move the unit during playback. Doing so may damage the disc
or the unit.
Handling precautions
< 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.
label
Maintenance
< Fingerprints and dust cause noise and sound skip and damage
the record and stylus. If the record becomes dirty, gently wipe
the surface in a circular motion. Be sure to clean the records with
a commercially available record cleaner.
< Commercial record cleaning systems are available from many
retailers or on-line. TEAC does not endorse any specific product

DiscsHow 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 under frequent use
of 78 RPM records because of its higher speed.
CAUTION:
< Do not disassemble or bend the stylus.
< 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.
< To avoid injury, do not touch the tip of the stylus.
< Keep the stylus out of the reach of children.
< Do not expose the stylus to extreme heat.
< Contact a qualified repair company if you experience difficulty in
replacing the stylus.
Removing old stylus
1. Turn off the unit’s power before you replace the stylus.
2. Set a screwdriver at the tip of the stylus and push it down in the
direction “A”.
3. Remove the stylus by pulling it forward.
Please use CD, CD-R and CD-RW discs bearing the
“DIGITALAUDIO” mark.

CAUTION:
< Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or damaged.
Playing such discs may cause irreparable harm to the playing
mechanisms.
< Printable CD-R and CD-RW discs are not 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.
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.
< 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 irregularly shaped discs (octagonal, heart shaped,
business card size, etc.). CDs of this sort can damage the unit.
Maintenance
< If the disc becomes dirty, wipe the surface radially from the
center hole outward towards the outer edge with a soft and dry
cloth.
< Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays
or fluid or thinner to clean the discs. Such chemicals will do
irreparable damage to the disc’s plastic surface.
Storage precautions
< 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-temperature
and humidity for extended periods. Long exposure to high
temperatures will warp the disc.
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.
ENGLISH
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 disc.
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 do not 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.
If a high-speed CD-RW disc (4X or more) is finalized using this
unit, the disc may not be able to play on some other CD player.
< 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 heatgenerating electrical devices.
If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a CD-R or
CD-RW disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact
the disc manufacturer.

Handling Cassette Tape
CAUTION:
< Do not open a cassette or pull out the tape.
< Do not touch the tape surface.
< Do not use cassette tapes in areas with high temperatures and
humidity.
Storage precautions
< Keep cassette tapes away from magnets or magnetized items
because they may cause noise or erase recorded contents.
< Do not leave cassette tapes in dusty places.
< Do not store cassette tapes in areas with high temperatures and
humidity.
Cassette tapes to avoid
The following cassette tapes may prevent the unit from
performing normal operation or functions. The tape of such
cassette tapes may get caught and causing unexpected
problems.
Cassette tapes with poor form accuracy
Deformed cassettes, or cassettes whose tape does not track
properly, or which generate abnormal noise during fastforwarding or rewinding.
Long-recording tapes
Tapes for recording 90 minutes or longer sometimes get caught
by the capstan because they are extremely thin and stretch easily.
Avoid using them as much as possible.
Tape types
There are several types of cassette tapes.
Metal (Type IV)
Chrome (Type II)
Normal (Type I)
< When playing a normal tape (type I), set the TAPE switch by the
turntable to NORMAL. When playing a chrome tape (type II) or
metal tape (type IV), set the switch to HIGH.
Cleaning and demagnetizing the cassette deck
A dirty head causes poor sound quality or sound skip. Dirt on the
tape tracking roller may catch the tape. Clean the head, pinch
roller, and capstan with a cotton applicator dampened with a
commercially available cleaning solution about every ten hours
of use.
Automatic tape-type
detection holes
Slackening of tapes
Slackened tapes may get caught by the capstan or other parts.
Eliminate slack by using a pencil or alike before use.
When the head is magnetized, it increases noise and hinders the
unit from transmitting high notes. When these problems occur,
demagnetize the head using a commercially available head
eraser.
Capstan
Record/playback head
Do not place a cassette tape in the cassette holder of the unit
until the cleaning solution on the head dries.
