BEFORE

USING DISCS

Before playing or recording on a disc, read this section thoroughly.

USABLE DISCS

This unit has two CD player systems. One is a CD player located on top of the unit, on which a conventional music CD, a finalized* CD-R or a finalized CD-RW can be played. The other is a CD-R/RW player/recor der located on the lower part of the unit, on which a conventional music CD, a CD-R or a CDRW can be played and a CD-R or a CD-RW can be recorded on. * See "Finalization" in the right column.

TYPE OF DISCS

• CD-R and CD-RW discs

For recording and playbac k, you can use the CD-R and CD-R W discs with the following logos. Be sure that the logos have "DIGITAL AUDIO" which indicates the CD-R or CD-RW is for audio use. It is not assured that operations such as playing and recording can be performed on this unit correctly if you use a CD-R or CD-RW without this mark.

TERMS AND FEATURES

• Finalization

Finalization is the process of embedding a Table Of Contents (TOC) on a CD-R or CD-RW on which recording is completed. This process enables a CD-R and CD-RW to be played on the CD player of this unit or any other conventional CD players. (CDRW discs, however, can be played only on CD-RW players.) See "FINALIZATION" on page 23 for details.

• OPC (Optimum Power Control)

When a non-finalized CD-R or CD-RW is loaded on the CD-R/ RW player/recorder, OPC determines the intensity of the recording laser beam that is best for the currently loaded disc. OPC can run only a limited number of times (500 times) on a non-finalized CD-R. Therefore, do not open and close the CDR/RW player/recorder tr ay unnecessarily when a CD-R is loaded. When a CD-R approaches its OPC limit, "OPC Full" is displayed. In such a case, see "FINALIZATION" on page 23 and finalize the disc. OPC does not run on a finalized disc.

• SCMS (Serial Copy Management System)

When digital recording is attempted from recorded material with copyrights, digital dubbing cannot be performed to a CD-R or CD-RW from another disc recorded in digital because of the built-in record restriction function which complies with the SCMS standard.

Material recorded on a CD-R disc cannot be erased, while material recorded on a CD-RW can be erased, thus a CD-RW can be recorded repeatedly. A finalized CD-R disc can be played on conventional CD players as well. A CD-RW disc can be played only on CD-RW players.

FINALIZA TION

Finalization is the process of embedding a Table Of Contents (TOC) on a CD-R or CD-RW on which recording is completed. This process enables the CD-R and CD-RW to be played on the CD player of this unit or any other conventional CD players. (CDRW discs, however, can be played only on CD-RW players.) Once finalized, a CD-R can no longer be recorded, while a CDRW becomes recordable again if the tracks are erased or unfinalized. (See "ERASING RECORDINGS ON A CD-RW" on page 24.)

NOTE

• Never turn the unit off by pressing POWER or disconnecting the

AC cord during the finalizing process.

If the unit is turned off even by accident or power f ailure damages the disc and it may no longer be restored. (T o restore a damaged CD-R W, see "ERASING RECORDINGS ON A CD-RW" on page 24.)

• Do not finalize the CD-R or CD-RW which was recorded on other equipment. Doing so may cause the finalizing process to be unsuccessful.

• During the finalizing process, all the buttons (except POWER) are inoperative.

• Dust or scratches on a disc may prevent it from being successfully finalized.
