These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur ina particular installation.

Premastered MOs, ‘recorded at music studios, can be played back almost endlessly. However, they can't be recorded on or over ike cassette tapes. To record, you use a “recordable MO”. Premastered MOS Premastered MDs are recorded and played ike regular CDs. ‘Alaser beam focuses on the pits in the surtace of the MD and reflects the data back to the lens in the recorder. The recorder then decodes the signals and plays them back as Recordable Ms Recordable MDs, which use magneto-optical (MO) technology, can be recorded again and again. The laser inside the recorder applies heat to the MD, demagnetizing the magnetic layer of the MD. (See illustration below.) The recorder then applies a magnetic field to the layer. This magnetic field corresponds exactly tothe audio signals ‘generated by the connected source. (The north and south polarities equate to digital "1" and “0”.) Fhe demagnetized MD adopts the polarity of the magnetic field, resulting in a recorded MO. @ Recording Mechanism Head O1ive Signal 4 Recording Head teregererane Magootic Fits Cross-Sectional View of : Fecorded Pattarn t Laser Beam i nen ore ‘Tho 25.inch MiniDisc, encased in a plastic canridge that looks lke a 3.5-inch diskette (see illustration below}, uses a ‘new digital audio compression technology called ATRAC (Adaptive TRanstorm Acoustic Coding). To store more sound inloss space, ATRAC extracts and encodes only those frequency components actually audible to the human ear. 1 Parts Making Up a MiniDisc Peta an) systems work Like CDs, MDs otf instantaneous random access to the beginning of any music rack Premastered MDs are recorded with lacation addresses corresponding to each music selection. Recordable MDs are manufactured with a “User TOC" Area" to contain the order of the music. The ‘TOC systems similar to the “directory management system” of loppy disks. In other words, starting and ending ‘addresses forall music racks recorded on the disc are stored in this area. This lets you randomly access the beginning of any track as soon as you enter the track ‘number (AMS), as well as label the location with a track fname as you would a fle on a diskette "TOC is the acronym for Table of Contents. ME a CR UML Leas Ee ‘One major drawback of optical read systems is that they can skip or mute when subjacted to vibration. The MD system resolves this problem by using a buffer memory that stores. Up to 10 seconds of audio data. This is possible because of a 1 second lag between the time audio data is picked up and when itis decoded (see illustration below). Should the optical pickup be jared out of position, the correct audio data plays {rom the butter memory. Using a concept called “sector repositioning," the optical pickup has the ability to within 13 miliseconds identity the disruption and resume reading trom the correct point. As long as the optical pickup returns to the ‘correct position within about 10 seconds, you never experience mistracking or muting 1 Shock-Resistant Memory System ‘When subjected tovication When playing ‘ormally ie = ES ATRAG. acoder Precautions ; On safety “As the laser beam used inthis unit is harmful tothe eyes, {do not attempt to disassemble tne cabinet, Refer servicing to qualified personne! only, + Should any solid abject oF liquid fall nto the unit, unplug the unit and have it checked by qualilied personnel before ‘operating it any further — i (On operation + the unit is brought directly from a cold to a warm location, cris placed in a very damp room, moisture may condense ‘nthe lenses inside the MiniDisc recorder, causing the MiniDisc recorder to operate improperly.
