Before Use
Read this before operation
< 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 set, contact your
dealer or service agency.
< When removing the power plug from the wall
outlet, always pull directly on the plug, never yank
the cord.
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.
< To keep the laser pickup clean, do not touch it, and
do not forget to close the disc tray when not using
the CD player.
< 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 MOVE THE UNIT DURING PLAYBACK
During playback, the disc rotates at high speed. Do
NOT lift or move the unit during playback. Doing so
may damage the disc.

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.
4
< 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.
MP3 and WMA
How to Reset the Settings
to the Factory Defaults
< This unit can play MP3 and WMA files recorded on
a CD-R, CD-RW or USB storage device.
< 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-rate320 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.
If the power supply is interrupted for 14 days or
longer, all the settings kept in memory (such as preset
stations and timer settings) will be erased.
It will take more than 3 days after plugging the power
cord into the outlet to charge enough electricity for
the memory backup function.
If you want to manually initialize the settings,
hold down the FUNCTION/FM MODE button for
more than 4 seconds in stanby mode.

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 25). 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.
8
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.
Remote Control Unit
The provided Remote Control Unit allows the unit to
be operated from a distance.

‘+’ 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.
3. Close the cover.
