This unit can use SD cards and USB flash drives for playback. A list of SD cards and USB flash drives that have been confirmed for use with this unit can be found on the TEAC Global Site (https://teac-global.com). Check the page for this product. You can also contact TASCAM customer support service.
Precautions for use
SD cards and USB flash drives are delicate media. In order to avoid damaging SD cards and USB flash drives, please take the following precautions when handling them.
p Do not leave them in extremely hot or cold places.
p Do not leave them in extremely humid places.
p Do not let them get wet.
p Do not put things on top of them or twist them.
p Do not hit them.
p Do not remove or insert them during playback, data transmission or other access.
p When transporting them, put them into cases, for example.

Handling discs
p Load discs with their recorded sides down. p Load discs when the disc tray is completely open. p Align discs with the tray guide and place them so they are
level. p Do not touch the recorded (unlabeled) side. Fingerprints, oils
and other substances can cause errors during playback. p If fingerprints or dust adhere to the recorded side of a disc,
wipe it gently with a soft dry cloth from the center towards the outside edge. p Dirt on discs can lower video and sound quality, so clean them and always store them in a clean state. p Do not use any record spray, anti-static solutions, benzene, paint thinner or other chemical agents to clean discs as they could damage the delicate playing surface. It may cause discs to become unplayable. p Do not apply labels or other materials to discs. Do not use discs that have glue or sticky residue from having had tape, stickers or other materials applied to their surface. Such discs could become stuck in the unit or cause it to malfunction. p Never use commercially-available disc stabilizers. Using stabilizers with this player could prevent playback or damage the unit. p Do not use cracked discs. p Do not use discs that are irregularly shaped, including discs shaped like hearts, business cards and octagons because using such discs could cause the unit to malfunction.
p Copy Control CDs have been sold by several record companies in an attempt to protect their copyrights. Since some of these discs do not comply with the CD specifications, they may not be playable on the unit.
NOTE If a disc that cannot be played back or a disc that is upside down is loaded in the unit, “NO DISC” will appear on the display.
ATTENTION i Only load one disc at a time. Loading two or more discs at the
same time could cause malfunction and damage the discs. i Do not push the disc tray in when the power is in standby.
Doing so could cause malfunction.

About the licensing of software used in this product

The software included in this product is comprised of multiple discrete software applications, and the copyrights of each of these belong to various third parties.
This product includes software covered by end-user license agreements (hereafter, “EULA”) stipulated by third parties.
Among these is the GNU General Public License (hereafter, “GPL”) for free executable software applications. As a condition for the distribution of software covered by the GPL, the source code for such software must be made available. If you wish to obtain the source code for such software, you may do so by accessing the following URL and filling out a registration form.

Please understand that we are unable to respond to questions about the source code contents and similar matters.
Source code will not be provided for software covered by EULAs other than the GPL.

Software distributed in accordance with the GPL allows customers to use it without charge, but, to the extent of applicable laws, no explicit or implicit guarantees are provided for such software.
With the exceptions of provisions of applicable laws and written agreements, the copyright holders and those who change and redistribute such software with the permission described above will bear no responsibility for any loss caused by the use of or the inability to use such software. Please read the GPL for details about, for example, conditions for use and provisions that must be followed regarding such software.
Before using software or software components that are included in this product and subject to the GPL, please read the following GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE carefully. Moreover, since the provisions of this license are set by a third party, we provide it in its original language (English).

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
Version 2, June 1991 Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301, USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
Preamble
The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software–to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation’s software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.

Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors’ reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone’s free use or not licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The “Program”, below, refers to any such program or work, and a “work based on the Program” means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term “modification”.) Each licensee is addressed as “you”.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program’s source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appro-
TASCAM BD-MP1 215

priate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machinereadable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable
216 TASCAM BD-MP1

form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
