Before you start recording, make sure that you understand the following points:

<The unit requires Digital Audio CD-R or CD-RW media for recording. Computer CD-R or CD-RW discs do not work with this unit.

<Once you have recorded on a CD-R disc, the data cannot be erased from it.

<You can add tracks to an unfinalized recordable disc. Once finalized, a CD-R disc is “fixed” and behaves in the same way as a CD. Finalized CD-RW discs, however, can be unfinalized, erased and re-recorded.

<Due to the system restrictions of CD, a track cannot be less than four seconds in length, and there can be a maximum of 99 tracks on an audio CD.

<If the STOP button or PAUSE button is pressed within four seconds from the beginning of a track, the unit continues to record no signal and stops when the track’s length reaches four seconds.

<When the recording is finished, “REC” and “- - - - - -” blink for a few seconds, and the unit then goes into stop mode. Do not apply shock or vibration to the unit during recording.

<If the disc reaches the end during recording, the unit will start a fade-out over a few seconds.

When the fade-out has finished, the unit finalizes the disc automatically and stops.

<If the disc reaches the end of the 99th track during recording, the unit finalizes the disc automatically and stops.

<The recording time of a track may differ slightly from the original one.

Serial Copy Management System

This unit is in compliance with the Serial Copy Management System standard. This standard has been established to restrict digital-to-digital copying to only the first generation. The basic rules governing this system are as follows:

Rule 1

A digital recording is possible from a digital source such as a CD, DAT or MD onto a recordable CD-R, CD-RW, MD or DAT through a digital input connection. However, further digital to- digital recording is prohibited for the second and later generations.

Rule 2

When an analog source such as an analog disc or FM broadcast is digitally recorded by using a CD-R, CD-RW, MD or DAT, this recorded source can be digitally recorded on another CD-R, CD-RW, MD or DAT. However, further digital copying is prohibited.
