Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
6) Attachments — Do not use attachments not recommended by the
product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7) Water and Moisture — Do not use this product near water — for
example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet
basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.
8) Accessories — Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a
child or adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold
with the product. Any mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by
the manufacturer.
A product and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart
combination to overturn.
10) Ventilation — Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ven-
tilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it
from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The
openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa,
rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided
or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
11) Power Sources — This product should be operated only from the
type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of

power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or
other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
12) Grounding or Polarization — This product may be equipped with
a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider
than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This
is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet,
try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized plug.
13) Power-Cord Protection — Power-supply cords should be routed so
that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product.
14) Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an outside antenna or cable
system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and builtup static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

1.2 Environmental conditions
The TASCAM CD-302 may be used in most areas,
but to maintain top performance, and prolong operating life, observe the following environmental
conditions:
The nominal temperature should be between 5˚C and
35˚C (41˚F and 95˚F).
Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 degrees noncondensing.
Make sure that the drive unit is mounted in a level
position for correct operation.
The units should be mounted, using the supplied rack
mounting kits. A typical configuration is shown
below, but other configurations are possible:
NOTE
If the disc trays are more than 5 degrees away from
the horizontal, they will not open or close.
TASCAM CD-302

1 • Before you start—Backup memory
1.2.1 Beware of condensation
If the player (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 operation impossible. T o pre vent this,
or if this occurs, leave the player for one or two hours
with the power turned on, then turn the power of f and
on again.
1.2.2 Never use a stabilizer
The T ASCAM CD-302 has a stabilizer disc b uilt into
its drive mechanisms. Using commercially available
CD stabilizers with this player will damage the
mechanisms and cause them to malfunction.
NOTE
Never use a disc that has had a stabiliz er mounted to
it. The residual adhesive may cause the disc to stick
to the mechanism of the TASCAM CD-302. If it sticks
to the mechanism, you will need a technician to get it
out.
1.2.3 Handling of discs
The unit has been designed specifically for reproduction of discs bearing the mark. No other discs
can be reproduced.
Observe the following:
• Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the
outside of the disc. Small dust particles and light
stains will have absolutely no effect on reproduction quality.
• Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean
compact discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable
damage to the disc’s plastic surface.
• Discs should be returned to their cases after use to
avoid serious scratches that could cause the laser
pickup to “skip”.
• Don’t expose discs to direct sunlight or high
humidity and temperature for extended periods.
Long exposure to high temperature can warp the
disc.
• Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using noncircular promotional, etc. discs.
• To keep the laser pickups clean, don’t touch them.
For the same reason, don’t leav e the disc trays open
unnecessarily.
1.3 Backup memory
• Always place the compact discs in the trays with
their label facing upward (compact discs can only
be played 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.
• Finger marks and dust should be carefully wiped
off the disc’s recorded surface with a soft cloth.
Unlike conventional records, the compact disc has
no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris,
so gently wiping with a soft cloth should remove
most particles.
Each time you turn off the power, the status of the
following features are stored into back up memory.
• Playback mode (Continue, Single, Program)
• Time mode (Elapsed, remain)
• Preset functions
• Contents of Program
• BANKs A through E
• TEMPO key ((%, 16%, 32%)
• INDEX (on/off)
• LOOP (on/off)
1.4 Anti-shock memory
The CD-302 provides 10 seconds’ worth of antishock memory for each deck.
