Before Using the Unit

Read this before attempting any operations.

<The nominal temperature should be between 5°C and 35°C (41°F and 95°F). The CD-RW recorder is more sensitive to extremes of temperature than ordinary CD players.

<Relative humidity should be 30 to 85 percent non condensing.

<As the unit may become warm during operation, always leave sufficient space around the unit for ventilation.

<The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage as printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this matter, consult an electrician.

<Choose the installation location of your unit carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also avoid locations subject to vibrations and excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture.

<Do not place the unit on an amplifier/receiver.

<Do not open the cabinet as this might result in damage to the circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object should get into the unit, contact your dealer or service company.

<When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull directly on the plug, never yank the cord.

<To keep the laser pickup clean, do not touch it and always close the disc tray.

<Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

<Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

<Do not tilt the main unit while a disc is inserted. Doing so may cause a malfunction.

DO NOT MOVE THE UNIT DURING PLAYBACK/RECORDING

During playback or recording, the disc rotates at high speed. Do NOT lift or move the unit during playback or recording. Doing so may damage the disc or the unit.

WHEN MOVING THIS UNIT

When changing the unit’s location or packing the unit for moving, be sure to remove the disc. Moving this unit with the disc loaded may result in damage to this unit.

Connections

CAUTION:

<Switch off the power to all equipment before making connections.

<Read the instructions of each component you intend to use with this unit.

<Be sure to insert each plug securely. To prevent hum and noise, avoid bundling the signal interconnection cables together with the AC power cord.

Discs

Playable discs

Please use CD discs bearing the “COMPACT disc DIGITAL AUDIO” logo.

CD-R and CD-RW discs properly recorded and finalized in audio CD format.

The main unit can play the above discs without an adapter. Other discs are not available.

If you attempt to play discs other than the above, a loud noise may occur to damage the speakers or your hearing. Do not play such discs.

<Copy-protected discs, DualDiscs 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.

About CD-R and CD-RW discs

The main unit can play CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in audio CD format (CD-DA).

<Remember to finalize a disc recorded with the CD recorder.

<Depending on the quality of the disc and/or the condition of the recording, some CD-R/CD-RW discs may not be playable.

<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.

CD-R and CD-RW discs bearing the "DIGITAL AUDIO" logo

Cautions for use

<Do not use cracked discs as doing so may cause a malfunction.

<Printable CD-R and CD-RW discs are not 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.

<Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD stabilizers with this unit will damage the mechanism and cause them to malfunction.

<Do not use CDs with an irregular shape (octagonal, heart shaped, business card size, etc.). CDs of this sort can damage the unit:

Handling 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.)

<Scratches, fingerprints, dirt, etc. on the signal recording surface (without labels) may cause a playback error. Be careful when handling.

<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.

Storing disc

<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.

<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 away from sources of heat such as radiators or heat-generating electrical devices.

<Dirt on the disc may cause the sound to skip or lower the sound quality. Always keep it clean when storing.

Maintenance

<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.

Remote Control Unit

The provided remote control unit allows the unit to be operated from a distance. When operating the remote control unit, point it towards the REMOTE SENSOR on the front panel of the unit.

<Even if the remote control unit is operated within the effective range, remote control operation may be impossible if there are any obstacles between the unit and the remote control.

<The remote control may not work if the remote sensor is exposed to direct sunlight or electric lighting. In this case, move the main unit.

<If the remote control unit is operated near other appliances which generate infrared rays, or if other remote control devices using infrared rays are used near the unit, it may operate incorrectly. Conversely, the other appliances may operate incorrectly.

Battery Installation

Remove the battery compartment cover.

Insert two “AA” (R6, SUM-3) dry batteries. Make sure that the batteries are inserted with their positive “+” and negative“_” poles positioned correctly.

Close the cover.

Battery Replacement

If the distance required between the remote control unit and main unit decreases, the batteries are exhausted. In this case replace the batteries with new ones.

For more information about collection of batteries, please contact your local municipality, your waste disposal service or the point of sale where you purchased the items.

Precautions concerning batteries

Misuse of batteries could cause them to rupture or leak leading to fire, injury or the staining of nearby things. Please read and observe the following precautions carefully.

<Be sure to insert the batteries with correct positive “+” and negative “_” polarities.

<Use batteries of the same type. Never use different types of batteries together.

<Rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries can be used. Refer to the precautions on their labels.

<When the remote control unit is not to be used for a long time (more than a month), remove the batteries from the remote control unit to prevent them from leaking. If they leak, wipe away the liquid inside the battery compartment and replace the batteries with new ones.

<Do not heat or disassemble batteries and never dispose of old batteries by throwing them in a fire.

<Do not carry or store batteries with metal accessories. Doing so may cause short-circuiting, leakage, breakage, etc.
