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.

duce sound works to which you own the copyright, or
where you have obtained permission from the copyright
holder or the rightful licensor. Unless you own the

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.
Using wireless applications such as a cellular phone near
•
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.
Cleaning the unit
To clean the unit, wipe gently with a soft dry cloth. Do
not use any benzene, paint thinner, ethyl alcohol or other
chemical agents to clean the unit as they could damage the
surface.

can use 64 MB - 2 GB SD cards and 4 GB - 32 GB SDHC
cards with this unit. A list of SD cards that have been tested
with this unit can be found on the TASCAM web site (www.
tascam.com).

•
a card or the card slot, please take the following precau-
tions when handling them.

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.
