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.

Battery Installation

Discs

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

• MP3 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 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.

MP3 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”.

< 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.

How to remove the disc How to hold 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.)

< 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 with direct sunlight and keep your discs away from sources of heat such as radiators or heat-generating 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:

< 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.

< 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.

< 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.

Connection

CAUTION

< Turn off the power of all the equipment before making connections. < Read instructions of each component you intend to use with this unit. < Be sure to insert each plug securely. To prevent hum and noise, do not bundle the connection

cords with the power cord.

Speaker (R) Speaker (L)

Side panel of the main unit

Subwoofer

Connect the “TO SUBWOOFER” and the “FROM MAIN” sockets using the supplied cable.

< Connect the Connectors in the direction as figured.

AM loop antenna

Position the antenna for the best sound. If you want, you can hook the AM antenna on a wall as shown below:

FM antenna

While in FM mode, tune in an FM station and extend the lead to find the best position for reception. This antenna may need to be repositioned if you move your unit to a new location.

FM Outdoor Antenna

In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be necessary to use a 75-ohm unbalanced-type outdoor FM antenna using an optional (not supplied) matching transformer connected to an external antenna. Generally, a 3-element antenna will be sufficient; if you live in an area where the FM signals are particularly weak, it may be necessary to use one with 5 or more elements.

Outdoor FM Antenna (75Ω)

SPEAKERS

Connect the left speaker’s plug to L, and the right speaker’s plug to R.

< If not using the included speakers, make sure the speakers

you use are at least 4 Ω impedance.

< Do not connect anything other than speakers to these

terminals.

AC Power Cord

Be sure to connect the power cord to an AC outlet which supplies the correct voltage.

Hold the power plug when plugging or unplugging the power cord. Never pull or yank on the power cord.

POWER switch of the Subwoofer

Use this switch to turn the system on or off.

< If the power switch of the subwoofer turned off, the

settings kept in memory (clock, preset stations, timer setting) will be erased. To avoid loosing your settings, it is advisable to keep this switch ON when not in use.

AUX IN

You can connect a portable audio player to this jack. Connect the LINE OUT or PHONES jack (audio output jack) of the player using the supplied stereo mini plug cable.

When using the PHONES jack of your mini player, you must adjust the volume of the mini-player or you may hear no sound from your TD-X250i.

The equipment draws a nominal amount of power from the AC outlet even with its POWER switch in the OFF position.

Wall Mounting

You can mount the left and right speakers on a wall.

Precautions

< Be aware that the length of the cables are approximately 3 m.

Do not attempt to mount the speakers too far from the subwoofer.

< Drill holes into solid wall support, such as wooden frame or

concrete wall.

< TEAC supplies these brackets as a convenience to the product

owner. Consult your local building codes and exercise all necessary caution when mounting these brackets. If you are unsure how to use the supplied brackets, consult with a local tradesmen or building supply expert.

To hook on the wall

1. Fix the brackets on the rear panel of the speakers using the supplied short screws.

2. Use the supplied guide sheet to mark the exact drilling points on the wall.

3. Drill holes in the wall at the marked points.

4. Screw the supplied long screws into the wall.

Leave about 5 mm space between the screw’s head and the wall.

< As a convenience, a set of tapered plastic anchors is supplied.

If you chose to use these anchors, drill a pilot hole using a 6 mm drill bit then tap the anchor into the pilot hole. Only use these anchors if they are appropriate for the materials onto which the unit is to be mounted. Consult your local hardware store if you are uncertain.

5.Before going on, connect the speakers and the

subwoofer using the supplied speaker cables (see page 6-7).

6. Carefully hang the speakers onto the screws.

Note:

Ensure that the speaker locks onto the hooks and that the hooks are strong enough to support the weight before removing your hands.
