CD-R discs wxorporate a pigment layer for recording When exposed to the recording laser. a change I” form OCCURS at the boundary of this layer and the plastic layer resulting I” the recording of the sIgnal. The recorded information IS maIntained unt!l the end of the life of the disc

. After recording, finalized discs can be played on ordinary

CD players

n CD-RW Discs

CD-RW discs mcorpoiate a phase change layer. The recordmg process causes this layer to change from a crystal (reflectlvel condrtmn to an amorphous (noncrystal) condltlon

Recorded lnformatlon can be erased from CD-RW discs. D&t/on can take the form of deleting all of the disc

tracks or only the specifed tracks working back from the

last track of the disc.

Flnallzed CD-RW discs can be played on CD players deslgned for “se with CD-RW discs as well as on CD recorders

DIGRF~~

A CD-RIRW disc onto whtch has been recorded using the digltal Input cannot be further digitally recorded (I.% coped1 onto a separate CD-R/RW disc or MD, etc.. This IS a standard establlshed by the SCMS (Serial Copy Management System).

* Fiecordlng in the Synchro-recording mode (e.g.. disc Synchro-recording. track Synchro-recording. and auto finallzatlon recording)

results in the track numbers being automatIcally assoc!ated. The manner in which the track numbers are assoaated will differ as follows for digital recording and for analog recording depending on the condltlons

n 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 maklng a digital recording from a MD, a track number that IS the same as the orIgInal track number WIII automatically be associated.

When recording from a DAT. track numbers are glen when track swltchlng IS detected using the start IDS.

When recording from a satellite broadcasts or other dlgltal equipment. the detectlon of a blank port1011 of about 3 seconds or

longer. the same as when maklng recordtngs with an analog Input. WIII result I” the operation of the auto track function and

the automatic assoclatlon of the track number.

The track number might not switch correctly when there IS a lot of Norse in the blank portion between tracks.

The track number might change when the slgnal level IS very low withln the track.

n Recording from an analog input

Track numbers will automatically be assoctated when a blank portion of about 3 seconds or longer is detected.

When the Input sIgnal IS affected by nase or there is some other Interference. the track number might not change at the correct posltlon

The track number might change when the slgnal level IS very low within the track.

* The on/off setting of the wto track function IS possible I” manual recording. (See

“Setting of the Auto Track Mark” on Page 11 .I

NOTES:

When recording an analog source that contains a very low level slgnal wIthIn the track, or a dIgItal source other than CD/MD/DAT, switch off the auto track function then make a manual recording and asswate the track numbers manually.

When the recording level IS set too low while recording an analog source or a digltal source other than CD/MD/DAT. the track numbers might not be associated at the correct posftlon. Please set a suitable recording level.

. To wipe the disc clean, use one of the disc cleaning sets

a&able on the market or a soft cloth.

. Be careful not to scratch the surface, especially when

Be sure to eject the disc after playing.

Always return the disc to its case to avold dust, scratches, and mlsshaplng

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.

RESTRICTIONS RELATED TO THE CD-R/RW STANDARDS

* Standards concerned wth CD recorder playback have been established based on the ex,stl”g standards of CD players,

however. for recording, the method differs from that used with ewtfng cassette decks and MD recorders, etc. In view of this. please gain a good understandlng of the followng restrfctaons associated wth CD-R/RW dascs and enjoy the medium.

Only audn CD-RIRW discs can be recorded with this urxt “IL&E:

operation has been performed (See “Cancellation of CD-RW disc flnallzlng” on Page 28 1

Recording mistakes made wth CD-R discs cannot be erased: therefore, It IS recommended that a CD-RW disc be used until you

are accustomed to the recording operat,on.

The recording operation procedure IS the same for CD-R discs and CD-RW discs

When maklng addlt!onal recording to a previously recorded disc, the end of the last track IS detected and recording IS started
