Before Using the Unit

Discs

Read this before operation

< As the unit may become warm during operation, always leave

sufficient space around the unit for ventilation. The ventilation holes should not be covered. Make sure there is at least 5 cm of space on each side of the unit. Do NOT place anything on top of the unit.

< 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. Avoid locations subject to vibrations and excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture.

< Do not place the unit on any other electronic components.

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

circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object should fall into the unit, contact your dealer or service company as soon as possible.

< When removing the power plug from a wall outlet, always

pull directly on the plug. Do not pull on the line cord.

< To keep the laser pickup clean, do not touch it and always

close the CD door after each use.

< Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as

this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry, lint-free cloth.

CAUTION: DO NOT MOVE THE UNIT DURING PLAYBACK

During playback, the disc rotates at high speeds. Do NOT lift or move the unit during playback. Doing so may damage the disc or the unit.

WHEN MOVING THIS UNIT

When changing places of installation or packing the unit for moving, be sure to remove the disc. Moving this unit with the disc loaded may result in malfunction or other damage.

Discs which can be played on this unit:

• Conventional audio CDs bearing the COMPACT DIS C DIGITAL AUDIO logo on the label:

• Properly finalized CD-R and CD-RW discs

• MP3 CDs

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.

< 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 with direct sunlight and keep your discs away from sources of heat such as radiators or heat-generating electrical devices.

< Printable discs aren’t recommended because the label side

might be sticky (or contain glue), which will 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 information on

the label side of a disc. Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as this may cause damage to the recorded side of the disc.

< 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 any

disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly.

ENGLISH

< Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

How to remove the disc How to hold the disc

< Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface from the

center hole outward towards the outer edge with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth:

< Never use chemicals such as record (LP) sprays, antistatic

sprays or fluids, 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 each use to avoid

dust and scratches that may eventually cause your disc to skip.

< Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, or high

temperatures for extended periods. Long exposure to high temperatures will warp the disc.

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 50 folders are recorded on the

disc, the unit might not be able to play it correctly.

< The file must be mono or stereo MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3

format, 44.1 or 48-kHz, fixed bit-rate.

< Do not play any disc that is warped, scratched, deformed or

damaged. Playing such discs may cause irreparable harm to

range, remote control operation may be impossible if there are any obstacles between the unit and the remote control.

< If the remote control unit is operated near other products

which generate infrared rays, or if other remote control devices using infrared rays are used near the unit, it may operate incorrectly. Conversely, the other products may also operate incorrectly.

Battery Installation

< As a convenience, a set of tapered plastic anchors is supplied.

If you chose to use these anchors, drill a pilot hole using a 6 mm drill bit then tap the anchor into the pilot hole. Only use these anchors if they are appropriate for the materials onto which the unit is to be mounted. Consult your local hardware store if you are uncertain.

5. B e f o r e goin g on, connect the speakers and the

subwoofer using the supplied speaker cables (see page 6-7).

6. Carefully hang the speakers onto the screws.

Remove the battery compartment cover.

Put in the lithium battery (CR2032, 3V).

Close the cover.

Battery Replacement

If the distance required between the remote control unit and main unit decreases, the battery is exhausted. In this case, replace the battery with a new one.

Note:

Ensure that the speaker locks onto the hooks and that the hooks are strong enough to support the weight before removing your hands.

Precautions concerning batteries

The Radio Data System (RDS) is a broadcasting service which allows stations to send additional information along with the regular radio programme signal.

RDS works on the FM waveband in Europe only.

The Programme Service name (station’s name) appears on the display.

Press the RDS button.

Each time the RDS button is pressed, the RDS mode is changed as follows:

When you select PS, the frequency will be displayed for 3 seconds, and then PS (station’s name) will be displayed. If there is no PS data, “NO PS” will be displayed.

PTY (Programme Type)

When you select PTY, the programme type will be displayed. If there is no PTY data, “NO PTY” will be displayed.

RT (Radio Text)

When you select RT, the news of stations composed of up to 64 symbols will be displayed. If there is no RT data, “NO RT” will be displayed.

RDS Clock Time (CT)

The clock setting will be automatically adjusted according to the CT data. If you tune in an RDS station broadcasting incorrect CT data, the clock might be wrongly adjusted, and that may eventually affect the timer operation.
