or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
apparatus.
11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
12 Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table specied by the manufacturer, or sold with the
apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when

power supply cord that has a grounding plug. The cord
of such a product must be plugged into an AC outlet
that has a protective grounding connection.
If the product uses batteries (including a battery pack
•
or installed batteries), they should not be exposed to
sunshine, fire or excessive heat.
CAUTION for products that use replaceable lithium
•
batteries: there is danger of explosion if a battery is
replaced with an incorrect type of battery. Replace only

CAUTIONS ABOUT BATTERIES
ª
This product uses batteries. Misuse of batteries could
cause a leak, rupture or other trouble. Always abide by the
following precautions when using batteries.
Never recharge non-rechargeable batteries. The
•
batteries could rupture or leak, causing fire or injury.
When installing batteries, pay attention to the polarity
•
indications (plus/minus (+/–) orientation), and
install them correctly in the battery compartment as
indicated. Putting them in backward could make the
batteries rupture or leak, causing fire, injury or stains
around them.
When you store or dispose of batteries, isolate their
•
terminals with insulation tape or something like that to
prevent them from contacting other batteries or metallic
objects.
When throwing used batteries away, follow the
•
disposal instructions indicated on the batteries and the
local disposal laws.
Do not use batteries other than those specified. Do not
•
mix and use new and old batteries or different types of
batteries together. The batteries could rupture or leak,
causing fire, injury or stains around them.
Do not carry or store batteries together with small
•
metal objects. The batteries could short, causing leak,
rupture or other trouble.
Do not heat or disassemble batteries. Do not put them
•
in fire or water. Batteries could rupture or leak, causing
fire, injury or stains around them.
If the battery fluid leaks, wipe away any fluid on
•
the battery case before inserting new batteries. If
the battery fluid gets in an eye, it could cause loss
of eyesight. If fluid does enter an eye, wash it out
thoroughly with clean water without rubbing the eye
and then consult a doctor immediately. If the fluid
gets on a person’s body or clothing, it could cause skin
injuries or burns. If this should happen, wash it off with
clean water and then consult a doctor immediately.
The unit power should be off when you install and
•
replace batteries.
Remove the batteries if you do not plan to use the unit
•
for a long time. Batteries could rupture or leak, causing
fire, injury or stains around them. If the battery fluid
leaks, wipe away any fluid on the battery compartment
before inserting new batteries.
Do not disassemble a battery. The acid inside the
•
battery could harm skin or clothing.

•
1 – Introduction
10 TASCAM MD-CD1MKIII
Places with bad ventilation or high humidity
•
Very dusty locations
•
Make sure that the unit is mounted in a level position
•
for correct operation.
Do not place any object on the unit for heat dissipation.
•
Avoid installing this unit on top of any heat-generating
•
electrical device such as a power amplifier.
Connecting the power
Hold the power cord by the plug when connecting or
•
disconnecting it.
Insert the included power cord into the
• AC IN
connector completely.
Cleaning the unit
To clean the unit, wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth. Do
not wipe with chemical cleaning cloths, benzene, paint
thinner, ethyl alcohol or other chemical agents to clean
the unit as they could damage the surface.
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.
About compact discs
In addition to audio CDs (CD-DA), the unit can play CD-R
and CD-RW discs on which audio CD, MP3, 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.
Avoid getting fingerprints on the signal side (the non-
•
label side). Grime and dust may cause skipping or
malfunction.
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,
•
benzene, paint thinner or other chemical agents to
clean CDs as they could damage the delicate playing
surface. It may cause CDs to become unplayable.
Do not affix any labels or stickers to the label side of
•
the disc and do not use any protective coating spray.
Do not insert discs that have adhesive remaining from
tape or stickers that have been removed. If they are
inserted into the player, they could stick to the internal
mechanism, requiring removal by a technician.
Never use a commercially available CD stabilizer. Using
•
stabilizers with this player will damage the mechanism
and cause it to malfunction.
Do not use cracked discs.
•
Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using non-
•
circular promotional, etc. discs.
Music discs with copy control, a copy-protection
•
system, have been released from several record
companies in an attempt to protect the copyright.
Since some of these discs do not comply with the CD
specifications, they may not be playable on the unit.
Handling of MDs
The MD itself is mounted inside a cartridge. Soiling or
warping of the cartridge could cause malfunction.
To ensure continued enjoyment of the contents of an MD,
please observe the following precautions.
After use, always return an MD to its case.
•
Do not open the shutter and touch the disc inside.
•

CAUTION
When using headphones, take care not to turn the volume
too high. Listening at high volumes for extended periods
of time may result in permanent hearing damage.

operation is performed even if dubbing started with a
fade-in.
NOTE
Dubbing is performed at the specified speed (see

option on the REC submenu
of the MD menu, select the recording mode from the
following choices.
ST: standard stereo

NOTE
In MONO mode, the same signals are output from the
•
left and right channels of the headphone terminal and
rear panel audio output terminal.
In MONO mode, the recording time is twice that in ST
•
mode.
The recording time in LP2 mode is twice that in ST
•

The recording time in LP4 mode is four times that in ST
•
mode.
The remaining MD recording time indicated depends
•
upon the recording mode setting.
Recordings made in different recording modes can be
•
combined on the same disc.
Since a special data compression technology is used
•
for LP4 mode (quarter-time recording for four times
the recording time in stereo), there is the very slight
possibility of spikes of noise being generated. If sound
quality is an important consideration, we do not
recommend the use of the LP4 mode.

REC SPEED?
option on the REC submenu of
the MD menu to select either
NORMAL
