This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
· Reorient or relocate the equipment and/or the receiving
antenna.
· Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
· Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
· Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
CAUTION
Changes or modifications to this equipments not expressly
approved by TEAC CORPORATION for compliance will void the
user's warranty.

moving
the
cart/apparatus combination to avoid
injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing
is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any
way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid
has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus,
the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does
not operate normally, or has been dropped.
< Do not expose this apparatus to dripps or splashes.

Contents
Thank you for choosing TEAC. Read this manual carefully to get
the best performance from this unit.
Before Use
Read this before operation
< 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 or any other
electronic device that generates heat.
< Do not open the sealed cabinet as this might result in damage
to the circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object should
get into the set, contact your dealer or service agency.
< 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 record.
WHEN MOVING THIS UNIT
When changing places of installation or packing the unit for
moving, be sure to remove the disc and the record. Moving
this unit with the disc or the record loaded may result in
damage to this unit. If the unit is to be packed and moved a
large distance, it is also advisable to tighten the turntable
transport locking screw. See page 12 for instructions.
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 erratic or
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.
Maintenance
Always keep the turntable clean.
If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe with a soft cloth or
use diluted mild liquid soap. Be sure to remove any excess
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
Do not expose this unit to liquids of any kind. Keep any objects
containing liquids such as vases, water glasses, potted plants,
et cetera off the top of this unit.
Do not install this equipment in a confined space such as a
book-case or similar unit.

ENGLISH
Discs
< 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.
< CD-R 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 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 irregular shape CDs (octagonal, heart-shape, etc.).
CDs of this sort can damage the unit.
Discs which can be played on this unit:
· Conventional audio CDs bearing the CD-DA logo on the
label:
?
· Properly finalized CD-R discs
Note:
< Depending on the quality of the disc and/or the condition of the
recording, some CD-R discs may not be playable.
< CD-RW discs cannot be played on this unit.
< 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.
How to remove the disc
How to hold the disc
< Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface radially with a
soft, dry cloth.
< If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a CD-R
disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact
the disc manufacturer directly.
