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 (and the disc has not
been finalized), additional material can be recorded.
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, and the space on the disc can be re- used for other
recordings.
However, you should note that an audio CD created using a
CD-RW disc may not play back satisfactorily on every audio
CD player.
CD-R, by contrast, may be played satisfactorily on the majority
of audio CD players.
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.
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 disk.
Note that a CD-RW disc that has been finalized can be
"unfinalized". This allows further tracks to be recorded to the
disc, provided that there is space on the disc.
< Repeat, shuffle and programmed playback don't work with
unfinalized (NO TOC) discs.
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, and has
enough space to record.
Remote Control Unit
The provided Remote Control Unit allows the unit to be
operated from a distance.
When operating the remote control unit, point it towards the
REMOTE SENSOR on the front panel of the unit.
< Even if the remote control unit is operated within the effective
range, remote control operation may be impossible if there
are any obstacles between the unit and the remote control.
< If the remote control unit is operated near other appliances
which generate infrared rays, or if other remote control
devices using infrared rays are used near the unit, it may
operate incorrectly. Conversely, the other appliances may
operate incorrectly.
Battery Installation
1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert two "AA" (R6, SUM-3) dry batteries. Make sure that the
batteries are inserted with their positive "+" and negative
"_" poles positioned correctly.
3. Close the cover.
Battery Replacement
If the distance required between the remote control unit and
main unit decreases, the batteries are exhausted. In this case
replace the batteries with new ones.
Precautions concerning batteries
< Be sure to insert the batteries with correct positive "+" and
negative "_" polarities.
< Use batteries of the same type. Never use different types of
batteries together.
< Rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries can be used.
Refer to the precautions on their labels.
< When the remote control unit is not to be used for a long
time (more than a month), remove the batteries from the
remote control unit to prevent them from leaking. If they leak,
wipe away the liquid inside the battery compartment and
replace the batteries with new ones.
< Do not heat or disassemble batteries and never dispose of old
batteries by throwing them in a fire.
