Discs

Discs which can be played on this unit:

• Conventional audio CDs bearing the COMPACT DISC
DIGITAL AUDIO 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 that 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.

How to remove the disc How to hold the disc

< Always place the disc on the disc tray with the label side up.

(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.

<

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 with direct sunlight and
keep your discs away from sources of heat such as radiators
or heat-generating electrical devices.

<

Printable discs aren’t recommended because the label side
might be sticky (or contain glue), which will 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 information on

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

<

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 any
disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact
the disc manufacturer directly.

< Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface from the

center hole outward towards the outer edge with a soft, dry,
lint-free cloth:

<

Never use chemicals such as record (LP) sprays, antistatic
sprays or fluids, 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 each use to avoid
dust and scratches that may eventually cause your disc to
skip.

<

Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, or high
temperatures for extended periods. Long exposure to high
temperatures will warp the disc.

<

Do not play any disc that is warped, scratched, deformed or
damaged. Playing such discs may cause irreparable harm to
the playback mechanism.
