The voltage supplied to the unit should match the
voltage as printed on the rear panel. If you are in any
doubt regarding this matter, consult an electrician.

Unpacking the unit

When you unpack the unit, make sure that you have,
in addition to the unit itself:
• The RC-RA1000 wired remote control unit, with
5m (15ft) of cord
• Power cord
• A rack mounting kit (screws and washers)
• Warranty information
• A Quick Reference Guide.

Beware of condensation

If the unit (or a disc) is moved from a cold to a warm
place, or used after a sudden temperature change,
there is a danger of condensation; vapor in the air
could condense on the internal mechanism, making

About CD-R and CD-RW discs

The DV-RA1000 uses CD-R and CD-RW media, and
can also use CD-R and CD-RW Digital Audio media.
• CD-R media up to 48x are supported.
• Use only CD-RW media rated at 1x to 4x (Multi
Speed) or 4x to 10x (High Speed). Audio CD-RW
media are generally unmarked, but fall within these
limits. The DV-RA1000 cannot record on Ultra
Speed, and Ultra Speed+ (that is, over 8x) CD-RW
media.
In this manual, when we refer to "CD-R" and "CD-
RW" discs, we always include "CD-R Digital Audio"
and "CD-RW Digital Audio", even when this is not
explicitly stated.
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, 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 disc can be erased,
1 – Introduction
NOTE
When transporting the unit, always use the original
packing materials. For this reason, we strongly recom-
mend that you save all the packing materials that came
with the DV-RA1000, in case you need to transport it in
the future.
In addition, when transporting the unit, you should
tape the disc tray closed, using an adhesive tape that
will not spoil the finish of the unit.
correct operation impossible. To prevent this, or if
this occurs, leave the player for one or two hours with
the power turned on, then turn the power off and on
again.
and the disc can be re-used for other recordings. The
packaging of CD-RW discs will include one of the
following logos:

However, you should note that an audio CD created
using a CD-RW disc may not play back satisfactorily
on every audio CD player. It will, naturally, be play-
able on the DV-RA1000. This is in no way a limita-
tion of the DV-RA1000 itself, but of the difference
between the different types of media and the methods
used to read them.
CD-R discs created on the DV-RA1000, by contrast,
may be played satisfactorily on the majority of audio
CD players.
