Note about printable discs

The explanation about printable discs on page 10 of the 

Owner’s Manual has been revised as follows.
(Before revision)
Using commercially available CD stabilizers or printable 

recordable discs with this player will damage the 

mechanism and cause it to malfunction.

(After revision)
Never use commercially available CD stabilizers with 

this player. When using a printable recordable disc with 

this player, only use a disc before its label side has been 

printed. Using a disc after its label side has been printed 

could cause it to become unbalanced due to the slight 

weight of the ink, and this could lead to poor data-

recording quality.

New functions

In order to prevent file fragmentation, recording can 

• 

no longer be continued when the remaining open 

capacity of the hard disk drive is less than 1 GB.
Delete projects and tracks to increase the open 

capacity in order to continue recording.
Victor/JVC DVD-RW 4x discs are now supported.

For information about “COPY ID”, see “Copy protection” on

only a problem with units using Drive. Ver. T.0H and 

T.0J.)
After making an audio CD from the hard disk (HDD 

• 

to CD), the home screen would not reopen and the
