TASCAM CD-200iL
1 – Introduction
Precautions for placement
• The operating temperature should be between 5°C and
35°C (41°F and 95°F).
• Do not place the unit in the following types of locations.
Doing so could degrade the sound quality or cause
malfunction.
Places with frequent vibrations
Near windows or in other places with direct exposure to
sunlight
Near heating equipment and other extremely hot places
Extremely cold places
Very humid places and places with poor ventilation
Very dusty places
• Place the unit so that is level.
• In order to assure good heat dispersion, do not place
anything on top of the unit.
• Avoid installing this unit on top of any heat-generating
electrical device such as a power amplifier.
Power supply
Connect the unit to the standard power outlet. Hold the plug
when connecting and disconnecting the power cord.
Beware of condensation
If the unit is moved from a cold to a warm place, or used
immediately after a cold room has been heated or otherwise
exposed to a sudden temperature change, condensation could
occur. Should this happen, leave the unit for one or two hours
before turning the unit on.
Cleaning the unit
To clean the unit, wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth. Do not
wipe with chemical cleaning cloths, paint thinner, ethyl alcohol
or other chemical agents to clean the unit as they could damage
the surface.
Once every five years, please contact the retailer where you
purchased the unit or a TASCAM service center for internal
cleaning. If the unit is not cleaned for a long time and dust is
allowed to accumulate inside it, fire or malfunction could result.
Cleaning is more effective when conducted before the humid
season. Please check with us about the cost of internal cleaning.
About discs
In addition to audio CDs (CD-DA), the CD-200iL can play CD-R
and CD-RW discs on which audio CD, MP3, MP2 or WAV format
files are recorded. The CD player can also play 3-inch CDs.
Handling of compact discs
• Always place the compact discs in the trays with their label
facing upward.
• To remove a disc from its case, press down on the center of
the disc holder, then lift the disc out, holding it carefully by
the edges.
• Do not touch the signal side (the unlabeled side).
Fingerprints, oils and other substances can cause errors
during playing.
• To clean the signal side of a disc, wipe gently with a soft
dry cloth from the center towards the outside edge. Dirt on
discs can lower the sound quality, so clean them and always
store them in a clean state.
• Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions, paint
thinner or other chemical agents to clean CDs. This could
damage the delicate playing surface and cause CDs to
become unplayable.
• Do not attach labels or anything else to discs. Do not use
discs that have residue from, for example, tape or stickers
that have been removed from the disc surface. Do not use
discs that have exposed glue around the edges of stickers,
for example. Loading such discs in the unit could cause
them to become stuck or cause the unit to malfunction.
• Never use commercially-available CD stabilizers. Their
use could make playback impossible or cause the unit to
malfunction.
• Do not use cracked discs.
• Only use circular compact discs. Do not use non-circular
promotional, etc. discs.
• Some record companies sell copy-protected discs or
copy-controlled discs that may not play back correctly in
this unit. Since such discs may not conform with the CD
standard, do not use them in this unit.
• If you experience problems with such non-standard discs,
you should contact the producers of the disc.
