TASCAM GA-30CD

Handling of compact discs
1 - Introduction
The.GA-30CD.has.been.designed.for.the.playback.
of.CD-DA.(standard.audio).format.discs..In.addition.
to.ordinary.3-inch.and.3-inch.CDs,.it.can.also.play.
properly.recorded.CD-R.and.CD-RW.discs.
Always.place.CDs.in.the.tray.with.their.labeled.sides.
facing.upward.
To.remove.a.disc.from.its.case,.press.down.on.the.
center.of.the.disc.holder,.then.lift.the.disc.out,.hold-
ing.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.cen-
ter.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..This.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,.warp-
ing.could.result.
Do.not.affix.any.labels.or.stickers.to.the.label.side.of.
the.disc..Do.not.write.on.the.disc.with.ballpoint.pens.
Do.not.use.cracked.discs.
Only.use.circular.compact.discs..Avoid.using.non-
circular.promotional.discs,.etc.
The.GA-30CD.cannot.play.CD-R/RW.discs.that.are.
not.finalized.
Several.record.companies.have.released.music.discs.
that.use.Copy.Control.and.other.copy-protection.
systems.in.an.effort.to.prevent.piracy..Since.some.
of.these.discs.do.not.comply.with.the.CD.specifica-
tions,.the.GA-30CD.may.not.be.able.to.play.them.
After.opening.the.CD.player.cover,.if.the.CD.is.still.
spinning,.wait.until.it.has.stopped.before.removing.it..
CAUTION
Using commercially available CD stabilizers or printable
recordable discs with this player will damage the
mechanism and cause it to malfunction.
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 GA-30CD. If it sticks to the turntable,
you will need a technician to get it out..

If.the.unit.(or.a.compact.disc).is.moved.from.a.cold.to.a.
warm.place,.or.used.after.a.sudden.temperature.change,.
there.is.a.danger.of.condensation;.vapor.in.the.air.could.
condense.on.the.internal.mechanism,.making.correct. operation.impossible..To.prevent.this,.or.if.this.occurs,.
let.the.player.sit.for.one.or.two.hours.at.the.new.room.
temperature.before.using
Do.not.place.the.unit.in.the.following.types.of.places..
Placement.in.such.locations.may.cause.malfunction.or.
reduce.sound.quality..
Unstable.places.or.places.with.frequent.vibrations
Near.windows.or.in.direct.sunlight
Near.heating.devices.or.other.extremely.hot.places
Extremely.cold.places
Damp.or.poorly.ventilated.places.
Placing.this.amplifier.near.another.power.amplifier.or.
another.device.with.a.large.transformer.can.cause.hum..

this.occurs..
Operation.of.the.GA-30CD.near.a.television.or.radio.
may.cause.color.distortion.on.the.television.screen.
or.noise.in.the.radio.signal..If.this.occurs,.move.the.
GA-30CD.farther.away..
Use.of.mobile.phones.and.other.wireless.devices.near.
the.GA-30CD.may.cause.the.amp.to.produce.noise.
during.use.or.when.calls.are.made.or.received..If.this.
occurs,.turn.off.the.device.or.move.it.away.from.the.
GA-30CD..
