I purchased the unit from a private party and the original owners manual was not available. Having the ability to download it was extremely helpful and clarified operating the equipment immensely. This is a complicated unit and without the manual I would not have been able to maximize it's potential. Thank you.

� You should plug the headphones/earphones directly to i jack on the main unit. Use only headphones/earphones with stereo mini plugs. You cannot use headphones/ earphones with micro plugs.
What is an MD?
How MiniDisc works
MiniDisc (MD) comes in two types: premastered (prerecorded) and recordable (blank). Premastered MDs, recorded at music studios, can be played back almost endlessly. However, they can�t be recorded on or over like cassette tapes. To record, you must use a �recordable MD�. Premastered MDs Premastered MDs are recorded and played like regular CDs. A laser beam focuses on the pits in the surface of the MD and reflects the information back to the lens in the recorder. The recorder then decodes the signals and plays them back as music.

Recordable MDs Recordable MDs, which use magnetooptical (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. The recorder then applies a magnetic field to the layer. This magnetic field corresponds exactly to the audio signals generated by the connected source. (The north and south polarities equate to digital �1� and �0�.) The demagnetized MD adopts the polarity of the magnetic field, resulting in a recorded MD.
