Before Using Memory Cards (CompactFlash)

Using Memory Cards

•Carefully insert the Memory card all the way in—until it is firmly in place.

•Never touch the terminals of the Memory card. Also, avoid getting the terminals dirty.

•This unit’s memory card slot accepts CompactFlash memory cards. Microdrive storage media by IBM are not compatible.

•CompactFlash cards are constructed using precision components; handle the cards carefully, paying particular note to the following.

•To prevent damage to the cards from static electricity, be sure to discharge any static electricity from your own body before handling the cards.

•Do not touch or allow metal to come into contact with the contact portion of the cards.

•Do not bend, drop, or subject cards to strong shock or vibration.

•Do not keep cards in direct sunlight, in closed vehicles, or other such locations (storage temperature: -25 to 85° C).

•Do not allow cards to become wet.

•Do not disassemble or modify the cards.

Copyright

•Unauthorized recording, distribution, sale, lending, public performance, broadcasting, or the like, in whole or in part, of a work (musical composition, video, broadcast, public performance, or the like) whose copyright is held by a third party is prohibited by law.

•When exchanging audio signals through a digital connection with an external instrument, this unit can perform recording without being subject to the restrictions of the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS). This is because the unit is intended solely for musical production, and is designed not to be subject to restrictions as long as it is used to record works (such as your own composi- tions) that do not infringe on the copyrights of others. (SCMS is a feature that prohibits second-generation and later copying through a digital connection. It is built into MD recorders and other consumer digital-audio equipment as a copyright-protection feature.)

•Do not use this unit for purposes that could infringe on a copyright held by a third party. We assume no responsi- bility whatsoever with regard to any infringements of third-party copyrights arising through your use of this unit.
