Tascam CD-01U - Manual (Page 7)

1 - Introduction ΠΠEnvironmental considerations
The CD-01U/CD-01U Pro have been designed for the
playback of CD-DA format discs and MP3 files record-
ed in ISO9660 format. In addition to ordinary 5-inch and
3-inch CDs, it can also play properly recorded CD-R
and CD-RW discs.
When removing a CD from its case, press down on the
center of the disc holder to free the CD, then lift the disc
out, holding it carefully by the edges.
≠ Removing a disc
≠ Hold the CD like this
≠ Avoid getting fingerprints on the signal side (opposite
the label side). When cleaning, wipe gently with a soft
cloth from the center towards the outside edge. Dust
and grime may cause skipping, so keep discs clean
and store them in their cases when not being played.
≠ 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.
≠ 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.
≠ Please do not insert discs that have adhesive remain-
ing 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 tech-
nician.
≠ Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non-cir
cular promotional, etc. discs.
≠ The CD-01U/CD-01U Pro cannot play unfinalized
CD-R/RW discs.
≠ Do not use a C-thru disc.
The unit does not support a C-thru disc. Therefore,
you may not be able to insert a C-thru disc or may
not be able to remove a C-thru disc that has been
successfully inserted to the unit.
In the latter case, try to press the DISPLAY and
EJECT keys simultaneously, which may solve the
problem.
≠ Do not use the DualDisc. DualDisc is two-sided play-
back only discs. Insertion or ejection of a DualDisc
into/from CD-01U/CD-01U Pro is likely to cause
scratches to the surface of the DualDisc. Scratched
discs may not play in CD products.
A DualDisc may not play in CD-01U/CD-01U Pro and
a DualDisc could get stuck in and may not be able to
be removed from the CD-01U/CD-01U Pro.

Use the rack-mounting kit to mount the unit in a
standard 19-inch equipment rack, as shown below.
Remove the feet of the unit before mounting.
If you are mounting the unit in a rack, leave 1U of
space above it and 10cm (4 in) or more of space at
the rear. The CD-01U/CD-01U Pro can be mounted
in any angle between 0 to 90 degrees.
