TASCAM CD-160MKll 7
1 − Introduction
Precautions and notes for placement and use
The CD-160MKII may be used in most areas, but to main-
tain top performance, and prolong operating life, observe
the following notes, precautions and environmental condi-
tions:
Avoid exposing it to extremes of temperature and
humidity and avoid mechanical shocks and vibration.
Keep the unit away from strong magnetic fields (TV
sets, computer monitors, large electric motors, etc.).
The nominal temperature should be between 5°C and
35°C (41°F and 95°F).
Relative humidity should be 30 to 90 percent.
As the unit may become hot during operation, always
leave sufficient space above the unit for ventilation. Do
not install this unit in a confined space such as a book-
case, and do not put anything on top of the unit.
Avoid installing this unit on top of any heat-generating
electrical device such as a power amplifier.
Make sure that the unit is mounted in a level position for
correct operation.
Do not open the sealed cabinet as this might result in
damage to the circuitry or electrical shocks. If a foreign
object should get inside the unit, contact your supplier

or service agency.
When removing the power plug from the wall outlet,
always pull directory on the plug, never yank the cord.
To keep the laser pickup clean, do not touch it and
always close the disc tray.
As the disc rotates at high speed during playback, do not
lift or move the unit. Doing so may damage the disc or
the laser assembly.
The voltage selector on the rear panel is only available
on units for the North American market. Please set this
to match your local supply. If you are in any doubt in
this matter, consult an electrician.
NOTE
When transporting the unit, always use the origi-
nal packing materials. For this reason, we strongly
recommend that you save all the packing materials
that came with the CD-160MKII, in case you need to
transport it in the future.
In addition, when transporting the unit, you should
tape the disc tray closed, using an adhesive tape
that will not spoil the finish of the unit.

Never use a stabilizer or printable discs
Using commercially available CD stabilizers or printable
recordable discs with this player will damage the mecha-
nism and cause it to malfunction.
NOTE
Never use a disc that has had a stabilizer mounted
to it. The residual adhesive may cause the disc to
stick to the turntable of the CD-160MKll. If it sticks
to the turntable, you will need a technician to get it
out.

Beware of condensation
If the unit (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 oper-
ation impossible. To prevent this, or if this occurs, let the
player sit for one or two hours at the new room temperature
before using.
