About Non-shift mode and Shift mode

Some keys have the secondary function which is available when the SHIFT indicator is lit (i.e. in the Shift mode), while the primary function is available when the SHIFT indicator is unlit (i.e. in the Non-shift mode).

In this manual, we sometimes say "when SHIFTed" and "when unSHIFTed", instead of "when the SHIFT indicator is lit" (or "in the Shift mode") and "when the SHIFT indicator is unlit" (or "in the Non-shift mode") respectively.

Audio file and audio track

In this manual, each audio data file recorded on a BWF formatted disc is called an "audio file", while each audio data file recorded on a CD-DA formatted disc is called an "audio track".

1.[POWER] switch

2.Disc tray

You can also close the tray by pushing the front of the tray lightly.

Depending on the drive condition, the indicator status changes as below.

Flashing in red	The unit is recording to the disc.
