Using this manual
This manual is for the MJ–L77 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 XC–L77
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 MJ–L77, 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 MJ–L77 for years to come, so please bear in mind the
following points when choosing a suitable location for it:
DO...
❖ Use in a well-ventilated room.
❖ Place on a solid, flat, level surface, such as a table, shelf or stereo rack.
DON’T...
❖ Use in a place exposed to high temperatures or humidity, including near
radiators and other heat-generating appliances.
❖ Place on a window sill or other place where the recorder will be exposed to
direct sunlight.
❖ Use in an excessively dusty or damp environment.
❖ Place directly on top of an amplifier, or other component in your stereo
system that becomes hot in use.
❖ Use near a television or monitor as you may experience interference—
especially if the television uses an indoor antenna.
❖ Use in a kitchen or other room where the recorder may be exposed to smoke
or steam.
❖ 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.
