1 - Introduction Precautions for use SD cards are delicate media. In order to avoid damaging a card or the card slot, please take the following precautions when handling them. •• Do not leave them in extremely hot or cold places. •• Do not leave them in extremely humid places. •• Do not let them get wet. •• Do not put things on top of them or twist them. •• Do not hit them. •• Do not remove or insert an SD card when the power is ON. About CDs (Compact Discs) In addition to Audio CDs, this unit can play CD-R and CDRW discs on which Audio CD (CD-DA) format files are recorded. The unit can also play 8cm CDs. Precautions for use •• Use only CD, CD-R and CD-RW discs that bear the following logos. CD-R CD-RW •• Always place the compact discs in the trays with their label facing upward. •• 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. •• Do not touch the signal side (the unlabeled side). Fingerprints, oils and other substances can cause errors during recording. •• 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. •• Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions, benzine, paint thinner or other chemical agents to clean CDs. This could damage the delicate playing surface and cause CDs to become unplayable. •• 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. •• Never use a commercially available CD stabilizer. Using stabilizers with this unit will damage the mechanism and cause it to malfunction. •• Do not use cracked discs. •• Only use circular compact discs. Do not use non- circular promotional, etc. discs. •• Some record companies sell copy-protected discs or copy-controlled discs that may not play back correctly in this unit. Since such discs may not conform with the CD standard, do not use them in this unit. •• If you experience problems with such non-standard discs, you should contact the producers of the disc. About CD-R and CD-RW discs CD-R discs can be recorded only once. Tracks (songs) recorded in such discs cannot be deleted. However, if the disc has not been finalized and sufficient space is available on the disc, additional material can be recorded. After finishing recording, finalizing a CD-R makes it playable in most ordinary CD players (some CD players might not be able to play these discs). If a CD-RW disc becomes full, you can erase the recorded data to allow reuse. However, you cannot designate specific songs for erasure. Even after being finalized, CD-RW discs can only be played in players that specifically support their playback. 10 TASCAM DP-24
