The CD-RW recorder is more sensitive to extremes of temperature than ordinary CD players. < Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 degrees noncondensing. < 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. < Do not place the unit on an 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, and always close the disc tray. < 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. 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 changing the unit's location or packing the unit for moving, be sure to remove the record or disc. Moving this unit with the record or disc loaded may result in damage to this unit. If the unit is to be packed and moved a great distance, it is also advisable to tighten the turntable transport locking screw. See Page 9 for instructions. 4 Handling Records < Do not touch the record's grooves. Only handle records, by the edges or the label, with clean hands. Skin oils from even clean hands can leave a residue on the record surface that will gradually deteriorate the quality of your record. label grooves How to Replace the Stylus The stylus should last about 50 hours under normal use. However, it is recommended that the stylus be replaced as soon as you notice a change in sound quality. Prolonged use of a worn-out stylus may damage the record. Wear and tear on the stylus will be accelerated when playing 78 RPM records. The higher speed of 78 RPM records wears the stylus more quickly. edge < Keep your records away from dust. Keep them in a cool, dry place. < To avoid dust and scratches, keep records in their sleeves and jackets when not in use. < Store records upright on their edges. Records stored horizontally will eventually bend and warp. < Do not expose records to direct sunlight or high humidity and temperature. Long exposure to high temperatures will warp the record. < Do not store your records in the trunk of your car. The temperature in a closed trunk can ruin your collection. Caution: < Do not remove or bend the stylus. < To avoid injury, do not touch the needle. < Turn off the unit's power before you replace the stylus. < Keep out of the reach of children. < Handle with care, as the stylus is delicate. Use of a bent or broken stylus may damage the record and cause the turntable to malfunction. < Do not expose stylus to extreme heat. < Contact a qualified repair company if you experience difficulty in changing the stylus. Removing old stylus 1. Set a screwdriver at the tip of the stylus and push down to the direction "A". 2. Remove the stylus by pulling it forward and down. A < Store records in an area with stable temperature and humidity. < Should the record become dirty, gently wipe the surface in a circular motion, using a soft anti-static cloth. Commercial record cleaning systems are available from many retailers or on-line. TEAC does not endorse any specific product but, depending on the condition of your record collection, it may be advisable to look into one of these systems. Clean records protect your stylus from undue wear. Installing a new stylus 1. Hold the tip of the stylus and insert the other edge by pressing in the direction "B". 2. Push up in the direction "C" until it locks at the tip. C B 5 Discs Please use CD, CD-R and CD-RW discs bearing the "DIGITAL AUDIO" mark. < Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface radially (from the center hole outward towards the outer edge) with a soft, dry cloth: CD CD-R CD-RW < 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. This unit CANNOT RECORD CD-R and CD-RW discs designed for computer systems. In this manual, although we refer to "CD-R" and CD-RW" discs, we always mean "CD-R Digital Audio" and "CD-RW Digital Audio", even when this is not explicitly stated. < CD-R and CD-RW discs designed for computer systems and properly recorded by a computer are playable, but this unit cannot record, finalize nor erase them. < 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. < 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: < Always place the disc on the disc tray with the label side uppermost. (Compact dis ...
