Notes on recording
When “Tr” flashes in the display
during
recording
The MD deck is recording over existing track(s) (see
“Recording to an MD” on page 13). The indication stops
flashing when the deck reaches the end of the recorded
portion.
When “TOC” lights up in the display after
recording
Recording has finished but the TOC (Table of Contents)
on the MD has not been updated to reflect the recording
results. The recording will be lost if you disconnect the
AC power cord while the indication is on. The TOC will
be updated only when you eject the MD or turn off the
MD deck.
When “TOC Writing” flashes in the display after
recording
The deck is updating the TOC. Do not disconnect the AC
power cord or move the deck while the indication flashes.
A built-in sampling rate converter automatically converts
the sampling frequency of various digital sources to the
44.1 kHz sampling rate of the MD deck. This allows you
to monitor and record sources such as 32- or 48-kHz DAT
tape or satellite broadcasts, as well as the CDs and MDs.
Recording for long times
In addition to normal stereo recording, this deck has two
long time recording modes: LP2 and LP4. When
recording in LP2 Stereo mode, you can record 2 times the
normal recordable time, and in LP4 Stereo mode, you can
record 4 times the normal recordable time. In addition, the
recordable time for monaural recording is approximately
double the stereo recording time.
Note
MDs recorded in MD LP (LP2 or LP4 Stereo) mode cannot be
played back on a deck that does not support MD LP mode. In
addition, you cannot perform S.F Edit for MDs recorded in MD
LP mode.

Do steps 1 to 4 of “Recording to an MD” on
page 13.
2
Press REC MODE repeatedly to select the
recording mode you want to record in.
3
Do steps 5 to 9 of “Recording to an MD” on
page 13.
You can automatically add “LP:” at the
beginning of a track name during a long time
recording
The deck is set at the factory to add “LP:” automatically.
This indication is displayed when the track is played on a
deck that does not support long-time recording (page 57).

•
If “LPstamp:On” is set, “LP:” is recorded as part of the track
name, so the number of characters that can be input in a single
MD is reduced. Furthermore, “LP:” is automatically copied if
the track name is copied or if the track is divided by using the
Divide function.
•
MDs recorded in MD LP (LP2 or LP4 Stereo) mode should be
played back on a deck that supports MD LP mode. These MDs
cannot be played back on other decks. When you play an MD
recorded in MD LP mode, “STEREO” (for an MD recorded in
LP2 Stereo mode) or “MONO” (for an MD recorded in LP4
Stereo mode) lights up.
•
Even if you press REC MODE during recording or recording
pause, you cannot change the recording mode.

Additional information on Automatic Track Marking
•
When recording from a CD player or an MD deck connected
to the DIGITAL IN connector, the entire material might be
recorded as a single track in the following cases:
—When you consecutively record the same track two or more
times using single-track repeat play.
—When you consecutively record two or more tracks with the
same track number but from different CDs or MDs.
—When you record tracks from certain CD or multi-disc
players.
•
A track number might not be marked for tracks less than
4 seconds long (in Stereo mode, Monaural mode, and LP2
Stereo mode) or 2 seconds long (in LP4 Stereo mode) during
recording.
•
When recording from a component connected to the
ANALOG IN jacks with “T.Mark Off” selected or when
recording from a DAT deck or DBS tuner connected to the
DIGITAL IN connector, the entire material may be recorded as
a single track.
•
When recording from a DAT deck or DBS tuner connected to
the DIGITAL IN connector, the deck will mark a track number
whenever the sampling frequency of the input signal changes,
regardless of the track marking parameter setting (“T.Mark
Lsyn(c)” or “T.Mark Off”).
z
You can mark track numbers even after recording has
finished
See “Dividing tracks” on page 33.
Note
If you turn off the deck or disconnect the AC power cord, the

tracks that have been recorded to an
MD.
Before you start editing
The buttons and control below are used to erase, divide,
move, or combine tracks on the MD.
Note
The operation of these buttons and the control is different when
naming a track or MD. For details, see “Naming a track or MD”
on page 35.

Turn to select an editing operation or
track number, then press to enter your selection. You can
also use the control to specify points in a track for erasure
or track division.
YES button:
Press this button instead of the AMS
control to enter a selection.
m/M
buttons:
Press to specify the unit (minute,
second, or frame) by which the MD is advanced when the
AMS control is turned. You can also use these buttons to
locate the end point of the portion to be erased.
For further details on the function of each button and
control, see the following sections on editing operations.
When “Protected” appears while editing
The record-protect slot is open. To edit the MD, slide the
tab to close the slot. For details, see “To prevent accidental

Erasing tracks
(ERASE)
You can erase a track or part of a track by specifying the
number of the track or the portion within a track to be
erased. You can also erase all the tracks on an MD at one
time.
Specify the number of the track you want to erase.
Example: Erasing the second track (BBB)
When you erase a track, all the tracks after the one erased
are automatically renumbered. For example, if you erase
track number 2, the previous track number 3 becomes
track number 2 and the previous track number 4 becomes
track number 3, and so on.

into a single track. When you combine two tracks, the
total number of tracks decreases by one and all tracks
following the combined track are renumbered.
You can also use this function when you want to delete
unnecessary track numbers.
Example: Combining the second track and the
fourth track
If both of the combined tracks have a track name, the
name of the second track is erased.

Other Functions
model name1[MDS-JE640] model name2[MDS-JE440]
[4-229-587-11(1)]
Using the CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
control system
(MDS-JE640
only)
This MD deck is compatible with the CONTROL A1II
Control System.
The CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
control system was designed to
simplify the operation of audio systems composed of
separate Sony components. CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
connections
provide a path for the transmission of control signals that
enable automatic operation and control features usually
associated with integrated systems.
Currently, CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
connections between a Sony
MD deck, CD player, amplifier (receiver), and cassette
deck provide automatic function selection and
synchronized recording.
In the future the CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
connection will work as
a multifunction bus allowing you to control various
functions for each component.
Note
The CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
control system is designed to maintain
upward compatibility as the control system is upgraded to handle
new functions. In this case, however, older components will not
be compatible with the new functions.
Connect monaural (2P) mini-plug cables in series to the
CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
jacks on the back of each component.
You can connect up to ten CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
compatible
components in any order. However, you can connect only
one of each type of component (i.e., 1 CD player, 1 MD
deck, 1 tape deck and 1 receiver). (You may be able to
connect more than one CD player or MD deck, depending
on the model. Refer to the operating instructions supplied
with the respective component for details.)
Example
In the CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
control system, the control signals
flow both ways, so there is no distinction of IN and OUT
jacks. If a component has more than one CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
jack, you can use either one, or connect different
components to each jack.
About the connecting cable
When a CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
compatible component is not
supplied with a connecting cable, use a commercially
available monaural (2P) mini-plug cable less than 2
meters (6.6 feet) long, with no resistance (such as the
Sony RK-G69HG).
Automatic function selection
When you connect CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
compatible Sony
components using CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
cables (not supplied),
the function selector on the amplifier (or receiver)
automatically switches to the correct input when you press
the play button on one of the connected components.
(For example, when you press
H
(play button) on the
MD deck while the CD is playing, the function selector on
the amplifier switches from CD to MD.)
Notes
•
This function works only when the components are connected
to the amplifier (or receiver) inputs according to the names on
the function buttons. Certain receivers allow you to switch the
names of the function buttons. In this case, refer to the
operating instructions supplied with the receiver.
•
When recording, do not play any components other than the
recording source. It will cause the automatic function selection
to operate.
CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
and CONTROL A1
compatibility
The CONTROL A1 control system has been updated to
the CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
which is the standard system in
the Sony 300 disc CD changer and other recent Sony
components. Components with CONTROL A1 jacks
are compatible with components with CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
,
and can be connected to each other. Basically, the
majority of the functions available with the
CONTROL A1 control system will be available with
the CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
control system. However, when
making connections between components with
CONTROL A1 jacks and components with
CONTROL A1
ΙΙ
jacks, the number of functions that
can be controlled may be limited depending on the
component. For detailed information, refer to the
operating instructions supplied with the component(s).

[4-229-587-11(1)]
Additional
Information
This chapter provides additional
information that will help you
understand and maintain your MD
deck system.
Precautions
On safety
•
Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet,
unplug the deck and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it any further.
•
Caution – The use of optical instruments with this
product will increase eye hazard.
On power sources
•
Before operating the deck, check that the operating
voltage of the deck is identical with your local power
supply. The operating voltage is indicated on the
nameplate at the rear of the deck.
•
The unit is not disconnected from the AC power source
(mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet, even
if the unit itself has been turned off.
•
If you are not going to use the deck for a long time, be
sure to disconnect the deck from the wall outlet. To
disconnect the AC power cord, grasp the plug itself;
never pull the cord.
•
AC power cord must be changed only at the qualified
service shop.
On condensation in the deck
If the deck is brought directly from a cold to a warm
location, or is placed in a very damp room, moisture may
condense on the lenses inside the deck. Should this occur,
the deck may not operate properly. In this case, remove
the MD and leave the deck turned on for several hours
until the moisture evaporates.
On the MiniDisc cartridge
•
Do not open the shutter to expose the MD.
•
Do not place the cartridge where it will be subject to
extremes of sunlight, temperature, moisture or dust.
On cleaning
Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not
use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent
such as alcohol or benzine.
If you have any questions or problems concerning your
deck, please consult your nearest Sony dealer.

Handling MDs/System limitations
Additional Information
model name1[MDS-JE640] model name2[MDS-JE440]
[4-229-587-11(1)]
Handling MDs
The MD is enclosed in a cartridge to protect the disc from
debris or fingerprints and to make it easy to handle.
However, the presence of debris or a warped cartridge
may inhibit the disc from operating properly. To ensure
that you can always listen to the highest quality music,
follow the precautions below:
•
Do not touch the internal disc directly. Forcing the
shutter open may damage the internal disc.
•
Be sure to stick the labels supplied with the MD to the
appropriate positions. The shape of the labels may vary
depending on the MD brand.
Where to keep the MDs
Do not place the cartridge where it may be exposed to
direct sunlight or extremely high heat and humidity.
Regular maintenance
Wipe dust and debris from the surface of the cartridge
with a dry cloth.
System limitations
The recording system in your deck is radically different
from those used in cassette and DAT decks and is
characterized by the limitations described below. Note,
however, that these limitations are due to the inherent
nature of the MD recording system itself and not to
mechanical causes.
“Disc Full” appears in the display even before
the MD has reached the maximum recording
time
When 255 tracks have been recorded to the MD,
“Disc Full” appears regardless of the total recorded time.
More than 255 tracks cannot be recorded to the MD. To
continue recording, erase unnecessary tracks or use
another recordable MD.
“Disc Full” appears before the maximum
number of tracks is reached
Fluctuations in emphasis within tracks are sometimes
interpreted as track intervals, incrementing the track count
and causing “Disc Full” to appear.
The remaining recording time does not
increase even after erasing numerous short
tracks
Tracks under 12 seconds* in length are not counted and so
erasing them may not lead to an increase in the recording
time.
* During stereo recording.
In MONO or LP2 mode: about 24 seconds
In LP4 mode: about 48 seconds
The total recorded time and the remaining
recordable time on the MD may not total the
maximum recording time
Recording is done in minimum units of two seconds*
each, no matter how short the material is. The contents
recorded may thus be shorter than the maximum recording
capacity. Disc space may also be further reduced by
scratches.
* During stereo recording.
In MONO or LP2 mode: about 4 seconds
In LP4 mode: about 8 seconds
Limitations when recording over an existing
track
•
The correct remaining recordable time may not be
displayed.
•
You may find it impossible to record over a track if that
track has been recorded over several times already. If
this happens, erase the track (see page 31).
•
The remaining recordable time may be shortened out of
proportion to the total recorded time.
•
Recording over a track to eliminate noise is not
recommended since this may shorten the duration of the
track.
•
You may find it impossible to name a track while
recording over an existing track.
Tracks created through editing may exhibit
sound dropout as you are searching for a point
while monitoring the sound.
Some tracks cannot be combined with others
Tracks may not be combined if they have been edited.
Track numbers are not marked correctly
Incorrect assignment or marking of track numbers may
result when CD tracks are divided into several smaller
tracks during digital recording. Also, when the Automatic
Track Marking is activated during recording, track
numbers may not be marked as in the original, depending
on the program source.
“TOC Reading” appears for a long time
If the inserted recordable MD is brand new, “TOC
Reading” appears in the display longer than for MDs that
have already been used.

[4-229-587-11(1)]
The correct recorded/playing time may not be
displayed during play of MDs recorded in
monaural mode.
Digital audio components, such as CDs, MDs, and DATs,
make it easy to produce high-quality copies of music by
processing music as a digital signal.
To protect copyrighted music sources, this deck uses the
Serial Copy Management System, which allows you to
make only a single copy of a digitally recorded source
through digital-to-digital connections.
You can make only a first-generation copy
1)
through a digital-to-digital connection.
Examples are as follows:
•
You can make a copy of a commercially available
digital sound program (for example, a CD or MD), but
you cannot make a second copy from the first-
generation copy.
•
You can make a copy of a digital signal from a digitally
recorded analog sound program (for example, an analog
record or a music cassette tape) or from a digital
satellite broadcast program, but you cannot make a
second copy from the first-generation copy.
1) A first-generation copy means the first recording of a digital
audio source through the deck’s digital input connector. For
example, if you record from a CD player connected to the
DIGITAL IN connector, that copy is a first-generation copy.
Note
The restrictions of the Serial Copy Management System do not
apply when you make a recording through the analog-to-analog
connections.
