MR16 Supplementary manual
(for the MR16 without a CD-R/RW drive)
How to use the CD-R/RW drive
This supplementary manual describes how to create an audio CD (CD-DA) by
connecting an external CD-R/RW drive to the [USB HOST] port on the rear panel.
Read this supplementary together with the main manual before you attempt to
create an audio CD using an external CD-R/RW drive.
Important! CD-R/RW drives which can be connected to the MR16
You can connect the MR16 [USB HOST] port to any CD-R/RW drive which has a [USB] port and
can be powered by AC main or batteries. The MR16 does not provide USB bus power facility
(which allows supplying power to an external device from the unit), therefore, you cannot
connect a CD-R/RW drive which only can be powered by USB connection.
Also note that the models which can be used with the MR16 may change. Check the update
information of the currently available CD-R/RW drives from Fostex website (http://
www.fostex.com) before purchasing a drive unit.
