Maintenance

Cleaning

Unplug this appliance from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use volatile solvents such as alcohol, paint thinner, gasoline, or benzine, etc. to clean the cabinet. Use a clean dry cloth.

Caution against contact revitalizer

Do not use contact cleaners because it could cause a malfunction. Be specially careful against contact cleaners containing oil, for they may deform the plastic componente.

Unplug power cord

Reference notes

Beware of condensation

When water vapor comes into contact with the surface of cold material, water drops are produced.

If condensation occurs, correct operation may not be possible, or the unit may not function correctly.

This is not a malfunction, however, the unit should be dried.

(To do this, turn the POWER switch ON and leave the unit as it is for several hours.)

Memory backup

The typical period for which the memory can be backed up while the power cord is unplugged or the POWER key is set to the OFF position is about 3 weeks, though this may be variable depending on the surrounding environment.

In case of long hours of power failure or slipping out of the power cord, the data related to recording and editing (that is usually recorded at the moment the Mini Disc is ejected) may be cleared or destroyed before it is written in the Mini Disc. Remember that the data lost cannot be recovered.

After recording or editing, be sure to eject the Mini Disc so that the recording or editing data can be written in the disc.

CD TEXT

CD TEXT is a system that is standardized to allow the display of text data (disc name or song title, artist name etc.) that is recorded on CDs in addition to music.

By digitally connecting this unit with a CD player (CD TEXT compatible), the text data of a CD can be copied to an MD.

Presently (1997), however, some CDs are equipped with a copy prevention code that prohibits the copying of this data. In the case of such CDs, copying of text data is not possible.

On CDs that do not include the text data copy prevention code, the

operation of “CD text editing” is possible.
