1.2 Finalizing
Although audio data may be written on a CD-R or CD-RW disc, an audio CD player will not be able to read the data (i.e. play back the audio) until a final table of contents (TOC) has been written at the start of the disc.
The process of writing this table of contents is known as “finalizing”. Once this has been done, no further data can be written to the disc. See 4.6, "Finalizing discs" for details.
In the case of a CD-RW disc which has been final- ized, the whole of the disc may be erased, and the disc re-used.
1.2.1 “Recordable” disc
In this manual, we use the term “recordable disc” to describe either a CD-R or a CD-RW disc which has not been finalized, i.e. further recording is still possible.
1.2.2 About this manual
In this manual, we use the following typeface to indi- cate a feature of the CD-RW5000 or its remote con- trol: the PLAY key. The numbers of the features are given in square brackets [13] and correspond to the numbers in 2, "Parts of the CD-RW5000". Where a feature is duplicated on the main unit and the remote control unit, both numbers are given.
Messages appearing on the display of the CD-RW5000 are given in the following typeface:
NO DISC.
1.3 Unpacking the CD-RW5000
When you unpack the CD-RW5000, you should find, in addition to this manual:
•the main unit itself
•the remote control unit with its attached cable
•a rack-mounting screw kit
1.3.1 Rack-mounting the CD-RW5000
Use the rack-mounting screw kit to mount the CD-RW5000 in a standard 19-inch rack, as shown below. Remove the feet of the unit before mounting it
1 - Introduction
in a rack, See 1.4, "Environmental considerations" below for ventilation, etc. parameters.
1.4 Environmental considerations
The CD-RW5000 should be operated in an environ- ment which provides adequate ventilation. We rec- ommend that a space of 1U is left above the unit when it is rack-mounted.
Avoid exposing the CD-RW5000 to excessive heat or extremes of temperature (between 5˚C and 35˚C— 41˚F and 95˚F), as well as avoiding excessively humid conditions. The CD-RW5000 is somewhat more sensitive to extremes of temperature than audio CD players.
The CD-RW5000 should be operated in a horizontal position (i.e. the front panel should be vertical). Avoid mounting the CD-RW5000 in a rack which is tilted more than 5˚ from the vertical.
The AC voltage supplied to the CD-RW5000 should match the voltage as printed on the rear panel of the unit. If you are in any doubt, consult an electrician.
NOTE
When transporting the CD-RW5000, always use the original packing materials. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you save all the packing materials that came with the CD-RW5000, in case you need to trans- port it in the future.
In addition, when transporting the CD-RW5000, you should tape the disc tray closed, using adhesive tape which will not spoil the finish of the unit.
