Introduction

About recordable discs

• You cannot erase the recorded data once you record a CD-R disc. When you use a CD-RW disc, you can erase the recorded data (see page 23).

• Some discs may not be recorded correctly. We recommend purchasing one disc and recording on a trial basis before you purchase a large amount of discs for this unit.

• CD-R or CD-RW discs that are recorded by the unit can be played back in the unit only. To play a recorded CD-R or CD-RW disc on a CD player, the disc need to be finalized (see page 22).

• CD-RW discs may not be played on a CD player. CD-RW discs can be played on a CD-RW recorder or a CD/DVD player with MultiRead logo.

• Discs for only high speed recording (ex. 4x – 10x disc) cannot be used. Use a disc such as 1x – 4x disc.

CD-R disc

A CD-R disc can be recorded only once. You cannot erase the recorded data.

CD-RW disc

A CD-RW disc can be recorded many times. When you erase the recorded data, you can use the disc as a blank disc.

• For audio recording

Use CD-R or CD-RW discs for audio recording. The unit cannot record on CD-R or CD-RW discs for an general use.

Recording operations

This chapter explains recording operations for using the unit as an audio CD recorder.

Before operations

Before recording operation, please read “Limitations of recording” and “About Finalize” carefully to avoid mistakes recording.

Limitations of recording

Use a CD-R or CD-RW disc for audio recording when recording an audio source. The type of discs that can be recorded are listed below:

• Blank CD-R/CD-RW (The recorded CD-RW disc can be used as a blank disc when you erase the recorded data.)

• Unfinalized CD-R/CD-RW disc that has space to add a track.

To playback a disc recorded by the unit on your CD player

• Finalize the disc.

• CD-RW discs may not be played on a CD player. CD-RW discs can be played on a CD-RW recorder or a CD/DVD player with MultiRead logo.

Cautions in digital recording

• When you make digital recording from a commercially available audio CD to a CD-R/RW disc, only one generation of digital recording can be made (SCMS). You cannot make digital recording from the recorded CD-R/RW.

• The track that is recorded to a CD-R/RW disc for audio recording cannot be recorded for 74 minutes from the time that the track is recorded.

English

Recording

operations

About Finalize

“Finalize” is the final process to make the recorded disc possible to play on a CD player.

• A disc that is finalized cannot be recorded any more. Please make sure that the recording is finished before finalizing.

• Do not turn off the unit during finalizing. It may damage the disc.

Important note

• It may be unlawful to record or playback copyrighted material without the consent of the copyright owner.

About the SCSI daisy chain

A total of seven SCSI devices may be connected to a single host computer. Take caution to ensure that each device is set to a different SCSI device ID number. The unit is provided with a D-sub 50P half-pitched connector and has a built-in SCSI terminator. Connect the unit as the last device in the chain and set the TERMINATION switch to ON.

HOST Computer (with SCSI connector)

Setting the SCSI device ID number

Each SCSI device connected to the host computer must be given a distinct SCSI device ID number. The unit factory default SCSI ID number is “0,” but you may have to change this when you connect it to your computer. To change the SCSI device ID number, use the ID selection switch.

Important notes

• Setting the SCSI mode to OFF during using the unit as a CD-R/RW drive interferes with the operation of the host computer.

• Be sure to operate in the proper order as described above, or the unit cannot be recognized.

NOTES

• Your computer system and SCSI devices should not be set up in near proximity to a television or radio as they may cause interference with signal reception.

• Be careful not to set the same ID number to two SCSI devices attached to the same host computer.

• Be sure to turn off the power supply before changing SCSI ID numbers.

• When you have reset the ID number of a SCSI device, be sure also to reset the host computer.

• When the SCSI mode is set to OFF, the computer cannot recognize the unit.

• When you use the unit as a CD-R/RW drive, the audio functions (playback, recording) do not work.

Care and handling of discs

How to handle discs

When handling a disc, do not touch the surface of the disc. Since discs are made of plastic, they are easily damaged. If a disc gets dirty, dusty, scratched or warped, the images and sound will not be picked up correctly, and such a disc may cause the player to malfunction.

Even on label side

Do not damage the label side, stick paper to or use any adhesive on its surface.

Storage

Make sure that discs are kept in their cases. If discs are piled on top of one another without their protective cases, they can be damaged. Do not put discs in a location where they may be exposed to direct sunlight, or in a place where the humidity or temperature is high. Avoid leaving discs in your car!

English

Maintenance of discs

If there are fingerprints or other dirt adhering to a disc, wipe with a soft dry cloth, moving from the center outwards. If a disc is difficult to clean, wipe with a cloth moistened with water. Never use record cleaners, petrol, alcohol or any anti-static agents.

CAUTION

Sometimes during play noise or images may be garbled. This is sometimes due to the disc. (It may not be up to industry standards.) These symptoms are caused by the discs, not by the malfunction of the unit.
