Be careful not to get fingerprints on the signal recording surface. Recording from a digital input · When performing digital recording of a CD, track numbers are updated when the first sound is detected after the track switches. · When making a digital recording from a MD, a track number that is the same as the original track number will automatically be associated. · When recording from a DAT, track numbers are given when track switching is detected using the start IDs. · When recording from a satellite broadcasts or other digital equipment, the detection of a blank portion of about 3 seconds or longer, the same as when making recordings with an analog input, will result in the operation of the auto track function and the automatic association of the track number. · The track number might not switch correctly when there is a lot of noise in the blank portion between tracks. · The track number might change when the signal level is very low within the track. NOTES: · Do not attach commercially available disc labels or other seals on the disc. Doing so may make it impossible to record or play the disc properly. Disc Cleaning When the disc has become marked with fingerprints or dirt, wipe it clean before use. The dirt will not affect the signal of the disc, but the sound quality may drop and there may be breaks in the sound. Note that when the surface of a CDR/RW disc is dirty, it may not record properly. 2 To wipe the disc clean, use one of the disc cleaning sets available on the market or a soft cloth. 2 2 Recording from an analog input Track numbers will automatically be associated when a blank portion of about 3 seconds or longer is detected. · When the input signal is affected by noise or there is some other interference, the track number might not change at the correct position. · The track number might change when the signal level is very low within the track. The on/off setting of the auto track function is possible in manual recording. (See "Setting of the Auto Track Mark" on Page 11.) · Do not use record spray or static electricity prevention products. Do not use benzene, thinner, or other volatile chemicals. Approximately 3 seconds Blank portion First track Second track CD-R/RW disc Handling Precautions · Do not allow fingerprints, oil, or dirt to adhere. · Be careful not to scratch the surface, especially when removing or returning the disc to the case. · Do not bend the disc. · Do not heat the disc. · Do not enlarge the center hole. · Do not write on the label surface (i.e., printed side) with a ballpoint pen or pencil. · Water droplets may form on the surface of the disc when it is suddenly brought from a cold place such as outdoors to a warm place. If this happens, do not dry the disc with a hair dryer. NOTES: · When recording an analog source that contains a very low level signal within the track, or a digital source other than CD/MD/DAT, switch off the auto track function then make a manual recording and associate the track numbers manually. · When the recording level is set too low while recording an analog source or a digital source other than CD/MD/DAT, the track numbers might not be associated at the correct position. Please set a suitable recording level. Lightly wipe in the direction from centre to outside. Do not wipe in a circular manner. Storage Precautions · Be sure to eject the disc after playing. · Always return the disc to its case to avoid dust, scratches, and misshaping. · Do not leave the disc in the following places: 1. Where it will be exposed to direct sunlight for long periods. 2. Where there is a lot of dampness and dust. 3. Where it will be exposed to heat such as from a heater. 6 ENGLISH Precautions When Loading Discs · Only load one disc. Loading two or more discs in a layer will cause breakdown and may also scratch the discs. · Discs of the 8 cm size should be carefully aligned with the recessed disc guide area and loaded without the use of an adapter.
