There is no hazardous invisible laser radiation during operation because invisible laser radiation emitted inside of this product is completely confined in the protective housings.

The label required in this regulation is shown ①.

● CAUTION

  • DO NOT REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE HOUSING USING A SCREWDRIVER.
  • USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS OR PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT IN HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.

text_image CERTIFICATION THIS PRODUCT COMPLIES WITH DHHS RULES 21 CFR SUBCHAPTER J APPLIC- CABLE AT DATE OF MANUFACTURE. TEX COFFORDATION 8.7.3 NANA OHG, MUSASHINO SH, TOKYO, JAPAN MANUFACTURERS Made TO CHINA

For U.S.A.

Optical pickup: Type : SF-P101

Manufacturer : SANYO Electric CO., Ltd.

Laser output : Less than 0.7 mW on the objective lens

Wavelength : 765 -815nm

Read This Before Operating

  • 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. Keep away from such sources that hum, such as transformers or motors.
  • Do not open the 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.
  • Be sure not to handle discs with dirty fingers. Never insert a disc which has a crack on the surface.
  • 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 do not forget to 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.

Beware of condensation

When the player (or a compact disc) is moved from a cold to a warm place or used after a sudden temperature change, there is the danger of condensation. Water vapor in the air could condense on the mechanism or the laser pickup. If droplets of water form on these parts, correct playback will be impossible because the laser cannot read the information from the disc correctly. To prevent this, if you are going to use the player in a condition where condensation could occur, you should leave the player for 1 or 2 hours after plugging it into an AC outlet depending on the amount of condensation. If this is done, the player will stabilize at the temperature of its surroundings.

Handling the Discs

This unit has been designed specifically for reproduction of compact discs bearing the "disc" mark. No other discs can be reproduced.

● Always place the compact disc in the disc tray with the label facing upward. (Compact discs can be played 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
TASCAM CD160 - Handling the Discs - 1

How to hold the disc
TASCAM CD160 - Handling the Discs - 2

● Fingermarks and dust should be carefully wiped off the disc's recorded surface with a soft cloth.

● Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean compact discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable damage to the disc's plastic surface.
● Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid serious 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 can warp the disc.
- Do not stick paper or write anything with a ballpoint pen on the surface of the label side.

IMPORTANT (for U.K. Customers)

The player will skip back one track each time the ◄◀◀ button is pressed. If this button is pressed in the middle of a track, the player will skip back to the beginning of the current track. To make it skip back to the previous track, the button must be pressed twice.

In this way, the player can be returned to the beginning of the first track on the disc.

■Music search using SEARCH buttons (◄◄/►►)

During playback, hold down the ▶ button to move the playing position quickly in the forward direction, and hold down the ◀ button to move quickly in the reverse direction.

During the manual search operation, sound will be audible but the output level will be lowered. This lets you search for any required portion while checking the sound.

When the desired position is reached, release the button to reenter the previous mode.

●Even if the remote control unit is operated within the effective range, remote control operation may be impossible if there are any obstacles between the player and the remote control.

- If the remote control unit is operated near other appliances which generate infrared rays, or if other remote control devices using infrared rays are used near the player, the player may operate incorrectly. In the reverse way, the other appliances may operate incorrectly.

■Battery Installation

natural_image Diagram of a remote control panel with directional arrows indicating movement (no text or symbols)
  1. Remove the battery compartment cover.
  2. Insert two "AA" (R6, SUM-3) dry batteries.

Make sure that the batteries are inserted with their positive ⊕ and negative ⊖ poles positioned correctly.

  1. Close the cover until it clicks.

Battery Replacement

If you notice that the distance between the remote control unit and the player for correct operation becomes shorter, it indicates that the batteries are exhausted. In this case replace the batteries with new ones.

Precautions Concerning Batteries

  • Be sure to insert the batteries with correct positive and negative polarities.
  • Use batteries of the same type. Never use different types of batteries together.
    ●Rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries can be used. Refer to the precautions on their labels.
  • When the remote control unit is not to be used for a long time (more than a month), remove the batteries from the remote control unit to prevent them from leaking. If they leak, wipe away the liquid inside the battery compartment and replace the batteries with new ones.
  • Do not heat or disassemble batteries and never dispose of old batteries by throwing them in a fire.
