Do not use thinner, benzine or alcohol as they may damage the surface of the 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 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 unit for one or two hours with the power turned on. The unit will stabilize at the temperature of its surroundings. CAUTION The product shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no object filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the product. Do not install this equipment in a confined space such as a book case or similar unit. 3 Compact Disc Discs which can be played on this unit: · Conventional audio CDs bearing the CD-DA logo on the label: < 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 which is 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. How to remove the disc How to hold the disc < Do not use irregular shape CDs (octagonal, heart shaped, business card size, etc.). CDs of this sort can damage the unit: · Properly finalized CD-R and CD-RW discs 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 which 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 uppermost. (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. < 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. 4 MP3 and WMA < This unit can play MP3 and WMA files recorded on a CD-R, CD-RW or USB storage device. < File names of MP3 or WMA should be alphanumeric characters. This unit cannot display symbols and full-size or double-byte characters (such as Japanese, Chinese, etc.) correctly. Also, be sure to use the file extension. (`.mp3' for MP3 files, `.wma' for WMA files.) < MP3 files are mono or stereo MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 format. This unit can play MP3 files with sampling frequency 44.1 kHz or 48 kHz, bit-rate320 kbps or less. < This unit can play WMA files with sampling frequency 44.1 kHz, bit-rate 192 kbps or less. WMA means Windows Media Audio. < Audio encoded at 128 Kbps should sound close to regular audio CD quality. Although this player will play lower bit-rate MP3 tracks, the sound quality becomes noticeably worse at lower bit-rates. How to Reset the Settings to the Factory Defaults If the power supply is interrupted for 14 days or longer, all the settings kept in memory (such as preset stations and timer settings) will be erased. It will take more than 3 days after plugging the power cord into the outlet to charge enough electricity for the memory backup function. If you want to manually initialize the settings, hold down the FUNCTION/FM MODE button for more than 4 seconds in stanby mode. Discs < The disc must be finalized in order to play. < The CD-ROM must be ISO 9660 compatible. < When more than 255 files are recorded on the disc, the unit might not be able to play it correctly. The unit will be turned on, and all the settings are reset to the default settings. USB < This unit supports USB 1.1 FULL SPEED (12Mbps). < This unit can play MP3 files recorded in various external USB storage devices such as USB flash memory, MP3 player or HDD. The HDD must be formatted FAT 16 or FAT 32, but not NTFS. < When more than 2000 files are recorded on the USB memory, the unit might not be able to play it correctly. 5 Connections A Speaker Connections Caution: < To avoid damaging the speakers by a sudden high-level signal, be sure to switch the power off before connecting the speakers. < Check the impedance of your speakers. Connect speaker with an impedance of 6 ohms or more. < The amplifier's red speaker terminals are the + (positive) terminals and the black terminals are the _ (negative) terminals. The + side of the speaker cable is marked to make it distinguishable from the negative side of the cable. Connect this marked side to the red + terminal and the unmarked side to the black _ terminal. < Prepare the speaker cords for connection by stripping off approximately 10 mm or less (no more as this could cause a short-circuit) of the outer insulation. Twist the wires tightly together to avoid tangles: A B SPEAKER LINE IN SUBWOOFER How to connect 1. Turn the terminal cap counterclockwise to loosen it. The speaker terminal caps cannot be fully removed from the base. 2. Insert the wire into the terminal fully and turn the terminal cap clockwise to securely connect it: 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 or speaker cord. 3. Make sure it is fastened firm by pulling the cable lightly. B SUBWOOFER OUT jack Connect a commercially available powered subwoofer. < Subwoofer output will not be cut off, when the headphone jack is inserted. 6 VCR, DVD, etc. LINE OUT RL MD, CD-R, etc. DIGITAL IN LINE LINE (OPTICAL) OUT IN LR LR Cassette Deck LINE LINE OUT IN LR LR E C D C TAPE/AUX jacks Make sure to connect: white plug q white jack (L: left channel) red plug q red jack (R: right channel) < Be sure to insert each plug securely.

Be careful that you do not force the plug, because this could result in damage to the protective shutter, the cable, or the unit itself. 7 Connecting Antennas (AM/FM) AM Indoor Loop Antenna The high-performance AM loop antenna provided with this unit is sufficient for good reception in most areas. To stand the loop antenna on a surface, fix the claw to the slot in the antenna base. FM Indoor Antenna Connect the lead-type FM antenna to the FM 75 socket, extend the lead and tune the tuner to your favorite station (see page 25). Adjust the antenna in a suitable location like a window frame or wall until the reception is best and then affix the antenna in that position using thumb tacks, push pins or any other suitable means. Connect the loop antenna's wires to the AM antenna terminals. Place the antenna on a shelf or hang it on a window frame, etc., in the direction which gives the best reception. Keep all other wires such as power cords, speaker wires or interconnect wires as far away as possible from the antenna. AM Outdoor Antenna FM Outdoor Antenna In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be necessary to use an outdoor FM 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. Make sure to connect the black wire to the GND terminal. < Disconnect the FM indoor antenna when using an outdoor antenna. < If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver sufficient reception (often due to being too far from the transmitter or in a concrete building, etc.), it may be necessary to use an outdoor AM antenna. Use either a high quality commercial AM antenna or, if not available, an insulated wire more than 5 m long, strip one end, and connect this to the terminal as shown. The antenna wire should be strung outdoors or indoors near a window. For better reception, connect the GND terminal to a reliable ground. Note: Even when using an outdoor AM antenna, do not disconnect the AM loop antenna. 8 Remote Control Unit 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 appliances 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 appliances may operate incorrectly. Precautions concerning batteries < Be sure to insert the batteries with correct positive `+' and negative `_' polarities. < Use batteries of the same type. Never use different types of batteries together. < Rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries can be used. Refer to the precautions on their labels. < When the remote control unit is not to be used for a long time (more than a month), remove the batteries from the remote control unit to prevent them from leaking. If they leak, wipe away the liquid inside the battery compartment and replace the batteries with new ones. < Do not heat or disassemble batteries and never dispose of old batteries by throwing them in a fire. Battery Installation 1. Remove the battery compartment cover. 2. Insert two `AAA' dry batteries. Make sure that the batteries are inserted with their positive `+' and negative `_' poles positioned correctly. 3. Close the cover.
