Operating Instructions

Welcome!

Welcome to the world of the MiniDisc! Here are some of the capabilities and features you'll discover with the new MiniDisc Recorder.

• Recording MD Walkman in an ultracompact body — Almost as small as a playback-only MD Walkman; easy to carry in your pocket or bag.
• Ultra-light body (MZ-R90) — Magnesium lid for extra lightness.
• Ultra-compact body (MZ-R91) — Fashionable design and colors.
• Low power consumption design — Less drain and longer service life for the rechargeable battery.
• 9-letter, backlit LCD remote control with editing capabilities — You can now label tracks and discs, change track sequence, etc., with the easy-to-operate stick remote controller.
• Simultaneous labeling feature — No more waiting for the recording to end; you can label tracks and discs while the MD is being recorded.
• Phrase bank function — Phrases that you often use in track or disc names can be stored in the recorder's memory and retrieved whenever you need them.
• Copying CD Text - If you use a CD text connecting cord (not supplied) to connect a Joint Text-compatible portable CD player to the recorder, CD text data (such as track and disc names) on the CD that is compatible to CD-TEXT display will be recorded automatically during recording.
• Shock-resistant memory — Offsets up to 40 seconds of optical read errors.
• High-fidelity recording — Low-noise, low-distortion, high-fidelity recording through the optical digital input jack.

• Digital synchro-recording — When recording from a digital equipment with optical output, the recorder automatically starts and pauses recording in sync with operation on the digital source.

• Digital REC level control.

• Long recording with monaural sound — You can record up to 160 minutes (when using 80 minutes recordable MD) on a disc using monaural recording.
• Date and time stamp function — The built-in clock automatically records the date and time whenever you make a recording.
• Digital AGC (Auto Gain Control) — Automatic recording level adjustment without sacrificing superb digital sound.

This manual is for models MZ-R90 and MZ-R91

The MZ-R90 appears in the instructions for illustration purposes. Though they differ in appearance, the models share the same functions and are operated in the same way.

How to use the jog lever

The jog lever can be used to perform various operations during playback, recording, and editing, as well as when the recorder is stopped. Flip the jog lever to select an item in the display. Then press the jog lever to enter your selection.

About the LINE OUT jack on the recorder.

The parameter ("AUDIO OUT") for the / LINE OUT jack must be set to "HeadPhone" if you want to connect headphones other than the supplied set, or to "LINE OUT" if you want to connect another component to the recorder through a line cable. There is no need to make this when using the supplied headphones with remote control since it is done automatically.

To set the "AUDIO OUT" parameter for the / LINE OUT jack, do the following procedure:

1 Press the jog lever, flip until "AUDIO OUT" flashes in the display, and then press the lever again.
2 Flip the jog lever until "HeadPhone" or "LINE OUT" flashes in the display.
3 Press the jog lever when the item you want to select is flashing.

Notes

• When the "AUDIO OUT" parameter is set to "LINE OUT", the VOL +/- buttons and the Mega Bass function become inoperative. To make them operative, set the "AUDIO OUT" parameter to "HeadPhone".
• The "AUDIO OUT" parameter is automatically set to "HeadPhone" when you turn off the power.

Recording an MD right away!

See the illustrations in the Japanese text (pages 10 and 11).

Use a line cable (not supplied) to hook up an analog source. The sound will be sent from the connected equipment as analog signal but will be recorded digitally on the disc. If you want to record programs from digital equipments or a microphone, see "Various ways of recording."

Premastered MDs cannot be recorded over.

1 Make connections. (Insert the cables firmly and completely into the appropriate jacks.)

① Connect the LINE IN (OPTICAL) jack of recorder to the LINE OUT R(red)/L (white) jacks of the source with a line cable. The recorder switches to analog input automatically.
② Connect the DC IN 3V jack of the recorder to a wall outlet with the supplied AC power adaptor.

When the recorder has different sound sources connected at the same time, the recorder switches to the digital, microphone, or analog input in this order of priority.

2 Insert a recordable MD.

① Slide OPEN to open the lid.
② Insert a recordable MD with the label side facing up, and press the lid down to close.

3 Select recording start point.

If you want to add a recording to the end of the previous recording, press END SEARCH.

(If you want to start recording from the beginning, skip this step).

4 Start recording.

① Slide REC to the right.

"REC" lights up and recording starts.

② Play the sound source.

The level of the recorded sound is adjusted automatically.

To stop recording, press ■.

After you press, the recorder will automatically turn off in about 10 seconds (when using batteries) or about 5 minutes (when using AC power adaptor).

Notes

• Do not move or jog the recorder or disconnect the power source while the "Data Save" or "TOC Edit" indication is flashing in the display.
• The lid does not open until "TOC Edit" disappears in the display.

2) Once you open the lid, the point to start recording will change to the beginning of the first track. When recording on a recorded MD, check the point to start recording on the display.

If the recording does not start

• Make sure the MD is not record-protected.
• Make sure the recorder is not locked.
• Premastered MDs cannot be recorded over.

Note

If the power supply is disrupted (i.e. the battery is removed or becomes exhausted or the AC power adaptor is disconnected) during a recording or editing operation, or while "TOC Edit" appears in the display, then it will not be possible to open the lid until power is restored.

Various ways of recording

Connecting digital (optical) and analog (line) inputs

The recorder selects digital or analog input according to how the sound source is hooked up.

Input Difference	Digital (optical) input	Analog (line) input
Connectable source	Equipment with an digital (optical) output jack	Equipment with an analog (line) output jack
Usable cord	Optical cable (with an optical or an optical-mini plug)	Line cable (with 2 phono plugs or a stereo-mini plug)
Signal from the source	Digital	Analog Even when a digital source (such as a CD) is connected, the signal sent to the recorder is analog.
Recorded track numbers	Marked (copied) automatically •at the same positions as the source. •after more than 2 seconds of silence1). •when recording is paused.	Marked •after more than 2 seconds of silence. •when recording is paused. You can erase unnecessary marks after recording.
Recorded sound level	Same as the source. You can also adjust it manually (Digital REC level control).	Adjusted auto-matically. You can also adjust it manually.

1) When recording a CD or an MD, track numbers are automatically marked in the order of the original disc.

Recording with digital(optical) input (optical cable required)

See the illustration in Japanese text (page 16.

Connect to a digital source using an optical cable (POC-5B or POC-5AB, not supplied) to make digital recordings. Digital recording is possible even from digital equipment with different sampling rates, such as a DAT deck or a BS tuner, using the built-in sampling rate converter.
