CAUTION

The product shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing and that no object filled with liquids, such
as vases, shall be placed on the product.

Do not install this equipment in a confined space
such as a book case or similar unit.

Compact Disc

Discs which can be played on this unit:

• Conventional audio CDs bearing the CD-DA logo
on the label:

• Properly finalized CD-R and CD-RW discs

Note:

< Depending on the quality of the disc and/or the

condition of the recording, some CD-R/CD-RW
discs may not be playable.

< 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.

< Always place the disc on the disc tray with the label

side uppermost. (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.

< Discs should be returned to their cases after use to

avoid dust and scratches that could cause the laser
pickup to ‘skip’.

< Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high

humidity and temperature for extended periods.
Long exposure to high temperatures will warp the
disc.

< Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or

damaged. Playing such discs may cause irreparable
harm to the playing mechanisms.

< CD-R and CD-RW discs are more sensitive to the

effects of heat and ultraviolet rays than ordinary
CDs. 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.

< Printable CD-R and CD-RW discs aren’t

recommended, as the label side might be sticky and
damage the unit.

< Do not stick papers or protective sheets on the

discs and do not use any protective coating spray.

< Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the

information on the label side. Never use a ball-point
or hard-tipped pen, as this may cause damage to
the recorded side.

How to remove the disc How to hold the disc

< Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface

radially (from the center hole outward towards the
outer edge) with a soft, dry cloth:

< 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.

< Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available

CD stabilizers with this unit will damage the
mechanisms and cause them to malfunction.

< Do not use irregular shape CDs (octagonal, heart

shaped, business card size, etc.). CDs of this sort
can damage the unit:

< If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling

of a CD-R/CD-RW disc, read the precautions
supplied with the disc, or contact the disc
manufacturer directly.

Speaker Connections

Caution:

< To avoid damaging the speakers by inputting a

sudden high-level signal, be sure to switch the
power off before connecting the speakers.

< Check the impedance of your speakers. Connect

speaker with an impedance of 6 ohms or more.

< The amplifier’s red speaker terminals are the +

(positive) terminals and the black terminals are the
_ (negative) terminals.
The + side of the speaker cable is marked to
make it distinguishable from the negative side of
the cable. Connect this marked side to the red +
terminal and the unmarked side to the black _
terminal.

< Prepare the speaker cords for connection by

stripping off approximately 10 mm or less (no
more as this could cause a short-circuit) of the
outer insulation. Twist the wires tightly together
to avoid tangles:

CAUTION

< Turn off the power of all the equipment before

making connections.

< Read instructions of each component you intend

to use with this unit.

< Be sure to insert each plug securely. To prevent

hum and noise, do not bundle the connection
cords with the power cord or speaker cord.

Connecting Antennas (AM/FM)

Make sure to connect
the black wire to the
GND terminal.

AM Outdoor
Antenna

AM Indoor Loop Antenna

The high-performance AM loop antenna provided
with this unit is sufficient for good reception in
most areas.
To stand the loop antenna on a surface, fix the
claw to the slot in the antenna base.

Connect the loop antenna’s wires to the AM
antenna terminals.

Place the antenna on a shelf or hang it on a
window frame, etc., in the direction which gives
the best reception. Keep all other wires such as
power cords, speaker wires or interconnect wires as
far away as possible from the antenna.

FM Indoor Antenna

Connect the lead-type FM antenna to the FM 75Ω
socket, extend the lead and tune the tuner to your
favorite station (see page 28). Adjust the antenna
in a suitable location like a window frame or wall
until the reception is best and then affix the
antenna in that position using thumb tacks, push
pins or any other suitable means.

< If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver

sufficient reception (often due to being too far
from the transmitter or in a concrete building, etc.),
it may be necessary to use an outdoor AM antenna.
Use either a high quality commercial AM antenna
or, if not available, an insulated wire more than 5
m long, strip one end, and connect this to the
terminal as shown.
The antenna wire should be strung outdoors or
indoors near a window. For better reception,
connect the GND terminal to a reliable ground.

Note:

Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not
disconnect the AM loop antenna.

6

FM Outdoor Antenna

In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be
necessary to use an outdoor FM antenna.
Generally, a 3-element antenna will be sufficient; if
you live in an area where the FM signals are
particularly weak, it may be necessary to use one
with 5 or more elements.

< Disconnect the FM indoor antenna when using an

outdoor antenna.

Connecting Antennas (DAB)

Multi-element

Dipole

DAB Indoor Antenna

Connect the T-type DAB antenna to the DAB
socket, extend the lead vertically and attach it to a
window frame or wall with thumbtacks, or the like,
where reception is best.

DAB Outdoor Antenna

In an area where DAB signals are weak, it will be
necessary to use an outdoor DAB antenna. There
are two main types available.

Dipole:

For use in marginal signal areas. This type of
antenna is omnidirectional and should increase the
strength of all DAB stations being received.

Multi-element antenna:

Also for use in marginal or poor signal areas. This
type of antenna is directional and has high gain.
This antenna needs to be pointed at the transmitter
you want to listen to.

< You can check the antenna adjustment or

positioning for the best reception by viewing the
signal strength on the display.

The signal strength is displayed as a bar graph by
pressing the ENTER button once.

< It is possible to use a TV or FM antenna with your

DAB tuner as this is normally mounted externally.
This may give a stronger signal than a simple
internal antenna, however it would not be tuned
specifically for DAB reception.

You would need to change the plug on your TV/FM
antenna to an F type, and it may also be necessary
to use a signal booster to enhance the signal.

With this unit you can receive and listen to Digital
Audio Broadcast (DAB) programmes. DAB uses digital,
not analogue signals, resulting in near CD-quality
audio with virtually interference-free reception. Along
with superior quality audio, DAB can also deliver
additional audio channels and text. In the future,
computer data and images are also possible.

Digital radio is broadcast as groups of data called
ensembles or multiplexes. Each multiplex can contain a
number of stations (services) and each station contains
a primary service and can contain secondary services
as illustrated in the following diagram.

Each multiplex is transmitted in a set frequency range
and received by this unit for decoding. You can receive
multiplexes broadcast in the 174-240 MHz frequency
band and store the services in each multiplex for you
to access. The number of multiplexes you receive
depend on your location. Channels used in the UK are
in the range 10A to 12D.

Multiplexes and stations have labels (names) that are
used to identify them. Instead of needing to know the
particular frequency of your favourite broadcast, you
can simply select the station name. Secondary services
and additional data such as text or multiplex info are
also available.

Troubleshooting

In case of trouble with the unit, please take the time to look through this chart and see if you can solve the
problem yourself before you call your dealer or TEAC service center.

Amplifier

No power

e Check the connection to the AC power supply.

No sound from speakers.

e Check the connection to the speakers.
e Adjust the volume.
e Select proper source.
e Pull out the headphone plug from PHONES jack.
e If muting is on, press the MUTING button.

The sound is noisy.

e The unit is too close to a TV set or similar

appliances. Install the unit apart from them, or
turn them off.

and point at the front panel.

e Clear obstacles between the remote control unit

and the main unit.

e If a fluorescent light is near the unit, turn it off.

Tuner (FM/AM)

Cannot listen to any station, or signal is too
weak.

e Tune in the station properly.
e If a TV is near the unit, turn it off.
e Install the antenna again after locating the best

reception position.

e An external antenna is recommended.

Though the broadcast is stereo, it sounds
monaural.

e Press the FM MODE button.

DAB tuner

No sound.

e Ensure that the CR-H250 has been able to locate

DAB stations.

‘NO stations Available’ appears on the display.

e Check that antenna is connected (see page 7).
e Ensure that DAB coverage exists in your area.

Cannot access secondary services.

Maintenance

If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe with a soft
cloth or use diluted neutral cleaning liquid. Be sure to
remove any fluid completely. Do not use thinner,
benzine or alcohol as they may damage the surface of
the unit.

Beware of condensation

When the unit (or a 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. To prevent this,
or if this occurs, leave the unit for one or two hours
with the power turned on. The unit will stabilize at the
temperature of its surroundings.
