The meaning of "no sound"
"No sound" descrives a recorder condition in which the input level is about 4.8 mV during analog input
or less than –89 dB during optical (digital) input (with 0 dB as full bit (the maximum recordable level
for a MiniDisc)).
Note on digital recording
This recorder uses the Serial Copy Management System, which allows only first-generation digital
copies to be made from premastered software. You can only make copies from a home-recorded MD by
using the analog (line out) connections.
Premastered software such as CDs or

Restrictions on the editing of tracks checked out from your
computer
This unit was designed so that editing functions (i.e., erasing tracks, adding track marks, and
erasing track marks) do not function for tracks that have been checked out from your computer.
This is to prevent the loss of check-in authorization by the checked-out tracks. To edit these
tracks, first check them back into the computer, and then edit them on the computer.
About the DSP TYPE-S for ATRAC/ATRAC3
This recorder supports DSP TYPE-S, a specification for high-level Sony MiniDisc decks
equipped with digital signal processors (DSP). This specification allows the recorder to produce
high-quality sound from tracks recorded in MDLP mode. Since it retains DSP TYPE-R support,
the recorder produces superior results during recording or playback in SP (normal stereo) mode.
Suppressing the skips of the sound (G-PROTECTION)
The G-PROTECTION function was developed to provide a higher level of shock resistance than
that of existing players.
