Precautions and notes for placement and use
The CD-160MKII may be used in most areas, but to main­tain top performance, and prolong operating life, observe the following notes, precautions and environmental conditions:
Avoid exposing it to extremes of temperature and
humidity and avoid mechanical shocks and vibration.
Keep the unit away from strong magnetic fields (TV
sets, computer monitors, large electric motors, etc.).
The nominal temperature should be between 5°C and
35°C (41°F and 95°F).
Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 percent.
As the unit may become hot during operation, always
leave sufficient space above the unit for ventilation. Do not install this unit in a confined space such as a book­case, and do not put anything on top of the unit.
Avoid installing this unit on top of any heat-generating
electrical device such as a power amplifier.
Make sure that the unit is mounted in a level position for
correct operation.

damage to the circuitry or electrical shocks. If a foreign object should get inside the unit, contact your supplier or service agency.
When removing the power plug from the wall outlet,
always pull directory on the plug, never yank the cord.
To keep the laser pickup clean, do not touch it and
always close the disc tray.
As the disc rotates at high speed during playback, do not
lift or move the unit. Doing so may damage the disc or the laser assembly.

Beware of condensation

to match your local supply. If you are in any doubt in this matter, consult an electrician.
When transporting the unit, always use the origi-
nal packing materials. For this reason, we strongly recommend that you save all the packing materials that came with the CD-160MKII, in case you need to transport it in the future.
In addition, when transporting the unit, you should
tape the disc tray closed, using an adhesive tape that will not spoil the finish of the unit.
If the unit (or a compact disc) 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 oper-

Never use a stabilizer or printable discs

Using commercially available CD stabilizers or printable recordable discs with this player will damage the mecha­nism and cause it to malfunction.
About discs
Conventional audio CDs bearing the COMPACT DISC

Properly finalized CD-R and CD-RW discs.
ation impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs, let the player sit for one or two hours at the new room temperature before using.
Never use a disc that has had a stabilizer mounted to
it. The residual adhesive may cause the disc to stick to the turntable of the CD-160MKll. If it sticks to the turntable, you will need a technician to get it out.
Copy-protected discs and other discs that do not
conform to the CD standard may not play back cor rectly 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.

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

1 − Introduction

Handling of compact discs

The CD-160MKII has been designed for the playback of CD-DA (standard audio) format discs and MP3 files recorded on the discs using the ISO9660 format: In addi tion to ordinary 5-inch and 3-inch CDs.
Always place the compact discs in the trays with their
label facing upward.
To remove a disc from its case, press down on the center
of the disc holder, then lift the disc out, holding it care fully by the edges.
Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions, ben
zene, paint thinner or other chemical agents to clean CDs as they could damage the delicate playing surface. It may cause CDs to become unplayable.
Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid
dirt as well as serious scratches that could cause the laser pickup to “skip.”
Avoid getting fingerprints on the signal side (the non-
label side). Grime and dust may cause skipping, so keep discs clean and store them in their cases when not being played. To clean the signal side of a disc, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth from the center towards the outside edge.
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.
Do not use cracked discs.
Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non-circu
lar promotional, etc. discs.
The CD-160MKll cannot play unfinalized CD-R/RW discs.
CD-R and CD-RW discs are sensitive to the effects of
heat and ultraviolet rays. It is important that they are not stored in a location where direct sunlight will fall on them, and which is away from sources of heat such as radiators or heat-generating electrical devices.
When labeling CD-R and CD-RW discs, always use a
soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information. Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this may cause damage to the recorded side.
If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a
CD-R and CD-RW discs, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly.
Music discs with copy control, a copy-protection sys
tem, have been released form several record companies in an attempt to protect the copyright. Since some of these discs do not comply with the CD specifications, they may not be playable on the CD-160MKII.
-
-
Keep discs away from direct sunlight, and places of
high heat and humidity. If left in such places, warping could result.
Do not affix any labels or stickers to the label side of the
disc and do not use any protective coating spray.
Use of the remote control unit
Do not expose the infrared receiver (light receptive area
on the front panel) to direct sunlight or intense light for extended periods of time. Long exposure to this light may result in failure of the remote control sensor.
When the remote control will not be used over one
month, please remove the batteries to prevent the pos­sibility of battery acid leakage which could damage the unit. Should leakage occur, remove and discard the batteries, and wipe the battery case thoroughly with a cloth. Avoid getting the battery liquid on the skin. After cleaning, replace with new batteries.
The remote control functions by using an infrared light
signal. When using the unit to control the CD-160MKII,
other devices that are turned on could be operated by its signal.
If the range of remote operation becomes smaller, or
commands do not always function properly, the batter­ies have become weak and should be replaced. Always replace both batteries with new batteries of the same type.
Point the remote control to the remote sensor on the
main unit. Do not obstruct the path between the remote control and the remote sensor.
