Discs
Discs which can be played on this unit:
Conventional audio CDs bearing the CD-DA logo on the label:
M
Properly finalized CD-R and CD-RW discs
M
MP3/WMA CDs
M
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 lab el side
<
uppermost. (Compact discs can be played or recorded only on
one side.)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
<
temperatur e for ext ended periods . Long ex posure to high
temperatures will warp the disc.
MP3 and WMA
This unit can play MP3 and WMA files recorded on a CD-R, CD-
<
RW.
File names of MP3 or WMA should be alphanumeric characters.
<
This unit cannot display symbols and full-size or double-byte
characters (such as Japanese, Chinese, etc.) correctly. Also, be
sure to use the file extension. (“.mp3” for MP3 files, “.wma” for
WMA files.)
MP3 files are mono or stereo MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 format. This
<
unit can play MP3 files with sampling frequency 44.1 kHz or 48
kHz, bit-rate 320 kbps or less.
This unit can play WMA files with sampling frequency 44.1 kHz,
<
bit-rate 192 kbps or less. WMA means Windows Media Audio.
Audio encoded at 128 Kbps should sound close to regular audio
<
CD quality. Although this player will play lower bit-rate MP3
tracks, the sound quality becomes noticeably worse at lower bit
rates.
The disc must be finalized in order to play.
<
The CD-ROM must be ISO 9660 compatible.
<
Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or damaged.
<
Playing such discs may cause irreparable harm to the playing
mechanisms.
4
When more than 255 files are recorded on the disc, the unit
<
might not be able to play it correctly.

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 mar ginal 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.
