TASCAM CD-D4000
1.3 Basic operations
1.3.1 Power-up procedure
When the unit is first powered up using the
POWER
switch
1
, it performs a self-check operation, and the
screen shows the following:
If the self-check is passed, the display will show the
first menu screen, otherwise an error message will be
displayed.
1.3.2 Inserting discs
Press the eject button of the
MASTER
or the
SLAVE
drive to open the disc tray.
Place discs label side uppermost in the disc tray.
To insert the discs into the
MASTER
drive, you may
find it useful to place the front of the disc into the
disc tray first, and then seat the back of the disc into
the tray.
If a disc is placed into a tray upside-down or off-cen-
ter, an error message will appear on the display.
You can close the disc trays by pressing the eject but-
ton on the drive (though many operations will close
the disc trays automatically).
1.3.3 Power down
Before powering down the unit, eject discs from both
drives (the eject mechanism requires power to work,
and so you will not be able to eject the discs once
power is turned off).
NOTE
Do not turn off the CD-D4000 while writing to
the slave disc (i.e. part of the way through a
disc copy operation. If you do, the disc will be
corrupt, and unusable.
1.3.4 Care of CD-R media
The Compact Disc medium is a robust medium, and
the discs can survive a good deal of physical abuse.
However, there are precautions that you should take
when handling CD-R discs which are different to
those you should take when handling ordinary CDs.
Avoid touching the recording (non-label) side of a
disc on which you will be recording. Recording on a
disc requires a cleaner surface than playing back, and
fingerprints, grease, etc. can cause errors in the
recording process.
CD-R discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat
than ordinary CDs. It is important that they are not
stored in a location where direct sunlight will fall on
them, and which is away from sources of heat such as
radiators or heat-generating electrical devices.
Always store CD-R discs in their “jewel cases” to
avoid dirt and dust accumulating on their surfaces.
When labeling CD-R discs, always use a soft felt-
tipped pen to write the information. Never use a ball-
point or hard-tipped pen, as this may cause damage
to the recorded side.
Dirty discs may be cleaned using a soft dry cloth and/
or a commercial CD cleaning fluid or ethyl alcohol.
Do not use thinner, gasoline, benzene or LP cleaning
fluid, as these will damage the disc.
If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of
a CD-R disc, read the precautions supplied with the
disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly.
