Handling the CD-R/RW media
Please observe the following points when handling
the disk.
Failure to do so may cause problems such as the
recorded data being lost, the drive to malfunction, or
the printed label to become blurred.
• Do not place the disk in locations of direct sun-
light, high temperature, or high humidity.
• Do not touch either surface of the disk.
• Hold the disk at the edges. Gently wipe dust or
dirt off of the recording surface of the disk.
• Do not wipe the disk with chemicals or deter-
gents.
• Do not bend or drop the disk.
• Use an air duster or cleaner to remove dust. Vigor-
ously rubbing the surface of the disk with a dry
cloth may scratch the disk.
• Do not write on the disk or affix labels to it.
Storing produced data
Produced data can be lost due to breakdown or mis-
taken operation. We recommend that you store all
important data on CD-R or CD-RW disks or other
external storage medium.
Responsibility for loss of data,
etc.
• Yamaha will accept no responsibility for any dam-
ages (including consequential or incidental)
incurred by the customer or any third party as a
result of loss or impairment of the data stored on
the CD-R media, regardless of whether such loss
could have been or actually was foreseen by
Yamaha.
• Nor does Yamaha guarantee the media against any
defect that may render it unusable.
Cautions for handling optional
equipment
• For inquiries concerning I/O card, hard disk, or
CD-RW drive handling, please consult your
Yamaha dealer.
• Always switch off the power for the main unit and
all peripherals, unplug the power cord for the
main unit from the outlet, then disconnect the
cables connecting the main unit with the peripher-
als before starting installation work.
• Wear thick gloves when working on this equip-
ment to avoid cutting your hands on metal fittings
or the like on the main unit, I/O card, hard disk, or
CD-RW drive.
• Always touch a well-grounded metal surface or
the like to fully discharge any static electric charge
on your body and clothing before starting to work
on this equipment.
• Take extreme care to avoid touching any terminals
or board surface parts.
• In order to protect the electronic circuits of the I/O
card, hard disk, CD-RW drive, etc. from damage
due to static electricity, when handling any of this
equipment, take the most extreme care to avoid
touching IC leads or other electronic parts.
• Be careful not to drop any screws into the main
unit. If you switch the power on with a dropped
screw still in the main unit, the main unit may
malfunction or break down. If a dropped screw
can not be retrieved, consult your Yamaha dealer.
• If the hard disk or CD-RW drive breaks down, con-
tact the store where you purchased that equip-
ment.
Except for duplication for personal use or when there
is no copyright problem, the duplication or transfer of
commercially sold music/sound data without the per-
mission of the copyright holder is prohibited. When
using this equipment, please consult with a copyright
specialist.
