Teac MC-DX25 owner manual MP3 compatibility, Discs that can be played on this unit

Discs

Discs that can be played on this unit:

•Commercial audio CD’s bearing the ‘Compact Disc Digital Audio’ logo:

•Properly finalized CD-R and CD-RW discs

Note:

<Depending on the quality of the disc and/or the condition of the recording, some CD-R 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 load the disc with the label side facing you. (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 with a soft, dry cloth. Never clean the disc using a circular motion.

<Never use such chemicals as record sprays, antistatic sprays or fluid, benzene 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.

<CD-R 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 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-shape, 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 compatibility

<File names of MP3 should be alphanumeric characters. This unit cannot display symbols and full-size or 2 bytes-wide characters (such as Japanese, Chinese, etc.) correctly. Also, be sure to use the file extension ‘.mp3’.

<The disc must be finalized in order to play.

<The CD-ROM must be ISO 9660 compatible.

<When more than 200 files or folders are recorded on the disc, the unit might not be able to play it correctly.

<Mono or stereo MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3 format, 44.1 or 48 kHz, fixed bit-rate.

<Audio encoded at 128 Kbps should sound close to regular audio CD quality. Although this player will play lower bit-rate MP3 tracks, the sound quality becomes noticeably worse at lower bit-rates.
