Notes

• If you press CHARGE (x) immediately after charging has completed,

charging will begin again. If this happens, press CHARGE (x) again to stop

the charging operation since the battery is already fully charged.

• B

e sure to use the supplied AC power adaptor.

• Charging time may vary depending on the battery condition.

• When a rechargeable battery is charged for the first time or charged after a

long period of disuse, battery life may be shorter than usual. Repeat

discharging and recharging a few times. The battery life should return to

normal.

• When the battery life of a fully charged rechargeable battery becomes about

half the normal life, replace it.

• When carrying the rechargeable battery, keep it in the supplied battery

carrying case. It is dangerous to carry the battery out of the case in your

pocket or a bag together with metallic objects such as key rings, as this may

cause a short circuit.

• Remove the rechargeable battery from the recorder when it is not to be used

for a long time.

Recording an MD right away!

Connect to a digital source using an optical cable (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. To record from an

analog source, see “Recording with analog input (line cable

required)” (page 24). To record from an MD, see “Note on digital

recording” (page 62). Using the AC power adaptor (supplied) is

recommended for recording.

Note that you cannot record a radio broadcast that is

being received on the remote control.

About the DSP TYPE-R for ATRAC

“TYPE-R” is a high-level Sony specification used in the Digital Signal

Processor (DSP), which is heart of the MiniDisc sound. This technology gives

the MiniDisc recorder twice the signal processing capability as previous

MiniDisc Walkman models, producing a sound quality close to that of

MiniDisc decks. This unit supports the “TYPE-R” function only during

recording or playback in normal stereo mode. It does not support this function

in MDLP mode.

Notes

• 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.

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

• When recording from a portable CD player, set the CD player to pause, and

then do the recording procedure on the recorder.

• Note the following when recording from a portable CD player:

—Some portable CD players may not be capable of digital out unless

powered by the AC power.

—Connect the AC power adaptor to the portable CD player and use it on AC

power as the power source.

—Disable any anti-skip function (such as ESP*) on the portable CD player.

∗ Electronic Shock Protection

z

• LINE IN (OPTICAL) jack is for both digital and analog input. The recorder

automatically recognizes the type of line cable and switches to digital or

analog input.

• The level of the recorded sound is adjusted automatically.

• You can monitor the sound during recording. Connect the supplied

headphones/earphones with remote control to i and adjust the volume by

pressing VOL +/–. This does not affect the recording level.
