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.
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 or place and remove SKIP
commands.
Unrecorded compact discs (recording is pos-
sible)
When unrecorded compact discs are inserted,
"Blank Disc" appears flashing in the display.
Partly recorded compact discs (recording is
possible)
• Before finalization (recording is possible)
Compact discs that have not been finalized
cannot be played in normal CD players; they can
only be played in CD recorders.
• After finalization (recording is not possible)
Compact discs that have been finalized can be
played in normal CD players.
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.
When a finalized CD-RW disc is inserted, the CD-RW
