Notes on batteries

Incorrect battery usage may lead to leakage of battery fluid or bursting batteries. To prevent such accidents, observe the following precautions:

•Install the + and – poles of the batteries correctly.

•Do not install new and used batteries or different kinds of batteries together.

•Do not try to recharge dry batteries.

•When the recorder is not to be used for a long time, be sure to remove the batteries.

•If a battery leak should develop, carefully and thoroughly wipe away battery fluid from the battery compartment before inserting new ones.

Note on mechanical noise

The recorder gives off mechanical noise while operating, which is caused by the power-saving system of the recorder and it is not a problem.

To protect a recorded MD

To record-protect an MD, slide open the tab at the side of the MD. In this position, the MD cannot be recorded. To record again, slide the tab back so the tab is visible.

Note on digital recording

This recorder uses the Serial Copy Management System, which allows only first-generation digital copies to be made from premastered software. You can only make copies from a home-recorded MD by using the analog (line out) connections.
