1 - Introduction-Special notes CDs either for playing or recording, even with a "single" adaptor. Environmental considerations The CD-RW4U may be used in most areas, but to maintain top performance, and prolong operating life, observe the following environmental conditions: The nominal temperature should be between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F). The CD-RW4U is more sensitive to extremes of temperature than ordinary CD players. Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 degrees noncondensing. As the unit may become hot during operation, always leave sufficient space above the unit for ventilation. You should not place the unit on a piece of equipment generating heat, e.g. an amplifier, to avoid pos- Use of the remote control unit When using the remote control unit, make sure: • There is a clear unobstructed path between the remote control unit and the remote sensor 2 on the main unit. • The remote control unit is located within 5 m (15 ft.) of the main unit, and is pointing at approximately right angles (±30°) to the front panel. When fitting or replacing the batteries: sible problems with overheating. Also, you should avoid placing anything on the unit while it is in operation, for the same reason. The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage as printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this matter, consult an electrician. NOTE When transporting the unit, always use the original packing materials. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you save all the packing materials that came with the CDRW4U, in case you need to transport it in the future. In addition, when transporting the unit, you should tape the disc tray closed, using an adhesive tape that will not spoil the finish of the unit. • Always make sure that both batteries are replaced together. Do not mix old and new batteries. • Do not mix batteries of different types. • Always make sure that the batteries are located with the correct polarity (the positive terminals of the batteries should match the + markings inside the battery compartment, and the negative terminals should match the - markings). • If you are not going to use the remote control unit for an extended period of time, remove the batteries. Old batteries can leak, casing damage to the remote control unit. • Always dispose of old batteries in the way recommended by your local garbage disposal authorities. Beware of condensation If the unit (or a compact disc) is moved from a cold to a warm place, or used after a sudden temperature change, there is a danger of condensation; vapor in the air could condense on the internal mechanism, About CD-R and CD-RW discs The CD-RW4U uses CD-R and CD-RW media, and can also use CD-R and CD-RW Digital Audio media. In this manual, when we refer to "CD-R" and CDRW" discs, we always include "CD-R Digital Audio" and "CD-RW Digital Audio", even when this is not explicitly stated. making correct operation impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs, leave the unit for one or two hours with the power turned on, then turn the power off and on again. 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. The pack- 8 TASCAM CD-RW4U
