If you experience any problems with the unit, please take a moment
to read through this page and try to solve the problem yourself before
you call your dealer or a TEAC service center.
No power
eCheck the connection to the AC power source. Confirm that the
AC source is not a switched outlet, and, if it is, that the switch
is turned on. Confirm that there is power to the AC outlet by
plugging another item such as a lamp or a fan into the outlet.
Remote control does not work
ePress the POWER switch of the main unit to turn it on.
eIf the batteries are exhausted, change the batteries.
eUse the remote control within the effective range (16 ft/5 m) and
point it toward the remote sensor on the front panel.
eMake sure that there are no obstacles between the remote
control and the main unit.
eTurn off any fluorescent lights near the unit.
No sound
eCheck the connection to the amplifier.
eCheck the operation of the amplifier.
Will not play
eLoad a disc with the label side up.
eIf the disc is dirty, clean its surface.
eIf a blank disc has been loaded, load a prerecorded disc.
eDepending on the disc and other factors, playback of some
CD-R/RW discs might not be possible. Try again with another
disc.
eYou cannot play unfinalized CD-R/RW discs. Finalize such a disc in
a CD recorder and try again.
Sound skips
ePlace the unit in a stable place to avoid vibrations and shocks.
eWhen using the unit in a place where vibration is unavoidable,
turn the ESP anti-skipping function on (see page 12).
eIf the disc is dirty, clean its surface.
eDo not use scratched, damaged or warped discs.
Since this device uses a microcontroller, external noise and
other interference can cause the unit to malfunction. If this
occurs, turn the power off and restart the operation after
waiting about a minute.
Beware of condensation
Condensation could occur when the unit (or a disc) is moved from
a cold to a warm place, or used after a sudden temperature change.
Vapor in the air could condense on the internal mechanisms, making
correct operation erratic or impossible. To prevent this, or if this
occurs, leave the unit for one or two hours with its power turned on.
The unit will stabilize at the temperature of its surroundings.
Maintenance
If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth or use
diluted mild liquid soap. Never spray liquid directly on this unit. Apply
cleaner to the cleaning cloth and wipe gently. Be certain to remove
any excess completely. Do not use thinner, benzene or alcohol as they
could damage the surface of the unit. Allow the surface of the unit to
dry completely before using.
