ENGLISH

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.

< 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.

< 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 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/CD-RW disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or
contact the disc manufacturer directly.

Discs which can be played on this unit:

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

?

• Properly finalized CD-R and CD-RW discs

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.

Discs

< 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.

Precautions concerning batteries

< Be sure to insert the batteries with correct positive ‘+’ and

negative ‘

_’ polarities.

< Use batteries of the same type. Never use different types of

batteries together.

< Rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries can be used.

Refer to the precautions on their labels.

< When the remote control unit is not to be used for a long

time (more than a month), remove the batteries from the
remote control unit to prevent them from leaking. If they
leak, wipe away the liquid inside the battery compartment
and replace the batteries with new ones.

< Do not heat or disassemble batteries and never dispose of old

batteries by throwing them in a fire.

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 appliances

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 appliances may
operate incorrectly.

Battery Installation

1. Remove the battery compartment cover.

2. Insert two ‘AA’ dry batteries. Make sure that the batteries are
inserted with their positive ‘+’ and negative ‘_’ poles
positioned correctly.

3. Close the cover.

Battery Replacement

If the distance required between the remote control unit and
main unit decreases, the batteries are exhausted. In this case
replace the batteries with new ones.
