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.

FM Outdoor Antenna

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.

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  
one or two hours with the power turned on. The unit will  
stabilize at the temperature of its surroundings.  
e The unit is too close to a TV or similar appliances. Install the  
unit apart from them, or turn them off.  
Remote control doesn’t work.  
e Press the POWER switch to turn the unit on.  
e When the battery has run out, put in a new one.  
e Use remote control unit within the range (5 m) and point at  
the front panel.  
e Clear obstacles between the remote control unit and the  
main unit.  
Maintenance  
If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe with a soft cloth or  
use diluted mild liquid soap. Never spray liquid directly on this  
unit. Apply your cleaner to your cleaning cloth and wipe  
gently. Be sure to remove any excess completely. Do not use  
thinner, benzene or alcohol as they may damage the surface  
of the unit. Allow the surface of the unit to dry completely  
before using.  
e If a strong light is near the unit, turn it off.  
CD Player  
Cannot play.  
e Load a disc with the playback side facing away.  
e If the disc is dirty, clean the surface of the disc.  
e A blank disc has been loaded. Load a prerecorded disc.  
e Depending on the disc, etc. it may not be possible to play  
back CD-R/RW discs. Try again with another disc.  
e You cannot play back unfinalized CD-R/RW discs. Finalize  
such a disc in a CD recorder and try again.  
Sound skips.  
e Place the unit on a stable place to avoid vibration and shock.  
e If the disc is dirty, clean the surface of the disc.  
e Don’t use scratched, damaged or warped discs.
