As its name implies, the XR-D400SL Multiple Compact Disc Recorder provides multiple functions, these
include a CD-R/RW recorder for digital audio and a CD-R/RW drive for a PC.
As the XR-D400SL can be used as a CD-R/RW recorder for digital audio in the dubbing/ recording modes, it is
classified as specific equipment under the private recording royalties system. As a result, discs recorded with
this recorder are distinguished from those recorded with a PC drive.
In the SCSI mode, the XR-D400SL can be used as a CD-R/RW drive for a PC by connecting it through the
SCSI interface. However, it is not possible to use the source disc tray as the dubbing source.
The dubbing source disc tray of the XR-D400SL incorporates a CD-ROM drive and a REC/PLAY disc tray,
which is the dubbing destination and incorporates the CD-R/RW drive (XR-RWD400S) for a PC.
The XR-RWD400S can also be used as a CD-R/RW recorder for digital audio according to the setting of the
control microcomputer.
The XR-RWD400S incorporates a flash memory to facilitate firmware read and write. The firmware is the
program used in controlling the drive.
The use of a flash memory makes it possible to rewrite programs easily.
The recording media royalties are limited to special discs (with a logo mark as shown in Fig. 1) containing the
recording of ID information, which are not recorded in the recording media for PCs.
