Before Use

Read this before operation

• As the unit may become warm during operation, always leaves sufficient space around the unit for ventilation.
• The voltage supplied to the unit should match the voltage as printed on the rear panel. If you are in any doubt regarding this matter, consult an electrician.
• Choose the installation location of your unit carefully. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or close to a source of heat. Also avoid locations subject to vibrations and excessive dust, heat, cold or moisture.
• Do not place the unit on an amplifier/receiver or any other electronic device that generates heat.
• Do not open the sealed cabinet as this might result in damage to the circuitry or electrical shock. If a foreign object should get into the set, contact your dealer or service agency.
• When removing the power plug from the wall outlet, always pull directly on the plug, never yank the cord.
• To keep the laser pickup clean, do not touch it, and always close the disc tray.
• Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents as this might damage the finish. Use a clean, dry cloth.
• Keep this manual in a safe place for future reference.

DO NOT MOVE THE UNIT DURING PLAYBACK

During playback, the disc rotates at high speed. Do NOT lift or move the unit during playback. Doing so may damage the disc or the record.

WHEN MOVING THIS UNIT

When changing places of installation or packing the unit for moving, be sure to remove the disc and the record. Moving this unit with the disc or the record loaded may result in damage to this unit. If the unit is to be packed and moved a large distance, it is also advisable to tighten the turntable transport locking screw. See page 12 for instructions.

Beware of condensation

When the unit (or a 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 erratic or impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs, leave the unit for one or two hours with the power turned on. The unit will stabilize at the temperature of its surroundings.

Maintenance

Always keep the turntable clean.

If the surface of the unit gets dirty, wipe with a soft cloth or use diluted mild liquid soap. Be sure to remove any excess completely. Do not use thinner, benzine or alcohol as they may damage the surface of the unit. Allow the surface of the unit to dry completely before using

CAUTION

Do not expose this unit to liquids of any kind. Keep any objects containing liquids such as vases, water glasses, potted plants, et cetera off the top of this unit.

Do not install this equipment in a confined space such as a book-case or similar unit.

Discs which can be played on this unit:

• Conventional audio CDs bearing the CD-DA logo on the label:

• 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.
• 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 reproduction. If you experience problems with such non-standard discs, you should contact the producers of the disc.

• Always place the disc on the disc tray with the label side uppermost. (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

How to hold the disc

• Should the disc become dirty, wipe the surface radially with a soft, dry cloth.

• 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 Selection

Metal and chrome (cobalt) tapes have identification holes.

• This unit can play normal (TypeI) tape only.

a Normal (TypeI)
CrO_2 (TypeII)
Metal (TypeIV)

Tape Handling

Use your finger or a pencil to turn the cassette's hub and take up any slack tape.

• Avoid touching the tape. Fingersprints 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.

Maintenance

The heads and tape path should be cleaned and demagnetized periodically.

Cleaning Tape Path

• Apply head cleaning fluid to a cotton swab or soft cloth, and lightly rub the heads A, capstan B and all metal parts in the tape path.
• Also clean the pinch roller using rubber cleaning fluid.

Demagnetizing Heads

Be sure that the power is off, then demagnetize the heads using a demagnetizer. For details of its use, read its instructions.

• Do not touch grooves. Handle records by the edges or the label only, with clean hands. Skin oils from even clean hands can leave a residue on the record surface that will gradually deteriorate the quality of your record.

• Keep your records away from dust. Keep them in a cool, dry place.
• To avoid dust and scratches, keep records in their sleeves and jackets when not in use.
• Store records upright on their edges. Records stored horizontally will eventually bend and warp.
• Do not expose records to direct sunlight or high humidity and temperature. Long exposure to high temperatures will warp the record.
• Do not store your records in the trunk of your car. The temperatures in a closed trunk can ruin your collection.
• Store records in an area with stable temperature and humidity.
• Should the record become dirty, gently wipe the surface in a circular motion, using a soft anti-static cloth.

Many commercial record cleaning systems are available from many retailers or on-line. TEAC does not endorse any specific product but, depending on the condition of your record collection, it may be advisable to look into one of these systems. Clean records protect your stylus from undue wear.

Stylus should last about 50 hours under normal use. However, it is recommended to replace the stylus as soon as you notice a change in sound quality.

Prolonged use of a worn-out stylus may damage the record. Wear and tear will accelerate when playing 78 RPM records. The higher speed of 78 RPM records wears the stylus more quickly.

Caution:

• Do not remove or bend stylus.
• To avoid injury, do not touch the needle.
• Turn off the power of the unit before you replace the stylus.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Handle with care, as the stylus is delicate. Use of a bent or broken stylus may damage the record and cause mal-function.
• Do not expose stylus to extreme heat.
• Contact a qualified repair company if you experience difficulty in changing the stylus.

Removing old stylus

1. Set a screwdriver at the tip of stylus and push down to the direction "A".
2. Pull out to the direction "B".

Installing new stylus

1. Hold the tip of stylus and insert the other edge to the direction "C".
2. Push up to the direction "D" until it locks at the tip.

The replacement stylus for this GF-600 is a STL-103. Please contact TEAC Parts at [phone], extension 840 to order. Or call our automated Service Agency Locator at: (800) 447-TEAC for the closest authorized repair company that can replace the stylus for you.
