If the power supply is disrupted (i.e. the

battery is removed or becomes exhausted or

the AC power adaptor is disconnected) during

a recording or editing operation, or while

“Edit” appears in the display, it will not be

possible to open the lid until power is restored.

•

Note the following when recording from a

portable CD player:

—Some portable CD players may not be

capable of digital out when the AC power

adaptor is disconnected. If this is the case,

connect the AC power adaptor to the

portable CD player and use it on AC power

as the power source.

—On some portable CD players, optical

output may not be possible when using an

anti-skip function (e.g., ESP* or G-

the anti-skip function.
