Recording copyright material
The price of a consumer-use disc includes a copyright fee that
has been paid to the copyright owner (in countries where the
copyright fee collection system has been established based on
their respective copyright laws). This means that you can use
these discs to record music and other material for your
personal use. If you want to use a disc for anything other than
personal use, you must get permission from the copyright
owner (note that copyright laws vary from country to country;
check the copyright-related laws in your particular country for
more information).
Broadcast programs, CDs, other recorded media (cassettes,
vinyl records, etc.) and musical performances are all protected
by copyright laws. You must get permission from the copyright
owner if you sell, transfer, distribute or lease a disc recorded
from the above mentioned sources, or if you use it as part of a
business (such as for background music in a store).
Recording and finalizing discs
Unlike other recording media, recordable CDs have a number
of distinct states, and what you can do with a disc depends on
the current state of the disc. The figure below shows the three
states—blank, partially recorded, and finalized—and
summarizes what’s possible (✔) and impossible (✘) in each.

* Once the CD-RW has been erased, it becomes recordable
again and skip IDs can be set and cleared.
** In general, current CD players cannot play CD-RW discs.
However, this situation may change.
The process of finalization fixes the contents of a CD-R in
place for good by creating a Table of Contents (TOC, for short)
at the beginning of the disc which tells other players exactly
what's on the disc and where to find it. See Finalizing a disc
on page 42 for more on finalization.
Keep in mind the following when using the remote control unit:
• Make sure that there are no obstacles in between the remote
and the remote sensor on the unit.
• Use within the operating range and angle, as shown in the
diagram below.
• Remote operation may become unreliable if strong sunlight
or fluorescent light is shining on the unit’s remote sensor.
• Remote controllers for different devices can interfere with
each other. Avoid using remotes for equipment located near
this unit while using the PDR–609.
• Replace the batteries when you notice a fall off in the
operating range of the remote.
