Important Notes
Handling CD-ROM/CD-R/
CD-RW Discs
• DO NOT play a CD-R/RW disc (CD-R/RW disc on which
song data has been backed up) on a conventional audio

could cause permanent hearing loss. Damage to speakers
or other system components may result.

• Do not touch the recorded surface of the disc.
• Do not use in dusty areas.
• Do not leave the disc in direct sunlight or an enclosed
vehicle.
• Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside
(encoded surface) of the disc. Damaged or dirty discs may
not read/write properly. Keep your discs clean using a
commercially available CD cleaner.
• Keep the disc in the case.
• Do not keep the disc in the CD-RW drive for a long time.
• Do not put a sticker on the label of the disc.
• Wipe the disc with a soft and dry cloth radially from

any kind.

connection with an external instrument, this unit can

This is because the unit is intended solely for musical

tions as long as it is used to record works (such as your
own compositions) that do not infringe on the copyrights
of others. (SCMS is a feature that prohibits second-gener-
ation and later copying through a digital connection. It is
built into MD recorders and other consumer digital-audio
equipment as a copyright-protection feature.)

• Do not use this unit for purposes that could infringe on a
copyright held by a third party. We assume no responsi-
bility whatsoever with regard to any infringements of
third-party copyrights arising through your use of this
unit.
