Recordable
Congratulations on the acquisition of your CD-Recorder. This CD-
Recorder now enables you to record, play and erase your own audio
Compact Discs. Naturally the recorder can also be used to play all
pre-recorded CDs.
With the exception of legal restrictions pertaining to copying, you
can now create your own high-quality audio recordings on CD. The
discs used to record must bear the logos shown below. Copyright
fees have been paid on these discs in some countries. Recording on
other types of discs (e.g. CD-R for professional recordings) is not
possible.
There are two types of recordable AUDIO discs:
CD-R(W) discs have a compatibility to play/record on the CD-
Recorders based on the ORENGE BOOK Part II/III. But the discs might
not be able to be played/recorded properly depending on the
combinations of the discs and CD-Recorders.
1 CD Recordable Audio (record once):
Fully recorded and subsequently finalized audio CD-R discs can
be played on all CD players and recorders that are suitable for
CD-R discs. A CD-R disc can be recognized by the following logo:
2 CD ReWritable Audio (multiple recording):
Recorded and finalized audio CD-RW discs can be played on all
CD players and recorders that are suitable for CD-RW discs. An
increasing number of players and recorders will be suitable for
these discs in the future. A CD-RW disc can be recognized by the
following logo:
The CD-R(W)disc for ‘DIGITAL AUDIO’ can be both recording and
playing on this CD-Recorder. In addition, this CD-Recorder can play
the CD-R(W) disc for ‘PROFESSIONAL RECORDING’, but cannot
record it.
Once you start using the recorder, you will discover how easy it is to
‘make’ your own CDs. Nevertheless, we recommend that you use an
erasable (CD-RW) digital audio disc on your first attempt, while
following the instructions given here.
Attention!
Recordings may only be made for personal use.
It is forbidden to copy material protected by copyright, in-
cluding computer programs, films, television and audio
recordings. This appliance may not be used for applications
of this type.
Note: Some CD players can not play the finalized CD-R(W)
discs because of the low reflectivity of such discs.
Because of laser power differences, some DVD
players cannot play the finalized CD-R(W) discs.
Read the text carefully and keep the instructions close at hand so
that you can refer to them if necessary.

Compact discs
The glossy side shining like a rainbow is the front side of the disc,
and the side on which the label is printed is the back.
Unlike conventional turntables for playing analog discs, the DR4050
reads the information recorded on the disc from underneath without
contacting it using a beam of laser light. Therefore, the performance
of a compact disc will not degrade like conventional analog records.
Handle discs carefully so as not to damage or scratch the front side.Handle discs carefully so as not to damage or scratch the front side.
