Thank you for buying this Pioneer product. Before starting to set up your new
minidisc recorder, please check that you've received the following supplied accessories
in the box:
· Optical digital cable
· Power cable
· Warranty card
· This instruction manual
Using this manual
This manual is for the MJ­L77 Minidisc Recorder. It is split into two sections, the first
covering set up, and the second, operation. Set up, which starts here, covers all aspects
of getting your new minidisc recorder up and running with the rest of your XC­L77
stereo system. If this is the first time you've used minidiscs, we recommend reading the
About Minidiscs section starting on the following page before using the recorder for
the first time.
In the second section of the manual, starting on page 10, you'll learn how to use all
the features of the MJ­L77, from basic playback to disc editing. The final part of the
manual provides reference information on error messages you might encounter
during use, a troubleshooting page, and technical specifications.
Hints on Installation
We want you to enjoy using the MJ­L77 for years to come, so please bear in mind the
following points when choosing a suitable location for it:
DO...
y
Use in a well-ventilated room.
y
Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or stereo rack.
DON'T...
y
Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or humidity, including near
radiators and other heat-generating appliances.
y
Place on a window sill or other place where the recorder will be exposed to
direct sunlight.
y
Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment.
y
Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component in your stereo
system that becomes hot in use.
y
Use near a television or monitor as you may experience interference--
especially if the television uses an indoor antenna.
y
Use in a kitchen or other room where the recorder may be exposed to smoke
or steam.
y
Place on an unstable surface, or one that is not large enough to support all
four of the unit's feet.
Avoiding condensation problems
Condensation may form inside the recorder if it is brought into a warm room from
outside, or if the temperature of the room rises quickly. Although the condensation
won't damage the recorder, it may temporarily impair its performance. For this reason
you should leave it to adjust to the warmer temperature for about an hour before
switching on and using.

Minidisc, or MD as it's usually called, is an extremely flexible and convenient format
on which you can both playback and record high-quality digital audio. Because it's a
disc, MD has many of the advantages of compact disc--you can jump directly to any
track on the disc, program the playing order, instantly skip over tracks you don't want
to play or back to tracks you want to play again, and so on. The really great thing
about MD though is the flexibility it offers when recording. Things that were
impossible using analogue cassette tape, such as reordering tracks, programming
track names, and deleting tracks without leaving any gaps are all easily achieved if
you're using MD. Minidiscs have other advantages over cassette tape; the recorder
automatically finds the next blank space to record on, and can tell you how much
room there is left on a disc before you start recording. When you delete something
from the disc, the time available for recording is automatically updated.
If this is the first time you've used MD, please take a few minutes to read through this
section of the manual. It gives information on how to handle the discs properly, the
different kinds of disc available, and some basic MD characteristics.
Different kinds of MD available
All MDs carry the MD logo shown at the top of the page. Do not use any disc which
does not have this mark.
There are both recordable and non-recordable (playback-only) MDs. Commercially
available music on MD generally comes on discs which are playback only. The
diagrams left show the differences between the two types.
Handling MDs
The actual disc that contains the audio is quite delicate and so is protected against
dust, fingerprints and so on by an outer cartridge. Don't force open the disc shutters to
expose the disc, and never touch the disc itself. Also, do not attempt to disassemble the
disc cartridge.
If the disc cartridge becomes dirty or stained, wipe clean with a soft, dry cloth.
Storing and labelling MDs
When you're not playing a minidisc, put the disc cartridge back in the case for storage.
Avoid storing or leaving discs in very hot or humid areas, such as in a car in summer.
Also avoid leaving discs in direct sunlight, or in places where sand or grit might get
into the disc cartridge.
Recordable MDs come with self-adhesive labels to stick on the disc cartridge to tell you
what's recorded on the disc. Always stick the label in the area provided, avoiding the
disc shutter and the edges of the disc.
If the disc label starts to peel off at the corners, remove the label and replace it with a
fresh one--don't simply stick another label on top of the old one.
