from the CD-R/RW disc.
• If a CD-R disc that already has data written to it is
loaded, the message "Not Blank Disc" appears, and you
cannot proceed with the export. Be sure to use only
blank discs.
• If a CD-RW disc that already has data written to it is
loaded, the message "Erase Disc?" appears. Pressing
[ENTER] (YES) here begins erasure of the disc. After the
disc has been erased, the export process will continue.
• When a mono track is specified as the source for
exporting, the data is written as a mono waveform file.
When a stereo track is specified, the data is written as a
stereo waveform file.
• Tracks 7/8 are fixed as a permanent stereo pair, and so
cannot be specified as mono tracks.
Using the CD-R/RW Drive to Exchange Data
• To quit writing to the disc while writing is still in
progress, press [EXIT] (NO). When the message
"Cancel?" appears, press [ENTER] (YES); writing is
cancelled (it may take some time after you press [EXIT]
(NO) for the message to appear). However, no guarantee
can be made for the utility of the content up to the time
writing is cancelled.
• It will not be possible to reuse a CD-R disc for which
writing was canceled before completion.
