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.

not

place

the

unit

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.

To keep the laser pickup clean, do not

touch it. Always close the disc

compartment lid when not in use.

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.

Before Using the Unit

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 or the unit.

WHEN MOVING THIS UNIT

When moving or packing the unit, be

sure to remove the disc. Moving this unit

with the disc loaded may result in

damage to this 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 the

danger of condensation; vapor in the air

could

condense

the

internal

mechanism, making correct operation

erratic or impossible. To prevent this, or if

this occurs, leave the unit turned on for

one or two hours. The unit will stabilize

at the temperature of its surroundings.

Maintenance

If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe

with a soft cloth or use a diluted mild

liquid soap. Be sure to remove any excess

liquid completely. Do not use thinner,

benzine or alcohol as they may damage

the surface of the unit. Allow the surface

of the unit to dry completely before

using.

CAUTION

Ensure this product is not exposed to

dripping or splashing and that no object

filled with liquids, such as vases, is placed

on the product.

Do not install this equipment in a

confined space such as a book case or

similar unit. Allow adequate air circulation

around this product.

ENGLISH

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.

This player cannot play Windows Media-

formatted audio files.

(Windows Media is a trademark of

Microsoft Corporation.)

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.

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.

Should the disc become dirty, wipe the

surface radially (from the center hole

outward towards the outer edge) with a

soft, dry cloth:

Never use such chemicals as record

sprays, antistatic sprays or fluid, 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 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.

Do not play any disc that is warped,

deformed or damaged.

Playing such discs may cause irreparable

harm to the playing mechanisms.

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 where direct sunlight will fall on

them, and away from sources of heat

such as radiators or heat-generating

electrical devices.

Printable CD-R and 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.

Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially

available CD stabilizers with this unit will

damage the mechanisms and cause them

to malfunction.

Do not use CDs with an irregular shape

(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 a CD-R/CD-RW disc, read the

precautions supplied with the disc, or

contact the disc manufacturer directly.
