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.
