Before using the unit

Read this before attempting any operations < The nominal temperature should be between 5C and 35C (41F and 95F). 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 units 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 records 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. label grooves
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.

< 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.
Caution: < Do not remove or bend the stylus. < To avoid injury, do not touch the needle. < Turn off the units 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.
Installing a new stylus 1. Hold the tip of the stylus and insert the other edge by pressing in the direction B. 2. Push up in the direction C until it locks at the tip.
The replacement stylus for this LP-R400 is an STL-103. Please contact TEAC Parts at (323) 726-0303, extension 840 to order. Or call our automated Service Agency Locator at: (800) 447TEAC for the closest authorized repair company that can replace the stylus for you.
Please use CD, CD-R and CD-RW discs bearing the DIGITAL AUDIO mark. < 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 discs 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.

To attach the turntable cover
1. Slide the hinges on both sides of the rear of the turntable into the hinge fittings as far as they will go. 2. Place the turntable cover hinge fittings over the top portion of the hinges and slide the cover down into place.
To detach the turntable cover
Hold the cover on both sides and gently pull upward to remove it from the hinges.

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 dont work with unfinalized (NO TOC) discs.
How to open/close the turntable cover
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.
To Open: Lift the turntable cover halfway until it stops. < The cover will now stay open. To Close: Slowly lower the cover until it touches the turntable base. Note: Make sure you grasp the cover by the edges to avoid pinching your fingers as it closes.
