Frequently Asked Questions - GF-350 TEAC

How do I connect the TEAC GF-350 to a mixer?

Use the RCA output cables to connect the turntable's PHONO/LINE output to a mixer's PHONO or LINE input. Ensure the preamp switch is set correctly (LINE for mixers without phono preamp).

What should I do if the turntable does not spin?

Check the power connection and ensure the power switch is on. Verify the belt (if applicable) or motor drive. For direct drive models, inspect the motor coil; contact support if issue persists.

How do I adjust the pitch on the GF-350?

Use the pitch slider to adjust speed. The LED indicator shows pitch percentage. Fine-tune using the pitch trim knob if available.

Can I replace the cartridge on the GF-350?

Yes, the GF-350 accepts standard half-inch mount cartridges. Remove the headshell, unscrew the old cartridge, and install a new one. Adjust the tracking force and anti-skate accordingly.

What is the correct tracking force for the GF-350?

The recommended tracking force is typically between 1.5g and 3.0g depending on the cartridge. Refer to your cartridge manual for exact value. Set using the counterweight.

How do I clean the stylus?

Use a stylus cleaning brush or a stylus cleaning fluid. Gently brush from back to front. Avoid touching the cantilever.

Why is there a humming noise from the turntable?

Hum can occur due to grounding issues. Ensure the ground wire (usually a green cable) is attached to the mixer's ground terminal. Also check for interference from nearby electronics.

How do I change the 45 RPM adapter?

Simply place the 45 RPM adapter over the center spindle. For 45 RPM records, the adapter ensures proper centering. Store it in the designated slot when not in use.

What is the anti-skate setting?

Set the anti-skate dial to the same value as the tracking force. This prevents the tonearm from pulling outward or inward during playback.

Is the GF-350 suitable for scratching?

The GF-350 is designed for general DJ use. For scratching, it requires a high-torque direct drive motor and a sturdy tonearm. While adequate for basic scratching, dedicated models may offer better torque.

Read this before attempting any operations

●The nominal temperature should be between 5^ C and 35^ C ( 41^ F and 95^ F). The CD-RW recorder is more sensitive to extremes of temperature than ordinary CD players.
●Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 degrees noncondensing.
- As the unit may become warm during operation, always leave 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.
- 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 unit, contact your dealer or service company.
- 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 unit.

WHEN MOVING THIS UNIT

When changing the unit's location or packing the unit for moving, be sure to remove the record or disc. Moving this unit with the record or disc loaded may result in damage to this unit. If the unit is to be packed and moved a great distance, it is also advisable to tighten the turntable transport locking screw. See Page 9 for instructions.

Handling Records

- Do not touch the record's grooves. Only handle records, by the edges or the label, 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 temperature 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.

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.

How to Replace the Stylus

The stylus should last about 50 hours under normal use. However, it is recommended that the stylus be replaced as soon as you notice a change in sound quality.

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

Caution:

• Do not remove or bend the stylus.
  ●To avoid injury, do not touch the needle.
• Turn off the unit's power before you replace the stylus.
• Keep out of the reach of children.
• Handle with care, as the stylus is delicate. Use of a bent or broken stylus may damage the record and cause the turntable to malfunction.
• 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 the stylus and push down to the direction "A".
2. Remove the stylus by pulling it forward and down.

Please use CD, CD-R and CD-RW discs bearing the "DIGITAL AUDIO" mark.

CD

CD-R CD-RW

This unit CANNOT RECORD CD-R and CD-RW discs designed for computer systems.

In this manual, although we refer to "CD-R" and CD-RW" discs, we always mean "CD-R Digital Audio" and "CD-RW Digital Audio", even when this is not explicitly stated.

• CD-R and CD-RW discs designed for computer systems and properly recorded by a computer are playable, but this unit cannot record, finalize nor erase them.
• Depending on the quality of the disc and/or the condition of the recording, some CD-R/CD-RW discs may not be playable.
• 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 (from the center hole outward towards the outer edge) 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.
• Do not play any disc that is warped, deformed or damaged. Playing such discs may cause irreparable harm to the playing mechanisms.
• CD-R and CD-RW 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 away from sources of heat such as radiators or heat-generating electrical devices.
• Printable CD-R and CD-RW 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 CDs with an irregular shape (octagonal, heart shaped, business card size, etc.). CDs of this sort can damage the unit:

Five identical abstract diagrams showing a heart shape with cross marks, each containing a circle and an X symbol (no text or labels)

- If you are in any doubt as to the care and handling of a CDR/CD-RW disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly.

Remote Control Unit

About CD-R and CD-RW discs

CD-R discs can be recorded once only. Once they have been used for recording, they cannot be erased or re-recorded.

However, if space is available on the disc (and the disc has not been finalized), additional material can be recorded.

By contrast, a CD-RW disc can be used in much the same way as a CD-R disc, but the last track or tracks recorded can be erased, and the space on the disc can be re-used for other recordings.

However, you should note that an audio CD created using a CD-RW disc may not play back satisfactorily on every audio CD player.

CD-R, by contrast, may be played satisfactorily on the majority of audio CD players.

Finalizing

Although audio data may be written on a CD-R or CD-RW disc, a standard CD player will not be able to play back the audio until a final table of contents (TOC) has been written at the start of the disc.

The process of writing this table of contents is known as "finalizing". Once this has been done, no further data can be written to the disk.

Note that a CD-RW disc that has been finalized can be "unfinalized". This allows further tracks to be recorded to the disc, provided that there is space on the disc.

- Repeat, shuffle and programmed playback don't work with unfinalized (NO TOC) discs.

Recordable discs

In this manual, we use the term "recordable" disc to describe a CD-R or CD-RW disc that has not been finalized, and has enough space to record.

The provided Remote Control Unit allows the unit to be operated from a distance.

When operating the remote control unit, point it towards the REMOTE SENSOR on the front panel of the unit.

●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 unit 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 unit, it may operate incorrectly. Conversely, the other appliances may operate incorrectly.

Battery Installation

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.
3 Close the cover.

Battery Replacement

If the distance required between the remote control unit and main unit decreases, 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.

Before you start recording, make sure that you understand the following points:

●The unit requires Digital Audio CD-R or CD-RW media for recording. Computer CD-R or CD-RW discs do not work with this unit.
- Once you have recorded on a CD-R disc, the data cannot be erased from it.
- You can add tracks to an unfinalized recordable disc. Once finalized, a CD-R disc is "fixed" and behaves in the same way as a CD. Finalized CD-RW discs, however, can be unfinalized, erased and re-recorded.
- Due to the system restrictions of CD, a track cannot be less than four seconds in length, and there can be a maximum of 99 tracks on an audio CD.
- If the STOP button or PAUSE button is pressed within four seconds from the beginning of a track, the unit continues to record no signal and stops when the track's length reaches four seconds.
- When the recording is finished, "REC" and "----" blink for a few seconds, and the unit then goes into stop mode. Do not apply shock or vibration to the unit during recording.
- If the disc reaches the end during recording, the unit will start a fade-out over a few seconds.

When the fade-out has finished, the unit finalizes the disc automatically and stops.

- If the disc reaches the end of the 99th track during recording, the unit finalizes the disc automatically and stops.

●The recording time of a track may differ slightly from the original one.

Serial Copy Management System

This unit is in compliance with the Serial Copy Management System standard. This standard has been established to restrict digital-to-digital copying to only the first generation. The basic rules governing this system are as follows:

Rule 1

A digital recording is possible from a digital source such as a CD, DAT or MD onto a recordable CD-R, CD-RW, MD or DAT through a digital input connection. However, further digital to- digital recording is prohibited for the second and later generations.

Rule 2

When an analog source such as an analog disc or FM broadcast is digitally recorded by using a CD-R, CD-RW, MD or DAT, this recorded source can be digitally recorded on another CD-R, CD-RW, MD or DAT. However, further digital copying is prohibited.

Audio from the PHONO or AUX sources can be recorded on the CD recorder.

1 Press the PHONO/AUX button once or twice to select the source to be recorded.

To record a record, select PHONO.

To record an external source connected to the AUX IN jacks, select AUX.

2 Load a recordable CD-R or CD-RW disc into the unit.

Press the OPEN/CLOSE button (▲), place a disc on the disc tray with the printed label side up, and then press the OPEN/CLOSE button (▲) to close the disc tray.

Make sure "NO TOC" and "CD-R" (or "CD-RW") indicators lights on the display, or the RECORD button in step 4 will not work.

E Select the mode of track number assignment using the MANUAL/AUTO REC button of the remote control unit.

When the MANUAL/AUTO REC button is pressed once, the current mode is displayed. Press the MANUAL/AUTO REC button repeatedly to select any other mode.

-- (MANUAL)

The unit doesn't divide tracks.

Use the TRACK INCREMENT button to divide tracks.

MANUAL is recommended for recording an analog source such as a record.

-20db, -30db or -40db (AUTO REC)

The unit will automatically insert a track division in the recorded material when the sound level has dropped below the threshold for more than 2 seconds, and sound has re-started.

"-20db" takes a louder signal to trigger the track increment. "-40db" means that a relatively quiet signal will trigger the track increment. "-40db" is suitable for recording a noiseless source such as a CD.

●AUTO REC may not work properly with analog sources that contain low-level noises.

●The AUTO TRACK indicator lights when -20dB, -30dB or -40dB is selected.

●The default setting is MANUAL (off). When the unit is turned on, the setting is automatically reset to MANUAL (off).

- The MANUAL/AUTO REC button doesn't work during recording or in the record pause mode.

4 Press the RECORD button.

The red indicator on the RECORD button lights.

The unit enters record pause mode.

In record pause mode, "REC" indicator blinks and the Ⅱ indicator lights on the display.

- No button will work while "busy" is displayed. Wait a few seconds until "busy" disappears from the display.

- If the red indicator on the RECORD button doesn't light, reload a recordable disc, wait a few seconds until "NO TOC" and "CD-R" (or "CD-RW") indicators light on the display, and press the RECORD button again.

5 If necessary, adjust the recording level using the REC LEVEL knob.

Play the source to be recorded and adjust the recording level so that the loudest sound does not exceed the "OVER" indicator on the peak level meter.

The level can be adjusted from -00 ( - ) dB to 18 dB.

●The default setting is 0 dB. When the unit is turned on, or when the STOP button is pressed, the setting is automatically reset to 0 dB.

6 If PHONO is selected in step 1 gently lower the tone arm onto the edge of the record (or the track to be recorded).

When the turntable is stopped, the PLAY or the PAUSE button will not work and you cannot start recording.

7 Press the PLAY or the PAUSE button to start recording.

8 If AUX is selected in step 1 play the source to be recorded.

When the playback of the source has been finished, press the STOP button to stop recording.

When the rotation of the turntable stops, the recording will stop automatically.

But to prevent unwanted noise from the tone arm being recorded, stop the recording manually by using the STOP button.

Recording 2

A To stop recording

Press the STOP button (■) to stop recording.

B To suspend recording temporarily (pause mode)

Press the PAUSE button (Ⅱ). "busy" briefly appears on the display, and the recording is paused. To restart recording, press the PLAY button (▶) or the PAUSE button (Ⅲ).

• You cannot restart recording while "busy" is displayed.
• Remember that every time recording is paused or stopped, a new track number will always be assigned. It is not possible to record in two "stages" within one track.

C Manual track division

It is possible to divide the recording into tracks while recording.

While recording is taking place, press the TRACK INCREMENT button. The current track number will be incremented by one.

●The TRACK INCREMENT button works regardless of the MANUAL/AUTO REC setting.

This section deals with the actions taken after recording. Once finalized, CD-R discs are truly final. No more tracks can be recorded on them. By contrast, CD-RW discs can be "unfinalized", and if there is space, further material can be recorded on them.

Finalizing

As has been explained earlier, in order for a disc to become a standard CD, it must have a Table of Contents (TOC) written to it. This process is known as finalizing.

1 Press the CD button to select "CD".

PHONO/AUX

FM/AM

CD

2 Load an unfinalized (recordable) disc.

3 Press the FINALIZE button in the stop mode.

"FIn--d" appears on the display.

- To cancel the finalizing process, press the STOP button (■).

4 Press the PLAY (▶) button to start finalizing.

"NO TOC" and "REC" indicators blink, and the remaining time for the finalizing operation appears in the display.

When the operation has been finished, the NO TOC indicator turns off and the display returns to the track/time display.

During finalizing, no button works.

Never turn the power off nor unplug the power cord.

- Although finalized CD-R discs may be played on ordinary CD players, remember that finalized CD-RW discs may not play on ordinary CD players.

It is possible to erase the last recorded track. It is also possible to erase a whole disc.

Erase procedures are possible only on an unfinalized CD-RW disc. If a CD-RW disc has been finalized, unfinalize it prior to erasure. Remember that it is not possible to perform any erase or unfinalize procedures on a CD-R disc.

"Un Fln" (unfinalize) appears when a finalized disc is loaded.

"Er" and the last track number appear when the disc hasn't been finalized. Each time the ERASE button is pressed, the display changes as follows:

"Er" and the number of the last track recorded on the disc Select this to erase the last track on the disc.

●This will not appear when only one track is recorded on the disc.

Er ALL

Select this to erase all the tracks.

- To cancel the erasing or unfinalizing process, press the STOP button (■).

4 Press the PLAY button (▶) to start erasing or unfinalizing.

The remaining time for the operation appears in the display. When the operation has been finished, the display returns to the track/time display.

During erasing/unfinalizing, no buttons will work. Never turn the power off nor unplug the power cord.

- This operation cannot be undone. If you are going to erase a track or tracks, make sure that they are recordings that you really want to erase.

Beware of condensation

When the unit (or a record/disc) is moved from a cold to a warm place, or used after a sudden temperature change, there is the 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 a diluted mild liquid soap. Be sure to remove any excess liquid 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.
