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.

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.

1 Connect the LINE IN (OPTICAL) jack of the recorder to the optical digital output jack of the source with an optical cable (not supplied). The recorder switches to digital input automatically.
2 Connect the power source. To use on AC power, see "Recording an MD right away!". To use on other power sources, see pages 72 and 73.
3 Insert a recordable MD. Slide OPEN to open the lid, insert a recordable MD, and close the lid.
4 Press and slide REC to the right. "REC" lights up and recording starts.
5 Play the sound source.

To stop recording, press ■.

Notes

• You can make a digital recording only from an optical type output.

  Even when there is no recorded sound on the sound source, there may be cases when recording does not pause automatically during synchro-recording due to the noise level emitted from the sound source.
• If a silent portion is encountered for 2 seconds or more during synchro-recording, a new track mark is automatically added at the point where the silent portion ends.
• Synchro-recording cannot be done if the connecting cord is not an optical cable, or if the cable is connected to the MIC (PLUG IN POWER) jack.
• You cannot adjust the recording level manually during synchro-recording.

Recording from a microphone
