations The recording system in your 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” appears in the display even before the MD has reached the maximum recording time When 255 tracks have been recorded to the MD, “Disc Full” appears regardless of the total recorded time. More than 255 tracks cannot be recorded to the MD. To continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks or use another recordable MD. “Disc Full” appears 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 appear. 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.

• During stereo recording. In MONO or LP2 mode: about 24 seconds In LP4 mode: about 48 seconds The total recorded time and the remaining recordable time on the MD may not total the maximum recording time Recording is done in minimum units of two seconds* each, no matter how short the material is. The contents recorded may thus be shorter than the maximum recording capacity. Disc space may also be further reduced by scratches.

• During stereo recording. In MONO or LP2 mode: about 4 seconds In LP4 mode: about 8 seconds Limitations when recording over an existing track

The correct remaining recordable 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 (see page 31).

The remaining recordable 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 name a track while recording over an existing track. Tracks created through editing may exhibit sound dropout as you are searching for a point while monitoring the sound. Some tracks cannot be combined with others Tracks may not be combined if they have been edited. Track numbers are not marked correctly Incorrect assignment or marking of track numbers may result when CD tracks are divided into several smaller tracks during digital recording. Also, when the Automatic Track Marking is activated during recording, track numbers may not be marked as in the original, depending on the program source. “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 already been used.

System limitations/Troubleshooting Additional Information The correct recorded/playing time may not be displayed during play of MDs recorded in monaural mode. Digital audio components, such as CDs, MDs, and DATs, make it easy to produce high-quality copies of music by processing music as a digital signal. To protect copyrighted music sources, this deck uses the Serial Copy Management System, which allows you to make only a single copy of a digitally recorded source through digital-to-digital connections. You can make only a first-generation copy

through a digital-to-digital connection. Examples are as follows:

You can make a copy of a commercially available digital sound program (for example, a CD or MD), but you cannot make a second copy from the first- generation copy.

You can make a copy of a digital signal from a digitally recorded analog sound program (for example, an analog record or a music cassette tape) or from a digital satellite broadcast program, but you cannot make a second copy from the first-generation copy.

1) A first-generation copy means the first recording of a digital

audio source through the deck’s digital input connector. For example, if you record from a CD player connected to the DIGITAL IN connector, that copy is a first-generation copy. Note The restrictions of the Serial Copy Management System do not apply when you make a recording through the analog-to-analog connections. 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 dirty or damaged. Replace the MD. The deck does not play.

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 to turn on the deck.

The deck may not be connected to the amplifier correctly. Check the connection (page 11).

The MD is inserted in the wrong direction. Slide the MD into the disc slot with the label side up and the arrow pointing toward the slot (page 4).

The MD may not be recorded. Replace the disc with one that has been recorded. 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 deck does not record.

The MD is record-protected. Slide the record-protect tab and close the slot (page 15).

The deck is not connected properly to the program source. Check the connection (page 11).

Select the correct program source using INPUT.

The recording level is not adjusted properly. Adjust the recording level (page 17).

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 (page 31).

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 perform Synchro-recording with a CD player or video CD player.

The remote supplied with the MD deck is not set correctly. Reset the remote. A message and a three- or five-digit alphanumeric code alternate in the display.

The Self-diagnosis function is on (page 53). The keyboard does not operate.

Disconnect the keyboard, then re-connect it. Note If the deck does not operate properly even after you have attempted the prescribed remedies, turn off the deck, then re- insert the plug into the power outlet. Guide to the Serial Copy Management System53

Self-diagnosis function Additional Information Self-diagnosis function The deck’s self-diagnosis function automatically checks the condition of the MD deck when an error occurs, then issues a three- or five-digit code and an error message on the display. If the code and message alternate, find them in the following table and perform the indicated countermeasure. Should the problem persist, consult your nearest Sony dealer. Three- or five- digit code/ Message Cause/Remedy C11/Protected The inserted MD is record-protected.

Take out the MD and close the record- protect slot (page 15). C12/Cannot Copy You tried to record a CD with a format that the external device connected to the deck does not support, such as CD-ROM or video CD.

Remove the disc and insert a music CD. C13/REC Error The recording was not made properly.

Set the deck in a stable surface, and repeat the recording procedure. The inserted MD is dirty (with smudges, fingerprints, etc.), scratched, or substandard in quality.

Replace the disc and repeat the recording procedure. C13/Read Error The deck could not read the TOC on the MD properly.

Take out the MD and insert it again. C14/Toc Error The deck could not read the TOC on the MD properly.

If possible, erase all the tracks on the MD (page 32). C41/Cannot Copy The sound source is a copy of commercially available music software, or you tried to record a CD-R (Recordable CD).

The Serial Copy Management System prevents making a digital copy (page 52). You cannot record a CD-R. C71/Din Unlock The sporadic appearance of this message is caused by the digital signal being recorded. This will not affect the recording. While recording from a digital component connected through the DIGITAL IN connector, the digital connecting cable was unplugged or the digital component turned off.

Connect the cable or turn the digital component back on. E0001/ MEMORY NG There is an error in the internal data that the deck needs in order to operate.

Consult your nearest Sony dealer. E0101/ LASER NG There is a problem with the optical pickup.

The optical pickup may have failed. Consult your nearest Sony dealer. Three- or five- digit code/ Message Cause/Remedy54
