About CD-R and CD-RW discs
The DP-01FX/CD can use CD-R and CD-RW
media, including CD-R and CD-RW Digital
Audio media.
CDR discs can be recorded once only. Once they
have been used for recording, they cannot be erased
or rerecorded. However, if space is available on the
disc, additional material can be recorded. The pack
aging of CDR discs will include one of the follow
ing logos:
By contrast, a CDRW disc can be used in much the
same way as a CDR disc, but the last track or tracks
recorded can be erased before the disc has been
“finalized”, and the space on the disc can be re
used for other recordings. The packaging of CD
RW discs will include the logo one of the following
logos:
However, you should note that an audio CD created
using a CDRW disc may not play back satisfacto
rily on every audio CD player. It will, naturally, be
playable on the DP01FX/CD. This is in no way a
limitation of the DP01FX/CD itself, but of the dif
ference between the different types of media and the
methods used to read them.
CDR discs created on the DP01FX/CD, by con
trast, may be played satisfactorily on the majority of
audio CD players.
Handling of compact discs
Observe the following:
• Always place the compact discs in the trays with
their label facing upward (compact discs can only
be played on one side).
• To remove a disc from its storage case, press
down on the center of the case, and lift the disc
out, holding it carefully by the edges.
• Finger marks and dust should be carefully wiped
off the disc’s recorded surface with a soft cloth.
Unlike traditional vinyl records, the compact disc
has no grooves to collect dust and microscopic
debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth should
remove most particles.
• Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the
outside of the disc. Small dust particles and light
stains will have absolutely no effect on reproduc
tion quality.
• Never use such chemicals as record sprays, anti
static sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean
compact discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable
damage to the disc’s plastic surface.
• Discs should be returned to their cases after use to
avoid serious scratches that could cause the laser
pickup to “skip”.
• Don’t expose discs to direct sunlight or high
humidity and temperature for extended periods.
Long exposure to high temperature can warp the
disc.
• Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non
circular promotional, etc. discs.
• To keep the laser pickups clean, don’t touch them.
For the same reason, don’t leave the disc tray
opened unnecessarily.
