SD card write-protection switches

SD cards have write-protection switches that prevent writing
new data to them.
If you slide the protect switch to the LOCK position, file record-
ing and editing will not be possible. Unlock cards to enable
changing their data, including recording and erasing.

Inserting and removing discs

(SS-CDR250N only)

Inserting discs

With the disc label up, insert it partway into the disc slot.
Push the disc in a little further and it will be pulled in automati-
cally just before it disappears into the slot.
CAUTION
i Discs cannot be inserted when the power is off.
i If the disc becomes stuck during insertion, for example, and
is difficult to push, do not try to force the disc in. Pull the disc
out once and press the EJECT button and then try inserting it
again. (Trying to force the disc in could scratch it or damage
the unit.)
i If a disc other than an audio CD is inserted or a disc is insert-
ed upside down, "NO MEDIA" will continue to appear on the
display. Press the EJECT button and eject the disc.

Ejecting discs

Press the EJECT button.
Holding it by its sides, pull it out the rest of the way.
CAUTION
The EJECT button does not function when the unit is off.

Force disc ejection

If pressing the EJECT button does not eject the disc because the
CD drive is not functioning, for example, you can use the disc
force ejection (emergency) hole to force the disc to eject.
Turn the unit off (put it in standby) before forcing the disc to
eject using the following procedures.
1.
Use a paper clip or other fine pin-like tool.
2.
Insert the pin into the disc force ejection (emergency) hole
as far as possible and repeat several times.
3.
After the disc is ejected partway, pull it out by hand.
CAUTION
i This function is provided for emergencies. Follow the usual
procedures for ejecting discs normally.(See "Ejecting discs" on
page 28.)
i Never force disc ejection when the power is on.
Connecting and disconnecting USB
flash drives
You can connect and disconnect USB flash drives whether the
unit is on or off.
CAUTION
Never disconnect a USB flash drive when it is being accessed,
such as in the cases listed below.
Doing so could cause proper recording to fail, recorded data
to be lost, and sudden loud noises from monitoring equip-
ment, which might damage the equipment, harm hearing or
cause other trouble.
Moreover, removing a card during FIRMWARE UPDATE execu-
tion could result in the unit becoming unable to start up or
operate properly.
o When recording
o During playback
o During SYSTEM BACKUP IMPORT or EXPORT execution
o During FIRMWARE UPDATE execution (See "Firmware up-
date procedures (USB flash drives and SD cards only)" on
page 101.)
o When the BROWSE screen is open and the USB flash drive is
being accessed
