Precautions before using

About power supply

•Be sure to connect the MR-8HD/CD to the power supply specified in the specifications section of this owner's manual. Do not use an AC outlet of any other voltage.

•Do not connect the MR-8HD/CD to the same AC outlet to which devices that could generate noise (such as a large motor or dimmer), or the devices that consume a large amount of power (such as an air conditioning system or large electric heater) are connected.

•If you use the MR-8HD/CD in an area with a different power voltage, first consult your dealer or the nearest Fostex service station.

•The [POWER] switch cannot turn off the power completely. When this switch is "up", the MR-8HD/CD enters standby mode (i.e. the power does not completely turned off). Therefore, if you do not use the MR-8HD/CD for a long time, we recommend unplugging the power cord from the AC outlet.

•It is very dangerous to use a power cord that is frayed or damage. In such a case, stop using the MR-8HD/CD immediately and ask your dealer to repair the cord.

Precautions upon installing the MR-8HD/CD

*Extremely high or low temperature, or significant changes in temperature.

*Excessive humidity or dust.

*Excessive changes in power supply voltage.

*Unstable or significantly vibrating or shaking surfaces.

Notes on repair

•The MR-8HD/CD does not use any parts that user can repair easily. Contact your dealer or the nearest Fostex service station to ask about repairs.

•Use the original packing carton of the MR-8HD/CD when you transport or send the MR-8HD/CD to the dealer or Fostex service station for repair.

If you have discarded the packing carton, pack the MR-8HD/CD using shock absorbing materials. Fostex is not responsible for malfunction or damage due to incomplete packaging or caused during transportation.

•Because the MR-8HD/CD is a consumer product, Fostex does not offer on-site service or provide a loaner unit while your MR-8HD/ CD is under repair.

About copyrights

•It is prohibited by law to use any part of a CD recording or video images or audio data for which copyright is possessed by a third party for commercial purposes such as contents, broadcasts, sales, or distribution-any purpose other than for your personal pleasure.

About damages

•Fostex is not responsible for any "direct damage" or "indirect damage" caused by using the MR-8HD/CD.

Notes on audio interruption

•If you make recording or editing to a song many times, audio may be occasionally interrupted when the song is played back, due to data fragmentation. Note that this is not a malfunction.

Note on USB connection with Mac OS

•Before you connect the MR-8HD/CD to a Macintosh computer, make sure that the OS is Mac OS X or higher. The MR-8HD/CD supports only Mac OS X or higher.

If you connect the MR-8HD/CD to a Macintosh computer with Mac OS lower than "OS X", song data on the MR-8HD/CD may be damaged.
