ª Handling MDs

The MiniDisc (MD) measures 64 mm in

diameter. Although the MD is housed in a

protective cartridge (68 mm x 72 mm x 5

mm) and can be handled easily, deck

malfunc-tions may result if the cartridge

gets dust on it or is damaged. To protect

the disc, always take the following

precautions:

… Be sure that the MD is taken out of the

deck and put back in its MD case after

using it.

… Do not touch the disc inside the

cartridge. Do not open the shutter to

expose the MD.

… Do not place MDs in direct sunlight, high

temperatures, or high levels of humidity.

… Use a dry, soft cloth to clean the

cartridge.

… When attaching a label to the MD

cartridge, be sure to apply it correctly to

the specified position. If the label is

rolled up or partially detached, the MD

cartridge may get stuck inside the deck.

… Do not place one label on top of another.

ª Memory back-up function

This unit is provided with a memory back-

up function. When you use the deck for the

first time, leave it on for about 5 minutes to

allow the back-up circuit to be charged

and become operational. When not using

the deck for a while, try to turn the power

on every 3 or 4 days.

ª Serial Copy Management System

This deck complies with the SCMS (Serial

Copy Management System). As a result, it

is not possible to digitally record from a

source MD which has been recorded

digitally.

Cartridge

Shutter

ª When "Protected !!" is

displayed

… A playback-only MD is loaded.

… The MD is record-protected against

accidental erasure. To make recording

(or editing) possible, slide the record-

protect tab to close the hole.

ª While "UTOC Writing" is

blinking:

"UTOC Writing" blinks while the MD is

being ejected after recording (or

editing). While it is blinking, the recorded

data is being written on the MD. Do not

pull out the power cord or vibrate the

deck. Otherwise the recorded data may

not be written correctly on the MD.

If the power is turned off with the MD

left in the deck (" " lights up)

after recording, the UTOC cannot be

recorded. Turn the power back on

within 3 or 4 days and eject the MD. The

recorded data might be lost if the MD is

left in the deck for a long time.

ª When "D-IN UNLOCK !" blinks

4. Select the recording mode following the

steps below:

The MD-350 is capable of recording and

playing back in standard stereo mode

(SP), monaural standard speed (MON),

double long-play (LP2) and quadruple

long-play (LP4) modes.

Recording an MD

Insert in the direction of

the arrow.

Hold the MD with the

label side up.

As the name suggests, LP2 provides

long-play facilities giving twice the

usual recording/playback time, and LP4

provides four times the usual

recording/playback time.

All modes are stereo, except for MONO,

when recording will be performed using

only the left (L) channel. "L" appears on

the level meter, but the output is sent to

both channels.

To select a mode (SP, MON, LP2 or LP4)

for recording:

a) With the unit in stop mode, press the

[EDIT/NO] button repeatedly until “REC

MODE?” is displayed.

in different modes (SP,MONO, LP2 and

LP4) on one disc.

… Also note that while the LP4 (quadruple

long-play) mode provides exceptional

recording time thanks to advanced

compression technology, very

occasionally you may hear some slight

noise, depending on the material being

recorded. We therefore recommend that

if sound quality is more important for

your recording project than recording

time, you use either the SP (stereo) or

LP2 (double long-play) mode.

… The maximum amount of time available

with monaural recording is twice that of

stereo recording.

Buttons used on this page

ª Indication of recording mode

System Restrictions

Because of the different recording systems

used by Compact Cassette, DAT, etc., the

MD (Mini Disc) is subjected to some

system restrictions. These restrictions may

result in the following problems. These are

normal and are not malfunctions.

… "Track Full" is displayed before the

available recording time expires.

"Track Full" is displayed whenever the

number of allowable tracks is reached,

regardless of the recording time still

available. With the MD system, it is not

possible to record more than 254 tracks.

If you want to record more tracks, erase

unnecessary tracks, record them on

another MD, or use the editing proce-

dure to combine existing tracks.

… "Track Full" is displayed even though

both the number of tracks and the

recording time have not been filled.

Whenever emphasis data or other

signal enhancements are switched on-

off in the middle of tracks, the track is

separated at that point and "Track Full"

may be displayed regardless of the

recording time and number of tracks.

… The remaining recording time of an MD

does not increase although you have

erased several tracks.

The remaining recording time display

ignores tracks shorter than 12 seconds.

Therefore, the time may not increase if

you have erased several short tracks.

… The total elapsed recording time and

remaining recording time does not

coincide with the available recording

time as calculated from the stated time

on the disc, and the recording mode.

The minimum unit for recording data is

usually 6 clusters (approx. 12 seconds).

Data of less than 12 seconds still uses

the 12-second space, so actual

available recording time becomes

shorter than rated. Also, if the MD is

scratched, the scratched sections are

automatically deleted and the time

available is decreased accordingly.
