When you format a CD-R/RW disc with the CR500, you can choose either of the fol-
lowing two format types.
• BWF type:
Choose this type when you make a recording in the WAV file format. With a BWF
formatted CD-R/RW disc, you can make additional recordings until you finalize the
disc, as far as the disc has an enough space. The closed disc can be read by a Windows
computer (see page 20 for details).
• CD-DA type:
Choose this type when you make an audio CD.
With a CD-DA formatted CD-R/RW disc, you can make additional recordings until you
finalize the disc, as far as the disc has an enough space. The finalized disc can be read
by a Windows or Mac OS computer, as well as can be played back by a normal CD
player (see page 20 for details).
Handling of CD-R/RW discs
• Handle a disc with care by holding them by
the rim or by a finger through the center hole,
rather than touching the surface. Do not get
fingerprints, dust, scratch, etc. on the signal
side.
• Do not affix any labels or stickers to the label
side of the disc. Do not make a scratch on
the label side. A scratch may make recording
or playback impossible. Do not write on the
label side of a disc with a hard pen such as a
ballpoint pen and a pencil. Only use a soft
pen.
• Do not use a curved or cracked disc, which
may cause malfunction of the drive.
• If dust or fingerprint is attached to the signal
side, wipe the disc gently with a soft dry cloth
or a cloth with ethyl alcohol from the center
towards the out-side edge. Do not wipe it from
the outside towards the center.
• Read the instructions supplied with a disc be
fore using.
