CAUTION

Because the CD-VT1MKII is equipped with special functions such as key change and effects, the battery life is shorter compared with standard portable CD players.

The length of battery life in CD-VT1MKII is affected by both the environment and the number of functions in use. Factors that af- fect battery life include temperature, humid- ity, the number of special functions used, and so on.

Under some circumstances, there may not be enough power in the batteries to power the CD-VT1MKII, despite the battery power indi- cation on the display. If this happens, change the batteries, or use an AC adapter.

Always dispose of used batteries as recom- mended by your local authorities.

Operation using an AC adapter

Connect a TASCAM PS-PS5 AC adapter (sold separately) to the DC IN jack at the back of the CD-VT1MKII.

Insert the plug of the AC adapter into a domestic AC power outlet. Make sure that the voltage of the outlet corre- sponds to that marked on the adapter.

WARNING

Use only a PS-PS5 AC adapter with your CD- VT1MKII. Using another type of AC adapter may damage your CD-VT1MKII. N

Remove the batteries before operating the CD-VT1MKII with an AC adapter. There is a possibility of slight noise if you use the unit with an AC adapter while the batteries are

inside. If you plug in an AC adapter but have forgotten to take out the batteries, turn the power off using the POWER switch, and take out the batteries. Likewise, turn the power off before you change between using the batteries and using the AC adapter.

Unplug the AC adapter from the domestic AC power outlet when you are not using the CD-VT1MKII.

Settings may not be properly saved if you turn the power off immediately after insert- ing a CD or changing settings. If settings are not saved properly, the system may not start with the last settings and instead will start using the default values.

Switching the unit on and off

Use the POWER switch to turn the power to the whole unit on and off.
