Notes:

●When making important recordings, it is recommended that you use the AC adaptor. A fully charged rechargeable battery or alkaline batteries should be loaded into the unit. Then, even if a power failure occurs, the power source will switch over to the battery automatically.

●When using the rechargeable battery or the alkaline batteries, if the volume level is set to “0”, the battery consumption will be less than when listening to the recording whilst it is being made.

●Insert each plug firmly. If the connections are poor, the recording may not be made properly. Always keep the plugs clean. If the plugs are dirty, electrical noise may be recorded.

■Types of discs

There are two types of discs: playback-only and recordable discs.

●Recordable MiniDisc:

This is a “raw disc” on which recording can be performed.

This is a magneto-optical disc. Recordings are made using a laser and a modulated magnetic field. Repeated recording is possible.

Shutters can be seen on both sides of this type of disc.

■To prevent recorded discs from being erased accidentally

Slide the accidental erase prevention tab, located on the side of the disc, in the direction indicated by the arrow.

●The disc will then be protected against accidental erasure.

●Playback-only MiniDisc:

This type of MiniDisc usually contains commercially available pre-recorded music. This is the same kind of optical disc as CDs.

Playback is performed using an optical pickup.

(Recording and editing are not possible.)

There will only be a shutter on one side (the back).

Protected against accidental erasure

●To add a recording to such a disc, slide the accidental erase prevention tab back to its original position.
