APPROVED MEDIA LIST
Notes on CD-R media:
Quality and recording characteristics of media from different
manufacturers will vary from brand to brand. This has to do with
different manufacturing processes of both the CD-R media and
the CD-R mechanism. (Some media that does not work well with
one CD-R mechanism may work reasonably with another.)
In order to take the guesswork out of selecting the media, we
are posting an approved list of media for use. Media from each
of these manufacturers was written to and verified. The media
listed as OK is preferred. The media listed as NR typically worked
but had a higher error rate, so it is not recommended. Mitsui
media is used as the target media reference, so you're always
safe with those.
We have tested the CD-RW700 for compatability with 74 minute
and 80 minute CD media, and the mechanisms will recognize and
use the full legnth of the CD.

SCMS/MEDIA CONTROL
The first few shipments of the CD-RW700 shipped requiring
consumer CD-RDA and CD-RWDA. The original design did not call
for this, it was added at the last minute due to legal considerations
about the CD-R market. All units that shipped after March, 2000
do not require consumer media.
For the older units which required consumer media, the SCMS
code and consumer media requirements have a deep system menu
allowing these settings to be overridden. Since the legal issues
have been resolved, we are releasing the information on how to
reset your machine to use regular media. The instructions are as
follows:
1) Set the CD-RW700 up so that it receives power, but is left in
stand-by mode.
2) Press and hold STOP, PLAY and PAUSE until the display shows
700/80001.00. (It should take about 5 seconds.)
3) Press and hold FINALIZE until the display shows the SCMS
status: SCMS=ON
4) Turn the Multi Jog dial to display SCMS=OFF.
5) Press FINALIZE.
6) Press STOP.
