OWNER’S MANUAL
Discs
Discs that can be played on this unit:
< Printable CD-R discs aren’t recommended, as the label side
might be sticky and damage the unit.
• Commercial audio CD’s bearing the ‘Compact Disc Digital
Audio’ logo:
< 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.
• Properly finalized CD-R and CD-RW discs
Note:
< Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD
stabilizers with this unit will damage the mechanisms and
cause them to malfunction.
< Depending on the quality of the disc and/or the condition of
the recording, some CD-R 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.
< Do not use irregular shape CDs (octagonal, heart-shape, etc.).
CDs of this sort can damage the unit.
< If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a CD-
R/CD-RW disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or
contact the disc manufacturer directly.
< 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.
MP3 compatibility
< File names of MP3 should be alphanumeric characters. This
unit cannot display symbols and full-size or 2 bytes-wide
characters (such as Japanese, Chinese, etc.) correctly. Also, be
sure to use the file extension ‘.mp3’.
< The disc must be finalized in order to play.
How to remove the disc
How to hold the disc
< The CD-ROM must be ISO 9660 compatible.
< Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface radially with a
< When more than 200 files or folders are recorded on the disc,
soft, dry cloth. Never clean the disc using a circular motion.
the unit might not be able to play it correctly.
< Mono or stereo MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 format, 44.1 or
48 kHz, fixed bit-rate.
< Audio encoded at 128 Kbps should sound close to regular
audio CD quality. Although this player will play lower bit-rate
MP3 tracks, the sound quality becomes noticeably worse at
lower bit-rates.
< 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.

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.

Troubleshooting
If you have problems with your system, look through this chart
and see if you can solve the problem yourself before calling your
dealer or TEAC service center.
Tuner
Cannot listen to any station, or signal is too weak.
e Tune in the station properly.
e Rotate the FM or AM antenna for the best reception
position.
General
No power
Though the broadcast is stereo, it sounds monaural.
e Check the connection to the AC power supply. Check and
make sure the AC source is not a switched outlet and that,
if it is, the switch is turned on. Make sure there is power to
the AC outlet by plugging another item such as a lamp or
fan into the outlet.
e Press the STEREO/MONO button.
If normal operation cannot be recovered, unplug the
power cord from the outlet and plug it again.
No sound from speakers.
e Select the source by pressing the FUNCTION button.
e Check the connection to the speakers.
e Adjust the volume.
If the power switch of the subwoofer turned off, the
settings kept in memory (clock, preset stations, timer
setting) will be erased.
e Pull out the headphone’s plug from the PHONES jack.
eIf the VOLUME level indicator is blinking, press the MUTING
button.
Beware of condensation
The sound is noisy.
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
