•If a CD-R disc that already has data written to it is loaded, the message “Not Blank Disc” appears, and you cannot proceed with the export. Be sure to use only blank discs.

•If a CD-RW disc that already has data written to it is loaded, the message “Erase Disc?” appears. Pressing [ENTER] (YES) here begins erasure of the disc. After the disc has been erased, the export process will continue.

•When a mono track is specified as the source for exporting, the data is written as a mono waveform file. When a stereo track is specified, the data is written as a stereo waveform file.

•Tracks 7/8 are fixed as a permanent stereo pair, and so cannot be specified as mono tracks.

•To quit writing to the disc while writing is still in progress, press [EXIT] (NO). When the message “Cancel?” appears, press [ENTER] (YES); writing is cancelled (it may take some time after you press [EXIT] (NO) for the message to appear). However, no guarantee can be made for the utility of the content up to the time writing is cancelled.

•It will not be possible to reuse a CD-R disc for which writing was canceled before completion.
