symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to
the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s
enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert
the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
Model for USA
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
CAUTION
Changes or modifications to this equipment not
expressly approved by TEAC CORPORATION for
compliance will void the user’s warranty.
This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there
is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the equipment and/or the
receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equip-
ment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a
circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.
Model for Canada
Industry Canada’s Compliance Statement:
This Class B digital apparatus complies with
Canadian ICES-003.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme
à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug
has two blades with one wider than the other. A
grounding type plug has two blades and a third
grounding prong. The wide blade or the third
prong are provided for your safety. If the provided
plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on
or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by
the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with
the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution
when moving the cart/apparatus combination to
avoid injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or
when unused for long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has
been damaged in any way, such as power-supply
cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled
or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture,
does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
o The apparatus draws nominal non-operating
power from the AC outlet with its POWER or
STANDBY/ON switch not in the ON position.
o The mains plug is used as the disconnect device,
the disconnect device shall remain readily
operable.
o Caution should be taken when using earphones
or headphones with the product because excessive sound pressure (volume) from earphones or
headphones can cause hearing loss.
CAUTION
o Do not expose this apparatus to drips or
splashes.
o Do not place any objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, on the apparatus.
o Do not install this apparatus in a confined
space such as a book case or similar unit.
o The apparatus should be located close
enough to the AC outlet so that you can easily reach the power cord plug at any time.
o If the product uses batteries (including a bat-
tery pack or installed batteries), they should
not be exposed to sunshine, fire or excessive
heat.
o CAUTION for products that use replaceable
lithium batteries: there is danger of explosion
if a battery is replaced with an incorrect type
of battery. Replace only with the same or
equivalent type.
WARNING
Products with Class ! construction are equipped
with a power supply cord that has a grounding plug. The cord of such a product must be
plugged into an AC outlet that has a protective
grounding connection.

CAUTION
Placement of the unit
o Avoid placing it in high temperature environ-
ments such as in direct sunlight or close to a
source of heat. Moreover, do not place the unit
on an amplifier or any other device that generates heat. Doing so could cause discoloration,
deformation or malfunction.
V
Placement precautions
o Do not put anything on top of the unit.
o Avoid placing the unit in direct sunlight or close
to any source of heat, such as a radiator, heater,
open fireplace or amplifier. Moreover, avoid locations that are subject to vibrations or exposed to
excessive dust, cold or moisture.
o Place the unit in a stable location near the audio
system that you will use with it.
o Do not move the unit during use.
o The voltage supplied to the unit should match
the voltage printed on the rear panel. If you are in
any doubt regarding this matter, consult an
electrician.
o Since the unit could become warm during opera-
tion, always leave sufficient space around it for
ventilation. When placing this unit, position it so
that it is at least 5 cm (2") from walls and other
devices in order to allow good heat dissipation.
When installing it in a rack, leave at least 5 cm (2")
open above the unit and 10 cm (4") open behind
it.
o Do not open the body of the unit because this
could result in damage to the circuitry or cause
electric shock. If a foreign object should enter the
unit, contact your dealer.
o When removing the power plug from the wall
outlet, always pull directly on the plug; never
yank on the cord.
o If a TV is turned on while the unit is on, static
might appear on the TV screen depending on the
characteristics of the TV broadcast signal. This is
neither a malfunction of the unit nor of the TV. If
this occurs, put the unit in standby.
Maintenance
If the surface of the unit becomes dirty, wipe it with a
soft cloth or use diluted mild liquid soap. Do not use
thinner or alcohol because they could damage the
surface of the unit.
V
For safety, disconnect the power cord from
the outlet before cleaning.

(as of March, 2014)
o This unit will run with the standard Mac OS driver,
so there is no need to install a special driver.
When using Windows OS
Installing the driver on the computer
In order to play audio files stored on a Windows computer through this unit, you must install a dedicated
driver on that computer beforehand. Download the
dedicated driver from the TEAC Global Site:
http://teac-global.com/
This unit can be used with the following Windows
operating systems.
