Notes on usable CDs

Notes on usable discs

•CD-Recordable (CD-R) and CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) discs

When recording with the DX-R700, you must use compact discs with the following marks printing on them:

*1 *2

FOR CONSUMER FOR CONSUMER USE

FOR MUSIC USE ONLY

(A disc with any of the above markings.) Recording cannot be performed on discs that do not have one of the above markings.

Copyright fees have been enacted by copyright laws, and these fees are included in the price of CD-R*1 and CD-RW*2 discs, as well as discs labeled with

“FOR CONSUMER,” “FOR CONSUMER USE,” and

“FOR MUSIC USE ONLY.” Therefore, the recording

of music protected by copyright laws with these

discs is permitted for personal use. However, copying

for purposes other than personal use requires the

permission of the copyright holder.

• Compact discs

Always use compact discs with the following mark (optical digital audio discs):

CD TEXT

CD TEXT is a feature added to audio CDs that provides the ability to deliver text information (alphabetic letters, symbols, and numbers) such as disc titles, artist names, track titles, etc. Commercial audio CDs that contain this text information bear the following mark.

Cautions regarding copyrights

The lyrics and melodies composing the musical elements of media and musical performances from radio broadcasts, compact discs, records, music tapes, original cassettes, and other media are protected equally by copyright law. Therefore, the sale, transition, distribution, and re-release in mediaform, or use as background music in stores and the like, is strictly forbidden without the previous express consent from the copyright holder.

CD-R finalization process

After recording onto a CD-R disc, it is necessary to perform the finalization process before the CD-R can be played in CD players. After the finalization process is completed, you cannot perform additional recordings.

CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) discs

CD-RW discs cannot be played in normal CD players even after finalization. CD-RW discs can only be played on players compatible with CD-RW discs. Also, with CD-RW discs, recording can be erased even after finalization.

12

Notes on usable CDs

Notes on discs

Never use heart-shaped, octagonal, or other special shaped discs as they may damage the internal mechanisms of the DX-R700.

Do not play CD-ROMs intended for computer use or non-audio compact discs. Doing so may cause highpitched noises or other unpredictable results that may damage speakers, amplifiers, and other connected components.

■ Handling discs

Be careful not to touch the data side of the disc (the side that does not have printing on it). Always hold discs by the edges or by using the hole in the middle.

Label side

Data side

Never place labels or stickers on the data side or label side of the discs. Also, do not write on the discs or allow them to become scratched.

■Cautions when using rented compact discs

Do not use discs that have cellophane tape attached to them or rental compact discs that have rental labels attached. If the tape is sticking out or peeling off, the disc may not be able to be ejected and the DX-R700 may become damaged.

■ Do not use 8-cm CD adapters

■ Cleaning

Dirt and contaminants on discs can obstruct the pickup of the signals and lead to deterioration the sound. When dirty, clean the data side with a soft dry cloth, wiping from the inside of the disc toward the outside.

If the dirt is excessive, soak the cloth in water, wring it out, and then wipe the disc surface clean. Next, using a soft dry cloth, wipe the moisture from the disc surface.

Do not use conventional record cleaners or antistatic agents. Also, never use benzene, thinners, or other volatile agents as they may damage the disc surface.

■ Cautions for disc storage

Do not store discs in locations exposed to direct sunlight, near heat emitting devices, and other locations of excessive heat, or locations of extremely low temperatures. Also, always store discs properly in their protective cases.

Condensation

When moving the DX-R700 from a cold location

to a hot location, when quickly heating a cold

location with a furnace, or other similar situation,

condensation may occur. This may not only cause

improper operation of the device, but may also

damage the discs and components.

If condensation has occurred, turn on the DX-

R700 and leave it running for 1 to 2 hours. If you

will not use the DX-R700, then eject any disc

inside.

Connecting the DX-R700

1 Connecting to an amplifier

Connect the DX-R700 to the CDR, TAPE or MD terminal on the amplifier.

•Connect the red connectors of the supplied audio connection cables to the R-channel terminals and the white connectors to the L-channel terminals.

•Make sure the connectors are properly inserted all the way. If the connectors are not properly connected, noise or improper operation may result.

•Do not bundle the audio cables together with power cords or speaker cables. Doing so may cause deterioration of the audio signal.

2 Connecting the zcable

•With Onkyo components that are equipped with an zconnector, use the supplied zcable to connect the zconnector to the zconnector of the DX-R700.

•The zconnectors are only effective if they are used in conjunction with an Onkyo amplifier with an z connector. Do not connect to a component other than an Onkyo component with an zconnector. Doing so may damage the DX-R700.

•The function of the upper and lower zconnectors are the same. Connect to either one.

•Connecting the zcable only does not make the system operational. You must also connect the audio cables as well.

3 Connecting to the digital input

Using the digital input, you can record digital audio from compact disc players, DAT decks, and other digital audio components that have a digital output. Connect using the supplied optical digital cable and either the DIGITAL INPUT 1 or 2 input on the DX-R700. You can also connect to amplifiers that are equipped with digital output terminals.

Notes:

•The optical digital terminal is provided with a protection cap installed. When necessary, remove this protection cap and store it safely. When not using the optical digital input terminal, be sure to put the cap back on the terminal.

•To perform digital input recording, you must connect to the optical digital input terminal. If the digital connection is not made, “D.In Unlock” will appear in the display.

4 Connecting to the digital output

Using the digital output, you can connect to MD recorders, CD recorders, DAT deck recorders, and other digital audio recorders that have optical digital input connectors for making digital recordings. You can also connect to amplifiers that are equipped with digital input terminals.

5 Connecting the power cord

Plug the power cord into an AC wall outlet.
