Discs
<
Printable CD-R 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-shape, etc.).
CDs of this sort can damage the unit.
Discs that can be played on this unit:
• Commercial audio CD’s bearing the “Compact Disc Digital
Audio” logo:
• Properly finalized CD-R discs
Note:
<
Depending on the quality of the disc and/or the condition of
the recording, some CD-R discs may not be playable.
<
CD-RW discs cannot be played on this 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 reproduction. If you experience
problems with such non-standard discs, you should contact
the producers of the disc.
<
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.
How to remove the disc
How to hold the disc
<
Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface radially with a
soft, dry cloth. Never clean the disc using a circular motion.
<
If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a CD-R
disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact
the disc manufacturer directly.
<
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.
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.
<
The CD-ROM must be ISO 9660 compatible.
<
When more than 200 files or folders are recorded on the disc,
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.
