IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Cautions about Batteries
This product uses batteries. Misuse of batteries could
cause a leak, rupture or other trouble. Always abide by the
following precautions when using batteries.
Never recharge non-rechargeable batteries. The batter-
ies could rupture or leak, causing fire or injury.
•
When installing batteries, pay attention to the polarity
indications (plus/minus (+/–) orientation), and install
them correctly in the battery compartment as indicated.
Putting them in backward could make the batteries
rupture or leak, causing fire, injury or stains around
them.
•
When throwing used batteries away, follow the disposal
instructions indicated on the batteries and the local
disposal laws. When you store or dispose batteries, isorate
their terminals with insulation tape or something like that
to prevent them from contacting other batteries or metalic
objects.
•
•
Do not use batteries other than those specified. Do not
mix and use new and old batteries or different types of
batteries together. The batteries could rupture or leak,
causing fire, injury or stains around them.
Do not carry or store batteries together with small metal
objects. The batteries could short, causing leak, rupture
or other trouble.
•
•
•
Do not heat or disassemble batteries. Do not put them
in fire or water. Batteries could rupture or leak, causing
fire, injury or stains around them.
If the battery fluid leaks, wipe away any fluid on the
battery case before inserting new batteries. If the
battery fluid gets in an eye, it could cause loss of
eyesight. If fluid does enter an eye, wash it out thor-
oughly with clean water without rubbing the eye and
then consult a doctor immediately. If the fluid gets on a
person’s body or clothing, it could cause skin injuries or
burns. If this should happen, wash it off with clean water
and then consult a doctor immediately.
The unit power should be off when you install and
replace batteries.
•
•
Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit
for a long time. Batteries could rupture or leak, caus-
ing fire, injury or stains around them. If the battery fluid
leaks, wipe away any fluid on the battery compartment
before inserting new batteries.
• Small children may mistakenly swallow a lithium coin
battery and it is very dangerous. Keep the battery and
the remote control out of the reach of small children. In
the event a battery is swallowed, immediately consult a
physician.

1–Introduction
CD-R
About CD-R and CD-RW discs
CD-R discs can be recorded once only. Once they have
been used for recording, they cannot be erased or re-
recorded. However, if space is available on the disc (and
the disc has not been finalized), additional material can be
recorded.
By contrast, a CD-RW disc can be used in much the same
way as a CD-R disc, but the last track or tracks recorded
can be erased, and the space on the disc can be re-used for
other recordings.
CD-RW
However, you should note that an audio CD created using
a CD-RW disc may not play back satisfactorily on every
audio CD player.
CD-R, by contrast, may be played satisfactorily on the
majority of audio CD players.
Always insert the disc into the slot with the label side
toward you. (Compact discs can be played or recorded
only on one side.)
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.
•
•
Inserting a disc into the slot-loading drive
Avoid getting fingerprints on the signal side (the non-
label side). Grime and dust may cause skipping.
Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface radially
(from the center hole outward towards the outer edge)
with a soft, dry cloth:
•
•
Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid
dust and scratches that could cause the laser pickup to
“skip.”
Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic
sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean the discs.
Such chemicals will do irreparable damage to the disc’s
plastic surface.
Do not affix any labels or stickers to the label side of the
disc. 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.
Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD
stabilizers with this unit will damage the mechanism
and cause them to malfunction.
•
•
1. Insert a disc halfway into the slot by holding the disc
edge and facing the label side front, as illustrated.
2. Push the disc into the slot until the disc is automati-
cally brought in.
When a disc is not loaded properly
When a disc is not loaded properly, draw out the disc and
press the øEJECT key, then try to load it again. DO NOT
push the disc in forcedly. It may damage the unit and the
disc.
•
•
Do not use cracked discs.
•
•
Do not use CDs with an irregular shape (octagonal,
heart shaped, business card size, etc.). CDs of this sort
can damage the unit:
Copy-protected discs and other discs which 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 repro-
duction. If you experience problems with such non-stan-
dard discs, you should contact the producers of the disc.

record sound using external equipment connected to the
LINE IN jack or the EXT MIC A/B (L/R) jacks.
AGC HIGH/AGC LOW
The input gain changes automatically according to the

(source) to it before recording.
NOTE
• It is recommended to select an SD card as the recording media
when recording the sound through the built-in microphones as
they may pick up rotation noise of during recording on a disc.
NOTE
• You can record up to 99 tracks on a disc.
Be sure to insert an SD card before overdubbing as the recording
media for overdubbing is fixed to an SD card regardless of playback
media.

reduce the recorded vocal or solo instrument sound suffi-
ciently. If this is the case, changing the PART setting might
make the reduction more effective. Listen to the music as
you adjust the settings to achieve the best effect.
Practicing with CD/SD playback
Not only can you use the unit to change the tempo of track
playback, you can even do this without changing the pitch.
You can also change the playback pitch of a track without
changing the tempo.
Furthermore, you can also reduce (cancel) the sound of
a voice or solo instrument on a track. You can use these
playback control functions effectively to practice and learn
parts.
PART (the factory setting is C)
Adjust this setting to match the stereo position of the sound
that you want to reduce (L10-C-R10).
Practicing a certain phrase repeatedly
You can continuously repeat the playback of a selection that
you make (loop playback).
( ∑ page 37 “Loop playback (I–O LOOP)”)
Changing the playback key
You can change the key (pitch) of playback sound without
changing playback speed by using the KEY knob and the
FINE PITCH knob.
Use the KEY knob to adjust the pitch up or down by semi-
tone (b6 - #6).
Use the FINE PITCH knob to adjust the pitch finely by a
cent (1/100 of a semitone). The adjustable range is –50 -
+50.
Recording the practice with CD/SD
This unit can mix and record its playback track and the
sounds from microphones and the LINE IN jack.
( ∑ page 39 “Overdubbing” on “8-Recording”)
Changing the playback speed
Use the SPEED knob to control the playback speed.
Since the speed adjustment range is –50% to +16% (in 1%
increments), the slowest speed setting is half the original
speed.
Reducing sound of a certain location (PART CANCEL)
You can select a certain position and reduce the sound
volume from the position. For example, selecting C (center)
on a commercially available audio CD reduces vocal sound
(part cancel function).
NOTE
The effect differs depending on the characteristic of the sound
source.
