Safety Precautions

Installation position
The MD recorder is very sensitive to vibrations. It should be installed
in a position subject to as small vibration as possible.
Dust countermeasure
The shutter of the disc cartridge is permanently open while the disc
is loaded in the set. Therefore, to prevent dust from penetrating inside
the disc, take the disc out of the unit immediately after completion of
recording or playback.
WARNING NOTICE:
IN MOST CASES IT IS AN INFRINGEMENT OF COPYRIGHT TO
MAKE COPIES OF TAPES OR DISCS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION
OF THE COPYRIGHT OWNERS. ANYONE WISHING TO COPY COM-
MERCIALLY AVAILABLE TAPES OR DISCS SHOULD CONTACT THE
MECHANICAL COPYRIGHT PROTECTION SOCIETY LIMITED OR
THE PERFORMING RIGHTS SOCIETY LIMITED.
Caution on condensation
Condensation (of dew) may occur inside the unit when there is a great
difference in temperature between this unit and the outside.
This unit may not function properly if condensation occurs. In this
case, leave the unit for a few hours with the power left ON, and restart
the operation after the condensation has dried up.
Be specially cautious against condensation in a following
circumstance:
When this unit is carried from a place to another across a large
difference in temperature, when the humidity in the room where this
unit is installed increases, etc.
Memory backup
The memory storage is held for about a day after the power cord has
been unplugged from the power outlet. In case the power supply has
stopped or the power cord has been left unplugged for an extended
period of time, the information related to recording and editing
(recorded at the moment a Mini Disc is ejected) may be cleared or
destroyed before it is recorded on the disc.
The lost information cannot be recovered later.
To ensure the recording of the recording and editing-related informa-
tion on the Mini Disc, be sure to eject the Mini Disc after every
recording or editing operation.

What is CD-TEXT?
CD-TEXT is a standard for display of character information (disc name,
track titles, artist names, etc.) recorded on a CD in addition to the
music. When this unit and a CD player (corresponding to CD-TEXT) are
connected by digital connection, the CD character information can be
copied to the MD.
However, as of 1997, some CDs contain a copy prohibition code, so
that the character information can not be copied. In such a case, the
character information will be displayed on the screen, but it can not
be copied.
"CD text edition" operation becomes possible for CDs without copy
prohibition code.
