CDR1000—Owner’s Manual
• Do not block theCDR1000 ventilationslots.The CDR1000 has ventilationslots at the
side and a cooling fan at the rear to keep the internal components cool.Blocking the
ventilation slots or obstructing the fan’s airflow is a potential fire hazard.
Cautions
• Allowenoughfreespacearoundtheunitfornormalventilation.Thisshouldbe:10cm
at the sides,40 cm behind, and 30 cm above. These distances should also be adopted
when rack-mounting the CDR1000. For normal ventilation during use, remove the
rearof the rackoropen aventilationhole.If theairflowis notadequate,the CDR1000
will heat up inside and may cause a fire.
• Do not look at the laser beam.You may damage your vision.
• Use the CDR1000 in an environment where the temperature is between 5˚C and 35˚C
(41˚F and 95˚F).
• Turnoff audio deviceswhen connecting themto theCDR1000,and useonly thecables
specified in the relevant owner’s manuals.
• If you plan not to use the CDR1000 for a long period of time, remove the power cord
from theAC outlet.Leaving the CDR1000 connected is a potential fire hazard.
• Do not use benzene,thinner,cleaning detergent,or a chemical cloth to clean the
CDR1000.Use only a soft,dry cloth.
• Do not attempt to move the CDR1000 during recording.Doing so may interrupt the
recording process and render the disc unusable.
• If the CDR1000 is stored in a cold place (e.g., overnight in a car), and then moved to a
warmer environment,or the temperature rises sharply,condensationmayform inside
the CDR1000,which may affect performance.In such cases,the CDR1000 should be
allowed to acclimatize for about one hour before use.
Handling Discs
• Use only discs of the type specified in this
Owner’s Manual
.
• Store discs in a place free from extreme temperatures,humidity,dust,and dirt.
• Always store discs in their cases.
• When handling discs, be careful not to touch the surface.Hold discs by the edge.Fin-
gerprints, smudges,scratches,or dirt can affect recording and playback.
• Be careful not to scratch the labeled side of the disc. Even scratches on this side of the
disc can affect recording and playback.
• Fingerprints and dust should be removed by wiping gently from the center of the disc
towards the disc edge,using a soft,dry cloth. Never wipe in a circular motion.
• For stubborn stains and dirt, use a cleaning kit designed specifically for use with CDs.
• For disc marking,use only pens specifically designed for writing on CDs.
• If adisc isstoredin acoldplace(e.g.,overnightin acar),and thenmovedto a warmer

face,which may affect performance. In such cases,the disc should be allowed to accli-
matize for about one hour before use.
