1 – Introduction
About compact discs
Slot loading of discs
In addition to commercially-available music CDs, this unit can
play CD-R and CD-RW discs recorded in the audio CD (CD-DA)
format as well as CD-R and CD-RW discs that contain MP3 and
WAV audio files.
CAUTION
8cm CDs cannot be used. If an 8cm CD is inserted, it will automatically be ejected. During ejection, if it stops at a place
where it cannot be removed, press and hold the EJECT button.
1. As shown in the illustration, hold the disc with the labeled
side up and insert it part way into the slot.
2. Push the disc in further until just before it disappears. It will
automatically be drawn in to the slot.
Precautions for use
00Always insert discs with the label facing upward.
00To remove a disc from its case, press down on the center of
the disc holder, then lift the disc out, holding it carefully by
the edges.
00Do not touch the signal side (the unlabeled side). Fingerprints, oils and other substances can cause errors during playback.
00If fingerprints or dust adhere to the signal recording side of
a disc, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth from the center towards the outside edge.
00Dirt on discs can lower the sound quality, so clean them and
always store them in a clean state.
00Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions, benzene,
paint thinner or other chemical agents to clean CDs as they
could damage the delicate playing surface. It may cause CDs
to become unplayable.
00Do not apply labels or other materials to discs. Do not use
discs that have had tape, stickers or other materials applied
to their surface. Do not use discs that have sticky residue
from stickers, etc. Such discs could become stuck in the unit
or cause it to malfunction.
00Never use a commercially available CD stabilizer.
00Using stabilizers with this player will damage the mechanism
and cause it to malfunction.
00Do not use cracked discs.
00Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non-circular promotional, etc. discs.
If a disc will not load properly
If a disc becomes stuck during insertion, for example, and is difficult to push, do not try to force the disc in. Pull the disc out once,
press the EJECT button, and then try inserting it again. (Trying
to force the disc in could damage the unit.)
SD cards and USB flash drives
This unit uses SD cards and USB flash drives for recording and
playback.

for use with this unit can be found on our web site. Please access
to a product page of this product from the TEAC Global Site
(http://teac-global.com) to find the list or contact the TASCAM
customer support service.
Precautions for use
SD cards and USB flash drives are delicate media.
In order to avoid damaging SD cards and USB flash drives, please
take the following precautions when handling them.
00Do not leave them in extremely hot or cold places.
00Do not leave them in extremely humid places.
00Do not let them get wet.
00Do not put things on top of them or twist them.
00Do not hit them.
00Do not remove or insert them during recording, playback,
data transmission or other access.
00When transporting them, put them into cases, for example.
SD card write protection
00Copy Control CDs have been sold by several record companies in an attempt to protect their copyrights. Since some of
these discs do not comply with the CD specifications, they
may not be playable on the unit.
10 TASCAM

4 – CD/SD/USB playback
This chapter explains playback functions for audio files stored on
CDs, SD cards and USB flash drives.
This explanation assumes that you have already loaded a CD, SD
card or USB flash drive that contains audio files into the unit, that
the unit is on, and that the current source is set appropriately.
(see “Selecting the playback source.” on page 22)
Tracks and folders on SD cards and
USB flash drives
This unit can play back files in the following formats.
This unit handles audio files on SD cards and USB flash drives as
“tracks”.
Some data CDs store files in folders in the same way that ordinary computer files are handled. Some also store multiple folders within a single folder, creating a multi-level structure.
This unit assigns track numbers to audio files for management.
Track numbers are assigned in the following order.
Audio CDs
1. Playable files in each folder are sorted in Unicode order.
Files that can be played back
Commercially-available music CDs as well as CD-R and CD-RW
discs that have been created in the audio CD format
Folders, including empty folders and folders that do not
contain playable files, are sorted in Unicode order.
