1 − Introduction
About CD-R and CD-RW discs
CD-R discs can be recorded once only. Once they have been used
for recording, they cannot be erased or re-recorded. However, if
space is available on the disc, additional material can be recorded. The pack-aging of CD-R discs will include one of the following logos:
By contrast, a CD-RW disc can be used in much the same way as
a CD-R disc, but the last track or tracks recorded can be erased
before the disc has been “finalized”, and the space on the disc
can be re- used for other recordings. The packaging of CD-RW
discs will include the logo one of the following logos:
High Speed
However, you should note that an audio CD created using a
CD-RW disc may not play back satisfactorily on every audio CD
player. It will, naturally, be playable on the CD-RW900MKII.
This is in no way a limitation of the CD-RW900MKII itself, but
of the difference between the different types of media and the
methods used to read them.
There are precautions that you should take when handling CD-R
and CD-RW discs.
Avoid touching the recording (non-label) side of a disc on
•
which you will be recording. Recording on a disc requires
a cleaner surface than playing back, and fingerprints,
grease, etc. can cause errors in the recording process.
CD-R and CD-RW discs are sensitive to the effects of
•
heat and ultraviolet rays. It is important that they are not
stored in a location where direct sunlight will fall on
them, and which is away from sources of heat such as
radiators or heat-generating electrical devices.
Always store CD-R and CD-RW discs in their cases to
•
avoid dirt and dust accumulating on their surfaces.
When labeling CD-R and CD-RW discs, always use a
•
soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information.
Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this may
cause damage to the recorded side.
Always keep the recording sides of the discs away from
•
grime and dust to avoid a reduction in sound quality.
To clean a disc, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth from
the center towards the outside edge. Do not use thinner,
gasoline, benzene or LP cleaning f luid, as these will
damage the disc and cause the disc unplayable.
Do not put labels or protective sheets on the discs and do
•
not use any protective coating spray.
If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a
•
CD-R and CD-RW discs, read the precautions supplied
with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly.
About finalizing
Although audio data may be written on a CD-R or CD-RW disc,
a standard CD player will not be able to read the data (i.e. play
back the audio) until a final *TOC has been written at the start of
the disc.
*TOC:Table of contents
Information of recorded data, which contains titles, starting
and ending addresses, and etc..
The process of writing this table of contents is known as “finalizing”. Once this has been done, no further data can be written to
the disc. See “Finalizing” on page 28 for details. In the case of a
Recordable discs
In this manual, we use the term “recordable” disc to describe a
CD-R or CD-RW disc that has not been finalized, i.e. further
recording is possible on the disc.
8 TASCAM CD-RW900MKII
CD-RW disc which has been finalized, the whole of the disc may
be erased, or the disc may be “refreshed”, and the disc re-used.
In addition, a CD-RW disc that has been finalized may be “unfinalized”, i.e. only the TOC is removed. This allows further tracks
to be recorded to the disc, provided that there is space on the disc.
NOTE
Environmental considerations
NOTE
1 − Introduction
The CD -RW900MKII may be used in most areas, but to maintain
top performance, and prolong operating life, observe the following environmental conditions:
The nominal temperature should be between 5°C and
•
35°C (41°F and 95°F).
Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 percent.
•
As the unit may become hot during operation, always
•
leave sufficient space above the unit for ventilation. Do
not install this unit in a confined space such as a bookcase, and do not put anything on top of the unit.
Handling of compact discs
The CD -RW900MKII has been designed for the playback of
CD-DA (standard audio) format discs and MP3 files recorded
on the discs using the ISO9660 format: In addition to ordinary
5-inch and 3-inch CDs, it can also play properly recorded CD-R
and CD-RW discs.
Always insert the compact discs into the unit with their
•
label facing upward.
To remove a disc from its case, press down on the center
•
of the disc holder, then lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.
Avoid installing this unit on top of any heat-generating
•
electrical device such as a power amplifier.
Make sure that the unit is mounted in a level position for
•
correct operation.
The voltage supplied to the unit should match the
voltage as printed on the rear panel. If you are in any
doubt regarding this matter, consult an electrician.
benzene, paint thinner or other chemical agents to clean
CDs as they could damage the delicate playing surface.
It may cause CDs to become unplayable.
Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid
•
serious scratches that could cause the laser pickup to “skip.”
Keep discs away from direct sunlight, and places of
•
high heat and humidity. If left in such places, warping
could result.
Do not affix any labels or stickers to the label side of the
•
disc. Do not write on the disc with a ballpoint pen.
Do not insert discs that have adhesive remaining from
•
tape or stickers that have been removed. If they are
inserted into the player, they could stick to the internal
mechanism, requiring removal by a technician.
Do not use cracked discs.
•
Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non-circu-
•
lar promotional, etc. discs.
Avoid getting fingerprints on the signal side (the non-
•
label side). Grime and dust may cause skipping, so keep
discs clean and store them in their cases when not being
played. To clean the signal side of a disc, wipe gently
with a soft dry cloth from the center towards the outside
edge.
Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions,
•
Never use a stabilizer or printable discs
Using commercially available CD stabilizers or printable recordable discs with this player will damage the mechanism and cause
it to malfunction.
Never use a disc that has had a stabilizer mounted to
it. The residual adhesive may cause the disc to stick to
the turntable of the CD-RW900MKII. If it sticks to the
turntable, you will need a technician to get it out.
Music discs with copy control, a copy-protection
