Before Using the Unit

Read this before attempting any operations.

< As the unit may become warm during operation,

always leave sufficient space around the unit for ventilation.

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

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

< Do not open the cabinet as this might result in

damage to the circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object should get into the unit, contact your dealer or service company.

< When removing the power plug from the wall

outlet, always pull directly on the plug, never yank the cord.

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, benzine or alcohol as they may 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; vapor 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.

ENGLISH

< 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 may damage the disc.

WHEN MOVING THIS UNIT

When changing places of installation or packing the unit for moving, be sure to remove the disc and return the disc table to its original position in the player. Then, press the power switch to turn the power off, and disconnect the power cord. Moving this unit with the disc loaded may result in damage to this unit.

Disposal of your old appliance

1.When this crossed-out wheeled bin symbol is attached to a product it means the product is covered by the European Directive 2002/96/EC.

2. All electrical and electronic products should be disposed of separately from the municipal waste stream via designated collection facilities appointed by the government or the local authorities.

3. The correct disposal of your old appliance will help prevent potential negative consequences for the environment and human health.

4. For more detailed information about disposal of your old appliance, please contact your city office, waste disposal service or the shop where you purchased the product.

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 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 load the disc 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.

< Never use such chemicals as record sprays,

antistatic sprays or fluid, 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 the 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 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/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.

How to remove the disc How to hold the disc

< Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface

radially with a soft, dry cloth. Never clean the disc using a circular motion.

< 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-

shape, 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.

MP3 compatibility

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

CD-RW or USB memory card.

< 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.

Emergency Switch

< When more than 200 files or folders are recorded

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

< Mono or stereo MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 format, 44.1

or 48 kHz, fixed bit-rate.

< 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.

If the disc cannot be ejected, remove the disc by following procedure.

1 In the standby mode, push the emergency switch

(white switch in the hole) on the bottom of the unit. The disc comes out.

2 Remove the disc.

3 Turn on the unit and insert the disc again.

< If “EJECT ERROR” is displayed, unplug the power

cord from the outlet and plug it again.

< If you remove the disc while the unit is turned on,

the mechanism is still stuck. In this case, press the eject button (L) once to recover the unit.

< The emergency switch does not work when the

unit is disconnected from the AC outlet.
