Cautions about Batteries
This product uses batteries. Misuse of batteries could
cause a leak, rupture or other trouble. Always abide by the
following precautions when using batteries.
Never recharge non-rechargeable batteries. The batter-
•
ies could rupture or leak, causing fire or injury.
When installing batteries, pay attention to the
•
polarity
indications (plus/minus (+/–) orientation), and install
them correctly in the battery compartment as indicated.
Putting them in backward could make the batteries
rupture or leak, causing fire, injury or stains around
them.
When throwing used batteries away, follow the disposal
•
instructions indicated on the batteries and the local
disposal laws. When you store or dispose batteries, isorate
their terminals with insulation tape or something like that
to prevent them from contacting other batteries or metalic
objects.
Do not use batteries other than those specified. Do not
•
mix and use new and old batteries or different types of
batteries together. The batteries could rupture or leak,
causing fire, injury or stains around them.
Do not carry or store batteries together with small metal
•
objects. The batteries could short, causing leak, rupture
or other trouble.
Do not heat or disassemble batteries. Do not put them
•
in fire or water. Batteries could rupture or leak, causing
fire, injury or stains around them.
If the battery fluid leaks, wipe away any fluid on the
•
battery case before inserting new batteries. If the
battery fluid gets in an eye, it could cause loss of
eyesight. If fluid does enter an eye, wash it out thor-
oughly with clean water without rubbing the eye and
then consult a doctor immediately. If the fluid gets on a
person’s body or clothing, it could cause skin injuries or
burns. If this should happen, wash it off with clean water
and then consult a doctor immediately.
The unit power should be off when you install and
•
replace batteries.
Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit
•
for a long time. Batteries could rupture or leak, caus-
ing fire, injury or stains around them. If the battery fluid
leaks, wipe away any fluid on the battery compartment
before inserting new batteries.
Small children may mistakenly swallow a lithium coin •
battery and it is very dangerous. Keep the battery and
the remote control out of the reach of small children. In
the event a battery is swallowed, immediately consult a
physician.

Cautions on installation
The nominal operating temperature should be between
•
5˚C and 35˚C.
Do not install in places as below. It may deteriorate
•
sound quality and/or cause malfunctions:
a place susceptible to vibration or unstable
a place exposed to direct sunlight, such as by a window
a place excessively hot such as by a heater
a place excessively cold
a place with bad ventilation or excessively damp
Hum noise may be generated when using the unit near
•
a device which has a large transformer such as a power
amplifier. Take a distance from such devices and turn
the unit around to stop the noise.
Using the unit near a TV or radio may cause picture
•
deterioration or noise. Take a distance from such devic-
es.

•
the unit may cause noise, especially at incoming and
outgoing of a call and during speaking over the phone.
Take a distance from such devices or turning them off.
Do not use the unit with the front panel down or side
•
panels down. It may cause malfunctions of CD record-
ing and playback. Install it with the operation panel up.
Beware of condensation
If the unit 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 inter-
nal mechanism, making correct operation impossible. To
prevent this, or if this occurs, let the recorder sit for one or
two hours at the new room temperature before using.

1–Introduction
CD-R
CD-RW
Always insert the disc into the slot with the label side
•
toward 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.
Avoid getting fingerprints on the signal side (the non-
•
label side). Grime and dust may cause skipping.
Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface radially
•
(from the center hole outward towards the outer edge)
with a soft, dry cloth:
Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid
•
dust and scratches that could cause the laser pickup to
“skip.”
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.
Do not affix any labels or stickers to the label side of the
•
disc. Do not insert discs that have adhesive remaining
from tape or stickers that have been removed. If they are
inserted into the player, they could stick to the internal
mechanism, requiring removal by a technician.
Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD
•
stabilizers with this unit will damage the mechanism
and cause them to malfunction.
Do not use cracked discs.
•
Do not use CDs with an irregular shape (octagonal,
•
heart shaped, business card size, etc.). CDs of this sort
can damage the 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 repro-
duction. If you experience problems with such non-stan-
dard discs, you should contact the producers of the disc.
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.
Inserting a disc into the slot-loading drive
1. Insert a disc halfway into the slot by holding the disc
edge and facing the label side front, as illustrated.
2. Push the disc into the slot until the disc is automati-
cally brought in.
When a disc is not loaded properly
When a disc is not loaded properly, draw out the disc and
press the øEJECT key, then try to load it again. DO NOT
push the disc in forcedly. It may damage the unit and the
disc.

Using the Tuner
The BB-1000CD has a built-in tuner. By using a mic to
input the sound of an instrument, you can use the tuning
meter on the display to tune that instrument accurately. In
addition, you can output a tuner sound to, for example, tune
multiple instruments simultaneously.
P r e p a r a t i o n
1. Press the TUNER key to open the Tuner screen.
The screen of chromatic tuner mode appears.
2. Press the F1 key to select a tuner mode.
Each time you press the key, the mode changes
between the chromatic tuner mode and the oscillator
mode.
Changes to the oscillator mode
Changes to the chromatic tuner mode
3. Use the CALIB item to set the frequency of A above
middle C (A4) between 435 Hz and 445 Hz.
The set value appears in the lower right part of the
screen. This setting affects both tuner modes.
Use of the two tuner modes is explained below.
Chromatic tuner mode
This is the default mode. Use the tuning meter on the
BB-1000CD’s screen to tune your instrument.
The tuning meter and input signal pitch appear on the
screen. ("– – –" appears when no sound is input or the input
sound is out of the measurable range.)
1. The input is automatically changed to the left micro-
phone on the front panel and the input setting is
changed to AGC.
2. Input the sound of the instrument you are tuning
through the microphone. The name of the closest
pitch appears in the upper part of the meter.
3. Tune the instrument until the desired pitch is shown
and the center of the meter is highlighted. A bar
appears to the left if the tuning is too low and a bar
appears to the right if it is too high. The longer the
bar is the more out of tune the instrument is.
TIP
You can check the diff erence of the pitch also at the volume/play-
back/recording indicator.
The center LED lights up in green when the tuning is fi ne.
The center LED lights up in red and green LEDs show the degree of
pitch diff erence when out of tune.
Oscillator mode
The built-in oscillator can output a sine wave of a pitch in
the three octaves between C3 and B5 through the built-in
speakers.
In addition to the CALIB item described above, you can
change oscillation pitch on the NOTE item.
NOTE
Set the output pitch (C3–B5).
Press the F2 key to turn the oscillator sound ON/OFF.
Using the Metronome
The BB-1000CD has a built-in metronome that outputs its
sound. The volume/playback/recording indicator lights up
along with its time.
Setting the metronome
To use the metronome, press the METRONOME key to
open the METRONOME screen.
You can set the following items on the METRONOME
screen.
TEMPO
Set the speed to a value between 20 and 250 beats per min-
ute (BPM).
BEAT
Set the accent frequency between 0 and 9. There is no ac-
cent when set to 0. For example, set this to 4 if you want
4/4 time.

Starting and stopping the metronome
On the metronome screen, press the F1/F2 key to start/stop
the metronome.
NOTE
The indicator on the front panel lights along with the time of the •
metronome.
When using the metronome, you cannot return to the Home •
screen .
Practicing with CD/SD playback
Not only can you use the unit to change the tempo of track
playback, you can even do this without changing the pitch.
You can also change the playback pitch of a track without
changing the tempo.
Furthermore, you can also reduce (cancel) the sound of
a voice or solo instrument on a track. You can use these
playback control functions effectively to practice and learn
parts.
Changing the playback key
You can change the key (pitch) of playback sound without
changing playback speed by using the KEY knob and the
FINE PITCH knob.
Use the KEY knob to adjust the pitch up or down by semi-
tone (b6 - #6).
Use the FINE PITCH knob to adjust the pitch finely by a
cent (1/100 of a semitone). The adjustable range is –50 -
+50.
Changing the playback speed
Use the SPEED knob to control the playback speed.
Since the speed adjustment range is –50% to +16% (in 1%
increments), the slowest speed setting is half the original
speed.
Reducing sound of a certain location (PART CANCEL)
You can select a certain position and reduce the sound
volume from the position. For example, selecting C (center)
on a commercially available audio CD reduces vocal sound
(part cancel function).
NOTE
The eff ect diff ers depending on the characteristic of the sound
source.
1. Press the MENU key to open the MENU screen.
2. Press the CURSOR [§/] key to select the PART
CANCEL item and press the ENTER key.
3. Turn the DATA wheel to select an item and adjust it.
The adjustable items are the two below:
CANCEL (the factory setting is OFF)
Set the CANCEL item to ON to turn the part cancel func-
tion ON.
Depending on the music, the part cancel function may not
reduce the recorded vocal or solo instrument sound suffi-
ciently. If this is the case, changing the PART setting might
make the reduction more effective. Listen to the music as
you adjust the settings to achieve the best effect.
PART (the factory setting is C)
Adjust this setting to match the stereo position of the sound
that you want to reduce (L10-C -R10).
Practicing a certain phrase repeatedly
You can continuously repeat the playback of a selection that
you make (loop playback).
