ENGLISH

Digital Copies (SCMS)

A CD-R/RW disc onto which has been recorded using the digital input cannot be further digitally recorded (i.e., copied) onto a separate CD-R/RW disc or MD, etc.. This is a standard established by the SCMS (Serial Copy Management System).

Finalization Processing of CD-R Discs

After the recording of a CD-R disc is completed, finalization processing is required to enable it to be played on an ordinary CD player.

NOTES:

•Once a CD-R disc has been finalized, additional recording will no longer be possible.

•The information that has been recorded to a CD- R disc cannot be erased.

“Prior to Finalization”

Additional recording is possible.

Playback is not possible on an ordinary CD player. Playback is only possible with a CD recorder.

“After Finalization”

Additional recording is not possible.

Finalization Processing of CD-RW Discs

CD-RW discs cannot be played on an ordinary CD player, even with finalization processing. Playback is possible only on CD recorders or players suited for use with CD- RW discs.They can only be played on a player that is suited for use with CD-RW discs. Also note that CD-RW discs can be erased after being finalized.

★Recording is possible without reception of the copy defect restriction. (See “Copy management” on page 13.)

Playback is possible on an ordinary CD player.

Track Numbers: Auto Track Function

4DISC HANDLING AND PRECAUTIONS

★Recording in the Synchro-recording mode (e.g., disc Synchro-recording, track Synchro-recording, and auto finalization recording) results in the track numbers being automatically associated. The manner in which the track numbers are associated will differ as follows for digital recording and for analog recording depending on the conditions.

Disc Handling

Avoid touching the surface of the disc when inserting or removing it.

NOTES:

•Do not attach commercially available disc labels or other seals on the disc. Doing so may make it impossible to record or play the disc properly.

2 Recording from a digital input
•	When performing digital recording of a CD, track numbers are
	updated when the first sound is detected after the track switches.
•	When making a digital recording from a MD, a track number that is
	the same as the original track number will automatically be
	associated.
•	When recording from a DAT, track numbers are given when track
	switching is detected using the start IDs.
•	When recording from a satellite broadcasts or other digital
	equipment, the detection of a blank portion of about 3 seconds or
	longer, the same as when making recordings with an analog input,
	will result in the operation of the auto track function and the
	automatic association of the track number.
	•	The track number might not switch correctly when there is a lot of
		noise in the blank portion between tracks.
	•	The track number might change when the signal level is very low
		within the track.

Be careful not to get fingerprints on the signal recording surface.

Disc Cleaning

2When the disc has become marked with fingerprints or dirt, wipe it clean before use. The dirt will not affect the signal of the disc, but the sound quality may drop and there may be breaks in the sound. Note that when the surface of a CD- R/RW disc is dirty, it may not record properly.

2To wipe the disc clean, use one of the disc cleaning sets available on the market or a soft cloth.

•Do not use record spray or static electricity prevention products. Do not use benzene, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.

• When the input signal is affected by noise or there is some other	CD-R/RW disc
interference, the track number might not change at the correct
position.

•The track number might change when the signal level is very low within the track.

✽The on/off setting of the auto track function is possible in manual recording. (See “Setting of the Auto Track Mark” on Page 11.)

NOTES:

•When recording an analog source that contains a very low level signal within the track, or a digital source other than CD/MD/DAT, switch off the auto track function then make a manual recording and associate the track numbers manually.

•When the recording level is set too low while recording an analog source or a digital source other than CD/MD/DAT, the track numbers might not be associated at the correct position. Please set a suitable recording level.

Storage Precautions

•Be sure to eject the disc after playing.

•Always return the disc to its case to avoid dust, scratches, and misshaping.

•Do not leave the disc in the following places:

1.Where it will be exposed to direct sunlight for long periods.

2.Where there is a lot of dampness and dust.

3.Where it will be exposed to heat such as from a heater.

•Do not allow fingerprints, oil, or dirt to adhere.

•Be careful not to scratch the surface, especially when removing or returning the disc to the case.

•Do not bend the disc.

•Do not heat the disc.

•Do not enlarge the center hole.

•Do not write on the label surface (i.e., printed side) with a ballpoint pen or pencil.

•Water droplets may form on the surface of the disc when it is suddenly brought from a cold place such as outdoors to a warm place. If this happens, do not dry the disc with a hair dryer.
