<

The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage as
printed on the rear panel of the supplied subwoofer. 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 or any other
electronic device that generates heat.

< Do not open the sealed cabinet as this might result in damage

to the circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object should

Discs

MP3 compatibility

< File names of MP3 should be alphanumeric characters. This

unit cannot display symbols and full-size or 2 bytes-wide
characters (such as Japanese, Chinese, etc.) correctly. Also, be
sure to use the file extension “.mp3”.

<

The disc must be finalized in order to play.

<

The CD-ROM must be ISO 9660 compatible.

<

When more than 200 files or folders are recorded on the disc,
the unit might not be able to play it correctly.

< Mono or stereo MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 format, 44.1 or

48 kHz, fixed bit-rate.

< 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.

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 where direct sunlight
will fall on them, and 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.

<

Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD
stabilizers with this unit will damage the mechanisms 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:

<

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.

< 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

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.

If you want, you can hook the AM antenna on a wall as
shown below:

A

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.

FM antenna

While in FM mode, tune in an FM station and extend the
lead to find the best position for reception. This antenna
may need to be repositioned if you move your unit to a new
location.

FM Outdoor Antenna

In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be necessary to
use a 75-ohm unbalanced-type outdoor FM antenna using
an optional (not supplied) matching transformer connected
to an external 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.
