1.4 About this manual

 

This manual has been organized so that you should 
be able to find the section you need relatively 
quickly. We suggest that you familiarize yourself 
with at least the Table of Contents, so that you know 
where to look if you need information on a particular 
aspect of the unit’s operation.

An index is also provided, which should assist you in 
locating the desired section.

As mentioned earlier, when a section of this manual 
describes a function which is included as part of the 
MD-801R only, the section will be marked as below:

 

3.12.2Laser pickup time

 

This indicates how long…

There are no features which are unique to the MD-
801P model only.

When characters are shown on the unit’s dot-matrix 
display, the following typeface is used: 

 

Input 

Mon

 

. Alternatively, the alphanumeric display itself 

may be shown:

If a “preset” word or phrase is shown on the display, 
this is shown as follows: 

 

T R AC K   T I T L E

 

.

Track times, program numbers, as shown in 7-digit 
numbers, are shown as 

 

034

 

, etc.

If a front panel control or rear panel connection is 
mentioned, the following typeface is used (a little 
larger than that used for preset display words): 

 

TOC 

WRITE

 

. The number of the control or connection, as 

given in 2, "Front and rear panel features", may also 
be given, e.g. 

 

[5]

 

.

If a front panel control or rear panel connection of 
another unit is specifically named, the folloiwng 
typeface is used: 

 

WORD IN

 

.

When an optional PS/2-compatible keyboard is con-
nected to the MD-801, the keyboard keys are repre-
sented in the following typeface:

Press 

 

F1

 

 to go back by one track.

If two keys are to be pressed together (i.e. the first-
named key is to be pressed and held down while the 
second is pressed), this is represented as:

Press 

 

SHIFT

 

 + 

 

F1

 

 to enter the erase track editing 

function.
