For recording use, special audio discs must be used (for music only). These Discs bear the logos as shown below. The text 'DIGITAL AUDIO' is present! Copyright fees have been paid on these discs in some countries.

With your recorder you can use two types of discs for recording purposes:

- CD-Audio Recordable (CD-R) discs:

Fully recorded and finalized, these discs play on all CD players and recorders.

Discs for playback

Your CD recorder is able to play:

-All prerecorded audio CDs, and combined CDs such as CD Extra.

-All Audio CD-R and Audio CD-RW.

Note: CD-R discs recorded with a computer can only be used when they are correctly treated according the audio standard (IEC958: Consumer part). Single session only!

It is extremely important that the discs used for recording are free of dust and scratches.

To clean a CD, wipe it in a straight line from the center towards the outer edge using a soft, lint-free cloth. Cleaning agents may damage the disc! Write only on the printed side of a CD-R or CD-RW, and only with a soft felt-tipped pen.

Clean the CD recorder with a soft, slightly dampened lint-free cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents as they may have a corrosive effect.

Do not expose the CD recorder, batteries or CDs to humidity, rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or direct sunlight).

If the CD recorder cannot read CDs correctly, use a cleaning CD to clean the lens before taking the CD player to be repaired. Other cleaning methods may destroy the lens. Always keep the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.

The lenses may cloud over when the CD recorder is suddenly moved from cold to warm surroundings, making it temporarily impossible to play a CD. Leave the CD recorder in a warm environment until the moisture evaporates.
