< CD-R and CD-RW 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 with direct sunlight and
keep your discs away from sources of heat such as radiators
or heat-generating electrical devices.
• Conventional audio CDs bearing the COMPACT DISC

Note:
not use any protective coating spray.
< Depending on the quality of the disc and/or the condition of
the recording, some CD-R/CD-RW discs may not be playable.
< Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write information on
the label side of a disc. Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped
pen, as this may cause damage to the recorded side of the
disc.
< Copy-protected discs and other discs that 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.
< Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD
stabilizers with this unit will damage the mechanisms and
cause them to malfunction.

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”.

center hole outward towards the outer edge with a soft, dry,
lint-free cloth:
< The disc must be finalized in order to play.
< The CD-ROM must be ISO 9660 compatible.
< Never use chemicals such as record (LP) sprays, antistatic
sprays or fluids, benzine or thinner to clean the discs. Such
chemicals will do irreparable damage to the disc’s plastic
surface.
< When more than 200 files or 50 folders are recorded on the
disc, the unit might not be able to play it correctly.
< The file must be mono or stereo MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3
format, 44.1 or 48 kHz, fixed bit-rate.
< Discs should be returned to their cases after each use to avoid
dust and scratches that may eventually cause your disc to
skip.

temperatures for extended periods. Long exposure to high
temperatures will warp the disc.
< Do not play any disc that is warped, scratched, deformed or
damaged. Playing such discs may cause irreparable harm to
the playback mechanism.
