Reserved jack

Discs

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

MP3/WMA 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 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.)

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

MP3 and WMA Remote Control Unit

This unit can play MP3 and WMA files recorded on a CD-R, CD-

RW, and MP3 files on a 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-rate 320 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.

Disc

The disc must be finalized in order to play.

The provided Remote Control Unit allows the unit to be operated from a distance. When operating the remote control unit, point it towards the remote sensor on the front panel of the unit.

Even if the remote control unit is operated within the effective

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

Troubleshooting

If you have problems with your system, look through this chart and see if you can solve the problem yourself before calling your dealer or TEAC service center.

General

No power

Check the connection to the AC power supply. Check and make sure the AC source is not a switched outlet and that, if it is, the switch is turned on. Make sure there is power to the AC outlet by plugging another item such as a lamp or fan into the outlet.

No sound from speakers.

Select the source by pressing the FUNCTION button.

Check the connection to the speakers.

Adjust the volume.

Pull out the headphone’s plug from the PHONES jack.

If “Muting” is blinking, press the MUTING button.

The sound is noisy.

The unit is too close to a TV or similar appliances. Install the unit apart from them, or turn them off.

Remote control does not work.

Press the STANDBY/ON switch to turn the unit on.

When the battery has run out, put in a new one.

Use remote control unit within the range (5 m) and point at the front panel.

Clear obstacles between the remote control unit and the main unit. If a strong light is near the unit, turn it off.

CD Player

Will not play.

Load a disc with the playback side facing away.

If the disc is dirty, clean the surface of the disc.

A blank disc has been loaded. Load a prerecorded disc.

Depending on the disc, etc. it may not be possible to play back CD-R/RW discs. Try again with another disc.

You cannot play back unfinalized CD-R/RW discs. Finalize such a disc in a CD recorder and try again.

Radio

Cannot listen to any station, or signal is too weak.

Tune in the station properly.

Rotate the FM or AM antenna for the best reception position.

Though the FM broadcast is stereo, it sounds monaural.

Switch the FM mode to STEREO using the FM MODE button.

If normal operation cannot be recovered, unplug the power cord from the outlet and plug it again.

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 erratic or 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.

Maintenance

If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe with a soft cloth or use diluted mild liquid soap. Never spray liquid directly on this unit. Apply your cleaner to your cleaning cloth and wipe gently. Be sure to remove any excess completely. Do not use thinner, benzene or alcohol as they may damage the surface of the unit. Allow the surface of the unit to dry completely before using.

Sound skips.

Place the unit on a stable place to avoid vibration and shock.

If the disc is dirty, clean the surface of the disc.

Do not use scratched, damaged or warped discs.
