Use the Sleep Timer to turn the System off after a certain number of
minutes when it is playing. By setting the Sleep Timer, you can fall
asleep to music and know that your System will turn off by itself
rather than play all night.

After setting the number of minutes for the Sleep Timer, the display
will stop blinking and return to the display as before setting the
Sleep Timer. (The display is dimmed.)
The System is now set to turn off after the number of minutes you
set.

To Confirm the Sleep Time

When the SLEEP button is pressed, the remaining sleep time is dis-
played. Wait until the display returns to the original display.

To Cancel the SLEEP Timer Setting

Press the SLEEP button until the original display appears on the dis-
play. Turning off the System also cancels the SLEEP Timer.

Information on MDs (Minidiscs)

This is a new digital audio disc format: it has a diameter of 64 mm
and enables up to 74 minutes of playback and recording.

The cartridge

The diameter of the disc itself is 64 mm, smaller than a CD single.
The disc sits inside a 68

×

72 mm cartridge, which also being pocket

size, makes minidiscs extremely handy for carrying and storage.
Since the disc is protected by the cartridge, dust and dirt cannot eas-
ily get into it. And thanks to a shutter which is closed at all times
except during use, there is no need to worry about scratches or fin-
ger marks, making the handling of minidiscs very simple.
