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 90 degrees noncondensing.

< 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 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 or the unit.

WHEN MOVING THIS UNIT

When changing the unit’s location or packing the unit for moving, be sure to remove the record or disc. Moving this unit with the record or disc loaded may result in damage to this unit. If the unit is to be packed and moved a great distance, it is also advisable to tighten the turntable transport locking screw. See Page 9 for instructions.

ENGLISH

Handling Records

< Keep your records away from dust. Keep them in a cool, dry

place.

< To avoid dust and scratches, keep records in their sleeves and

jackets when not in use.

< Store records upright on their edges. Records stored

horizontally will eventually bend and warp.

< Do not expose records to direct sunlight or high humidity and

temperature. Long exposure to high temperatures will warp the record.

< Do not store your records in the trunk of your car. The

temperature in a closed trunk can ruin your collection.

< Store records in an area with stable temperature and

humidity.

< Should the record become dirty, gently wipe the surface in a

circular motion, using a soft anti-static cloth. Commercial record cleaning systems are available from many retailers or on-line. TEAC does not endorse any specific product but, depending on the condition of your record collection, it may be advisable to look into one of these systems. Clean records protect your stylus from undue wear.

< Do not touch the record’s grooves. Only handle records, by

the edges or the label, with clean hands. Skin oils from even clean hands can leave a residue on the record surface that will gradually deteriorate the quality of your record.

How to Replace the Stylus

The stylus should last about 50 hours under normal use. However, it is recommended that the stylus be replaced as soon as you notice a change in sound quality. Prolonged use of a worn-out stylus may damage the record. Wear and tear on the stylus will be accelerated when playing 78 RPM records. The higher speed of 78 RPM records wears the stylus more quickly.

Caution:

< Do not remove or bend the stylus. < To avoid injury, do not touch the needle. < Turn off the unit’s power before you replace the stylus. < Keep out of the reach of children. < Handle with care, as the stylus is delicate. Use of a bent or

broken stylus may damage the record and cause the turntable to malfunction.

< Do not expose stylus to extreme heat. < Contact a qualified repair company if you experience difficulty

in changing the stylus.

Removing old stylus

1. Set a screwdriver at the tip of the stylus and push down to the direction “A”.

2. Remove the stylus by pulling it forward and down.

The replacement stylus for this LP-R400 is an STL-103. Please contact TEAC Parts at (323) 726-0303, extension 840 to order. Or call our automated Service Agency Locator at: (800) 447TEAC for the closest authorized repair company that can replace the stylus for you.

Installing a new stylus

1. Hold the tip of the stylus and insert the other edge by pressing in the direction “B”.

2. Push up in the direction “C” until it locks at the tip.

How to remove the disc How to hold 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.

< 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.

< 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:

Please use CD, CD-R and CD-RW discs bearing the “DIGITAL AUDIO” mark.

This unit CANNOT RECORD CD-R and CD-RW discs designed for computer systems.

In this manual, although we refer to “CD-R” and CD-RW” discs, we always mean “CD-R Digital Audio” and “CD-RW Digital Audio”, even when this is not explicitly stated.

< CD-R and CD-RW discs designed for computer systems and

properly recorded by a computer are playable, but this unit cannot record, finalize nor erase them.

< 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.

About CD-R and CD-RW discs

CD-R discs can be recorded once only. Once they have been used for recording, they cannot be erased or re-recorded. However, if space is available on the disc (and the disc has not been finalized), additional material can be recorded.

By contrast, a CD-RW disc can be used in much the same way as a CD-R disc, but the last track or tracks recorded can be erased, and the space on the disc can be re-used for other recordings.

However, you should note that an audio CD created using a CD-RW disc may not play back satisfactorily on every audio CD player. CD-R, by contrast, may be played satisfactorily on the majority of audio CD players.

Finalizing

Although audio data may be written on a CD-R or CD-RW disc, a standard CD player will not be able to play back the audio until a final table of contents (TOC) has been written at the start of the disc. The process of writing this table of contents is known as “finalizing”. Once this has been done, no further data can be written to the disk. Note that a CD-RW disc that has been finalized can be “unfinalized”. This allows further tracks to be recorded to the disc, provided that there is space on the disc.

< Repeat, shuffle and programmed playback don’t work with

unfinalized (NO TOC) discs.

Recordable discs

In this manual, we use the term “recordable” disc to describe a CD-R or CD-RW disc that has not been finalized, and has enough space to record.

Tur ntable Cover

To attach the turntable cover

1. Slide the hinges on both sides of the rear of the turntable into the hinge fittings as far as they will go.

2. Place the turntable cover hinge fittings over the top portion of the hinges and slide the cover down into place.

To detach the turntable cover

Hold the cover on both sides and gently pull upward to remove it from the hinges.

To Close:

Slowly lower the cover until it touches the turntable base.

Note:

Make sure you grasp the cover by the edges to avoid pinching your fingers as it closes.

To Open:

Before Recording

Before you start recording, make sure that you understand the following points:

< The unit requires Digital Audio CD-R or CD-RW media for

recording. Computer CD-R or CD-RW discs do not work with this unit.

< Once you have recorded on a CD-R disc, the data cannot be

erased from it.

< You can add tracks to an unfinalized recordable disc. Once

finalized, a CD-R disc is “fixed” and behaves in the same way as a CD. Finalized CD-RW discs, however, can be unfinalized, erased and re-recorded.

< If the STOP button or PLAY/PAUSE button is pressed within

four seconds from the beginning of a track, the unit continues to record no signal and stops when the track’s length reaches four seconds.

< When the recording is finished, “REC” and “- ENd - - - -”

blink for a few seconds, and the unit then goes into stop mode. Do not apply shock or vibration to the unit during recording.

< If the disc reaches the end during recording, the unit will start

a fade-out over a few seconds. When the fade-out has finished, the unit finalizes the disc automatically and stops.

< If the disc reaches the end of the 99th track during recording,

the unit finalizes the disc automatically and stops.

< The recording time of a track may differ slightly from the

original one.

Serial Copy Management System

This unit is in compliance with the Serial Copy Management System standard. This standard has been established to restrict digital-to-digital copying to only the first generation. The basic rules governing this system are as follows:

Rule 1

A digital recording is possible from a digital source such as a CD, DAT or MD onto a recordable CD-R, CD-RW, MD or DAT through a digital input connection. However, further digitalto-digital recording is prohibited for the second and later generations.

Rule 2

When an analog source such as an analog disc or FM broadcast is digitally recorded by using a CD-R, CD-RW, MD or DAT, this recorded source can be digitally recorded on another CD-R, CD-RW, MD or DAT. However, further digital copying is prohibited.

Recording

When the MANUAL/AUTO REC button is pressed once, the current mode is displayed. Press the MANUAL/AUTO REC button repeatedly to select any other mode.

– – (MANUAL)

The unit doesn’t divide tracks. Use the TRACK INCREMENT button to divide tracks. MANUAL is recommended for recording an analog source such as a record.

–20db, –30db or –40db (AUTO REC)

The unit will automatically insert a track division in the recorded material when the sound level has dropped below the threshold for more than 2 seconds, and sound has restarted.

“–20db” takes a louder signal to trigger the track increment. “–40db” means that a relatively quiet signal will trigger the track increment. “–40db” is suitable for recording a noiseless source such as a CD.

< AUTO REC may not work properly with analog sources that

contain low-level noises.

< The AUTO indicator lights when –20dB, –30dB or –40dB is

selected.

< The default setting is MANUAL (off). When the unit is turned

on, the setting is automatically reset to MANUAL (off).

< The MANUAL/AUTO REC button doesn’t work during

recording or in the record pause mode.

Press the RECORD button.

Audio from the PHONO or AUX sources can be recorded on the CD recorder.

Press the PHONO/AUX button once or twice to select the source to be recorded.

To record a record, select PHONO. To record an external source connected to the AUX IN jacks, select AUX.

Load a recordable CD-R or CD-RW disc into the unit.

Press the OPEN/CLOSE button (L), place a disc on the disc tray with the printed label side up, and then press the OPEN/CLOSE button (L) to close the disc tray.

Make sure “NO TOC” and “CD-R” (or “CD-RW”) indicators light on the display, or the RECORD button in step will not work.

Select the mode of track number assignment using the MANUAL/AUTO REC button.

The red indicator on the RECORD button blinks. The unit enters record pause mode. In record pause mode, “REC” indicator blinks and the J indicator lights on the display.

< No button will work while “bUSY” is displayed. Wait a few

seconds until “bUSY” disappears from the display.

< If the red indicator on the RECORD button doesn’t light,

reload a recordable disc, wait a few seconds until “NO TOC” and “CD-R” (or “CD-RW”) indicators light on the display, and press the RECORD button again.
