6 TASCAM CD-X1700 DUAL CD PLAYER
1.1 Environmental conditions
The TASCAM CD-X1700 may be used in most
areas, but to maintain top performance, and
prolong operating life, observe the following
environmental conditions:
The nominal temperature should be between 5°C
and 35°C (41°F and 95°F).
Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 degrees non-
condensing.
Make sure that the drive unit is mounted in a level
position for correct operation.
The units should be mounted, using the supplied
rack mounting kits. A typical configuration is
shown below, but other configurations are
possible:
… If the disc trays are more than 5 degrees
away from the horizontal, they will not
open or close.
… Do not install this apparatus in a con-
fined space such as a book case or simi-
lar unit.
1.2 Beware of condensation
If the player (or a compact disc) is moved from a
cold to a warm place, or used after a sudden
temperature change, there is a danger of
condensation; vapor in the air could condense on
the internal mechanism, making correct operation
impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs, leave
the player for one or two hours with the power
turned on, then turn the power off and on again.
NOTE
1.3 Handling of discs
The unit has been designed specifically for
reproduction of discs bearing the mark. No
other discs can be reproduced.
Observe the following:
• Always place the compact discs in the trays with
their label facing upward (compact discs can
only be played 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.
• Finger marks and dust should be carefully wiped
off the disc's recorded surface with a soft cloth.
Unlike conventional records, the compact disc
has no grooves to collect dust and microscopic
debris, so gently wiping with a soft cloth should
remove most particles.
•Wipe in a straight motion from the inside to the
outside of the disc. Small dust particles and light
stains will have absolutely no effect on reproduc-
tion quality.
• Never use such chemicals as record sprays, anti-
static sprays or fluid, benzine or thinner to clean
compact discs. Such chemicals will do irrepara-
ble damage to the disc's plastic surface.
• Discs should be returned to their cases after use
to avoid serious scratches that could cause the
laser pickup to "skip".
• Don't expose discs to direct sunlight or high
humidity and temperature for extended periods.
Long exposure to high temperature can warp the
disc.
• Only use circular compact discs. Avoid using
non-circular promotional, etc. discs.
•To keep the laser pickups clean, don't touch
them. For the same reason, don't leave the disc
trays open unnecessarily.
