1 − Introduction
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.
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.
About USB memory, SD cards and CF cards
The capacities and performance of your unit will vary
based on the speed and abilities of the media used. Older
and some cheaper USB memory/SD cards/CF cards use
slower memory components and little internal buffering
which results in poor recording performance.
A list of USB memory/SD cards/CF cards that we have
confirmed to work with this unit is provided on our
website (http://tascam.com/).
SD card write-protection
This unit writes track information to the media in order to
improve performance. Since track data cannot be written
to write-protected SD cards, media reading will take
longer and performance could otherwise be affected.
Media formatting
Flash media that has been formatted by this unit is
optimized for performance during recording. Using
flash media that has been formatted by a computer,
for example, could result in errors during recording. We
recommend that whenever possible you use flash media
after it has been formatted by this unit.
About compact discs
This unit uses USB memory, SD cards and CF cards for
playback and recording.
A list of USB memory, SD cards and CF cards that we
have confirmed to work with this unit is provided on our
website (http://tascam.com/).
Precautions for use
USB memory, SD cards and CF cards are delicate media. In
order to avoid damaging a memory/card or the memory/
card slot, please take the following precautions 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.
•
Do not put things on top of them or twist them.
•
Do not hit them.
•
Do not insert or remove a USB memory, SD card or CF
•
card during recording, playback, data transfer or other
operations that access a memory or card.
Do not carry them with terminals exposed. Use the
•
protective cover.
Media that has been confirmed for use with this unit
This unit uses USB memory, SD cards and CF cards for
playback and recording.
Microdrives cannot be used with this unit.
In addition to commercially-available music CDs, this unit
can play CD-R and CD-RW discs that have been recorded
in audio CD format, as well as CD-R and CD-RW discs that
have MP3 audio and WAV audio files recorded on them. In
addition to 5-inch CDs, it can also play 3-inch CDs.
Handling of compact discs
For recording, use compact discs that have one of the
•
following marks.
CD-R
CD-RW
Always insert the compact discs in the slot 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 carefully by the edges.
Do not touch the signal side (the unlabeled side).
•
Fingerprints, oils and other substances can cause errors
during playback.
TASCAM SS-CDR200/SS-R200/SS-R100 11
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

1 − Introduction
Slot loading of discs
1 As shown in the illustration, hold the disc with the
labeled side up and insert it part way into the slot.
2 After you push the disc a little further, it will be
pulled in automatically just before it disappears
into the slot.
Loading 3-inch CDs
When loading a 3-inch CD, push it into the center of the
slot completely. If not centered, loading might not occur
properly.
Trouble inserting a disc
If the disc becomes stuck during insertion, for example,
and is difficult to push, do not try to force the disc in. Pull
the disc out once and press the EJECT button and then
try inserting it again. (Trying to force the disc in could
damage the unit.)
Music discs with copy control, a copy-protection
•
system, have been released from 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.
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.
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,
additional material can be recorded.
By finalizing a CD-R that you have finished using for
recording, you can make it playable by most ordinary CD
players. (Some CD players might not be able to play back
CD-R discs even if they are finalized.)
CD-RW discs allow recorded tracks to be erased to make
space available again, allowing disc reuse. However, tracks
can only be erased in the order from the last added. To
erase a track in the middle, you must erase all the tracks
added after it at the same time. Finalized CD-RW discs can
only be played back in CD players that support CD-RW
disc playback.
