Before using the unit

Read this before attempting any operations

The nominal temperature should be between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F). The CD-RW recorder is more sensitive to extremes of temperature than ordinary CD players.

Relative humidity should be 30 to 85 percent noncondensing.

< As the unit may become warm during operation, always leave

sufficient space around the unit for ventilation.

< The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage as

printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this matter, consult an electrician.

Choose the installation location of your unit carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also avoid locations subject to vibrations and excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture.

Do not place the unit on an amplifier/receiver.

Do not open the cabinet as this might result in damage to the circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object should get into the unit, contact your dealer or service company.

When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull directly on the plug, never yank the cord.

< To keep the laser pickup clean, do not touch it and always

close the disc tray.

< Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as

this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

< Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

DO NOT MOVE THE UNIT DURING PLAYBACK/RECORDING

During playback or recording, the disc rotates at high speed. Do NOT lift or move the unit during playback or recording. Doing so may damage the disc or the unit.

WHEN MOVING THIS UNIT

When changing the unit’s location or packing the unit for moving, be sure to remove the disc. Moving this unit with the disc loaded may result in damage to this unit.

How to remove the disc How to hold the disc

Always place the disc on the disc tray with the label side uppermost. (Compact discs can be played or recorded only on one side.)

To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the center of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.

Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean the discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable damage to the disc’s plastic surface.

Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid dust and scratches that could cause the laser pickup to “skip.”

< Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high humidity and

temperature for extended periods. Long exposure to high temperatures will warp the disc.

Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or damaged. Playing such discs may cause irreparable harm to the playing mechanisms.

CD-R and CD-RW discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is important that they are not stored in a location where direct sunlight will fall on them, and away from sources of heat such as radiators or heat-generating electrical devices.

Printable CD-R and CD-RW discs aren’t recommended, as the label side might be sticky and damage the unit.

< Do not stick papers or protective sheets on the discs and do

not use any protective coating spray.

< Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information

on the label side. Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this may cause damage to the recorded side.

Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD stabilizers with this unit will damage the mechanism and cause them to malfunction.

Do not use CDs with an irregular shape (octagonal, heart shaped, business card size, etc.). CDs of this sort can damage the unit:

If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a CDR/ CD-RW disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly.

< Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface radially (from

the center hole outward towards the outer edge) with a soft, dry cloth:

Please use CD, CD-R and CD-RW discs bearing the “DIGITAL AUDIO” logo.

This unit CANNOT RECORD CD-R and CD-RW discs designed for computer systems.

In this manual, although we refer to “CD-R” and CD-RW” discs, we always mean “CD-R Digital Audio” and “CD-RW Digital Audio”, even when this is not explicitly stated.

CD-R and CD-RW discs designed for computer systems and properly recorded by a computer are playable, but this unit cannot record, finalize nor erase them.

Depending on the quality of the disc and/or the condition of the recording, some CD-R/CD-RW discs may not be playable.

< Copy-protected discs and other discs which do not conform

to the CD standard may not play back correctly in this player. If you use such discs in this unit, TEAC Corporation and its subsidiaries cannot be responsible for any consequences or guarantee the quality of reproduction. If you experience problems with such non-standard discs, you should contact the producers of the disc.

About CD-R and CD-RW discs

CD-R discs can be recorded once only. Once they have been used for recording, they cannot be erased or re-recorded. However, if space is available on the disc (and the disc has not been finalized), additional material can be recorded.

By contrast, a CD-RW disc can be used in much the same way as a CD-R disc, but the last track or tracks recorded can be erased, and the space on the disc can be re- used for other recordings.

However, you should note that an audio CD created using a CD-RW disc may not play back satisfactorily on every audio CD player. CD-R, by contrast, may be played satisfactorily on the majority of audio CD players.

Finalizing

Although audio data may be written on a CD-R or CD-RW disc, a standard CD player will not be able to play back the audio until a final table of contents (TOC) has been written at the start of the disc. The process of writing this table of contents is known as “finalizing”. Once this has been done, no further data can be written to the disk. Note that a CD-RW disc that has been finalized can be “unfinalized”. This allows further tracks to be recorded to the disc, provided that there is space on the disc.

Repeat, shuffle and programmed playback don’t work with unfinalized (NO TOC) discs.

Recordable discs

In this manual, we use the term “recordable” disc to describe a CD-R or CD-RW disc that has not been finalized, and has enough space to record.

Remote Control Unit

Remove the battery compartment cover. Insert two “AA” (R6, SUM-3) dry batteries. Make sure that the

batteries are inserted with their positive “+

” and negative

“_

” poles positioned correctly.

Close the cover.

Battery Replacement

If the distance required between the remote control unit and main unit decreases, the batteries are exhausted. In this case replace the batteries with new ones.

Precautions concerning batteries

Be sure to insert the batteries with correct positive “+” and negative “_

” polarities.

Use batteries of the same type. Never use different types of batteries together.

Rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries can be used. Refer to the precautions on their labels.

When the remote control unit is not to be used for a long time (more than a month), remove the batteries from the remote control unit to prevent them from leaking. If they leak, wipe away the liquid inside the battery compartment and replace the batteries with new ones.

Do not heat or disassemble batteries and never dispose of old batteries by throwing them in a fire.

The provided Remote Control Unit allows the unit to be operated from a distance. When operating the remote control unit, point it towards the REMOTE SENSOR on the front panel of the unit.

Even if the remote control unit is operated within the effective range, remote control operation may be impossible if there are any obstacles between the unit and the remote control.

If the remote control unit is operated near other appliances which generate infrared rays, or if other remote control devices using infrared rays are used near the unit, it may operate incorrectly. Conversely, the other appliances may operate incorrectly.
