INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on the acquisition of your CD-Recorder. This
CD-Recorder now enables you to record, play and erase your
own audio Compact Discs. Naturally the recorder can also be
used to play all pre-recorded CDs.

With the exception of legal restrictions pertaining to copying,
you can now create your own high-quality audio recordings on
CD. The discs used to record must bear the logos shown be­low. Copyright fees have been paid on these discs in some
countries. Recording on other types of discs (e.g. CD-R for pro­fessional recordings) is not possible.

There are two types of recordable AUDIO discs:
CD-R(W) discs have a compatibility to play/record on the CD­Recorders based on the ORENGE BOOK Part II/III. But the
discs might not be able to be played/recorded properly depend­ing on the combinations of the discs and CD-Recorders.

1 CD Recordable Audio (record once):

Fully recorded and subsequently finalized audio CD-R discs
can be played on all CD players and recorders that are suit­able for CD-R discs. A CD-R disc can be recognized by the
following logo:

Recordable

Recordable

Unpacking

First check the contents of the packaging. It should contain the
following:

- CD-Recorder DR6050

- Remote control with batteries packaged separately

- Audio cables (2 - with red and white plugs)

- Remote control cable (with orange plugs)

- Instructions

- Guarantee

If one of these components is missing, please inform your sup­plier immediately. Save the packaging material it may come in
handy if you move the appliance.

Setup

- Place the recorder on a strong, vibration-free surface.

- Do not use the recorder under extremely damp condi­tions.

- If the recorder is placed in a cabinet, make sure that a

2.5 cm space remains free on all sides of the recorder
for proper ventilation.

Attention!

If the appliance is not used or operated in accordance with
the instructions, this may result in exposure to dangerous
radiation or other risks.

Only authorized technicians are allowed to open the appli­ance casing or to perform repairs or maintenance.

ENGLISH

2 CD ReWritable Audio (multiple recording):

Recorded and finalized audio CD-RW discs can be played
on all CD players and recorders that are suitable for CD-RW
discs. An increasing number of players and recorders will be
suitable for these discs in the future. A CD-RW disc can be
recognized by the following logo:

ReWritable

The CD-R(W)disc for ‘DIGITAL AUDIO’ can be both recording
and playing on this CD-Recorder. In addition, this CD-Re­corder can play the CD-R(W) disc for ‘PROFESSIONAL RE­CORDING’, but cannot record it.

Once you start using the recorder, you will discover how easy it
is to ‘make’ your own CDs. Nevertheless, we recommend that
you use an erasable (CD-RW) digital audio disc on your first
attempt, while following the instructions given here.

ReWritable

Attention!

Recordings may only be made for personal use.
It is forbidden to copy material protected by copyright, in-

cluding computer programs, films, television and audio
recordings. This appliance may not be used for applica­tions of this type.

Compact discs

The glossy side shining like a rainbow is the front side of the
disc, and the side on which the label is printed is the back.
Unlike conventional turntables for playing analog discs, the
DR6050 reads the information recorded on the disc from under­neath without contacting it using a beam of laser light. There­fore, the performance of a compact disc will not degrade like
conventional analog records.

Handle discs carefully so as not to damage or scratch the
front side.

To protect the disc, avoid placing it in the following loca­tions:

- In direct sunlight or near a source of heat like a heater.

- In a place which is damp or dirty.

- In a place which could be exposed to rain, such as near
a window.

Always keep the disc surface clean.

Up to six billion data units are recorded on the front side of the
disc. When cleaning the disc surface, always be sure to use a
special compact disc cleaner and wipe as shown below.

Note:

Some CD players can not play the finalized CD-R(W) discs be­cause of the low reflectivity of such discs.

Because of laser power differences, some DVD players cannot
play the finalized CD-R(W) discs.

Read the text carefully and keep the instructions close at hand
so that you can refer to them if necessary.

ENGLISH

INTRODUCTION

• Do not use conventional record cleaner for analog records,
as this will adversely affect the disc surface.
Store discs properly by placing them in their disc cases.

• Do not attach a piece of paper or sticker on the label side of
disc. When a disc has a piece of plastic tape or rental CD
label with paste protruded from the edge or when a disc has
a trace of such a sticky object, do not attempt to play the disc.
If such a disc is played on the CD player, impossibility of tak­ing out the disc or other malfunction may result.

• Write only on the printed side of a CD-R or CD-RW, and only
with a soft felt-tipped pen.

• Do not use a disc with a special shape.
Do not attempt to play a disc with a special shape such as a

heart-shaped disc or octagonal disc. Otherwise the equip­ment malfunction may result.

Maintenance

Clean the CD-Recorder with a soft, slightly dampened lint-free
cloth. Do not use any cleaning agents as they may have a cor­rosive effect.

Do not expose the CD-Recorder, batteries or CDs to humidity,
rain, sand or excessive heat (caused by heating equipment or
direct sunlight).

If the CD-Recorder cannot read CDs correctly use a commonly
available cleaning CD to clean the lens before taking the CD
player to be repaired. Other cleaning methods may destroy the
lens. Always keep the tray closed to avoid dust on the lens.

The lenses may cloud over when the CD-Recorder is suddenly
moved from cold to warm surroundings. It is not possible to play
a CD then. Leave the CD-Recorder in a warm environment until
the moisture evaporates.
