Precautions before using

About power supply

•Be sure to connect the MR-8HD 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 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 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 enters standby mode (i.e. the power does not completely turned off). Therefore, if you do not use the MR-8HD 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 immediately and ask your dealer to repair the cord.

Precautions upon installing the MR-8HD

•Do not install the MR-8HD in locations subject to the following:

*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.

*Near a strong magnetic field (such as a TV or speaker).

Notes on repair

•The MR-8HD 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 when you transport or send the MR-8HD to the dealer or Fostex service station for repair.

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

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

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 to a Macintosh computer, make sure that the OS is Mac OS X or higher. The MR-8HD supports only Mac OS X or higher. If you connect the MR-8HD to a Macintosh computer with Mac OS lower than "OS X", song data on the MR-8HD may be damaged.
