To insert the batteries into the
remote control
Slide and remove the battery compartment lid, and
then insert the two supplied R6 (size AA) batteries
( end first) matching the polarities as shown
below.
When the remote control is no longer able to

Notes
Mishandling of the batteries may result in battery
leakage or an explosion. Make sure to do the following:
— Insert the batteries with their + and – polarities
correctly positioned.
— Do not mix an old battery with new one, or mix
different types of batteries.
— Do not charge the batteries.
— Remove the batteries when not using the remote
control for a long period of time.
— If battery leakage occurs, wipe up the battery
fluid in the battery compartment and insert new
batteries.
Keep the remote sensor away from strong light (such as
from the sun or lighting equipment). This may prevent
the remote control from operating the unit.
With normal use, the battery should last about six
months. When the remote control is no longer able to
operate the unit, replace both batteries with new ones.

Notes
When recording a CD, the unit may produce more
noise and vibration than during CD playback. This is
because of the higher disc rotation speed used during
recording and is not a malfunction. The amount of
noise or vibration produced will vary depending on the
CD type.
If the title information contains characters that the
unit cannot display, those characters are replaced by an
underscore (“_”).
If you record audio data which does not have track
marks (for example, a recording of a live concert), the
unit automatically adds track marks and inserts several
seconds of blank space between songs.
Tips
If title information cannot be found or incorrect, use
the “Title Updater” software to add the latest title
information (page 46). You can edit title information
as well (the unit supports alphanumeric character and
symbol input) (page 52).
