[. . . ] D00680501B CD Duplicator Professional OWNER'S MANUAL Ü ÿ Y This appliance has a serial number located on the rear panel. Please record the model number and serial number and retain them for your records. Model number Serial number CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. 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. [. . . ] However, there are precautions that you should take when handling CD-R discs which are different to those you should take when handling ordinary CDs. 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 discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. 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 discs in their "jewel cases" to avoid dirt and dust accumulating on their surfaces. Do not put labels or protective sheets on the discs and do not use any protective coating spray. When labeling CD-R discs, always use a soft oilbased 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. Dirty discs may be cleaned using a soft dry cloth and/ or a commercial CD cleaning fluid or ethyl alcohol. Do not use thinner, gasoline, benzene or LP cleaning fluid, as these will damage the disc. If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a CD-R disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly. It is important that you do not use CD lens cleaners (including CD-R or CD-ROM lens cleaners) with the CD-D1x4. The reason for this is that the drives in this unit rotate at a much higher speed than those of an audio CD unit, and accordingly, the pickup lenses of the drives may be damaged by an ordinary CD lens cleaner. Discs recommended for use with the CD-D1x4 For optimum performance, we recommend the use of TEAC brand CD-R and CD-RW media. Since the CD-D1x4 is capable of recording CD-R media at up to 16x speed, and high speed CD-RW media at up to 10x speed, make sure that media used with the CD-D1x4 can be written at these speeds. Only use high speed CD-RW media (as marked on the packaging--an example of the logo is given in "About CD-R and CD-RW discs" on page 6) for high-speed operations on rewritable discs. You may obtain an updated list of recommended media (CD-R and CD-RW discs) at the TASCAM Web site (www. tascam. com). 10 TASCAM CD-D1x4 4 ­ Basic operations Power-up procedure When the unit is first powered up using the power switch 1, it performs a self-check operation, and the screen shows the following: P l ea s e wait. . . If the self-check is passed, the display shows the first menu screen, otherwise an error message is displayed. COPY START?(FAST) followed by: T AS C A M C D- D 1 x 4 NOTE Wait until this message is displayed after power-on before attempting any operations with the CD-D1x4. Inserting discs Press the eject button of the MASTER or any of the slave drives to open the appropriate disc tray if the drive is not opened automatically by the unit. Place discs, recording side down, in the disc tray. To insert the discs into the MASTER drive, you may find it useful to place the front of the disc into the disc tray first, and then seat the back of the disc into the tray. You can close the disc trays by pressing the eject button on the drive. NOTE When inserting a disc into either the MASTER or slave drives, always wait until the drive indicator has gone out (the drive has recognized the disc) before attempting the next operation. [. . . ] All other operations are carried out as usual. NOTE 2 3 Turn on the rear power switches and then turn on the front power switches (always turning on the slave first). If you turn off the SLAVE unit when two units are connected in cascade mode, the MASTER unit cannot be used.
