Recording onto CD-R/RW Discs

Your attention is drawn to the fact that recording pre-recorded tapes or discs or other published or broadcast material may infringe copyright laws.

Notes on Recording

•Do not use CD-R or CD-RW discs with dust and/or scratches on the surface as this may cause the recording to sound rough and may cause skipping when played backed. It may even cause the unit to malfunction.

•When using a recording function (one of the recording indica- tors in the display window is illuminated), do not subject the unit to any shock or vibration.

•Before recording on a CD-R disc, it is recommended to make a sample recording on a CD-RW disc.

•If the source CD being recorded from the 3-CD changer is itself a first-generation digital copy, digital recording cannot be per- formed. When this occurs, the recording type will switch from digital to analog automatically.

Read through this section before recording.

-Discs not manufactured for holding audio data (such as discs for standard computer use) cannot be recorded using this CDR.

-Discs with a format other than CD-DA (Compact Disc-Digital Audio) cannot be recorded.

-The recording of discs over 80 minutes in length is not supported.

-Multi-session discs cannot be recorded.
