CAUTIONS ABOUT BATTERIES
ª
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
•
batteries could rupture or leak, causing fire or inju-
ry.
When installing batteries, pay attention to the
•
polarity indications (plus/minus (+/–) orientation),
and install them correctly in the battery compart-
ment 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 batter-
ies 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 differ-
ent 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
thoroughly 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, causing fire, injury or stains around them. If
the battery fluid leaks, wipe away any fluid on the
battery compartment before inserting new batter-
ies.
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.

About Compact Discs
The built-in CD drive in BB-1000CD units can record and
play audio in the CD-DA format on CD-R and CD-RW
discs.

8 TASCAM BB-1000CD/BB-800
1 – Introduction
Precaution for CD use
Use only CD, CD-R and CD-RW discs that bear the
•
following logos.
CD-R
CD-RW
Always insert the disc into the slot with the label side
•
toward you.
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 touching the signal recording side (the side
•
without the label). Fingerprints and oil on the disc,
for example, could cause errors during recording and
playback.
Should fingerprints or dust get on the signal recording
•
side, wipe the surface from the center hole outward
towards the outer edge with a soft, dry cloth. Discs
should always be cleaned before storage to remove grime
that could cause reduced sound quality.
Never clean discs with record sprays, antistatic sprays
•
or fluids, benzene, thinner or other chemicals. Such
chemicals can do irreparable damage to the disc’s plastic
surface and make playback impossible.
Do not affix any labels or stickers to the label side of a
•
disc. Do not insert discs that have adhesive remaining
from tape or stickers that have been removed. Doing
so could cause the disc to become stuck in the unit or
otherwise make it malfunction.
Never use a stabilizer. Using a commercially-available
•
CD stabilizer with this unit could prevent playback or
cause malfunction.
Do not use cracked discs.
•
Do not use CDs with irregular shapes, including
•
octagonal, heart-shaped and business card-sized CDs,
because they could cause the unit to malfunction.
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 respon-
sible 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.
About CD-R and CD-RW discs
CD-R discs can be recorded only once, and recorded tracks
cannot be erased. However, if the disc has not been finalized
and sufficient space is available on the disc, additional
material can be recorded. After finishing recording, final-
izing a CD-R makes it playable in most ordinary CD players
(some CD players might not be able to play these discs).
In contrast, if a CD-RW disc becomes full, tracks on it can
be erased, and the space on the disc can be reused for new
recordings. However, only the last recorded track or all
recorded tracks can be deleted. Selectively deleting tracks
recorded earlier is not possible. Even after being finalized,
CD-RW discs can only be played in players that specifically
support their playback.
Inserting a disc into the slot-loading
drive
1Insert the disc partway into the slot by holding
the disc by the edge with the label side forward as
illustrated.
2Push the disc further until the disc is almost com-
pletely hidden and it will be automatically pulled into
the slot.
If a disc does not loaded properly
If a disc does not load properly, pull out the disc and press
the EJECT (ø) key, and then try to load it again. (Do not
force the disc in, because this could damage the unit and the
disc.)
