Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.
Power Supply: Use of Batteries
301
● Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is
being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by
an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine,
microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a
motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical
appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit
to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not
practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a
power supply noise filter between this unit and the
electrical outlet.
355b
● When moved from one location to another where the
temperature and/or humidity is very different, water
droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit.
Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use
the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit,
you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the
condensation has completely evaporated.
360
● Depending on the material and temperature of the

IMPORTANT NOTES (continued)
556
❍ Do not touch or allow metal to come into contact with
the contact portion of the cards.
● When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the
connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you
will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal
elements.
❍ Do not bend, drop, or subject cards to strong shock or
vibration.
558a
❍ Do not keep cards in direct sunlight, in closed vehicles,
or other such locations.
● To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s
volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use
headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about
those around you (especially when it is late at night).
❍ Do not allow cards to become wet.
❍ Do not disassemble or modify the cards.
559a
● When you need to transport the unit, package it in the
Handling CD-ROMs
box (including padding) that it came in, if possible.
Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging
materials.
801
● Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside
(encoded surface) of the disc. Damaged or dirty CD-ROM
discs may not be read properly. Keep your discs clean
using a commercially available CD cleaner.
562
● Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use
cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this
unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to
be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information
on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the
cable.
Copyright
851
● Recording, duplication, distribution, sale, lease,
performance, or broadcast of copyrighted material
(musical works, visual works, broadcasts, live
performances, etc.) belonging to a third party in part or in
whole without the permission of the copyright owner is
forbidden by law.
985
● The explanations in this manual include illustrations that
depict what should typically be shown by the display.
Note, however, that your unit may incorporate a newer,
enhanced version of the system (e.g., includes newer
sounds), so what you actually see in the display may not
always match what appears in the manual.
852
● This product can be used to record or duplicate audio or
visual material without being limited by certain
technological copy-protection measures. This is due to the
fact that this product is intended to be used for the
purpose of producing original music or video material,
and is therefore designed so that material that does not
infringe copyrights belonging to others (for example, your
own original works) can be recorded or duplicated freely.
Handling the CD-R/RW Drive
602
● Install the unit on a solid, level surface in an area free from
vibration.
603
● Avoid using the unit immediately after it has been moved
to a location with a level of humidity that is greatly
different than its former location. Rapid changes in the
environment can cause condensation to form inside the
drive, which will adversely affect the operation of the drive
and/or damage CDs. When the unit has been moved,
allow it to become accustomed to the new environment
(allow a few hours) before operating it.
853
● Do not use this unit for purposes that could infringe on a
copyright held by a third party. We assume no
responsibility whatsoever with regard to any
infringements of third-party copyrights arising through
your use of this unit.

SD memory cards,
CD-R discs, and
CD-RW discs. The functions available for editing or deleting songs (tracks) after
recording will differ according to the media you use.
The table below shows the functions available for each type of media.

* In order for a CD-R/RW disc recorded on the CD-2i to be playable on another CD player, an
operation called “finalizing” (Page 102) must be performed on that disc.
*
We cannot guarantee that a music CD created on the CD-2i will play on all CD players.
Depending on your CD player’s support for CD-R/RW discs, music CDs you create may or may
not play correctly.
* The CD-2i supports SDHC memory cards.
* Some SD memory card types or SD memory cards from some manufacturers may not record or
play back properly on the CD-2i.
Differences between CD-R discs and CD-RW discs
Unlike conventional music CDs, both of these discs allow recording.
A song recorded on a CD-R (Compact Disc Recordable) disc cannot be erased later.
You should use CD-R discs in the following cases.
●
To record an important performance
●
To create a CD from songs you’ve recorded on an SD memory card
●
To back up an original music CD
CD-RW (Compact Disc ReWritable) discs allow you to erase a song you’ve recorded.
Songs can be erased one by one starting at the last-recorded song, or you can erase all
songs in a single operation.
CD-RW discs can be recorded and erased approximately 1,000 times.
You should use CD-RW discs in the following cases.
●
To record your practicing
●
To Make a “sketchpad” of your musical ideas

Turning the Power On and Off
You can operate the CD-2i either from an electrical outlet or using six AA batteries (sold
separately).
* Always make sure to have the volume level turned down before switching on power. Even with
the volume all the way down, you may still hear some sound when the power is switched on, but
this is normal, and does not indicate a malfunction.
Using the Dedicated AC Adaptor
If you’re using the dedicated AC adaptor, batteries are not required.
* Even if batteries are installed, the power will turn off if you connect or disconnect the power cord
from the AC outlet while the power is turned on, or if you connect or disconnect the AC adaptor
from the product. When this occurs, unsaved data may be lost. You must turn off the power
before you connect or disconnect the power cord or AC adaptor.

If you want to create a music CD using songs that were recorded on an R-09, you must
set the R-09’s recording mode to “WAV 16-bit” and sampling frequency to “44.1 kHz”
before you record.
Requirements for songs (files) that can be recognized
CD-2i recognizes song files that were recorded with a recording mode of “WAV 16bit”
and a sample rate of “44.1kHz,” and that meet all of the following conditions.
●
Track length must be longer than four seconds.
●
Track title must not contain double-byte characters (e.g., Japanese).
●
Track (file) must be located in the root directory of the SD memory card.

Making a CD-R/RW Disc for Playback on Another
CD Player (Finalize)
What’s finalization?
Finalization is the process of writing final information (the number of songs, the song
numbers, the playback times, etc.) to a CD-R/RW disc. When you “finalize” a CD-R/RW
disc that was recorded or written by the CD-2i, that disc will be playable as a music CD
in another CD player.
After finalization, it will no longer be possible to record or write additional material to that disc.
You should finalize the disc when you have completed your music CD and don’t need to write
or record any more data.
* In order to perform this operation, you’ll need the included, dedicated AC adaptor.

Creating a Duplicate of an Original Music CD (Backup)
Here’s how to back up an original music CD you created, making an identical copy of your
original music CD.
* In order to perform this operation, you’ll need the included, dedicated AC adaptor.
Workflow to Back up CDs
When copying a music CD, the CD tracks are stored temporarily on an SD memory card.
The temporary tracks on the SD memory card are written to a blank CD-R/RW disc.
(The CD-R/RW disc will be finalized automatically.)

the Internal Mics
When recording via the internal mics (Page 40), the recorded sound may not be even in
volume between the left and right sides, depending on where the CD-2i is located.
In such cases, you can adjust the left/right volume balance of the internal mics to compensate
for the position in which the CD-2i is placed.

Explanation
Increasing the “L” value will increase the volume of the input
from the left internal mic. With a setting of “L50,” no sound will
be input from the right internal mic. Conversely, increasing the
“R” value will increase the volume of the input from the right
internal mic. With a setting of “R50,” no sound will be input
from the left internal mic. With the “C” (center) setting, the left/
right volume balance will be equal.

Reversing the Stereo Field of the Internal Mics
When using the internal mics (Page 40), the sound from the mic at the left side of the CD-2i
will be recorded on the left channel (L), and the sound from the right mic will be recorded on
the right channel (R).
If, as shown in the illustration below, the internal mics are pointed toward the performer on
stage, the orientation of the internal mics will be reversed in comparison to the ears of the
listeners, causing the recorded sound to be heard with a reversed stereo field.
In such cases, you can exchange the left and right channels of the internal mics. This way, the
performance will be recorded just as you heard it.

Connecting External Speakers
You can connect external speakers with built -in amplifier to the LINE OUT jack and use them
to listen to playback from the CD-2i or the sound received at its inputs. If you connect the LINE
OUT jack to the input jack of your digital piano, you’ll be able to listen to the sound using the
built-in speakers of your digital piano.
Note
Once the connections have been completed, turn on power to your various devices in the
order specified. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing malfunction and/
or damage to speakers and other devices. To prevent malfunction and/or damage to speakers
or other devices, always turn down the volume, and turn off the power on all devices before
making any connections.
