Never use a stabilizer or printable discs

Using commercially available CD stabilizers or
printable recordable discs with this player will dam-
age the mechanism and cause it to malfunction.

NOTE

Never use a disc that has had a stabilizer mounted to it.
The residual adhesive may cause the disc to stick to the
mechanism of the 2488. If it sticks to the mechanism,
you will need a technician to get it out.

Setting up your first song

This first song won’t be very musical, but it will help
you get used to finding your way around the 2488.

We really suggest that you do through these proce-
dures—it will help you later when you come to do
more complex work with the 2488.

New song

To make sure we start with a “clean slate”, we’ll cre-
ate a new song.

NOTE

The 2488 is shipped from the factory with a new song
ready to for you to record. However, if the 2488 has

been used before, it will automatically load the last
song that was worked on, and you may need to follow
these instructions to create a new song. Normally,
though, this won’t be needed.
