Important Safety Information
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, with­in equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral trian­gle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servic­ing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK
HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS
APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
1 Read these instructions.
2 Keep these instructions.
3 Heed all warnings.

8 Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators,
heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A ground­ing type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are pro­vided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replace­ment of the obsolete outlet.
12 Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the appa­ratus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13 Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or
when unused for long periods of time.
14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
The apparatus draws nominal non-operating power from the AC outlet with its POWER or STANDBY/ON switch not in the ON position.
The mains plug is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
Caution should be taken when using earphones or headphones with the product because excessive sound pressure (volume) from earphones or headphones can cause hearing loss.
If you are experiencing problems with this product, contact TEAC for a service referral. Do not use the product until it has been repaired.
CAUTION
Do not expose this apparatus to drips or splashes.
Do not place any objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on the apparatus.
Do not install this apparatus in a confined space such as a book case or similar unit.
The apparatus should be located close enough to the AC outlet so that you can easily grasp the power cord plug at any time.
If the product uses batteries (including a battery pack or installed batteries), they should not be exposed to sunshine, fire or excessive heat.
CAUTION for products that use replaceable lithium batteries: there is danger of explosion if a battery is replaced with an incorrect type of battery. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or
pinched particularly at plugs, convenience recep­tacles, and the point where they exit from the appa­ratus.
11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
WARNING
Products with Class ! construction are equipped with a power supply cord that has a grounding plug. The cord of such a product must be plugged into an AC outlet that has a protective grounding connection.

Other company names, product names and logos in this document are the trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective owners.

Precautions for placement and use

The operating temperature should be between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F).
Do not install in the following types of places. Doing so could degrade the sound quality and/or cause malfunctions.
Places with significant vibrations or that are otherwise unstable
Near windows or other places exposed to direct sunlight
Near heaters or other extremely hot places
Extremely cold places
Places with bad ventilation or high humidity
Very dusty locations
This unit can be installed at an angle of ±5°.
In order to assure good heat dissipation, do not place any object on top of the unit.
Do not install this unit on top of any heat-generating electrical device such as a power amplifier.

Connecting the power

Insert the included power cord into the • AC IN connector completely.
Hold the power cord by the plug when connecting or disconnecting it.

About discs

In addition to commercially-available music CDs, this unit can play CD-R discs that have been recorded in audio CD (CD-DA) format, as well as CD-R discs that have WAV audio files recorded on them. It can also playback 8cm discs.

Handling of compact discs

Always load compact discs with their labels 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 carefully by the edges.
Do not touch the signal side (the unlabeled side). Fingerprints, oils and other substances can cause errors during playback.
To clean the signal side of a disc, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth from the center towards the outside edge. Dirt on discs can lower the sound quality, so clean them and always store them in a clean state.
Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions, benzene, paint thinner or other chemical agents to clean CDs as they could damage the delicate playing surface. It may cause CDs to become unplayable.
Do not apply labels or other materials to discs. Do not use discs that have had tape, stickers or other materials applied to their surface. Do not use discs that have sticky residue from stickers, etc. Such discs could become stuck in the unit or cause it to malfunction.
Never use a commercially available CD stabilizer. Using stabilizers with this player will damage the mechanism and cause it to malfunction.
Do not use cracked discs.
Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non-circular promotional discs, etc.

Beware of condensation

If the unit is moved from a cold to a warm place, or used immediately after a cold room has been heated or otherwise exposed to a sudden temperature change, condensation could occur. Should this happen, leave the unit for one or two hours before turning the unit on.

Cleaning the unit

To clean the unit, wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth. Do not wipe with chemical cleaning cloths, benzene, paint thinner, ethyl alcohol or other chemical agents to clean the unit as they could damage the surface.
Music discs with copy control, a copy-protection system, 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 unit.

File and folders on data CDs

Some data CDs store files inside folders in the same way that ordinary computers do. In addition, several folders can be stored inside another folder, creating a multilevel structure.
This unit assigns a folder number to each folder to manage them. Folder numbers are assigned sequentially starting with the folders at the highest level followed by the folders (subfolders) inside them.
If the root folder of a data CD contains one or more audio files, it will be numbered as the first folder.
Each audio file is also assigned a number. File numbers are assigned in order starting from those in the lowest numbered folder.
During ordinary playback of data CDs, tracks are played back in the assigned numerical order just like those on audio CDs.
