Handling of discs

Disc handling precautions

Handling

Hold compact discs so that you do not touch the playing surface.

Do not attach paper or tape to either the playing side or the label side of compact discs.

The paste left on the label surface after a sticker has been peeled off is a factor which may cause malfunction. If the surface is sticky due to remaining paste, be sure to clean it with alcohol before use.

Cleaning

If fingerprints or foreign matter become attached to the disc, lightly wipe the disc with a soft cotton cloth (or similar) from the center of the disc outwards in a radial manner.

Storage

When a disc is not to be played for a long period of time, remove it from the CD player and store it in its case.

Discs which can be played with this unit

CD (12 cm, 8 cm), CDV (only the audio part)

|With CD-G (CD Graphics) discs, this unit can play only the audio.

CD accessories

The CD accessories (stabilizer, protection sheet, protection ring, etc.) which are marketed for improving the sound quality or protecting discs as well as the disc cleaner should not be used with this system because they may cause malfunction.

Caution on disc used

Never play cracked or warped disc.

During playback, the disc rotates at high speed in the player. Therefore, to avoid malfunction, never use a cracked or deformed disc or a disc repaired with tape or adhesive agent.

Handling of Mini Disc

As the Mini Disc is accommodated inside a cartridge, it can be handled without caring about dust or fingerprint. However, stained or soiled cartridge may cause malfunction. To enjoy beautiful sound for extended period of time, take care on the following points.

Do not touch the disc directly.

Do not touch the disc by opening the shutter with your hand. The cartridge will be damaged if it is forced open.

Storage position

Do not leave Mini Discs in place where the temperature and/or humidity are extremely high (for example, in a place subject to direct sunlight).

Dust countermeasure

The shutter of the disc cartridge is permanently open while the disc is loaded in the set. Therefore, to prevent dust from penetrating inside the disc, take the disc out of the unit immediately after completion of recording or playback.

Care

Wipe periodically dust and dirt attached on the cartridge with a dry cloth.

Write protect tab

To protect recorded contents against accidental erasure, set the write protect tab of the disc open. Return the tab to the original position when you want to record signals on the disc.

To be able to listen to the desired information at any time

By using the EON function, which manages the information of other stations, listening to desired information like traffic information or news etc. can be reserved even when it is not being transmitted at the present. When listening to a station with the "EON" display lit and another station of the same network starts to broadcast an information program for which a reservation has been made, then that station will be selected automatically. When the desired information program ends, return is made to the original program.

Set the reception band to FM.

1 Auto preset the stations.

① Receive a broadcast.

②Keep the ENTER key pressed (2 sec or longer).

The EON data presently being broadcasted are taken in automatically.

This is not required when auto presetting has already been executed. ∞

When all 40 stations have already been preset by the procedure for "One-by-one presetting (manual preset)", the EON function will not operate. Auto presetting must be used.

2 Select the desired information.

Each press switches the modes as follows.

Please execute automatic presetting when TA, NEWS, and INFO cannot be selected.

3 Receive an RDS station.

Select a station where "RDS" and "EON" are lit.

"RDS" and "EON" are lit.

When "EON" does not light although an RDS station is received, that station is not transmitting EON data. Please select a different station.

When TA is desired, select a station where the "TP" display lights.

XD-9580MD (En)

Line drawing of various household electronic devices including speakers, washing machines, and a remote control unit (no text or symbols)

Wait for the desired information.

CD or MD playback may also be started. As long as the unit is ON, the unit is always ready for the reception.

When one of the stations of the network of the station received in 3 starts broadcasting the program contents selected in 2, that station will be received automatically. At this time, MD playback and CD playback will pause. However, external equipment (AUX, TAPE) will remain as it is.

When the unit is OFF and during recording (including dubbing), the EON function does not operate.

When the transmission of the selected program contents ends in case of automatic reception with the EON function, return will be made to the status directly before operation of the EON function. When MD or CD playback has been interrupted, it will be continued from the point of interruption.

In case of waiting for information with an RDS station without EON function

When there is no "EON" display with the operations of steps ③ and ④ and the desired information is selected in advance, waiting for the desired information will be done only with the presently received RDS station.

In regard to TP (Traffic Program) indicator

When the "TP" indicator is lit, this indicates that the station or another station in the same network is broadcasting traffic information. Even without an EON reservation, traffic information can be heard from the station when "TP" indicator is lit for the presently received station.

Selection of the recording type

This chapter explains also the cassette deck recording functions under consideration of combination with the cassette deck X-H9 (option).

Many convenient recording functions have been provided. Please select them according to the application.

MD system

The Mini Disc system has the features as summarized in the following.

①Like CD (Compact Disc), playback can be started from any position. (Random access)
②It uses a disc with a diameter of 64 mm that is accommodated in a cartridge.
③ Two types of discs can be used.
④ Up to 74 minutes of recording or playback is possible using high-efficiency coding technology.
⑤ Countermeasure against vibration is taken using semiconductor memory chip.

Two Mini Disc types

There are two types of Mini Disc, the one designed exclusively for playback and the other which is both recordable and playable.

Playback-only Mini Disc

This type of MD can be used only for playback, and is used by the commercially-available music MD software packages. The playback-only MD is an optical disc like the Compact Disc (CD). The signals are recorded as the presence or absence of small pits and read out by an optical, non-contact pickup.

High-efficiency coding technology "ATRAC"

The Mini Disc has only a half the size of the Compact Disc but provides the same recording time. This is made possible by ATRAC*, a newly developed high-efficiency coding technology.

* ATRAC: Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding

The ATRAC compresses the music data to about 1/5 the amount of data which would be obtained with conventional technology, by cutting off the sound components which do not pose problem in audition even when they are not present. This has made it possible to record or play up to 74 minutes.

Sound does not affect the sensitivity of ears

Lowest and highest frequencies are not audible unless the sound has a certain level of volume.

Small sound near large sound

A small sound is not audible to human ears if it is produced at the same time as a large sound. (Masking effect)

Illustration of a speaker emitting sound waves with musical notes and clock (no text or symbols)

Recordable Mini Disc

This MD is a magneto-optical disc which can be recorded by magnetic field modulation. To record signals, laser light is irradiated from the bottom side of the magneto-optical disc and magnetic field is applied from the upper side of it.

Sound-skip prevention memory

During playback, this unit always stores signals in memory temporarily to prevent sound from being skipped in case of vibration. As a result, even when the data from the optical pickup is interrupted due to vibration, etc., the music will not be interrupted because the memory holds the data for several seconds.

During normal playback

The sound data for several seconds is always stored during playback.

In case of vibration

Even when the read-out from disc is interrupted momentarily due to vibration or shock, the reproduced sound from the memory will not be interrupted.

XD-9580MD (En)

Digital recording and SCMS

The Mini Disc cannot record digital input signals from all sources. Note that digital recording is not possible with the following case.

In case the source contains the copy prohibit code (SCMS - Serial Copy Management System).

— "001 SCMS" is displayed and the unit enters the record-pause mode.

SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)

Designed for copyright protection, the SCMS is a prescription that copying of digital signals as they are in the digital form between digital audio equipment is allowable only for one generation.

Symptoms related to MD standard

Symptom	Cause
“DISC FULL” is displayed while the disc still has a remaining recordable time.	More than 255 tracks (track No. 256 or more) cannot be recorded. (There may be also cases in which recording is impossible while the track number is less than 256.)In such a case, the REMAIN time display shows “0:00”.
The possible recording time does not increase even when a short track is erased.	When the remaining time of the entire disc is less than 12 sec, the remaining time indication on the display becomes “0:00”. When the total time of the deleted tracks exceeds 12 sec, the display changes to the recordable time.When a short track is deleted on a repeatedly edited disc, the remaining time may not increase.
Tracks can not be connected.	Connection of the track resulting from edit processing may not be possible.
The time which has been recorded on the MD and the remaining time do not add up to the maximum recording time (60 or 74 min.).	As recording is executed with 2 sec. as the minimum unit, the display time may not coincide.
When search is performed in a track which has been compiled by editing, the sound is sometimes interrupted.	This derives from the restriction in the MD system standard and not a malfunction.
The track numbers are not assigned correctly.	Depending on the contents of the recorded source (CD etc.), the track numbers may not be assigned correctly.The track number may be increased in case of dirt or scratches on the CD.
“DISC READING” is displayed for an abnormally long time.	When a new recordable MD (with nothing recorded) is inserted, “DISC READING” is displayed longer than usual.
The time display becomes inaccurate with a monaurally recorded disc.	Monaural recording and stereo recording are executed according to different formats. This is not a malfunction.
Input of 1792 title characters is not possible.	The title recording area is used in units of 7 characters, so that input of 1792 characters may not be possible.

Memory Backup for the MD Recorder Section

At the time of unit OFF (STANDBY), or when the power plug is pulled from the outlet, the memory contents will remain stored for about one day. In case of long power failures or long times with the plug pulled from the receptacle, the information in regard to recording or editing (recorded when the minidisc is removed) may be erased or destroyed) before recording on the minidisc. Once the information has disappeared, it can not be recovered.

After recording or editing, always remove the minidisc to record the recording or editing information.
