TEST MODE
4-1. PRECAUTIONS FOR USE OF TEST MODE
1. As loading related operations will be performed regardless of
the test mode operations being performed, be sure to check
that the disc is stopped before setting and removing it. Even if
the § EJECT button is pressed while the disc is rotating dur-
ing continuous playback, continuous recording, etc., the disc
will not stop rotating. Therefore, it will be ejected while ro-
tating. Be sure to press the § EJECT button after pressing
the EDIT/NO button and the rotation of disc is stopped.
2. The erasing-protection tab is not detected in the test mode.
Therefore, operating in the recording laser emission mode and
pressing the r REC button, the recorded contents will be
erased regardless of the position of the tab. When using a disc
that is not to be erased in the test mode, be careful not to enter
the continuous recording mode and traverse adjustment mode.
