Things to know before recording—————————  
It should be noted that it may be unlawful to re-record pre-recorded tapes,  
records, or discs without the consent of the owner of copyright in the  
sound or video recording, broadcast or cable programme and in any  
literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic embodied therein.  
Carefully read the “Rule on Digital Copying” on page 33.  
The MD recorder supports the following sampling frequencies for digital sources and  
lights the sampling frequency being received on the display.  
32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz  
Recording level adjustment:  
When recording through a digital input terminal, the recording level is automatically set  
correctly.  
When recording through an analog input terminal, it is necessary to adjust the recording  
level properly.  
The accidental erasure protect tab is provided on the back of an MD cartridge to prevent  
accidental erasure or recording. It must be set to the close position before recording.  
Otherwise, “DISC PROTECTED” will appear when you try to record a signal to the  
MD.

COMPU LINK  
Linked Operation of the Other  
Optional Components (Compu  
Link)  
The XM-448BK MD recorder can be controlled under linked operation provided by the  
JVC’s Compu Link remote control system.  
What is Compu Link  
The world of single components, in which you purchase a cassette deck, CD player,  
amplifier and other components separately and enjoy your own composition, is an effective  
means for pursuit of high-quality reproduction. However, in terms of operability, the need  
of controlling components independently makes their control complicated and their linked  
operation impossible. Then, isn’t it possible to combine single component and control them  
as simply as an integrated audio system? The Compu Link remote control system is the  
response to such a requirement.  
By connecting the COMPU LINK jacks to the components equipped with jacks named  
COMPU LINK-3 (COMPU LINK jacks), they can be controlled simply with a  
systematized, linked operation.  
Compu Link connections  
Using Compu Link cables (one cable is supplied with this unit – the cable with the  
monaural min-plugs: black), connect the COMPU LINK jacks of the components. Connect  
so that the Compu Link cables can bridge all of the components you have. The components  
can be connected in any order.  
Compu Link-3 features  
The Compu Link-3 system makes the following operations possible.  
Shortcut playback:  
Simply selecting an input source of the receiver starts playback of the selected source  
component (CD player, MD recorder or cassette deck).  
Also, even if you do not touch the receiver, starting playback of a source component  
sets the receiver’s input source automatically to the played component.  
*Refer to the instruction manual of the receiver.  
A single remote control unit:  
The remote control unit provided with the receiver can also be used to control the CD  
player, MD recorder, or cassette deck.  
Synchronized recording:  
Recording can be started automatically in synchronism with the start of playback of a  
source component.  
Timer operation:  
The timer function built into the receiver can be used to start recording or playback of  
other components at the reserved time of the day or switch the power to the Standby  
mode in the reserved time period.  
*Refer to the instruction manual of the receiver.

Rule on Digital Copying  
The digital audio equipment exchanges audio signals in the digital forms through digital  
input/output jacks, and include the CD (Compact Disc) player, MD (Mini Disc) recorder  
and DAT (Digital Audio Tape) recorder. The digital audio equipment allows digital copy of  
signals with little deterioration of music signals. This has made it necessary to have a copy  
restriction rule for protecting the copyright, and the SCMS has been established as a result.  
SCMS (Serial Copy Management  
System)  
With a view to protecting the copyright, the SCMS restricts the number of generations  
permitted for copying of signals in the digital form between digital audio equipment to only  
one generation.  
2nd generation  
1st generation  
Caution  
• Because of this rule, the MD obtained by recording a CD on  
the MD recorder cannot be copied in the digital form on  
other digital equipment.  
33  
 
About MD (Mini Disc)  
The MD (Mini Disc) is a new digital audio medium using a disc with a diameter of 64  
millimeters. In spite of the small size, the MD has multiple functions, high audio quality  
and recording/playback capabilities for up to 74 minutes.  
Role of the cartridge  
Cartridge  
The MD cartridge has a pocket size of 68 mm × 72 mm with a thickness of 5  
mm. The cartridge accommodates the 64 mm diameter disc for ease of  
transportation and storage.  
The internal disc is usually protected by the cartridge shells and shutter so no  
dust, dirt, scratch or fingerprint is left on the disc and the disc handling is easy.  
Disc  
Cartridge  
Shutter  
Two disc types  
The MD (Mini Disc) includes two disc types, the recordable MD that can be recorded onto  
and the playback-only MD that can exclusively be played back. Although both types of  
discs are played in the same way, that is, by irradiating a laser beam on the disc and reading  
signals from the reflected light, the ways they are recorded are completely different.  
Sound Cruise  
Playback-only MD  
This type of disc is used in prerecorded MD software marketed in music stores. It cannot be  
recorded by the user and data is recorded in the same way as a CD, i.e. according to the  
presence or absence of small holes called pits. A disc recorded in this way is referred to as  
an “optical disc”.  
Playback-only MD  
Recordable MD  
This type of disc records data using the magnetism to allow repeated data recording  
operations. A disc recorded in this way is referred to as an “MO (Magneto-Optical) disc”.  
Recordable MD  
34  
 
ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform  
Acoustic Coding)  
(dB)  
The MD (Mini Disc) has half the size of the CD but can record data for  
the same period of time. This has been made possible by the newly  
developed ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding), which  
compresses data by cutting the audio components that are inaudible to  
the human sense of audition. This technology reduces the recorded data  
to about 1/5 the original data quantity and enables recording/playback  
of data for up to 74 minutes.

the information on the positions the tracks are recorded, markings  
between tracks and order of tracks, so tracks can be searched quickly by

Handling MDs  
MD handling precautions ——————————————  
To maintain high quality audio for a long period  
Since the disc is accommodated inside a cartridge, it can be handled easily without caring  
about dust and dirt. However, to maintain the high audio quality for an extended period, use  
care in the following points.  
Installation location  
Do not install the MD in following places.  
In a place subject to direct sunlight or where the temperature rises, for example in a  
closed automobile. The disc may be warped and unusable in these places.  
In a bathroom or where the humidity is high. The disc may be rusted in these places.  
On a beach or sandbox. The disc surface may be scratched or damaged if grit penetrates  
through an opening on the cartridge.  
Periodical maintenance  
When the cartridge gets dusty or dirty, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.  
Do not open the shutter.  
The shutter is usually locked to prevent opening. Do not force to open it or the disc may be  
destroyed.

MD Restrictions  
The MD records data in an original format that differs from that of conventional cassette tapes or DATs. Since  
there are some limitations with this recording format, the following types of symptoms may occur. These symp-  
toms are not malfunctions.  
Symptom  
Cause  
“DISC FULL” appears, even  
though there is still enough  
remaining time on MD.  
There is a maximum number of tracks which can be recorded,  
regardless of recording time. More than 254 tracks cannot be  
recorded on an MD.  
“DISC FULLappears even  
though the number of tracks  
and recording time do not  
reach the limit.  
• Repeating erasure and recording on the same MD creates many  
blank portions sparsely on the MD. When recording on such an  
MD, a track is recorded on these blank portions sparsely. If a track  
is divided and recorded into so many portions, “DISC FULL”  
appears.  
The JOIN function sometimes  
does not work.  
• If a divided portion of less than 8 seconds is made while a track  
is recorded on the MD, that track cannot be joined to another  
track using the JOIN function. Furthermore, if that track is  
erased, the remaining time of the MD may not increase exactly  
by the erased amount.  
• If a track has been divided into many portions while being  
recorded on the MD, sounds will drop out while fast forwarding or  
reversing such an MD.  
The remaining time on the MD  
does not increase even when  
tracks are erased.  
The sound drops out during  
fast forward or fast rewind.  
The amount of recorded time  
on the MD added to the  
amount of remaining time is  
shorter than the MD’s total  
possible recording time.  
You cannot record on a blank portion of less than 2 seconds in the  
MD. For this reason, the actual recording time of discs may become  
shorter.
