Handling the CD-R/RW media Please observe the following points when handling the disk. Failure to do so may cause problems such as the recorded data being lost, the drive to malfunction, or the printed label to become blurred. • Do not place the disk in locations of direct sun- light, high temperature, or high humidity. • Do not touch either surface of the disk. • Hold the disk at the edges. Gently wipe dust or dirt off of the recording surface of the disk. • Do not wipe the disk with chemicals or deter- gents. • Do not bend or drop the disk. • Use an air duster or cleaner to remove dust. Vigor- ously rubbing the surface of the disk with a dry cloth may scratch the disk. • Do not write on the disk or affix labels to it. Storing produced data Produced data can be lost due to breakdown or mistaken operation. We recommend that you store all important data on CD-R or CD-RW disks or other external storage medium. Responsibility for loss of data, etc. • Yamaha will accept no responsibility for any damages (including consequential or incidental) incurred by the customer or any third party as a result of loss or impairment of the data stored on the CD-R media, regardless of whether such loss could have been or actually was foreseen by Yamaha. • Nor does Yamaha guarantee the media against any defect that may render it unusable. Cautions for handling optional equipment • For inquiries concerning I/O card, hard disk, or CD-RW drive handling, please consult your Yamaha dealer. • Always switch off the power for the main unit and all peripherals, unplug the power cord for the main unit from the outlet, then disconnect the cables connecting the main unit with the peripherals before starting installation work. • Wear thick gloves when working on this equipment to avoid cutting your hands on metal fittings or the like on the main unit, I/O card, hard disk, or CD-RW drive. • Always touch a well-grounded metal surface or the like to fully discharge any static electric charge on your body and clothing before starting to work on this equipment. • Take extreme care to avoid touching any terminals or board surface parts. • In order to protect the electronic circuits of the I/O card, hard disk, CD-RW drive, etc. from damage due to static electricity, when handling any of this equipment, take the most extreme care to avoid touching IC leads or other electronic parts. • Be careful not to drop any screws into the main unit. If you switch the power on with a dropped screw still in the main unit, the main unit may malfunction or break down. If a dropped screw can not be retrieved, consult your Yamaha dealer. • If the hard disk or CD-RW drive breaks down, contact the store where you purchased that equipment. Except for duplication for personal use or when there is no copyright problem, the duplication or transfer of commercially sold music/sound data without the permission of the copyright holder is prohibited. When using this equipment, please consult with a copyright specialist. s Warning The Yamaha Professional Audio Workstation is designed to be used professionally and responsibly by recording industry professionals.
