Before Use
• The nominal temperature should be
between 41°F and 95°F (5°C and
35°C). The CD-RW recorder is more
sensitive to extremes of temperature
than ordinary CD players.
• Relative humidity should be 30 to 90%
non-condensing.
Compact Discs
Depending on the quality of the disc and/or
the condition of the recording, some CD-R
and CD-RW discs may not be playable.
About CD-R and CD-RW Discs
Caution: Please use CD-R and CD-RW
discs bearing the “DIGITAL AUDIO” mark.
You cannot use CD-R and CD-RW discs
designed for computing systems with this
CD recorder for recording, though you can
use them for play.
In this manual, although we refer to “CD-R”
and “CD-RW” discs, we always mean “CD-R
Digital Audio” and “CD-RW Digital Audio,”
even when this is not explicitly stated.
You can record CD-R discs only once. Once
you used them for recording, you cannot
erase or re-record. However, if space is
available on the disc and if the disc is not
finalized, you can record additional
material. The packaging of CD-R discs
includes this logo below.
By contrast, you can use a CD-RW disc in
much the same way as a CD-R disc, but you
can erase the last track or all the tracks, and
you can use the space on the disc for other
recordings. The packaging of CD-RW discs
includes a logo similar to the following:
However, you should note that an audio CD
created using a CD-RW disc may not play
back satisfactorily on every audio CD-
player. By contrast, you may be able to play
CD-R satisfactorily on the majority of audio
CD players.
CDs that can be played on this CD recorder
have this mark on them.
Finalizing
Although audio data may be written on a
CD-R or CD-RW disc, a standard CD player
will not be able to play back the audio until
a final table of contents (TOC) has been
written at the start of the disc.
