Using the Net MD drive (depending on your model*)

Net MD is the next generation in MiniDisc technology. It further expands the MiniDisc format by allowing direct PC-to-MD ‘drag and drop’ transfers. The breakthrough with Net MD products is high speed transfer from your PC to MiniDisc, providing up to 32x speed transfer directly to the recorder. The title/track information you create in the jukebox will automatically be transferred to the Net MD recorder. Using your computer, you can transfer audio files, edit MiniDisc tracks, and more. The Net MD interface converts digital audio files into ATRAC or ATRAC3, so you can play MiniDiscs recorded with Net MD on other MiniDisc units.

Volume level when playing a MiniDisc

Your computer is preset to the optimal level for MiniDisc playback. The Windows® volume control is set to level 4, which means you can adjust the volume level as required, using just your external speakers. It is recommended that you leave this default volume control in Windows® as changing the settings could lead to unwanted distortion.

Inserting a MiniDisc
