- Properly finalized CD-R and CD-RW discs
- MP3/WMA CDs
Note:
- 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.
- If the disc becomes dirty, wipe the surface radially from the center hole outward towards the outer edge with a soft and dry cloth.
-

-
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 which is 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 irregular shape CDs (octagonal, heart shaped, business card size, 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/CD-RW disc, read the precautions supplied with the disc, or contact the disc manufacturer directly.
MP3 and WMA
- This unit can play MP3 files recorded in various external USB storage devices such as USB flash memory, MP3 player or HDD.
The HDD must be formatted FAT 16 or FAT 32, but not NTFS. - When more than 2000 files are recorded on the USB memory, the unit might not be able to play them correctly.
- File names of MP3 or WMA should be alphanumeric characters. This unit cannot display symbols and full-size or double-byte characters (such as Japanese, Chinese, etc.) correctly. Also, be sure to use the file extension. ("mp3" for MP3 files, "wma" for WMA files.)

Connecting Antennas (AM/FM)
AM Indoor Loop Antenna
The high-performance AM loop antenna provided with this unit is sufficient for good reception in most areas.
To stand the loop antenna on a surface, fix the claw to the slot in the antenna base.
Connect the loop antenna's wires to the AM antenna terminals.
Place the antenna on a shelf or hang it on a window frame, etc., in the direction which gives the best reception. Keep all other wires such as power cords, speaker wires or interconnect wires as far away as possible from the antenna.
- If the AM loop antenna provided does not deliver sufficient reception (often due to being too far from the transmitter or in a concrete building, etc.), it may be necessary to use an AM outdoor antenna.
Use either a high quality commercially available AM antenna or, if not available, an insulated wire more than 5m long. Strip one end, and connect this to the terminal as shown.
The antenna wire should be fitted outdoors or indoors near a window. For better reception, connect the GND terminal to a reliable ground.
Note:
Even when using an AM outdoor antenna, do not disconnect the AM loop antenna.
FM Indoor Antenna
Connect the lead-type FM antenna to the FM 75Ω socket, extend the lead and tune in your favourite station (see page 30). Adjust the antenna in a suitable location like a window frame or wall until the reception is best and then affix the antenna in that position using thumb tacks, push pins or any other suitable means.
FM Outdoor Antenna
In an area where FM signals are weak, it may be necessary to use an FM outdoor antenna.
Generally, a 3-element antenna will be sufficient; if you live in an area where the FM signals are particularly weak, it may be necessary to use one with 5 or more elements.
- Disconnect the FM indoor antenna when using an outdoor antenna.
Speaker Connections
A Speaker Connections
CR-H500NT's (positive) terminals are red (for the right speaker) and white (for the left speaker.) The (negative) terminals are black.
