Cassette tape
For playback, use normal or low-noise tape for the best sound. (Metal
or CrO2 tape is not recommended.) For recording, use only normal tape.
Do not use C-120 tapes, or poor-quality tapes, as they may cause malfunctions.
Before loading a tape into the cassette compartment, tighten the slack with a pen or pencil.
Cassettes have removable tabs which prevent accidental recording or erasing from taking place. Removing the tab will protect the corre­sponding side from being erased. Cover the tab holes with adhesive tape to erase or record again.
Care of compact discs
Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your CD col­lection and player.
Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label side. Signals are read from the non-label side. Do not mark this surface.
Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive mois­ture.
Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on the CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a CD is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the center, along the radius.

Cleaning the lens and tape-handling parts
Do not touch the laser pickup lens. If fingerprints or dust accumulate
on the pickup, clean it gently with a dry cotton swab.
Dirty heads, capstan or pinch roller can cause poor sound and tape jams. Clean these parts with a cotton swab moistened with commer­cial head/pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
After long use, the deck’s heads and capstan may become magne- tized, causing poor sound. Demagnetize these parts once every 30 hours of playing/recording by using a commercial tape head demag­netizer. Read the demagnetizers instructions carefully before use.
Cleaning the cabinet
Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap solution, then wipe with a dry cloth.
Caution:
Do not use chemically treated cleaning cloths or other chemicals.
Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely hu­mid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD pickup, tape heads, etc.). Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction. If this happens, leave the power on with no disc (or cassette) in the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour).

NERGY STAR® Program Information
As an ENERGY STAR ® Partner, SHARP has determined that this product meets the
E
NERGY STAR ® guidelines for energy efficiency. ENERGY STAR® is a U.S.
registered mark.
WHY PURCHASE
E
NERGY STAR® LABELED PRODUCTS?
Many Electrical /Electronic Products use energy both when they are on and when they are off. Americans spend more than $3 billion a year on energy consumed by home electronic products when they are not in use. The new
E
NERGY STAR ® labeled models will reduce that energy leakage by up to 75 percent. Ultimately, this will mean more than $1 billion a year in energy savings for consumers.
The energy savings will help reduce the burning of fossil fuels and the related carbon dioxide pollution that contributes to global warming. If every American family replaced their electronic equipment with
E
NERGY STAR® labeled models, it would reduce
air pollution equivalent to eliminating more than two million cars.
By using
E
NERGY STAR® labeled products, you will save money on your electric
bills and use less energy.
That makes good economic sense and its good for our environment.
