Cautions on installation
The nominal operating temperature should be between
•
5˚C and 35˚C.
Do not install in places as below. It may deteriorate
•
sound quality and/or cause malfunctions:
a place susceptible to vibration or unstable
a place exposed to direct sunlight, such as by a window
a place excessively hot such as by a heater
a place excessively cold
a place with bad ventilation or excessively damp
Hum noise may be generated when using the unit near
•
a device which has a large transformer such as a power
amplifier. Take a distance from such devices and turn
the unit around to stop the noise.
Using the unit near a TV or radio may cause picture
•
deterioration or noise. Take a distance from such devic-
es.
Using wireless applications such as a cellular phone near
•
the unit may cause noise, especially at incoming and
outgoing of a call and during speaking over the phone.
Take a distance from such devices or turning them off.
Do not use the unit with the front panel down or side
•
panels down. It may cause malfunctions of CD record-
ing and playback. Install it with the operation panel up.
Beware of condensation
If the unit is moved from a cold to a warm place, or used
after a sudden temperature change, there is a danger of
condensation; vapor in the air could condense on the internal mechanism, making correct operation impossible. To
prevent this, or if this occurs, let the recorder sit for one or
two hours at the new room temperature before using.
Cleaning the unit
To clean the unit, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth. Do
not use any benzene, paint thinner, ethyl alcohol or other
chemical agents to clean the unit as they could damage the
surface.
About SD cards
This unit uses SD cards for recording and playback. You
can use 64 MB - 2 GB SD cards and 4 GB - 32 GB SDHC
cards with this unit. A list of SD cards that have been tested
with this unit can be found on the TASCAM web site (www.
tascam.com).
Precautions for use
SD cards are delicate media. In order to avoid damaging
•
a card or the card slot, please take the following precau-
tions when handling them.
Do not leave them in extremely hot or cold places.
•
Do not leave them in extremely humid places.
•
Do not let them get wet.
•

Cautions
Please use CD, CD-R and CD-RW discs bearing the
•
following logos.
Page 17
1–Introduction
CD-R
CD-RW
Always insert the disc into the slot with the label side
•
toward you. (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.
Avoid getting fingerprints on the signal side (the non-
•
label side). Grime and dust may cause skipping.
Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface radially
•
(from the center hole outward towards the outer edge)
with a soft, dry cloth:
Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid
•
dust and scratches that could cause the laser pickup to
“skip.”
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.
Do not affix any labels or stickers to the label side of the
•
disc. Do not insert discs that have adhesive remaining
from tape or stickers that have been removed. If they are
inserted into the player, they could stick to the internal
mechanism, requiring removal by a technician.
Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD
•
stabilizers with this unit will damage the mechanism
and cause them to malfunction.
Do not use cracked discs.
•
Do not use CDs with an irregular shape (octagonal,
•
heart shaped, business card size, etc.). CDs of this sort
can damage the unit:
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 rerecorded. 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.
Inserting a disc into the slot-loading drive
1. Insert a disc halfway into the slot by holding the disc
edge and facing the label side front, as illustrated.
2. Push the disc into the slot until the disc is automati-
cally brought in.
When a disc is not loaded properly
When a disc is not loaded properly, draw out the disc and
press the
push the disc in forcedly. It may damage the unit and the

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.

and the center of the meter is highlighted. A bar
appears to the left if the tuning is too low and a bar
appears to the right if it is too high. The longer the
bar is the more out of tune the instrument is.
TIP
You can check the diff erence of the pitch also at the volume/playback/recording indicator.
The center LED lights up in green when the tuning is fi ne.
The center LED lights up in red and green LEDs show the degree of
pitch diff erence when out of tune.

Practicing with CD/SD playback
Not only can you use the unit to change the tempo of track
playback, you can even do this without changing the pitch.
You can also change the playback pitch of a track without
changing the tempo.
Furthermore, you can also reduce (cancel) the sound of
a voice or solo instrument on a track. You can use these
playback control functions effectively to practice and learn
parts.
Changing the playback key
You can change the key (pitch) of playback sound without
changing playback speed by using the
FINE PITCH knob.
Use the KEY knob to adjust the pitch up or down by semitone (b6 - #6).

Set the CANCEL item to ON to turn the part cancel function ON.
Depending on the music, the part cancel function may not
reduce the recorded vocal or solo instrument sound sufficiently. If this is the case, changing the PART setting might
make the reduction more effective. Listen to the music as
you adjust the settings to achieve the best effect.
PART (the factory setting is C)
Adjust this setting to match the stereo position of the sound
that you want to reduce (
L10 -C-R 10).
