• Install the unit in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent internal heat built-up in the units.

• Leave sufficient distance between the unit and a TV.

DO NOT install the units in a location near heat sources, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, excessive dust or vibration.

• The power source of this unit is controlled by FS-G6’s system operation. Refer to its Instructions.

• When connecting the unit to the FS-G6, make sure to unplug the AC power cord of the FS-G6 from the wall outlet.

Gives you information and hints you had better know.

Moisture condensation

Moisture may condense inside the unit in the following cases:

• After starting heating in the room

• In a damp room

Should this occur, the system may malfunction. In this case, leave the unit turned on for a few hours until the moisture evaporates, unplug the AC power cord, and then plug it in again.

DO NOT disassemble the unit since there are no user serviceable parts inside.

If anything goes wrong, unplug the AC power cord and consult your dealer.

Recording onto an MD

Things to Know Before You Start Recording

• It should be noted that it may be unlawful to pre-recorded tapes, records, or discs without the consent of the owner of copy right in the sound or video recording, broadcast or cable program and in any literary, dramatic, or artistic embodied therein.

• The sampling frequency rate converter built in the MD recorder allows you to record a digital source if its sampling frequency is 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz. If no source equipment is connected to the AUX terminal or if the sampling frequency of the connected equipment is not 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, or 48 kHz, “DIGITAL

UNLOCK” appears in the display window (no recording is possible).

• When you record onto partially recorded MD, its contents are not erased or overwritten. The recording starts from the point following the last recorded track of the MD.

If you want to record on such an MD from the beginning, you have to erase its contents first (see “ALL ERASE

Function” on page 23).

• The recording level is automatically set correctly, so it is not affected by the VOLUME dial. Thus, during recording you can adjust the sound you are actually listening to without affecting the recording level.

About the track marks

When playing an MD, you can move among the tracks using MULTI JOG dial or < / > button quickly, and

4 / ¢ or UP/DOWN button step by step.

You can do this because there is a mark recorded at the beginning of each track enabling you to locate the track. This mark is called a “track mark” and the portion between two adjacent track marks is called a

“track.”

• When recording from a digital source such as a

CD player, a track mark is recorded automatically at the beginning of each track.

• When recording from an analog source such as

FM/AM broadcasts, no track mark is recorded on the MD. This means that, when playing this MD, the MD recorder will regard the entire recording as one track (track 1). You will not be able to select directly a certain portion or navigate through them.

However, if there is a blank of three seconds or more, the MD recorder will consider it as a blank separating

2 tracks and consequently put a track mark.

To put a track mark manually while recording an

analog source, press SET button where you want to put a track mark.

To add a track mark after recording is over, you can use the DIVIDE function (see page 20).

To avoid erasing important recordings

Recordable MDs have an erasure protect tab so that important recordings are not accidentally erased. When you finish recording or editing, slide open the erasure protect tab on the cartridge side surface. New recording or editing is now no longer possible.

To do re-recording or editing, return the tab to the closed position.

An erasure protect tab closed open

Handling MDs

MD Handling Precautions

To maintain high quality audio for a long period

Since the disc is accommodated inside a cartridge, it can be handled easily without caring about dust and dirt. However, to maintain the high audio quality for an extended period, use care in the following points.

Installation location

Do not install the MD in following places.

• In a place subject to direct sunlight or where the temperature rises, for example in a closed automobile.

The disc may be warped and unusable in these places.

• In a bathroom or where the humidity is high. The disc may be rusted in these places.

• On a beach or sandbox. The disc surface may be scratched or damaged if grit penetrates through an opening on the cartridge.

Periodical maintenance

When the cartridge gets dusty or dirty, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.

Do not open the shutter.

The shutter is usually locked to prevent opening. Do not force it open or the disc may be destroyed.

Additional Information

MD Disc Types

There are two types of MDs: Premastered (prerecorded) and Recordable (blank).

Premastered MDs

Premastered MDs, which have been recorded at music studio, can be played back like regular CDs. On an MD of this type, data is recorded as the presence or absence of tiny pits. A laser beam focuses on the pits on the surface of the MD and reflects the detection back to the lens in the MD recorder. The MD recorder then decodes the signals and plays them back as music. This type of MD is called an “optical disc.”

Recordable MDs

Recordable MDs, which use magneto-optical technology, can be recorded and played back repeatedly. The laser inside the MD recorder applies heat to the MD, demagnetizing the magnetic layer of the MD for recording and playback. This type of MD is called “magnetic-optical disc.”

Sound Cruise

Premastered MD Recordable MD

ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding)

The MD provides 80 (max.) minutes recording and playback time, more than that of an audio CD, but in a diameter of only 64 mm. This ability to store such a large amount of data is the result of ATRAC, an audio compression technique developed for MD. This technology cuts out faint sounds that would not be heard by the human beings. This technology, based on human sensitivity to sounds, reduces recorded data volume up to about one-fifth of that of the original data.

UTOC (User Table Of Contents)

Found only on recordable MDs, this area contains sub-data (track number, recording data, etc.) which can be rewritten by the user.

UTOC enables us to search tracks quickly and edit tracks on the MD.

Serial Copy Management System (SCMS)

The MD recorder integrated to this unit uses the Serial Copy Management System which allows only first-generation digital copies to be made of premastered software (like CDs or prerecorded MDs).

Sound Skip Guard Memory

The biggest weakness of discs is their susceptibility to vibration. The “Sound Skip Guard Memory” has been developed to cope with this weakness.

With this function, a few seconds of signals read by the optical read head from the disc are first stored in memory before being reproduced as audio signals. Thus, even when vibration or shock interrupts signals being read, these stored signals can continue to reproduce sounds for the few seconds. Thus, the user will enjoy uninterrupted music.

MD Restrictions

The MD records data in an original format that differs from that of conventional cassette tapes or DATs. Since there are some limitations with this recording format, the following types of symptoms may occur. These symptoms are not malfunctions.

Symptoms

“DISC FULL” appears, even though there is still enough remaining time on an MD.

“DISC FULL” appears even though the number of tracks and recording time do not reach the limit.

The JOIN function sometimes does not work.

The remaining time on the MD does not increase even when tracks are erased.

The sound drops out during fast forward or fast rewind.

The amount of recorded time on the MD added to the amount of remaining time is shorter than the MD’s total possible recording time.

Cause

There is a maximum number of tracks which can be recorded, regardless of recording time. More than 254 tracks cannot be recorded on an MD.

• Repeating erasure and recording on the same MD creates many blank portions sparsely on the MD.

When recording on such an MD, a track is recorded on these blank portions sparsely. If a track is divided and recorded into so many portions, “DISC FULL” appears.

• If a divided portion of less than 8 seconds is made while a track is recorded on the MD, that track cannot be joined to another track using the JOIN function.

Furthermore, if that track is erased, the remaining time of the MD may not increase exactly by the erased amount.

• If a track has been divided into many portions while being recorded on the MD, sounds will drop out while fast forwarding or reversing such an MD.

You cannot record on a blank portion of less than 2 seconds in the MD. For this reason, the actual recording time of discs may become shorter.
