4 - Basic operations Power-up procedure When the unit is first powered up using the power switch 1, it performs a self-check operation, and the screen shows the following: Please wait... followed by: TASCAM CD-D1x4 Inserting discs Press the eject button of the MASTER or any of the slave drives to open the appropriate disc tray if the drive is not opened automatically by the unit. Place discs, recording side down, in the disc tray. To insert the discs into the MASTER drive, you may find it useful to place the front of the disc into the disc tray first, and then seat the back of the disc into the tray. You can close the disc trays by pressing the eject button on the drive. Power down Before powering down the unit, eject discs from all drives (the eject mechanism requires power to work, and so you will not be able to eject the discs once power is turned off). Modes The different modes available are: • Copying discs (COPY START) with different verification modes available (see below) • Test writing (SIMULATION) • Extracting individual audio tracks from a source disc (Tr EXTRACTION) • Confirming whether blank discs are inserted (DISC ANALYZE) • Erasing (DISC ERASE)-CD-RW discs only • Play audio discs (PLAY AUDIO) • System setup, including write speed selection (SETUP) If the self-check is passed, the display shows the first menu screen, otherwise an error message is displayed. COPY START? (FAST) NOTE Wait until this message is displayed after power-on before attempting any operations with the CD-D1x4. NOTE When inserting a disc into either the MASTER or slave drives, always wait until the drive indicator has gone out (the drive has recognized the disc) before attempting the next operation. Also, take note that it may take some time between key presses, etc. before the unit is ready to perform the next stage in the operation. To avoid any possible error in operation, take your time when pushing keys, and always wait until the CD-D1x4 is ready before proceeding to the next stage of an operation. NOTE Do not turn off the CD-D1x4 while writing to, or erasing any target disc (e.g. part of the way through a disc copy operation). If you do, the disc will be corrupt, and unusable. These are accessed in the order shown by repeated presses of the MODE key. Use the ESCAPE key to go backwards through the list. Details of these modes are given later in this manual. When the required mode is shown on the display, press the ENTER key to enter the mode. When copying, there are additional copy modes available, providing verification and readability checking, as described below. Finalized discs Although audio data may be writ- ten 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 TASCAM CD-D1x4 11
