CDR200tx with at least 10 cm of free space all-around.
Make sure the CDR200tx power cord is not located in a
position where it is likely to be walked on or pinched by
other equipment.
ii
Important Precautions
Operating Precautions
•
Do not subject CDR200tx to impact or shock when in use.
This may impair recording or playback.
•
•
Do not place heavy objects on CDR200tx.
Avoid moving CDR200tx from cold to warm places, and
avoid sudden room temperature rises, as condensation
that could cause CDR200tx to malfunction may occur. If
condensation does occur, wait at least one hour before
operating CDR200tx.
•
•
Do not let liquid or other foreign objects enter CDR200tx.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose
CDR200tx to rain or moisture.
•
•
Always remove the disc before transporting CDR200tx.
CDR200tx uses an optical pickup that is sensitive to dust
and dirt. Make sure that the disc tray and disc are free of
dust and dirt before loading.
•
•
•
Use only the power cable supplied. Other cables may cause
interference when CDR200tx is used near to radio and
television equipment.
CDR200tx should be connected only to an AC receptacle
of the type described in this User Guide or as marked on
the rear panel of CDR200tx.
Use a soft dry cloth to clean CDR200tx. Stubborn dirt can
be removed using a cloth dampened with water and neutral
detergent solution. Do not use benzine or solvent based
cleaners on CDR200tx.
iii
Preventing Premature Disc Failure
Preventing Premature Disc Failure
The NUMBER ONE cause of premature disc failure with
recordable CDs is contamination of the recording surface
before recording is completed. To minimize disc failure, use
the following disc-handling guidelines:
•
Keep the disc tray and disc as clean and dust-free as
humanly possible during the record process. DO NOT
touch the recording surface, and do not expose the disc tray
and disc to dust or dirt.
•
•
DO NOT BLOW ON THE DISC to remove dust or dirt. To
remove dust from the recording surface use a camera lens
bulb. Be sure to follow the instructions when using the cloth.
To remove stubborn dirt or grease from the recording surface
use only nonabrasive foam-tipped swabs (such as Chemtron-
ics Foamtips #120) with a small amount of pure, denatured
alcohol. To avoid scratching the recording surface BE SURE
TO USE ONLY LIGHT STROKES, beginning at the disc
center, pulling directly towards the disc’s outer edge.
•
•
Always record in a dust-free environment. If the disc must
be removed from CDR200tx before recording is finished,
store the disc in a clean, dust-free environment.
If a disc tray accumulates dust, DO NOT USE IT FOR
DISC RECORDING. Always use a clean, dust-free tray
for disc recording.
If CDR200tx is vibrated while recording, the recording may
fail. To avoid such failures observe the following practices:
•
Place CDR200tx on a solid, stable surface, away from
high-traffic areas. The surface must allow CDR200tx to
operate in a level, horizontal position.
•
Avoid touching or handling CDR200tx when recording.
Note: Once the disc has been finalized (and no more recording is
possible), it can be handled with the same care that any CD
should be handled.

♦ SCSI ID settings
The SCSI ID number is used so that the computer will recognize a
connected SCSI device. You can assign 0 through 7 as the SCSI ID
number. Usually, “7" is reserved for the SCSI card ID number, and
“0” is reserved for the first SCSI device in the chain. Use a number
between 1 and 6 for the CDR200tx.
Use the switch on the rear panel to set a SCSI ID number. The factory
set ID number is “1”.
Caution: If you are using other SCSI devices, be sure to use a unique ID num-
ber for each device. Be sure to turn off the power to the drive before
you set the SCSI ID number.
Note: When you are using Windows 95, and if the SCSI ID setting on the
rear panel is the same as the number assigned to another SCSI device,
the Plug and Play component of Windows 95 will automatically
assign an unused number to the CDR200tx (SCAM protocol level 1).

Pressing this switch repeatedly
will decrease the SCSI ID
number by one each time.
