About CD-R and CD-RW discs

CD-R discs can be recorded once only. Once they have been used for recording, they cannot be erased or re-recorded. However, if space is available on the disc (and the disc has not been finalized), additional material can be recorded.

By contrast, a CD-RW disc can be used in much the same way as a CD-R disc, but the last track or tracks recorded can be erased, and the space on the disc can be re- used for other recordings.

However, you should note that an audio CD created using a CD-RW disc may not play back satisfactorily on every audio CD player.

CD-R, by contrast, may be played satisfactorily on the majority of audio CD players.

Finalizing

Although audio data may be written on a CD-R or CD-RW disc, a standard CD player will not be able to 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 disk.

Note that a CD-RW disc that has been finalized can be “unfinalized”. This allows further tracks to be recorded to the disc, provided that there is space on the disc.

<Repeat, shuffle and programmed playback don’t work with unfinalized (NO TOC) discs.

Recordable discs

In this manual, we use the term “recordable” disc to describe a CD-R or CD-RW disc that has not been finalized, and has enough space to record.

Remote Control Unit

The provided Remote Control Unit allows the unit to be operated from a distance.

When operating the remote control unit, point it towards the REMOTE SENSOR on the front panel of the unit.

<Even if the remote control unit is operated within the effective range, remote control operation may be impossible if there are any obstacles between the unit and the remote control.

<If the remote control unit is operated near other appliances which generate infrared rays, or if other remote control devices using infrared rays are used near the unit, it may operate incorrectly. Conversely, the other appliances may operate incorrectly.

Battery Installation

1Remove the battery compartment cover.

2Insert two “AA” (R6, SUM-3) dry batteries. Make sure that the batteries are inserted with their positive “+” and negative “_” poles positioned correctly.

3Close the cover.

Battery Replacement

If the distance required between the remote control unit and main unit decreases, the batteries are exhausted. In this case replace the batteries with new ones.

Precautions concerning batteries

<Be sure to insert the batteries with correct positive “+” and negative “_” polarities.

<Use batteries of the same type. Never use different types of batteries together.

<Rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries can be used. Refer to the precautions on their labels.

<When the remote control unit is not to be used for a long time (more than a month), remove the batteries from the remote control unit to prevent them from leaking. If they leak, wipe away the liquid inside the battery compartment and replace the batteries with new ones.

<Do not heat or disassemble batteries and never dispose of old batteries by throwing them in a fire.
