TASCAM CD-RW901MKII

1 − Introduction

Never use a stabilizer or printable discs

Using commercially available CD stabilizers or printable

recordable discs with this player will damage the mechanism

and cause it to malfunction.

NOTE

Never use a disc that has had a stabilizer mounted to
it. The residual adhesive may cause the disc to stick to
the turntable of the CD-RW901MKII. If it sticks to the
turntable, you will need a technician to get it out.

The CD-RW901MKII has been designed for the playback of

CD-DA (standard audio) format discs and MP3 files recorded

on the discs using the ISO9660 format: In addition to ordinary

5-inch and 3-inch CDs, it can also play properly recorded

CD-R and CD-RW discs.

Always insert the compact discs into the unit with their

label facing upward.

To remove a disc from its case, press down on the center

of the disc holder, then lift the disc out, holding it care-

fully by the edges.

Avoid getting fingerprints on the signal side (the non-

label side). Grime and dust may cause skipping, so keep

discs clean and store them in their cases when not being

played. To clean the signal side of a disc, wipe gently

with a soft dry cloth from the center towards the outside

edge.

Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions,

benzene, paint thinner or other chemical agents to clean

CDs as they could damage the delicate playing surface.

It may cause CDs to become unplayable.

Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid

serious scratches that could cause the laser pickup to “skip.”

Keep discs away from direct sunlight, and places of

high heat and humidity. If left in such places, warping

could result.

Do not affix any labels or stickers to the label side of the

disc. Do not write on the disc with a ballpoint pen.

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.

Do not use cracked discs.

Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non-circu-

lar promotional, etc. discs.

Music discs with copy control, a copy-protection

system, have been released from several record compa-

nies in an attempt to protect the copyright. Since some

of these discs do not comply with the CD specifications,

they may not be playable on the CD-RW901MKII.

Handling of compact discs

Environmental considerations

The CD-RW901MKII may be used in most areas, but to

maintain top performance, and prolong operating life, observe

the following environmental conditions:

The nominal temperature should be between 5°C and

35°C (41°F and 95°F).

Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 percent.

As the unit may become hot during operation, always

leave sufficient space above the unit for ventilation. Do

not install this unit in a confined space such as a book-

case, and do not put anything on top of the unit.

Avoid installing this unit on top of any heat-generating

electrical device such as a power amplifier.

Make sure that the unit is mounted in a level position for

correct operation.

NOTE

The voltage supplied to the unit should match the
voltage as printed on the rear panel. If you are in any
doubt regarding this matter, consult an electrician.
