IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT
REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS
INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an
equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the
product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.
WARNING: TO PREVENT FIRE OR SHOCK HAZARD,
DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR
MOISTURE.
For U.S.A.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the equipment and/or the receiving
antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions.
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or groundingtype plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than
the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third
grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided
for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,
consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with
the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution
when moving the cart/apparatus combination
to avoid injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or
when unused for long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is
required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such
as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled
or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has
been dropped.
o
The apparatus draws nominal non-operating power from the
AC outlet with its POWER or STANDBY/ON switch not in the ON
position.
o
The mains plug is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect
device shall remain readily operable.
o
Caution should be taken when using earphones or headphones
with the product because excessive sound pressure (volume) from
earphones or headphones can cause hearing loss.
CAUTION
o
Do not expose this apparatus to drips or splashes.
o
Do not place any objects filled with liquids, such as vases, on
the apparatus.
o
Do not install this apparatus in a confined space such as a book
case or similar unit.
o
The apparatus should be located close enough to the AC outlet
so that you can easily reach the power cord plug at any time.
o
If the product uses batteries (including a battery pack or
installed batteries), they should not be exposed to sunshine, fire
or excessive heat.
o
CAUTION for products that use replaceable lithium batteries:
there is danger of explosion if a battery is replaced with an
incorrect type of battery. Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
WARNING
Products with Class construction are equipped with a power supply cord that has a grounding plug. The cord of such a product
must be plugged into an AC outlet that has a protective grounding connection.

Placement precautions
Do not put anything on top of the unit.
o
Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or close to any
o
source of heat, such as a radiator, heater, open fireplace
or amplifier. Also avoid locations that are subject to vibrations or exposed to excessive dust, cold or moisture.
Place the unit in a stable location near the audio sys-
o
tem that you will use with it.
Do not move the unit during use.
o
The voltage supplied to the unit should match the volt-
o
age printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt
regarding this matter, consult an electrician.
As the unit could become warm during operation,
o
always leave sufficient space around it for ventilation.
When placing this unit, position it so that it is at least 3
cm (1.2" ) from walls and other devices in order to allow
good heat dissipation. When installing it in a rack, leave
at least 5 cm (2") open above the unit and 10 cm (4")
open behind it.
Do not open the body of the unit as this might result
o
in damage to the circuitry or cause electric shock. If a
foreign object should get into the unit, contact your
dealer or TEAC customer service.
When removing the power plug from the wall outlet,
o
always pull directly on the plug; never yank on the cord.
Depending on the electromagnetic waves of television
o
broadcasts, interference might appear on television
screens when this unit’s power is on. This does not
mean that this unit or the TV is malfunctioning. If this
occurs, turn this unit’s power off.
If the surface of the unit becomes dirty, wipe it with a
soft dry cloth. If the unit becomes very dirty, dampen a
soft cloth slightly with a diluted neutral cleanser and thoroughly wring out any excess fluid before using the cloth
to wipe the unit.
Q For your safety, disconnect the power cord from
the socket before cleaning.
Never spray liquid directly on the unit.
o
Do not use thinner or alcohol as they could damage
o
the surface of the unit.
Avoid allowing rubber or plastic materials to touch this
o
product for long periods of time, because they could
damage the cabinet.
V
Use precaution
Listening to anything at a high volume for a long time
could be harmful to your hearing. In order to protect
your ears, be careful not to set the volume too high
when listening with headphones for a long time.

Connecting headphones
1
Turn the VOLUME knob to its minimum
value (−∞ dB).
Using the DAMPING FACTOR knob
Impedance differs among models of headphones.
In order to allow you to enjoy optimal audio quality from
a variety of headphones, this unit has a DAMPING FACTOR
knob.
Adjust this setting as you like according to the headphones and music.
When set to a high value, the sound will be crisper
o
and livelier. When set to a low value, the sound will be
calmer and softer.
Use headphones with impedance ratings between 16 Ω
o
and 600 Ω with this unit.
−∞ dB: Minimum volume
0 dB: Maximum volume
