CDR1000—Owner’s Manual

• Do not block the CDR1000 ventilation slots. The CDR1000 has ventilation slots at the

side and a cooling fan at the rear to keep the internal components cool. Blocking the

ventilation slots or obstructing the fan’s airﬂow is a potential ﬁre hazard.

• Allow enough free space around the unit for normal ventilation. This should be: 10 cm

at the sides, 40 cm behind, and 30 cm above. These distances should also be adopted

when rack-mounting the CDR1000. For normal ventilation during use, remove the

rear of the rack or open a ventilation hole. If the airﬂow is not adequate, the CDR1000

will heat up inside and may cause a ﬁre.

• Do not look at the laser beam. You may damage your vision.

• Use the CDR1000 in an environment where the temperature is between 5˚C and 35˚C

(41˚F and 95˚F).

• Turn off audio devices when connecting them to the CDR1000, and use only the cables

speciﬁed in the relevant owner’s manuals.

• If you plan not to use the CDR1000 for a long period of time, remove the power cord

from the AC outlet. Leaving the CDR1000 connected is a potential ﬁre hazard.

• Do not use benzene, thinner, cleaning detergent, or a chemical cloth to clean the

CDR1000. Use only a soft, dry cloth.

• Do not attempt to move the CDR1000 during recording. Doing so may interrupt the

recording process and render the disc unusable.

• If the CDR1000 is stored in a cold place (e.g., overnight in a car), and then moved to a

warmer environment, or the temperature rises sharply, condensation may form inside

the CDR1000, which may affect performance. In such cases, the CDR1000 should be

allowed to acclimatize for about one hour before use.

• Use only discs of the type speciﬁed in this

Owner’s Manual

• Store discs in a place free from extreme temperatures, humidity, dust, and dirt.

• Always store discs in their cases.

• When handling discs, be careful not to touch the surface. Hold discs by the edge. Fin-

gerprints, smudges, scratches, or dirt can affect recording and playback.

• Be careful not to scratch the labeled side of the disc. Even scratches on this side of the

disc can affect recording and playback.

• Fingerprints and dust should be removed by wiping gently from the center of the disc

towards the disc edge, using a soft, dry cloth. Never wipe in a circular motion and never

rub a disc hard with a dry cloth.

• For stubborn stains and dirt, use a cleaning kit designed speciﬁcally for use with CDs.

Do not use benzene, thinner, cleaning detergent, or a chemical cloth.

• For disc marking, use only pens speciﬁcally designed for writing on CDs and write only

on the speciﬁed area. Do not attach a label to a disc.

• If a disc is stored in a cold place (e.g., overnight in a car), and then moved to a warmer

environment, or the temperature rises sharply, condensation may form on the disc sur-

face, which may affect performance. In such cases, the disc should be allowed to accli-

matize for about one hour before use.

• Do not under any circumstances attempt to use discs that are cracked or warped. Doing

so may seriously damage the CDR1000.
