IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
TASCAM CD-GT2
Handling of compact discs
The CD-GT2 has been designed for the playback of CD-DA 
(standard audio) format discs. In addition to ordinary 5-inch 
and 3-inch CDs, it can also play properly recorded CD-R and 
CD-RW discs.
Always insert a compact discs into the unit with its 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 carefully 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 promotional, 
discs and other discs that are not circular.
The CD-GT2 cannot play unfinalized CD-R/RW discs.
Music discs with copy control, a copy-protection system, 
have been released from several record companies in an 
attempt to protect their copyrights. Since some of these 
discs do not comply with the CD specifications, they might 
not be playable on the CD-GT2.
