About finalizing

Although audio data may be written on a CD-R or CD-RW disc,
a standard CD player will not be able to read the data (i.e. play
back the audio) until a final *TOC has been written at the start of
the disc.
* TOC:Table of contents
Information of recorded data, which contains titles, starting
and ending addresses, and etc..
The process of writing this table of contents is known as
"finalizing". Once this has been done, no further data can be
written to the disc. See "Finalizing" on page 27 for details. In
the case of a CD-RW disc which has been finalized, the whole of
the disc may be erased, or the disc may be "refreshed", and the
disc re-used.
In addition, a CD-RW disc that has been finalized may be
"unfinalized", i.e. only the TOC is removed. This allows further
tracks to be recorded to the disc, provided that there is space on
the disc.

Recordable discs

In this manual, we use the term "recordable" disc to describe
a CD-R or CD-RW disc that has not been finalized, i.e. further
recording is possible on the disc.

Slot loading of discs

1.
As shown in the illustration, hold the disc with the labeled
side up and insert it part way into the slot.
2.
Push the disc in a little further and it will be pulled in
automatically just before it disappears into the slot.
Trouble inserting a disc
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 key and then try inserting it again.
(Trying to force the disc in could damage the unit.)
1 – Introduction

Use of the remote control unit

o Do not expose the infra-red receiver (light receptive area
on the front panel) to direct sunlight or intense light for
extended periods of time. Long exposure to this light may
result in failure of the remote control sensor.
o When the remote control will not be used over one month,
please remove the batteries to prevent the possibility of
battery acid leakage which could damage the unit. Should
leakage occur, remove and discard the batteries, and wipe
the battery case thoroughly with a cloth. Avoid getting the
battery liquid on the skin. After cleaning, replace with new

batteries.

o The remote control functions by using an infrared light
signal. When using the unit to control the CD-RW900SX,
other devices that are turned on could be operated by its
signal.
o If the range of remote operation becomes smaller, or
commands do not always function properly, the batteries
have become weak and should be replaced. Always replace
both batteries with new batteries of the same type.
o Point the remote control to the remote sensor on the main
unit. Do not obstruct the path between the remote control
and the remote sensor.
Batteries
If batteries are used improperly, or if leakage or breakage occurs,
the unit will not function.
Please observe the cautions indicated on the batteries and their
packaging to ensure proper usage.
o Confirm ¥ and ^ polarity and follow the indications when
inserting new batteries into the remote control.
o Do not use old and new batteries together.
o Even if the battery is the same size, the voltage may differ. Do
not use batteries of different specifications together.
o Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are
nonrechargeable.
o Do not open or disassemble batteries, throw them into a fire
or put them in water.
Inserting batteries
1.
Open the lid.
2.
