compact discs with the following marks printing on
them:
FOR CONSUMER

(A disc with any of the above markings.)
Recording cannot be performed on discs that do not

"FOR CONSUMER," "FOR CONSUMER USE," and
"FOR MUSIC USE ONLY." Therefore, the recording
of music protected by copyright laws with these
discs is permitted for personal use. However, copying
for purposes other than personal use requires the
permission of the copyright holder.
• Compact discs
Always use compact discs with the following mark
(optical digital audio discs):
CD TEXT
CD TEXT is a feature added to audio CDs that
provides the ability to deliver text information
(alphabetic letters, symbols, and numbers) such as
disc titles, artist names, track titles, etc. Commercial
audio CDs that contain this text information bear the
following mark.
CD-R finalization process
After recording onto a CD-R disc, it is necessary to
perform the finalization process before the CD-R
can be played in CD players. After the finalization
process is completed, you cannot perform
additional recordings.
CD-ReWritable (CD-RW) discs
CD-RW discs cannot be played in normal CD
players even after finalization. CD-RW discs can
only be played on players compatible with CD-RW
discs. Also, with CD-RW discs, recording can be
erased even after finalization.
Cautions regarding copyrights
The lyrics and melodies composing the musical
elements of media and musical performances from
radio broadcasts, compact discs, records, music
tapes, original cassettes, and other media are
protected equally by copyright law. Therefore, the
sale, transition, distribution, and re-release in media-
form, or use as background music in stores and the
like, is strictly forbidden without the previous express
consent from the copyright holder.
