1 − Introduction

Never use a stabilizer or printable discs

Using commercially available CD stabilizers or print- able recordable discs with this player will damage the mechanism and cause it to malfunction.

NOTE

Never use a disc that has had a stabilizer mounted to it. The residual adhesive may cause the disc to stick to the turntable of the unit. If it sticks to the turntable, you will need a technician to get it out.

Beware of condensation

If the unit (or a compact disc) is moved from a cold to a warm place, or used after a sudden temperature change, there is a danger of condensation; vapor in the air could condense on the internal mechanism, making correct

operation impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs, let the recorder sit for one or two hours at the new room temperature before using.

About CD-R and CD-RW discs

CD-R discs can be recorded once only. Once they have been used for recording, they cannot be erased or re-recorded. However, if space is available on the disc, additional material can be recorded. The packaging of CD-R discs will include one of the following logos:

By contrast, a CD-RW disc can be used in much the same way as a CD-R disc, but the disc can be erased, and the disc can be re-used for other recordings. The packaging of CD-RW discs will include one of the fol- lowing logos:

High Speed

However, you should note that an audio CD created using a CD-RW disc may not play back satisfactorily on every audio CD player. It will, naturally, be playable on the unit. This is in no way a limitation of the unit itself, but of the difference between the different types of media and the methods used to read them.

The unit supports normal speed (1x – 4x) and hi-speed (4x – 10x) discs. It does not support ultraspeed discs (10x – 24x).

There are precautions that you should take when han- dling CD-R and CD-RW discs.

•Avoid touching the recording (non-label) side of a disc on which you will be recording. Recording on a disc requires a cleaner surface than playing back, and fingerprints, grease, etc. can cause errors in the recording process.

•CD-R and CD-RW discs are sensitive to the effects of heat and ultraviolet rays. It is important that they are not stored in a location where direct sunlight will fall on them, and which is away from sources of heat such as radiators or heat-generating electrical devic- es.

•Always store CD-R and CD-RW discs in their cases to avoid dirt and dust accumulating on their surfaces.

•When labeling CD-R and CD-RW discs, always use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the informa- tion. Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this may cause damage to the recorded side.

•Always keep the recording sides of the discs away from grime and dust to avoid a reduction in sound quality. To clean a disc, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth from the center towards the outside edge. Do not use thinner, gasoline, benzene or LP cleaning fluid, as these will damage the disc and cause the disc unplayable.

•Do not put labels or protective sheets on the discs and do not use any protective coating spray.

•If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a CD-R and CD-RW discs, read the precautions sup- plied with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly.
