Notes

Note about using a DualDisc:

The digital audio content side of a DualDisc does not meet the technical specifi cations of the Compact Disc Digital Audio (CD-DA) format so play may not be possible.

Close the session after recording. Play may be impossible on some discs due to the condition of the recording.

Operation and sound quality of CDs that do not conform to CD-DA specifi cations (copy control CDs, etc.) cannot be guaranteed.

The producer of the disc can control how discs are played. So you may not always be able to control play as described in these operating instructions. Read the disc’s instructions carefully.

Media Care

[RAM] Use cartridges to protect them from scratches and dirt.

Holding a disc or card

Handle discs by the edges to avoid inadvertently scratching or getting oil from your fi ngers on the disc. Do not touch the signal surface of discs (the shiny side) or the terminal surface (the metal part) of SD cards.

Cleaning discs

Discs are not indestructible and occasionally dirt or condensation may appear. Clean by gently wiping with a soft, dry lint-free cloth in a straight line from the center of the disc to the edge of the disc.

Return discs to their cases and SD cards to their cartridges when not in use; this helps to protect against scratches and dirt.

Video cassette

Poor quality or damaged video cassettes can cause the heads to become dirty and malfunction.

Never use video cassettes on which juice has been spilled or those that are extremely damaged since this will not only cause the heads to become dirty, but will also make the unit malfunction.

Storing media

Do not place or store media in the following locations:

–Direct sunlight

–Very dusty or humid areas

–Near a heat source

–Places that undergo extreme shifts in temperature (condensation can occur)

–Where static electricity or electromagnetic waves occur

Keep the Memory Card out of reach of children to prevent swallowing.

Discs to avoid

Discs that are not perfectly circular in shape

Warped discs, which may not balance properly in your unit, causing improper operation or damage to the unit

Cracked discs

Discs with exposed adhesive (from removed stickers or labels, such as may occur with rental discs or improperly cared-for discs that were previously labeled or re-labeled)
