Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 degrees noncondensing. Make sure that the drive unit is mounted in a level position for correct operation. The units should be mounted, using the supplied rack mounting kits. A typical configuration is shown below, but other configurations are possible: NOTE If the disc trays are more than 5 degrees away from the horizontal, they will not open or close. TASCAM CD-302 7 1 · Before you start--Backup memory 1.2.1 Beware of condensation If the player (or a compact 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 player for one or two hours with the power turned on, then turn the power off and on again. · Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the outside of the disc. Small dust particles and light stains will have absolutely no effect on reproduction quality. · Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean compact discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable damage to the disc's plastic surface. · Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid serious scratches that could cause the laser pickup to "skip". · Don't expose discs to direct sunlight or high humidity and temperature for extended periods. Long exposure to high temperature can warp the disc. · Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using noncircular promotional, etc. discs. 1.2.2 Never use a stabilizer The TASCAM CD-302 has a stabilizer disc built into its drive mechanisms. Using commercially available CD stabilizers with this player will damage the mechanisms and cause them to malfunction. NOTE Never use a disc that has had a stabilizer mounted to it. The residual adhesive may cause the disc to stick to the mechanism of the TASCAM CD-302. If it sticks to the mechanism, you will need a technician to get it out. 1.2.3 Handling of discs The unit has been designed specifically for reproduction of discs bearing the mark. No other discs can be reproduced. Observe the following: · Always place the compact discs in the trays with their label facing upward (compact discs can only be played 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. · To keep the laser pickups clean, don't touch them. For the same reason, don't leave the disc trays open unnecessarily. 1.3 Backup memory Each time you turn off the power, the status of the following features are stored into back up memory. · · · · · · · · Playback mode (Continue, Single, Program) Time mode (Elapsed, remain) Preset functions Contents of Program BANKs A through E TEMPO key ((%, 16%, 32%) INDEX (on/off) LOOP (on/off) · Finger marks and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc's recorded surface with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records, the compact disc has no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth should remove most particles. 1.4 Anti-shock memory The CD-302 provides 10 seconds' worth of antishock memory for each deck. 1.5 Instant start The CD-302 will start playing from pause mode immediately when the PLAY key is pressed, due to the antishock memory function. 8 TASCAM CD-302 1 · Before you start--Preset functions 1.6 Preset functions 2, 4 1 1 Press the PRESET key I. 2 Select the name and number of the preset function you want to set, with the JOG dial F or the number keys G. 3 Press the ENTER key L. 4 Set the function value using the JOG dial F. 5 Press the ENTER key L to confirm the entry. 3, 5 The way in which the parameters of the preset functions listed in 1.7, "Preset functions" are set is described here: 1.7 No. Preset functions Display LOOP CUE_P JOG KEY Description and explanation Loop mode (3.4, "Loop play") Cue point (3.3, "Cueing") Jog dial resolution (3.3.3, "Cueing using the JOG dial") Key change mode (4.2, "Key (pitch) control") Default setting A-B PLY 36 + F OFF 0.0 0.0 OFF OFF 01 LOOP 02 CUE/P 03 JOG 04 KEY 05 SAMP/P SAMP_P Sample playback direction (4.3.5, "Playback of sampled data in reverse") 06 SAMP/L SAMP_L 07 SAMP/T SAMP_T Sample playback loop (4.3.8, "Looped playback of sampled data") Sample playback tempo (4.3.6, "Setting the sampled data playback tempo") 08 SAMP/K SAMP_K Sample playback key (4.3.7, "Setting the sampled data playback key") 09 SAMP/R SAMP_R Sample points recalled with memory (4.10.5, "Memory recall (sample points)") 10 VOICE/RVOICE_R Voice Reduce function (4.11, "Voice Reduce function") 11 PROG PROG Program setup and editing (4.12, "Programmed playback") 12 OUTPUT OUTPUT Output level (4.13, "Output level") 13 BRAKE 14 EOM 15 A/CUE BRAKE EOM A_CUE Braking time (4.14, "Brake function") EOM Time (4.15, "Setting the EOM time") Auto Cue (3.3.2, "Auto Cue") Auto Ready (4.16, "Auto Ready") Timer Play (4.17, "Timer Play") NOR 1.6 OFF ­72 OFF OFF 16 A/REDY A_REDY 17 T/PLAY T_PLAY TASCAM CD-302 9 1 · Before you start--Displayed characters No. Display Description and explanation Incremental Play (4.18, "Incremental Play") Relay Play (4.19, "Relay Play") Direct mode (4.20, "Direct mode") Disc Tray auto close (4.21, "Disc Tray Auto Close") Sleep mode (4.22, "Sleep") Factory settings (4.24, "Factory Preset") Clear all memories (4.10.6, "Clearing memories") Default setting OFF OFF OFF ON ON 18 I/PLAY I_PLAY 19 R/PLAY R_PLAY 20 DIRECT DIRECT 21 CLOSE 22 SLEEP 23 F/PRE CLOSE SLEEP F_PRE 24 ALL/CL ALL_CL 1.8 Displayed characters The characters on the CD-302 display are shown as in the table below: A B C D E F G H I J K L A M B N C O D P E Q F R G S H T I U J V K W L X M Y N Z O 0 P 1 Q 2 R 3 S 4 T 5 U 6 V 7 W 8 X 9 Y Z 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 TASCAM CD-302 2 - Front and rear panels 3 1 2 3 4 5 6 4 5 6 TASCAM CD-302 11 2 · Front and rear panels--Main unit (front panel) 2.1 Main unit (front panel) NOTE Since you perform almost all control functions of the CD-302 from the remote control unit, the front panel only contains the following features: This key cannot be used when the Direct mode (see 4.20, "Direct mode") is off and a disc is being played back. 8 TIME key Selects the time display type: ELAPSED, REMAIN or A-B loop duration (in A-B loop play mode). 1 POWER switch and indicator Turns the power on and off.
