Rules of Digital Dubbing

The following rules regarding copyright exist for dubbing to MDs from CDs or DATs through digital terminals.

SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)

Minidiscs can record clear sound with low loss of quality from CDs or DATs through each component’s digital input/output terminal. However, minidiscs are set up so that a disc recorded in this way cannot be recorded onto another minidisc through digital input/output terminals. In other words, you can not make a copy of a copy. This rule is called SCMS (Serial Copy Management System).

The recorder is designed in compliance with this rule. If you try to make a copy of a copy the error message “SCMS CANNOT COPY” is displayed, and dubbing can not be done.

OKNO

DIGITALDIGITAL

It may be unlawful to record or play back copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright owner.

Care And Maintenance

Handle your CDs and MDs carefully, and they will last a long time.

Compact Discs

• Only CDs bearing this mark can be used with this System. However, continued use of irregu- larly shaped CDs (heart-shape, octagonal, etc.) can damage the System.

Remove the CD from its case by holding it at

the edges while pressing the case’s center hole lightly.

Do not touch the shiny surface of the CD, or bend the CD.

Put the CD back in its case after use to prevent

warping.

Be careful not to scratch the surface of the CD when placing it back in the case.

Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, temperature extremes, and moisture.

• A dirty CD may not play correctly. If a CD does become dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth in a straight line from center to edge.

CAUTION: Do not use any solvent (for example, conventional record cleaner, spray thinner, ben- zine, etc.) to clean a CD.

MDs (Minidiscs)

Do not open the shutter. Since the shutter is locked to prevent it from opening, forcing it to open will break the disc.

Moisture Condensation

Moisture may condense on the lens inside the System in the following cases:

• After turning on heating in the room.

In a damp room.

If the System is brought directly from a cold to a warm place.

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

General Notes

In general, you will have the best performance by keeping your CDs, MDs, and the mechanism clean.

Store CDs and MDs in their cases, and keep them in cabinets or on shelves.

Keep the system’s CD cover closed when not in use.

Cleaning the lens

If the lens in the CD pickup is dirty, dropout, etc., could degrade sound.

Open the CD cover and clean the lens as shown.

Use a blower (available from a camera store) to blow dust off the lens.

Blower

Lens

If there are fingerprints, etc. on the lens, gently wipe clean with a cotton swab.
