Note for U.K. Customers

TO THE USER
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer. If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off, remove the fuse and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply. If this product is not provided with a mains plug, or one has to be fitted, then follow the instructions given below:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.

1 Before you startBackup memory
1.2.1 Beware of condensation
If the player (or a compact 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 impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs, leave the player for one or two hours with the power turned on, then turn the power off and on again. Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the outside of the disc. Small dust particles and light stains will have absolutely no effect on reproduction quality. Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or uid, benzine or thinner to clean compact discs. Such chemicals will do irreparable damage to the discs plastic surface. Discs should be returned to their cases after use to avoid serious scratches that could cause the laser pickup to skip. Dont expose discs to direct sunlight or high humidity and temperature for extended periods. Long exposure to high temperature can warp the disc. Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using noncircular promotional, etc. discs.

Never use a stabilizer

The TASCAM CD-302 has a stabilizer disc built into its drive mechanisms. Using commercially available CD stabilizers with this player will damage the mechanisms and cause them to malfunction.
Never use a disc that has had a stabilizer mounted to it. The residual adhesive may cause the disc to stick to the mechanism of the TASCAM CD-302. If it sticks to the mechanism, you will need a technician to get it out.

Handling of discs

The unit has been designed specically for reproduction of discs bearing the mark. No other discs can be reproduced. Observe the following: Always place the compact discs in the trays with their label facing upward (compact discs can only be played 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.

To keep the laser pickups clean, dont touch them. For the same reason, dont leave the disc trays open unnecessarily.

Backup memory

Each time you turn off the power, the status of the following features are stored into back up memory. Playback mode (Continue, Single, Program) Time mode (Elapsed, remain) Preset functions Contents of Program BANKs A through E TEMPO key ((%, 16%, 32%) INDEX (on/off) LOOP (on/off)
Finger marks and dust should be carefully wiped off the discs recorded surface with a soft cloth. Unlike conventional records, the compact disc has no grooves to collect dust and microscopic debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth should remove most particles.

Anti-shock memory

The CD-302 provides 10 seconds worth of antishock memory for each deck.

Instant start

The CD-302 will start playing from pause mode immediately when the PLAY key is pressed, due to the antishock memory function.

3.1 Playback operations

3.2.1 Cross-play
The term cross-playing refers to the stopping of one deck and automatic starting of the other deck.

Playback

To start cross-playing: 1 With one deck playing, and the other stopped, press and hold down the ENTER key of the deck that is stopped. 2 Press the PLAY key of the stopped deck. The deck currently playing back will stop, and the deck whose keys have been pressed will start playback.
Load a disc in the player, and press the PLAY/PAUSE key. The PLAY/PAUSE key lights in playback mode.
If you press the PLAY/PAUSE key during playback, the unit enters pause mode, and the PLAY/PAUSE key starts blinking.
The CD-302 has no STOP key. If you have turned on the Direct mode (preset function 20), you can press the OPEN key (on the main unit or on the remote control unit) and eject the disc even during playback.

Cueing

Play modes
If a cue point has been stored, press the CUE key to locate to the cue point, and pause there. To test playback from the cue point, press and hold down the CUE key. When the CUE key is released, the playback position will return to the cue point and re-enter pause mode. There are two ways to set the cue point. Choose the way to set the cue point following the procedure below: 1 Press the PRESET key.
Press the SINGLE key, to select between the following play modes: all tracks playback single track playback programmed playback (up to 30 tracks can be entered)

If you select the PLAY key mode (PLY (PLY) is chosen as the cue mode value), the last playback point is captured and used as the as the cue point. If you select the CUE key mode (CUE (CUE) is chosen as the cue mode value), the operation is a little different. When the unit is paused, and searching is done using the JOG dial or the SEARCH keys, the CUE key will ash. Pressing the CUE key will store the current position as the cue point.
2 Select 03 JOG (JOG) using the dial or numeric keys. 3 Press the ENTER key. 4 Select the value (frames per rotation). 5 Press the ENTER key.
Cueing using the SEARCH keys
You can also cue to frame accuracy, using the SEARCH keys to locate the playback point while the unit is in pause mode.
Cueing using the numeric keys
You can also cue to any point using the numeric keys. The keys are used to enter the following values in order: track number, minutes, seconds and frames. 1 When you have entered the value, press the PLAY/PAUSE key. The unit starts playback from the input point. If all the values are not entered, the other values are set to zero. For example, if you only enter the track number, minutes and seconds, the frames eld will be set to 00, which means that the playback will start from the exact start of that second. If you make an entry containing a mistake, the display blinks to show this. Use the CLEAR key to clear and cancel entries containing mistakes.
You can also set the cue point using the memory function. (see 4.10, Memories)
The cue point cannot be updated during A-B LOOP play.

Auto Cue

The auto cue function allows searching the track and auto-locating to the point where the audio level rst goes above a set threshold level. When this point is reached, the unit enters pause mode. Select the threshold level can be selected from:
OFF, 72, 66, 60, 54, and 35 dB.
When the auto cue function is on, the AUTO CUE indicator in the display lights. 1 Press the PRESET key. 2 Select 15 A/CUE (A_CUE) using the dial or numeric keys. 3 Press the ENTER key. 4 Select the threshold value to be used for the auto cue function. 5 Press the ENTER key.

Cueing using the JOG dial
You can directly cue to any point using the JOG dial by frame accuracy, while the unit is in pause mode. You can select the resolution of the dial so that one rotation of the dial is equivalent to either 9, 18, or 36 frames. 1 Press the PRESET key.

If the Direct mode (preset function 20) is turned off, the loop points can be captured only when both the A and B keys are turned off. If the loop points have already been set, these points must be cleared before the new locations are memorized.
If the Direct mode (preset function 20) is turned on, the loop points can be set when the LOOP key is unlit.
If Direct mode (preset function 20) is turned on, pressing either the A or B key will set the new loop point directly.
