SPECIAL NOTES
NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.
The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 3A fuse. Should the
fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS
1362 fu se marke d or and of the same rati ng as
above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug
must be used.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never
use the plug without t he fuse cover fitted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home
not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut-off the
mains pl ug and fit a n appropriat e type.
DANGER:
The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and
the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and disposed of
in a safe manner.
Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet as a serious
electric shock may occur.
To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the
instructions below:
IMPORTANT:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the follo wing code:
Blue : Neutral
Brown : Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this
product 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 plug terminal which is marked N or coloured black.
● The wire which is coloured brown must be connected
to the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red.
Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three pin plug.
Before replacing the plug cover, make sure that:
● If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the
same as that removed from the cut-off plug.
● The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains
lead and not simply over the lead wires.
IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN.

PRECAUTIONS
■General
● Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well
ventilated area and ensure that there is at least 10 cm
(4") of free space along the sides, top and back of the
equipment.
● Do not use oil, solvents, petrol, paint thinners or insecticides on the unit.
● Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher
than 60˚C (140˚F) or to extreme low temperatures.
● Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic
fields, excessive dust, humidity and electronic/electrical
equipment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.) which
generates electrical noise.
● Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it
from the AC socket, as pulling the lead can damage internal wires.
● When cleaning the heads, pinch rollers, etc, remove the
AC power plug from the wall socket as the unit contains
high voltages.
Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result in electric shock. Refer internal service to your local SHARP service facility.
● Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration,
and do not place anything on the top of the unit.
● If the unit does not work properly whilst in use, disconnect
the AC power lead from the AC socket. Plug the AC power
lead back in, and then press the ON/STAND-BY button
to turn the power on.
● If an electrical storm is taking place near you, it is suggested that you disconnect the AC power lead from the
AC socket for safety.
Warning:
The voltage used must be the same as that specified on
this unit. Using this product with a higher voltage other than
which is specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or
other type of accident causing damage. SHARP will not be
held responsible for any damage resulting from use of this
unit with a voltage other than that which is specified.
■ Volume control
The sound level at a given volume setting depends on a
combination of speaker efficiency, location and various other
factors.
It is advisable to avoid exposure to high volume levels, which
occur whilst turning the unit on with the volume control setting up high, or whilst continually listening at high volumes.
■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 centre, along the radius.
NO
YES
Correct
■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, tapes with large diameter reels,
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.
● TAPE 1: Playback only.
TAPE 2: Playback or record.
■ Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside
the cabinet (CD pickup, tape heads, etc.) or on the transmitter LED on the remote control.
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).
Wipe off any condensation on the transmitter LED with a
soft cloth before operating the unit.
