CD/CD-R/CD-RW COMPATIBLE WITH THIS UNIT

■ Discs that can be used for recording on
this unit

Be sure to use only CD-R and CD-RW discs made by reliable
manufacturers.
CD-R and CD-RW digital audio discs that display either of the
following marks can be used with this unit.

FOR CONSUMER
FOR CONSUMER USE
FOR MUSIC USE ONLY

■ Discs that can be used for recording

• CD-R discs can only be recorded on once, and the recorded

material cannot be erased.

• CD-RW discs can be recorded on, have the recorded material

erased, and then recorded on again.

■ Discs that cannot be used for recording on
this unit

• Discs bearing marks other than those shown above.

• Discs intended for recording computer data.

• Discs intended for professional use or labeled “FOR

PROFESSIONAL USE ONLY”.

■ 79-minute CD-R disc

The actual recordable time of the CD-R disc with “80” written on
its package is 79 minutes 57 seconds. This manual describes such
CD-R disc as “79-minute CD-R disc”.

■ Finalization of CD-R/CD-RW discs

To play back CD-R discs on a standard CD player and CD-RW
discs on CD-RW-compatible players, you need to perform the
process known as “finalization”. In the finalization process, the
Table of Contents (TOC) is written onto the discs.

Finalized CD-R discs

• CD-R discs can be played on a standard CD player.

• Further recording onto CD-R discs is not possible.

• Some CD players may not play back the finalized CD-R discs

properly due to differences in the playback system of different
manufacturers.

Finalized CD-RW discs

• CD-RW discs cannot be played on a standard CD player. CD-RW

discs can be played back on CD-RW-compatible players such as
this unit.

•Tracks written on CD-RW discs can be erased, and additional

tracks can be recorded after the TOC has been erased.

■ Discs that can be played back

In addition to CD-R and CD-RW digital audio discs described
previously, commercially available CDs bearing the marks shown
below can also be played on this unit. If you use the CDs that do
not meet CD standards, this unit may operate properly.

■ Playback of the CD-R disc copied with the
Audio Master Quality Recording mode

The Audio Master Quality Recording mode enables you to create a
CD with high quality sounds by increasing the linear velocity when
copying. The CD-R discs copied with this mode meet the CD
standards and can be played on a standard CD player. However,
some CD recorders may not play back these CD-R discs properly.

■ Playback on DVD players

Before playing back a finalized CD-R or CD-RW discs on a DVD
player, please check whether the DVD player is compatible with
CD-R or CD-RW discs or not. Refer to the owner’s manual of the
DVD player for more information. CD-R or CD-RW discs cannot
be played on a DVD player that is not compatible with CD-R or
CD-RW discs.

IMPORTANT

• Please check the copyright laws in your country to record
from records, CDs, radio, etc. Recording of copyright material
may infringe copyright laws.

■ Erasure or loss of data

Yamaha and suppliers accept no liability for the loss of data written
on the HDD and CD-R or CD-RW discs, or any problems caused as
a result of using this unit. As a precaution, it is recommended that
the discs are tested after they have been recorded on. Furthermore,
under no circumstances do Yamaha and suppliers guarantee the
reliability of the discs.

iv

NOTES ON DISCS

■ Handling of discs

Heed the following notes on handling of discs not to create any
cause for a recording failure, a loss of the recorded data, or a
malfunction of this unit.

• This compact disc recorder is designed for use with CDs
(including 8cm [3”] discs) bearing the following marks only.
Never attempt to load any other type of disc into this unit.

• CDs are not subjected to wear during play. However if the disc is
handled improperly, damage may be created on the disc to
adversely affect the disc’s play.

•When writing on the label side of CD-R or CD-RW discs, use an
oil-based felt-tipped pen.

• Do not use cleaning discs or warped discs. All of these could
damage this unit.

• Although playback of CDs is generally not affected by small
particles of dust or fingerprints on their playing surface, dust,
fingerprints, small scratches and direct sunlight on the recording
surface of a CD-R or CD-RW disc may make recording impos­sible. Therefore, for optimal performance of the recorder and for
long-term enjoyment of your CD collection, handle discs
correctly as outlined in the following guidelines.

1. Hold discs by touching only the edges or center hole. When

setting/removing a disc to/from the disc tray, be careful not to
damage the disc surface.

2. When a disc is not currently being used, remove it from the

recorder and store in an appropriate case.

3. With proper disc maintenance, cleaning should not be

necessary. However, should cleaning be required, wipe by
using a clean, dry cloth. Do not wipe with a circular motion;
wipe straight outward from the center.

■ To prevent a malfunction of this
unit

• Do not use any non-standard shaped CDs (heart, flower shaped,

etc.) available on the market, because they are off-balance in their
weight.
If a non-standard shaped CD is loaded into this unit, it may create
problems such as improper playback, opening the disc tray,
creating an usual noise, and this unit’s failure.

• Be sure to use a felt-tip pen or similar writing tool when writing

on the label side of the disc. Do not use a ball-point pen, pencil, or
other hard-tipped writing tool, as these may damage the disc and
may adversely affect further recording on the disc.

• Do not use the discs with glue left on their surface. It may get

stuck in this unit or create damage to this unit.

• When using an 8cm (3”) disc, do not place a normal 12cm (5”)

disc on top of it.

• Do not use the discs printed with commercially available label

printers.

• Do not try to clean the disc’s surface by using any type of disc
cleaner, record spray, antistatic spray or liquid, or any other
chemical-based liquid, because such substances might irreparably
damage the disc’s surface.

• Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high temperature, or high
humidity for a long period of time, because this might warp or
otherwise damage the disc.

No!

SELECTING THE GROUP OR TRACK MODE

■ Data on the HDD

The data recorded onto the built-in HDD of this unit will be numbered and organized based on the following concept:

Group

A collection of disc(s), album(s), and a bookmark are generically
called “group”.

Disc

One consequent recording is counted and numbered as one unit of
disc. The HDD of this unit can record 999 discs at maximum.
(However, the number of discs to be created may be less than 999
for the space availability on the HDD.) The maximum length of one
disc on the HDD is 179 minutes 59 seconds.

Album

A group of the source programs selected from different discs and
recorded as the playlist is called “album”. “Album” corresponds to
the “program” function (to play back favorite tracks in the desired
order) of a standard CD player. This unit can record 999 albums at
maximum onto the HDD.

Bookmark

This unit can make a temporary bookmark on a favorite track as
playing back. The list of the program sources marked is called
“bookmark”. This marking is temporary and cannot be duplicated.
However, an album can be easily created by copying the
bookmarked tracks (P.54).

Track

99 tracks can be recorded onto a disc at maximum. (However the
number of discs tracks to be recorded may be less than 99 for the
space availability on the HDD.) One track must be 4 seconds at
shortest and 179 minutes 59 seconds at longest.

SELECTING THE GROUP OR TRACK MODE

■ Data on CDs

You can operate CDs (including CD-R and CD-RW) set in the CDR drive by group (disc or bookmark) or track.

Group

When operating CDs (including CD-R and CD-RW), you can select
disc or bookmark as a group. Since the unit can only read one disc
at a time, the number of discs available on a CD is always one. In
addition, bookmarks on a CD will be erased if CD is removed from
the unit or the unit is turned off.

Track

The number of tracks recorded onto a disc varies. Also, storage
capacity varies depending types of discs. For details, refer to
descriptions stated in each disc.
