CAUTION:
ÖThe power must not be turned off during erasing since this could destroy the disc.
If a power loss occurs during erasing or you should inadvertently turn off the power during erasing, turn on the power again as soon as possible. The erase operation is then automatically restarted and takes 3 minutes for ALL TRACKS ERASING and TOC ERASING with maximum recording time plus 5 minutes for ALL DISC ERASING. However, there is no guarantee that the disc will be erased normally. The erase operation that is restarted when the power comes back can be stopped by pressing the 7 button for 10 seconds. If this erase operation is stopped, the message “CHECK” “DISC” appears to indicate that the disc has not been normally erased.
ÖIf the message “CHECK” “DISC” appears during erasing and erasing stops, the disc may be damaged.
Should this happen, eject the disc and check it. Then try erasing it again.
ÖBe sure to remove the disc after the erase operation and before turning off the power.
If the power is turned off with the disc still in the recorder, the backup data is deleted and the erase operation is canceled.
