Note on High-Speed

Synchro-Recording

When recording a CD, certain conditions may cause the sound to dropout, noise in the recording, or even unwanted tracks on the CD-R or CD-RW. If this happens, clean the CD as described in “On cleaning” above, and record to the CD-R or CD-RW using normal speed Synchro-Recording only.

Note on CD-R or CD-RW playback

Playback of a CD-R or CD-RW recorded by a CD-R or CD-RW recorder may not be possible depending on the recording conditions (e.g., dirty disc, etc.). Also, please note that you need to finalize a CD-R or CD-RW before playing it back on DECK A of this unit or a system other than the one used to make the recording. (Finalizing is a process to complete the recording.)

After finalizing a CD-R, you can play it in any conventional CD player. However, depending on the state of the recording, the sound may skip during playback.

After finalizing a CD-RW, you can play it in a CD-RW compatible player only.
