This product complies with the Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC), EMC Directives (89/336/EEC, 92/31/EEC) and CE-Marking Directive (93/68/EEC). IMPORTANT CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. CAUTION: TO PREVENT THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). [. . . ] If many tracks have been recorded, erased, and/or edited on the MD, the TOC information sector may become full (which prevents further recording) even if less than 255 tracks have been recorded. To record a new track on such an MD disc, use the "track erasing" function (see page 38 to 39). The disc may be damaged in one or more sections, which would automatically reduce the amount of time available for recording. Short tracks that are less than about 15 seconds long are not always counted as tracks. Normally, the smallest storage unit on the MD is a "cluster" which corresponds to about two seconds of recording time. Therefore, when each track is recorded, the storage units used for recording the track are rounded out to the nearest cluster, so the displayed amount of available recording time may be greater than the actual amount. Also, the disc may be damaged in one or more sections, which would automatically reduce the amount of time available for recording. (When such damage is detected, "DEFECT" appears in the display panel and the track number is automatically incremented. ) The combination function may not work on an MD that has been repeatedly recorded and/or edited. "DISC FULL" is displayed even when there is still some available recording time on the MD. Available recording time does not increase no matter how many short tracks are erased. The amount of recorded time and the amount available recording time do not add up to the maximum recording time. RECORDING ON AN MD Two songs cannot be combined by editing. When cuing a recorded track back or forward, the sound output sometimes pauses. Such pausing can occur when cuing back or forward if the MD has been repeatedly recorded and/or edited. Cautions concerning digital copies When recording from a CD to an MD using this system, the recording function uses digital signals. However, the MD that has the digital recording cannot be used as a source for copying to another MD or a DAT tape. This restriction is imposed by the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS). Digital recording Cannot record to another MD or DAT deck via a digital connection. CD/receiver Digital recording CD: Digital signals MD recorder MD: Digital signals Analog recording Can record to another MD or DAT deck using analog signals. 27 Recording a CD You can make a digital recording of a CD on an MD while playing the CD on the CD/receiver.
