Precautions
On safety
• Should any solid object or liquid fall into the
cabinet, unplug the recorder and have it checked
by qualified personnel before operating it any
further.
• The use of optical instruments with this product
will increase the risk of eye hazard.
On power sources
• Before operating the recorder, check that the
operating voltage of the deck is identical with your
local power supply. The operating voltage is
indicated on the nameplate at the rear of the
recorder.
• The unit is not disconnected from the AC power
source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall
outlet, even if the unit itself has been turned off.
• If you are not going to use the recorder for a long
time, be sure to disconnect the recorder from the
wall outlet. To disconnect the AC power cord,
grasp the plug itself; never pull the cord.
• AC power cord must be changed only at a
qualified service shop.
On condensation in the recorder
If the recorder is brought directly from a cold to a
warm location, or is placed in a very damp room,
moisture may condense on the lenses inside the
recorder. Should this occur, the recorder may not
operate properly. In this case, remove the CD, CD-R,
or CD-RW and leave the recorder turned on for about
an hour until the moisture evaporates.
On handling Discs
• To keep the disc clean, handle it by its edge. Do
not touch the surface.
• Do not stick adhesive papers or tapes onto the disc.
On cleaning
• Fingerprints or dust on the disc may cause poor
sound reproduction or sound dropout.
• Before playing a disc, clean it with a cleaning
cloth. Wipe the disc from the center out.
• If the disc is still dirty after being wiped with a
cleaning cloth, wipe it again with a slightly
moistened cloth. Then wipe off the residual
moisture with a dry cloth.
• Do not use solvents such as benzene, thinner,
commercially available cleaners, or antistatic
spray intended for vinyl LPs.
Note on High-Speed CD to
CD-R or CD-RW Synchro-
Recording
Certain CD conditions may cause sound dropout
or noise in the recording results, or even create
unwanted tracks on the CD-R or CD-RW. If this
happens, clean the CD as instructed in “On
cleaning” above, and record material to the CD-
R or CD-RW using normal-speed CD to CD-R or
CD-RW Synchro-Recording only.
Note on CD-R or CD-RW
playback
When you playback a CD-R or CD-RW
recorded by a CD-R or CD-RW recorder, you
may not be able to playback, depending on the
recording conditions (e.g., dirty disc, etc.).
Also, you should note that you need to finalize
a CD-R or CD-RW before playing back on
another system other than the one used to make
the recording. (Finalizing is a process to
complete the recording.)
After finalizing a CD-R disc, you can play it in
any conventional CD player. However,
depending on the state of the recording, there
may be sound skips during playback.
After finalizing a CD-RW disc, you can play it
in a CD-RW compatible player only.
• Only regular circular discs can be used in this
recorder. Irregularly shaped discs, such as star- or
heart-shaped discs may damage the recorder.
• If there is glue or a similar substance on the disc,
remove it completely before using the disc.
On storage
• Do not expose the disc to direct sunlight or heat
sources such as hot air ducts, nor leave it in a car
parked in direct sunlight as there can be a
considerable rise in temperature inside the car.
• Store discs in their cases. Do not store discs either
stacked horizontally or standing vertically without
their cases.
