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 of the supplied subwoofer. 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 inside the unit, 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 CD door.
<
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 laser assembly.
WHEN MOVING THIS UNIT
When relocating or packing the unit for moving, be sure to
remove the disc. Moving this unit with the disc loaded may
result in damage to this unit.
3
Discs
<
Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or
fluid, benzene 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 that can be played on this unit:
· Commercial audio CD's bearing the "Compact Disc Digital
Audio" logo:
?
· 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 load the disc with the label side facing you. (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. Never clean the disc using a circular motion.
<
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.

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.
FM antenna
While in FM mode, tune in an FM station and extend the
lead to find the best position for reception. This antenna
may need to be repositioned if you move your unit to a new
location.
B
Outdoor FM Antenna (75)
FM Outdoor Antenna
In an area where FM signals are weak, it will be necessary to
use a 75-ohm unbalanced-type outdoor FM antenna using
an optional (not supplied) matching transformer connected
to an external 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.

speakers too far from the subwoofer.
<
Drill holes into solid wall support, such as wooden frame or
concrete wall.
<
TEAC supplies these brackets as a convenience to the product
owner. Consult your local building codes and exercise all
necessary caution when mounting these brackets. If you are
unsure how to use the supplied brackets, consult with a local
tradesmen or building supply expert.
To hook on the wall
Use the supplied template to determine drilling points.
Secure the brackets on the wall using the supplied screws.

If you chose to use these anchors, drill a pilot hole using
either a 1/4" or 6mm drill bit then tap the anchor into the
pilot hole.
Only use these anchors if they are appropriate for the
materials onto which the unit is to be mounted. Consult your
local hardware store if you are uncertain.
