This equipment has been tested and found to

comply with the limits for a Class B digital

device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against harmful

interference in a residential installation. This

equipment generates, uses, and can radiate

radio frequency energy and, if not installed

and used in accordance with the instructions,

may cause harmful interference to radio

communications. However, there is no

guarantee that interference will not occur in a

particular installation. If this equipment does

cause harmful interference to radio or

television reception, which can be determined

by turning the equipment off and on, the user

is encouraged to try to correct the interference

by one or more of the following measures:

— Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

— Increase the separation between the

equipment and receiver.

— Connect the equipment into an outlet on a

circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

— Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/

TV technician for help.

You are cautioned that any changes or

modifications not expressly approved in this

manual could void your authority to operate

this equipment.

CAUTION

The use of optical instruments with this

product will increase eye hazard.

Welcome !

Thank you for purchasing the Sony MiniDisc

Recorder. This unit lets you enjoy a variety of

features using the following controller

accessories:

Optional accessories

Rotary commander RM-X4S

Card remote commander RM-X91

In addition to the MD playback and radio

operations, you can expand your system by

connecting optional CD/MD units*1.

When you play a CD TEXT disc*2on a

connected optional CD unit with the CD TEXT

function, the CD TEXT information will appear

on the display.

*1You can connect MD changers, CD changers, MD

players, or CD players.

*2A CD TEXT disc is an audio CD that includes

information such as the disc name, artist name

and track names.

This information is recorded on the disc.

Precautions

•If your car was parked in direct sunlight

resulting in a considerable rise in

temperature inside the car, allow the unit to

cool off before operating it.

•If no power is being supplied to the unit,

check the connections first. If everything is in

order, check the fuse.

•If your car is equipped with a power

antenna, it will extend automatically while

the unit is operating.

•Do not use the CUSTOM FILE feature while

driving, or perform any other function which

could divert your attention from the road.

•Do not edit the MD while driving.

•Make sure that the vehicle’s battery and

charging system are functioning properly

prior to using Timer-off recording and the

REC Continue mode function. Under certain

unusual conditions, use of the Timer-off

recording and the REC Continue mode

function could cause the vehicle’s battery to

be discharged to a degree that would prevent

the vehicle from starting. For the maximum

current drain per connection, refer to the

“connection diagram” of the supplied

installation/connections.

•Be careful if your car is equipped with an

electric current detector-type car-alarm

system: when Timer-off recording or REC

Continue mode ends, the alarm may

mistakenly go off, detecting a change in the

car’s electrical current.

•When an optional TV/video unit is

connected, the monitor stays on during

Timer-off recording or REC Continue mode.

Turn the monitor off before leaving the car to

reduce the likelihood of battery drain or

theft.

If you have any questions or problems

concerning your unit that are not covered in

this manual, please consult your nearest Sony

dealer.

Notes on recording

If you are going to make a recording that

cannot be done over, it is recommended to

make a test recording before actual recording.

IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE

FOR ANY DIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR

CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE OF ANY

NATURE, OR LOSSES OR EXPENSES

RESULTING FROM ANY DEFECTIVE

PRODUCT OR THE USE OF ANY

PRODUCT.

Moisture condensation

On a rainy day or in a very damp area,

moisture may condense on the lenses inside

the unit. Should this occur, the unit will not

operate properly. In such a case, remove the

disc and wait for about an hour until the

moisture has evaporated.

To maintain high sound quality

If you have drink holders near your audio

equipment, be careful not to splash juice or

other soft drinks onto the unit and MD. Sugary

residues on the unit or MD may contaminate

the lenses inside the unit, reduce the sound

quality, or prevent sound reproduction

altogether.

Notes on MDs

Since the disc itself is housed in a cartridge,

free from accidental contact with your fingers

and dust, MDs can withstand a certain degree

of rough handling. However, dirt or dust on

the surface of the cartridge or a warped

cartridge may cause a malfunction. Observe

the following for best results.

Never touch the surface of the disc itself by

deliberately opening the shutter on the

cartridge.

When you eject the MD, the shutter may be

open. In such a case, close the shutter

immediately.

Do not expose the MD to direct sunlight or

heat sources such as hot-air ducts. Do not leave

it in a car parked in direct sunlight where there

can be a considerable rise in temperature.

Make sure the MD is not left on the dashboard

or rear tray of a car, etc. where the temperature

can also be excessive.

Notes on attaching labels

Be sure to attach labels on cartridges correctly,

as failing to do so may cause the MD to

become stuck in the unit.

•Attach the label in a suitable position.

•Remove old labels before putting new ones

on.

•Replace labels that are beginning to peel

away from the MD.

Cleaning

Wipe the surface of the cartridge from time to

time with a soft, dry cloth.

Protecting a recorded MD

To record-protect an MD, slide open the tab at

the side of the MD.

With the tab in this position, the MD cannot be

recorded on. To record on the MD, slide the

tab closed.

Slide open the tab.
