Compact Disc; Cassette Tape - Teac EX-M1 Owner's Manual

Compact Disc

Discs which can be used with this unit:
Conventional audio CDs
Properly finalized CD-R discs
Note:
Depending on the quality of the disc and/or the condition of the
recording, some CD-R discs may not be playable.
CD-RW discs cannot be played on this unit.
< Always put the disc in place with the label side facing 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.
How to remove the disc
< Should the disc become dirty, wipe the
surface radially (from the center out
towards the edge) with a soft, dry
cloth. Do not wipe in a circular motion :
< 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.
< Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid dust
and scratches that could cause the laser pickup to "skip."
< Do not expose discs to direct sunlight or high humidity and
temperature for extended periods. Long exposure to high
temperatures will warp the disc.
< CD-R discs are more sensitive to the effects of heat and
ultraviolet rays than ordinary CDs. It is important that they are
not stored in a location where direct sunlight will fall on them,
and which is away from sources of heat such as radiators or
heat-generating electrical devices.
< Printable CD-R discs aren't recommended, as the label side
might be sticky and damage the unit.
< Do not stick papers or protective sheets on the discs and do
not use any protective coating spray.
< Use a soft oil-based felt-tipped pen to write the information on
the label side. Never use a ball-point or hard-tipped pen, as
this may cause damage to the recorded side.
< Never use a stabilizer. Using commercially available CD
stabilizers with this unit will damage the mechanisms and
cause them to malfunction.
< Do not use irregular shape CDs (octagonal, heart-shape, etc.).
CDs of this sort can damage the unit:
< If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a CD-R
disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact
the disc manufacturer directly.

Tape Handling:
Use your finger or a pencil to turn the cassette's hub and take up
any slack tape.
< Avoid touching the tape. Fingerprints attract dust and dirt.
< Do not store tapes in the following places:
On top of heaters, exposed to direct sunlight or in any other
places with high temperatures.
Near speakers, on TV sets or amplifiers or where they would
be exposed to strong magnetic fields.
Where humidity is high and in dirty, dusty places.
< Avoid dropping or subjecting cassettes to excessive shocks.
< As C-120 tapes are physically weak and could become
entangled in the transport mechanism, do not use them.
