Before Use

Read this before operation

<As the unit might become warm during operation, always leave sufficient space around the unit for ventilation.

<The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage that is printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this matter, consult an electrician.

<Choose the location for placement of the unit carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also avoid locations that are subject to vibrations or excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture.

<Do not place the unit on an amplifier/receiver.

<Do not open the cabinet as this could result in damage to the circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object should get into the unit, contact your dealer or service agency.

<When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull directly on the plug, never yank the cord.

<To keep the laser pickup clean, do not touch it, and always close the disc tray when not using the CD player.

<Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.

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

DO NOT MOVE THE UNIT DURING PLAYBACK

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

WHEN MOVING THIS UNIT

When changing the location of placement or packing the unit for transportation, be sure to remove the disc and close the disc compartment cover. Then, press the power switch to turn the power off, and disconnect the power cord. Moving this unit with a disc loaded could result in damage to this unit.

Maintenance

If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe with a soft cloth or use diluted neutral cleaning liquid. Be sure to remove any fluid completely. Do not use thinner, benzene or alcohol as they could damage the surface of the unit.

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. Vapour in the air could condense on the internal mechanism, making correct operation 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.

Discs

Discs that can be played on this unit

<Commercial audio CD’s bearing the “Compact Disc Digital Audio” logo

<Properly finalized CD-R/CD-RW discs

Note:

<Depending on the quality of the disc and/or the condition of the recording, some CD-R discs might not be playable.

<Copy-protected discs and other discs that do not conform to the CD standard might 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 nonstandard discs, you should contact the producers of the disc.

<Always load the disc with the label side up. (Only one side of Compact Discs can be played and recorded.)

<To remove a disc from its storage case, press down on the centre of the case and lift the disc out, holding it carefully by the edges.

How to remove a disc

How to hold a disc

<Should a disc become dirty, wipe the surface radially with a soft, dry cloth. Never clean a disc using a circular motion.

<Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or fluids, benzene 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 a disc.

<CD-R/CD-RW discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat and ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is important that they are stored in a location where direct sunlight does not shine on them and that is away from heat sources such as radiators and heat-generating electrical devices.

<Printable CD-R/CD-RW discs are not recommended because the label side might be sticky and could 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 when writing on the label side. Never use a ballpoint or hard-tipped pen, because this could damage 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 CDs (octagonal, heartshaped, etc.). They could 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.
