NOTE:

IMPORTANT TO SAFETY

CD Discs

This CD recorder uses the semiconductor laser. To allow you to

enjoy music at a stable operation, it is recommended to use this in a

room of 10 °C (50 °F) ~ 30 °C (86 °F).

CAUTIONS DURING USE

This unit uses CDs (optical digital audio discs)

which bear the mark located at the right.

Note that specially shaped CDs, for example,

heart shaped or hexagonal cannot be played. Do

not attempt to use such CDs since doing so may

cause breakdown of this unit.

WARNING:

•

During track selection, during search and when the recorder

sustains a strong impact, the disc’s rotational speed

changes greatly, causing a small noise to be emitted. This is

not a malfunction of the recorder.

If the CD recorder is operated while an FM or AM broadcast

is being received, there may be noise in the FM or AM

reception. Please switch the power to the CD recorder off at

such times.

The DN-C550R has a broad dynamic range. Please exercise

caution when turning up the volume on the amplifier in

cases when the playback volume is low. If the volume is

turned up too high, it could damage the speakers.

Placing this recorder or its connection cords near a TV or

other audio device could cause a humming sound to be

emitted. If this occurs, relocate the recorder or reroute the

connection cords.

Be sure to remove the disc from the recorder before moving

it. The disc could be damaged if left in the recorder while it

is being moved.

Do not place any object in the tray in the position where the

disc is loaded, or open and close the tray with anything

inside. Foreign objects in the tray could damage the play

mechanism.

Do not move the recorder from a cold place to a warm place

suddenly. If the recorder is cold when brought into a warm

room, condensation could form, preventing proper operation

of the recorder. If condensation does form on the recorder

when it is brought into a warm room, wait at least 30

minutes before use.

TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD, DO

NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR

MOISTURE.

Disc Handling

NOTES:

• Do not attach commercially available disc labels or

other seals on the disc. Doing so may make it

impossible to record or play the disc properly.

✽ Recording in the Synchro-recording mode (e.g., disc Synchro-recording, track Synchro-recording, and auto finalization recording)

results in the track numbers being automatically associated. The manner in which the track numbers are associated will differ as

follows for digital recording and for analog recording depending on the conditions.

Avoid touching the surface of the disc when inserting or

removing it.

Recording from a digital input

Be careful not to get

fingerprints on the signal

recording surface.

•

When performing digital recording of a CD, track numbers are

updated when the first sound is detected after the track switches.

When making a digital recording from a MD, a track number that is

the same as the original track number will automatically be

associated.

NOTES:

•

Digital copying may not be possible due to SCMS restrictions if “SCMS ENA” is set at “Copy management” in the setup

mode. In this case, copying is automatically performed at normal speed and using analog signals. (See page 6.)

Analog signal copying is always performed in the normal speed mode.

If when the copying mode is set the recordable time on the CD-R/RW is shorter than the time of the CD source you are

trying to copy, “CD-R Short” is displayed and both the CD and CD-R units are set to the stop mode. If this happens,

check the disc’s recordable time. (However, when recording track numbers 21 or higher from a source CD containing

over 20 tracks, “CD-R Short” may not be displayed even if the source time you want to record is longer than the

recordable time on the CD-R/RW.)

•

If the disc name has already been input on the disc on which you are recording, only the track names are copied.

For some CDs, the text cannot be copied because of copyright protection. In this case “Text Protect” is

displayed.

•

Do not turn off the power or unplug the power cord while “Now PMA Rec” is displayed after recording is completed.

Doing so may render the disc unusable.
