Before Use
Read This Before Operating
Handling the Discs
Remote Control Unit
This unit has been designed specifically for
reproduction of compact discs bearing the
"˛" mark. No other discs can be repro-
duced.
O Choose the installation location of your
unit carefully. Avoid placing it in direct
sunlight or close to a source of heat.
Also avoid locations subject to vibra-
tions and excessive dust, heat, cold or
moisture. Keep away from such sources
that hum, such as transformers or
motors.
O Do not open the cabinet as this might
result in damage to the circuitry or elec-
trical shock. If a foreign object should
get into the set, contact your dealer.
O When removing the power plug from the
wall outlet, always pull directly on the
plug, never yank the cord.
When operating the remote control unit,
point it towards the remote sensor on the
front panel of the unit.
O Always place the compact disc in the
disc tray with the label facing upward.
(Compact discs can be played only on
one side.)
O 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.
ªBattery Installation
How to remove the disc
O Be sure not to handle discs with dirty
fingers. Never insert a disc which has a
crack on the surface.
O Do not attempt to clean the unit with
chemical solvents as this might damage
the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
1. Remove the battery compartment
cover.
2. Insert two “AA” (R6, SUM-3) dry
batteries.
Make sure that the batteries are inserted
O Keep this manual in a safe place for
future reference.

ative –poles positioned correctly.
3. Close the cover until it clicks.
neg-
Handling the Tapes
Do not store tapes in the following places:
‚ On top of heaters, exposed to direct sun-
light or in any other places with high
temperatures.
O Near speakers, on TV sets or amplifiers
or where they would be exposed to
strong magnetic fields.
O Where humidity is high and in dirty,
dusty places.
O Avoid dropping or subjecting cassettes
to excessive shocks.
O As C-120 tapes are physically weak and
could become entangled in the transport
mechanism, do not use them.
O Fingerprints and dust should be careful-
ly wiped off the disc's recorded surface
with a soft cloth.
Battery Replacement.
If you notice that the distance between the
remote control unit and the unit for correct
operation becomes shorter, it indicates
that the batteries are exhaust- ed. In this
case replace the batteries with new ones.
Wipe radially
Precautions concerning batteries
O Be sure to insert the batteries with
correct positive ≠ and negative –
polarities.
O Use batteries of the same type. Never
use different types of batteries
together.
O Rechargeable and non-rechargeable
batteries can be used. Refer to the pre-
cautions on their labels.
O When the remote control unit is not to
be used for a long time (more than a
month), remove the batteries from the
remote control unit to prevent them
from leaking. If they leak, wipe away
the liquid inside the battery compart-
ment and replace the batteries with new
ones.
O Do not use thinner, benzine or alcohol as
they damage the surface of the disc's
plastic surface.
O Discs should be returned to their cases
after use to avoid serious scratches that
could cause the laser pickup to "skip."
O Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or
high humidity and temperature for
extended periods.
Long exposure to high temperatures can
warp the disc.
O Do not stick paper or write anything with
a ballpoint pen on the surface of the
label side.
Cassette Tape
Tape Selection:
For the automatic tape select function to
work properly, metal and chrome (cobalt)
tapes must have identification holes.
*Dolby noise reduction manufactered under
license from Dolby Laboratories Licensing
Corporation.
“DOLBY” and the double-D symbol ∂are
trademarks of Dolby Laboratories
Licensing Corporation.
O Do not heat or disassemble batteries
and never dispose of old batteries by
throwing them in fire.

ton, the tape will locate the "0000" point and
stop.
CPS allows the selection and playback of
any tune up to 15 tunes ahead or before the
one being played. This function operates
by detecting blank spaces of at least 4 sec-
onds between tunes. These blanks can be
created using the REC MUTE function.
2. The tape is fast-wound to detect blanks
between tunes until the required tune is
reached. Then playback starts from the
beginning of the designated tune.
O The RTZ function does not work when
the tape counter indicates a number
between "9996" and "0004".
Notes:
O In the following steps 1 and 2, to simpli-
fy the description, the explanation is
given for "forward playback" (∏ direc-
tion). A similar procedure should be
used for "reverse playback".
Notes on CPS
CPS operates by detecting and counting
blanks of about 4 seconds, the standard
interval between tunes. Therefore, with the
following types of tapes, search functions
may not work correctly.
O The Ò (Fast Forward) and
(Rewind) buttons act as CPS buttons
during playback. This is why the main
unit indicates "/Ú Æ/Ò" for
these buttons, while the remote control
unit shows just "Ò". In the fol-
lowing explanation, these buttons are
described as just "" and "Ò".
Pitch Control
You can change the tape speed during
playback, allowing to change the pitch of
the reproduced sound.
O When the intervals between tunes can-
not be detected.
– Intervals of less than 4 seconds.
– High levels of noise in intervals.
– Long low level sections (in classical
music, etc.)
1. During forward playback, press the
or Òbutton repeatedly until the num-
ber of tunes to be skipped appears in the
counter display. Use the Òbutton for
searching a tune following the current
tune and button for a tune before
the current tune. Refer to the chart
"How to Select Any Required Tune Using
CPS".
By turning the PITCH CONTROL to the right,
the tape speed becomes faster, resulting in
higher pitch. By turning it to the left, the
tape speed becomes slower, resulting in
lower pitch.
O At the fully clockwise position, the tape
speed is approx. 12% faster .
O At the fully counterclockwise position,
the tape speed is approx. 12% slower.
How to Select Any Required Tune Using CPS
Ex: See (1). To select the 3rd tune past the current tape position, select "CP03".

Maintenance
IMPORTANT (for U.K. Customers)
The heads and tape path should be cleaned
and demagnetized periodically.
Pinch Roller
Capstan
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this
equipment. If the plug fitted is not suit-
able for the power points in your home
or the cable is too short to reach a
power point, then obtain an appropriate
safety approved extension lead or con-
sult your dealer.
If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off,
remove the fuse and dispose of the plug
immediately, to avoid a possible shock
hazard by inadvertent connection to the
mains supply.
Cleaning tape path
O Apply head cleaning fluid* to a cotton
bud or soft cloth, and lightly rub the
heads, capstan and all metal parts in the
tape path.
O Also clean the pinch roller using rubber
cleaning fluid*.
Erase Head
*
Both are available in TEAC Tape
Cleaning Kits HC-2 and RC-2 in the
U.S.A. or TZ-261 in other areas.
Record/Play Head
If this product is not provided with a
mains plug, or one has to be fitted, then
follow the instructions given below:
Demagnetizing heads
Be sure that the power is off, then demag-
netize the heads using a TEAC E-3 demag-
netizer. For details of its use, read its
instructions.
IMPORTANT. DO NOT make any con-
nection to the larger terminal which is
marked with the letter E or by the safety
earth symbol ç or coloured GREEN or
GREEN-and-YELLOW.
The wires in the mains lead on this prod-
uct are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
Specifications

As these colours may not correspond
with the coloured markings identifying
the terminals in your plug proceed as
follows:
The wire which is coloured BLUE must
be connected to the terminal which is
marked with the letter N or coloured
BLACK.
The wire which is coloured BROWN
must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter L or
coloured RED.
When replacing the fuse only a correct-
