< How to read the battery indicator >
When the battery is completely dis-
charged, the whole battery indicator will
flash. Recharge the battery or replace
the alkaline batteries with new ones.
When the battery has run completely
out, “BATT EMPTY” (main unit) and “Lo
BATT” (remote control unit) will appear.
Then, the power will be disconnected
automatically.
Notes:
When the AC adaptor included with this
unit or a separately available car adaptor
is used, the battery indicator will not be
shown.
The number of bars shown in the battery
indicator may increase or decrease, de-
pending on the operation being per-
formed. This is normal.
When the rechargeable battery and the
alkaline batteries are used at the same
time, the rechargeable battery is used first,
and then the alkaline batteries.
Since the battery indicator shows the re-
maining amount of the particular battery
being used, the number of bars will in-
crease when the unit switches to the alka-
line batteries.
CONVENIENT OPERATION OF THE UNIT

When the battery is
completely charged
When the battery needs charging, it is
impossible to start recording or editing.
RECORDING USING A SEPARATELY AVAILABLE DIGITAL
CABLE
There are cases where digital
recording may be impossible.
In the following cases digital recording is
impossible, even if you are using digital
cables.
When you attempt to make a new digital
recording from a track that was digitally
recorded on a MiniDisc
MiniDiscs are designed so that only
first generation digital copies can
made, further digital copies are pre-
vented by the SCMS (Serial Copy Man-
agement System).

Moisture condensation
In the following cases, condensation
may form inside the unit.
Shortly after turning on a heater.
When the unit is placed in a room
where there is excessive steam or
moisture.
When the unit is moved from a cool
place to a warm place.
When the unit has condensation inside,
the disc signals cannot be read, and the
unit may not function properly.
If this happens, remove the disc.
The condensation should evaporate in
approximately 1 hour. The unit will then
function properly.
