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.

Discs
Discs which can be played on this unit:
This unit can not play 8cm discs.
Conventional audio CDs bearing the COMPACT DISC DIGITAL
AUDIO logo on the label:
Properly finalized CD-R and CD-RW discs
MP3 files in the CD-R or CD-RW disc.
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.)
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 heatgenerating 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:
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 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.
^^^^^^
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.
Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, or high
temperatures for extended periods. Long exposure to high
temperatures will warp the disc.
Do not play any disc that is warped, scratched, deformed or
damaged. Playing such discs may cause irreparable harm to
the playback mechanism.
Remote Control UnitMP3 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” for MP3 files.
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.
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.
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.
