TASCAM CD-RW900SX 7

1 – Introduction
Beware of condensation
Condensation could occur if the unit is moved from a cold place
to a warm place, it is used immediately after a cold room has
been heated or it is otherwise exposed to a sudden temperature
change.
To prevent this, or if this occurs, let the unit sit for one or two
hours at the new room temperature before using it.
Cleaning the unit
Use a dry soft cloth to wipe the unit clean. Do not wipe
with chemical cleaning cloths, thinner, alcohol or other
chemical agents. Doing so could damage the surface or cause
discoloration.
About compact discs
In addition to commercially-available music CDs, this unit can
play CD-R and CD-RW discs that have been recorded in audio CD
(CD-DA) format, as well as CD-R and CD-RW discs that have MP3
and WAV audio les recorded on them.
ATTENTION
8cm CDs cannot be used with this unit. If an 8cm CD is
loaded, it will be automatically ejected. If it stops ejecting
before it can be removed, press the EJECT key.
Precautions for use
o For recording, use compact discs that have one of the
following marks.
CD-R
CD-RW
o Always insert the compact discs in the slot with their label
facing upward.
o To remove a disc from its case, press down on the center of
the disc holder, then lift the disc out, holding it carefully by
the edges.
o Do not touch the signal side (the unlabeled side).
Fingerprints, oils and other substances can cause errors
during playback.
o To clean the signal side of a disc, wipe gently with a soft dry
cloth from the center towards the outside edge. Dirt on discs
can lower the sound quality, so clean them and always store
them in a clean state.
o Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions, benzene,
paint thinner or other chemical agents to clean CDs as they
could damage the delicate playing surface. It may cause CDs
to become unplayable.
o Do not apply labels or other materials to discs. Do not use
discs that have had tape, stickers or other materials applied
to their surface. Do not use discs that have sticky residue
from stickers, etc. Such discs could become stuck in the unit
or cause it to malfunction.
o Never use a commercially available CD stabilizer. Using
stabilizers with this player will damage the mechanism and
cause it to malfunction.
o Do not use cracked discs.
o Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non-circular
promotional, etc. discs.
o Music discs with copy control, a copy-protection system,
have been released from several record companies in an
attempt to protect the copyright. Since some of these discs
do not comply with the CD specications, they may not be
playable on the unit.
o If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a CD-R
and CD-RW discs, read the precautions supplied with the
disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly.
About CD-R and CD-RW discs
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 nalizing a CD-R that you have nished using
for recording, you can make it playable by most ordinary CD
players. (Some CD players might not be able to play back CD-R
discs even if they are nalized.)
CD-RW discs allow recorded tracks to be erased to make space
available again, allowing disc reuse. However, tracks can only
be erased in the order from the last added. To erase a track in
the middle, you must erase all the tracks added after it at the
same time. Finalized CD-RW discs can only be played back in CD
players that support CD-RW disc playback.
8TASCAM CD-RW900SX

1 – Introduction
About nalizing
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 nal *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
“nalizing”. 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 nalized, 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 nalized may be
“unnalized”, 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 nalized, 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
dicult 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.)
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 Conrm ¥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 dier. Do
not use batteries of dierent specications together.
o Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are
nonrechargeable.
o Do not open or disassemble batteries, throw them into a re
or put them in water.
Inserting batteries
1. Open the lid.
2. Conrm ¥/^polarity, and insert two AAA batteries.
3. Close the lid.
