Discs
Discs which can be played on this unit:
M Conventional audio CDs bearing the COMPACT DISC
DIGITAL AUDIO logo on the label.
M Properly finalized CD-R and CD-RW discs
M MP3 CDs
Note:
< 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.
< 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 the disc becomes dirty, wipe the surface radially
from the center hole outward towards the outer edge
with a soft and dry cloth.
< 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.
< 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 which is
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 irregular shape CDs (octagonal, heart
shaped, business card size, etc.). CDs of this sort can
damage the unit.
< If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of
a CDR/CD-RW disc, read the precautions supplied with
the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly.

FM Indoor Antenna
Connect the lead-type FM antenna to the FM 75Ω socket,
extend the lead and tune in your favourite station (see
page 30). Adjust the antenna in a suitable location like a
window frame or wall until the reception is best and then
affix the antenna in that position using thumb tacks, push
pins or any other suitable means.
FM Outdoor Antenna
In an area where FM signals are weak, it may be necessary
to use an FM outdoor 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.
< Disconnect the FM indoor antenna when using an
outdoor antenna.
AM Indoor Loop Antenna
The high-performance AM loop antenna provided with
this unit is sufficient for good reception in most areas.
To stand the loop antenna on a surface, fix the claw to the
slot in the antenna base.
Connect the loop antenna’s wires to the AM antenna
terminals.
Place the antenna on a shelf or hang it on a window
frame, etc., in the direction which gives the best
reception. Keep all other wires such as power cords,
speaker wires or interconnect wires as far away as possible
from the antenna.
< If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver
sufficient reception (often due to being too far from
the transmitter or in a concrete building, etc.), it may
be necessary to use an AM outdoor antenna.
Use either a high quality commercially available AM
antenna or, if not available, an insulated wire more
than 5 m long. Strip one end, and connect this to the
terminal as shown.
The antenna wire should be fitted outdoors or indoors
near a window. For better reception, connect the GND
terminal to a reliable ground.
Note:
Even when using an AM outdoor antenna, do not
disconnect the AM loop antenna.
