Before Using the Unit
Remote Control Unit
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.
< Do not open the cabinet as this might result in damage to the
circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object should fall into the
unit, contact your dealer or service company as soon as possible.
< When removing the power plug from a wall outlet, always pull
directly on the plug. Do not pull on the line cord.
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.
Battery Installation
1
< To keep the laser pickup clean, do not touch it and always close
the CD door after each use.
< Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as this
might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry, lint-free cloth.
< Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.
CAUTION: DO NOT MOVE THE UNIT DURING PLAYBACK

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.
< 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 us e irregular shape CDs (octagonal, he art 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.
< Do not expose discs to direct sunlight, high humidity, or high
temperatures for extended periods. Long exposure to high
temperatures will warp the disc.
< 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.
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.
< Do not play any disc that is warped, scratched, deformed or
damaged. Playing such discs may cause irreparable harm to the
playback mechanism.

Position the antenna for the best sound.
If you want, you can hook the AM antenna on a wall as shown
below:
FM antenna
B
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)
AC Power Cord
E
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
F
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.
PHONES

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
owne r. Consu lt your local bu ilding codes and exercis e 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 th e 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.
