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. < 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. 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.

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 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. < 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. How to remove the disc How to hold the disc 6 Turntable Cover About CD-R and CD-RW discs CD-R discs can be recorded once only. Once they have been used for recording, they cannot be erased or re-recorded. However, if space is available on the disc (and the disc has not been finalized), additional material can be recorded. By contrast, a CD-RW disc can be used in much the same way as a CD-R disc, but the last track or tracks recorded can be erased, and the space on the disc can be re-used for other recordings. However, you should note that an audio CD created using a CD-RW disc may not play back satisfactorily on every audio CD player. CD-R, by contrast, may be played satisfactorily on the majority of audio CD players. To attach the turntable cover 1. Slide the hinges on both sides of the rear of the turntable into the hinge fittings as far as they will go. 2. Place the turntable cover hinge fittings over the top portion of the hinges and slide the cover down into place. To detach the turntable cover Hold the cover on both sides and gently pull upward to remove it from the hinges. ENGLISH Finalizing Although audio data may be written on a CD-R or CD-RW disc, a standard CD player will not be able to play back the audio until a final table of contents (TOC) has been written at the start of the disc. The process of writing this table of contents is known as "finalizing". Once this has been done, no further data can be written to the disk. Note that a CD-RW disc that has been finalized can be "unfinalized". This allows further tracks to be recorded to the disc, provided that there is space on the disc. < Repeat, shuffle and programmed playback don't work with unfinalized (NO TOC) discs. How to open/close the turntable cover Recordable discs In this manual, we use the term "recordable" disc to describe a CD-R or CD-RW disc that has not been finalized, and has enough space to record. To Open: Lift the turntable cover halfway until it stops. < The cover will now stay open. To Close: Slowly lower the cover until it touches the turntable base. Note: Make sure you grasp the cover by the edges to avoid pinching your fingers as it closes. 7 Connection B C A D RL AUDIO OUT CD Player, Cassette Tape Deck, etc. CAUTION: < Switch off the power to all equipment before making connections. < Read the instructions of each component you intend to use with this unit. < Be sure to insert each plug securely.

When the fade-out has finished, the unit finalizes the disc automatically and stops. < If the disc reaches the end of the 99th track during recording, the unit finalizes the disc automatically and stops. < The recording time of a track may differ slightly from the original one. ENGLISH To delete the last track from the program In the stop mode, press the CLEAR button to delete the last track from the program. To clear the program If one of the following buttons is pressed, the programmed contents will be cleared: OPEN/CLOSE, POWER, FM/AM, PHONO/AUX, STOP in the stop mode Serial Copy Management System This unit is in compliance with the Serial Copy Management System standard. This standard has been established to restrict digital-to-digital copying to only the first generation. The basic rules governing this system are as follows: Rule 1 A digital recording is possible from a digital source such as a CD, DAT or MD onto a recordable CD-R, CD-RW, MD or DAT through a digital input connection. However, further digitalto-digital recording is prohibited for the second and later generations. Rule 2 When an analog source such as an analog disc or FM broadcast is digitally recorded by using a CD-R, CD-RW, MD or DAT, this recorded source can be digitally recorded on another CD-R, CD-RW, MD or DAT. However, further digital copying is prohibited. 21 Recording 13 4 3 Select the mode of track number assignment using the MANUAL/AUTO REC button. 5 2 2 7 When the MANUAL/AUTO REC button is pressed once, the current mode is displayed. Press the MANUAL/AUTO REC button repeatedly to select any other mode. ­ ­ (MANUAL) The unit doesn't divide tracks. Use the TRACK INCREMENT button to divide tracks. MANUAL is recommended for recording an analog source such as a record. Audio from the PHONO or AUX sources can be recorded on the CD recorder. 1 Press the PHONO/AUX button once or twice to select the source to be recorded. ­20db, ­30db or ­40db (AUTO REC) The unit will automatically insert a track division in the recorded material when the sound level has dropped below the threshold for more than 2 seconds, and sound has restarted. To record a record, select PHONO. To record an external source connected to the AUX IN jacks, select AUX. "­20db" takes a louder signal to trigger the track increment. "­40db" means that a relatively quiet signal will trigger the track increment. "­40db" is suitable for recording a noiseless source such as a CD. < AUTO REC may not work properly with analog sources that contain low-level noises. < The AUTO indicator lights when ­20dB, ­30dB or ­40dB is selected. < The default setting is MANUAL (off). When the unit is turned on, the setting is automatically reset to MANUAL (off). < The MANUAL/AUTO REC button doesn't work during recording or in the record pause mode. 4 Press the RECORD button. 2 Load a recordable CD-R or CD-RW disc into the unit. Press the OPEN/CLOSE button (L), place a disc on the disc tray with the printed label side up, and then press the OPEN/CLOSE button (L) to close the disc tray.

But to prevent unwanted noise from the tone arm being recorded, stop the recording manually by using the STOP button. It is possible to divide the recording into tracks while recording. While recording is taking place, press the TRACK INCREMENT button. The current track number will be incremented by one. < The TRACK INCREMENT button works regardless of the MANUAL/AUTO REC setting. < Due to the system restrictions of CD, a track cannot be less than four seconds in length, and there can be a maximum of 99 tracks on an audio CD. 23 Finalize 1 3 4 2 2 This section deals with the actions taken after recording. Once finalized, CD-R discs are truly final. No more tracks can be recorded on them. By contrast, CD-RW discs can be "unfinalized", and if there is space, further material can be recorded on them. 4 Press the ENTER/MEMORY button to start finalizing. Finalizing As has been explained earlier, in order for a disc to become a standard CD, it must have a Table of Contents (TOC) written to it. This process is known as finalizing. "NO TOC" and "REC" indicators blink, and the remaining time for the finalizing operation appears in the display. When the operation has been finished, the NO TOC indicator turns off and the display returns to the track/time display. During finalizing, no button works. Never turn the power off nor unplug the power cord. < Although finalized CD-R discs may be played on ordinary CD players, remember that finalized CD-RW discs may not play on ordinary CD players. 1 Press the CD button to select "CD". 2 Load an unfinalized (recordable) disc. 3 Press the FINALIZE/ERASE button in the stop mode.

Lorsqu'ils ont été utilisés pour un enregistrement, ils ne peuvent plus être effacés ou ré-utilisés pour un autre enregistrement. Cependant, s'il reste de la place sur le disque, il est possible d'enregistrer sur cet espace disponible. Un disque CD-RW s'utilise de la même façon qu'un disque CD-R, à ceci près que la ou les dernière(s) pistes enregistrées peuvent être effacées et l'espace ainsi libéré sur le disque peut être ré-utilisé pour d'autres enregistrements. Il convient toutefois de noter qu'un disque compact audio créé à partir d'un disque CD-RW risque de ne pas fonctionner correctement sur tous les lecteurs de disques compacts audio. Par contre, un CD-R fonctionnera correctement sur la majorité des lecteurs de disques compacts. Pour mettre en place le couvercle de la platine 1.
