Notes

•Make sure to place the recorder at a stable, vibration-free place during recording.

•If you start recording when the disc indication is still rotating in the display, the first few seconds of the material may not be recorded. Make sure that the disc indication has stopped rotating before you start recording.

•Do not move the recorder, jog the recorder or disconnect the power source while recording, or while “DATA SAVE” or “SYS WRITE” is flashing in the display. If you do, the data recorded up to that point may not be recorded to the disc, or data on the disc may be damaged.

•Recording cannot be done when the disc does not have enough space for recording.

•If the power supply is disrupted (i.e. the battery is removed or becomes exhausted or the AC power adaptor is disconnected) during a recording or editing operation, or while “DATA SAVE” or “SYS WRITE” appears in the display, then it will not be possible to open the lid until power is restored.

•Note the following when recording from a portable CD player:

—Some portable CD players may not be capable of digital out when the AC power adaptor is disconnected. If this is the case, connect the AC power adaptor to the portable CD player and use it on AC power as the power source.

—On some portable CD players, optical output may not be possible when using an anti-skip function (e.g., ESP* or G-PROTECTION). If this is the case, turn off the anti-skip function.

∗Electronic Shock Protection

•The recorder is factory set to make a new group whenever recording is done. If you do

not want to make a group, set “ :REC” to

“ :REC Off” (page 40).

•To start recording from a specific point on the disc, pause the recorder at the desired point, and then start recording from that point.

•You can monitor the sound during recording. Connect the headphones/earphones with remote control to i/LINE OUT and adjust the volume by pressing VOL + or – on the remote control (pressing the 5-way control key towards VOL + or – on the recorder). This does not affect the recording level.
