    Important Safety Precautions 
    Note for U.K. Customers 
    DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this
    equipment. 
    If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power points in
    your home or the cable is too short to reach a power
    point, then obtain an appropriate safety approved
    extension lead or consult your dealer.
    If nonetheless the mains plug is cut off, remove the fuse
    and dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a possible
    shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains
    supply.
    If this product is not provided with a mains plug, or one
    has to be fitted, then follow the instructions given
    below: 
    IMPORTANT:
     
       
    DO NOT
     
     make any connection to the
    larger terminal which is marked with the letter E or by
    the safety earth symbol  
    ç
     
     or coloured GREEN or
    GREEN-and-YELLOW.
    The wires in the mains lead on this product are coloured
    in accordance with the following code: 
    BLUE : NEUTRAL
    BROWN : LIVE
     
    As these colours may not correspond with the coloured
    markings identifying the terminals in your plug proceed
    as follows:
    The wire which is coloured BLUE must be connected
    to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or
    coloured BLACK.
    The wire which is coloured BROWN must be
    connected to the terminal which is marked with the
    letter L or coloured RED.
    When replacing the fuse only a correctly rated
    approved type should be used and be sure to re-fit the
    fuse cover.
    IF IN DOUBT — CONSULT A COMPETENT
    ELECTRICIAN.

     — All warnings on the product and in the operating
    instructions should be adhered to. 
    4) Follow Instructions 
     — All operating and use instructions should be
    followed. 
    5) Cleaning 
     — Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning.
    Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for clean-
    ing. 
    6) Attachments 
     — Do not use attachments not recommended by the
    product manufacturer as they may cause hazards. 
    7) Water and Moisture 
     — Do not use this product near water — for
    example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet
    basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like. 
    8) Accessories 
     — Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand,
    tripod, bracket, or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury to a
    child or adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart,
    stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold
    with the product. Any mounting of the product should follow the manufac-
    turer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by
    the manufacturer. 
    9) 
     A product and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick
    stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the product and cart
    combination to overturn. 
    10) 
      
    Ventilation 
     — Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ven-
    tilation and to ensure reliable operation of the product  and to protect it
    from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The
    openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa,
    rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be placed in a built-in
    installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided
    or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to. 
    11) Power Sources 
     — This product should be operated only from the
    type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of
    the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local
    power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or
    other sources, refer to the operating instructions. 
    12) Grounding or Polarization 
     — This product may be equipped with
    a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider
    than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This
    is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet,
    try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electri-
    cian to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
    polarized plug. 
    13) Power-Cord Protection 
     — Power-supply cords should be routed so
    that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
    against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
    receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product. 
    14) Outdoor Antenna Grounding 
     — If an outside antenna or cable
    system is connected to the product, be  sure the antenna or cable system is
    grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-
    up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
    70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and
    supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
    unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, con-
    nection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding elec-
    trode.  Note to CATV system installer:
     
    This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to
    Section 820-40 of the NEC which provides guidelines for proper grounding
    and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the
    grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as
    practical. 
    15) Lightning 
     — For added protection for this product during a lightning
    storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time,
    unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system.
    This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line
    surges. 
    16) Power Lines 
     — An outside antenna system should not be located in
    the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits,
    or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an
    outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touch-
    ing such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal. 
    17) Overloading 
     — Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or
    integral convenience receptacles as this can result in risk of fire or electric
    shock. 
    18) Object and Liquid Entry 
     — Never push objects of any kind into
    this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points
    or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill
    liquid of any kind on the product. 
    19) Servicing 
     — Do not attempt to service this product yourself as open-
    ing or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
    hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. 
    20) Damage Requiring Service 
     — Unplug this product from the wall
    outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
    conditions: 
    a) 
    when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged. 
    b) 
    if liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product. 
    c) 
    if the product has been exposed to rain or water. 
    d) 
    if the product does not operate normally by following the operating
    instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
    instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in
    damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
    restore the product to its normal operation. 
    e) 
    if the product has been dropped or damaged in any way. 
    f ) 
    when the product exhibits a distinct change in performance – this
    indicates a need for service. 
    21) Replacement Parts 
     — When replacement  parts are required, be
    sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the
    manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. 
    Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other
    hazards. 
    22) Safety Check 
     — Upon completion of any service or repairs to this
    product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine
    that the product is in proper operating condition. 
    23) Wall or Ceiling Mounting 
     — The product should be mounted to a
    wall or ceiling only  as recommended by the manufacturer.

    1.2 Environmental conditions 
    The TASCAM CD-302 may be used in most areas, 
    but to maintain top performance, and prolong operat-
    ing 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:
    NOTE
     
    If the disc trays are more than 5 degrees away from 
    the horizontal, they will not open or close.

    1.2.1 Beware of condensation 
    If the player (or a compact disc) is moved from a 
    cold to a warm place, or used after a sudden tempera-
    ture 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.
     
    1.2.2 Never use a stabilizer 
    The TASCAM CD-302 has a stabilizer disc built into 
    its drive mechanisms. Using commercially available 
    CD stabilizers with this player will damage the 
    mechanisms and cause them 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 mechanism of the TASCAM CD-302. If it sticks 
    to the mechanism, you will need a technician to get it 
    out. 
    1.2.3 Handling of discs 
    The unit has been designed specifically for reproduc-
    tion 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, hold-
    ing 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 irreparable 
    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.
     
    1.3 Backup memory 
    Each time you turn off the power, the status of the 
    following features are stored into back up memory.
    • Playback mode (Continue, Single, Program)
    • Time mode (Elapsed, remain)
    • Preset functions
    • Contents of Program
    • BANKs A through E
    • TEMPO key ((%, 16%, 32%)
    • INDEX (on/off)
    • LOOP (on/off)
     
    1.4 Anti-shock memory 
    The CD-302 provides 10 seconds’ worth of anti-
    shock memory for each deck. 
     
    1.5 Instant start 
    The CD-302 will start playing from pause mode 
    immediately when the 
     
    PLAY 
     key is pressed, due to 
    the antishock memory function.
