Special notes

NOTES FOR USERS IN THE U.K. AND IRELAND

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 AST A approved BS 1362 fuse marked
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 the 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 plug and fit an appropriate
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:

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 termi-

nal which is marked L or coloured red.

or and of the same rating as

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.

Precautions

General

Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well-ventilated area and ensure

that there is as least 20 cm (8") of free space along the sides, top and back of the
unit.

20 cm (8”) 20 cm (8”)

Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration.
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.
Do not place anything on top of the unit.
Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 60°C (140°F) or to

extremely low temperatures.
If your system does not work properly, disconnect the AC power lead from the AC

socket. Plug the AC power lead back in, and then turn on your system.
In case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for safety.
Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it from the AC socket, as

pulling the lead can damage internal wires.

Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result in electric shock. Refer

internal service to your local SHARP service facility.

The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with

items, such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the appara-

tus.
Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of battery disposal.
The apparatus is designed for use in moderate climate.
This unit should only be used within the range of 5°C - 35°C (41°F - 95°F).

Warning:

The voltage used must be the same as that specified on this unit.
Using this product with a higher voltage other than that 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.

20 cm (8”)

20 cm (8”)

Volume control

The sound level at a given volume setting depends on speaker efficiency , location and
various other factors.
It is advisable to avoid exposure to high volume levels, which occurs whilst turning the
unit on with the volume control setting up high, or whilst continually listening at high
volumes.

If you use higher volume, timer indicator flashes and the equipment does not work.
It may malfunction (see page 72).
In this case, listen at a lower volume.

Care of DVD/CD discs

DVD/CD 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 DVD/CD collection and
player.

Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label side from which
signals are read.
Do not mark this surface.
Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive moisture.
Always hold the DVD/CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on the DVD/
CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a DVD/CD is dirty or does not play properly,
clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the centre, along the radius.

Dynamic range setting

DVD discs have a wider dynamic range (sound volume range) than existing VHS video
tapes or CD discs. If they are played in home systems, there may be too much differ­ence between the loud and quiet sounds. Therefore, if the volume is set so that the
quiet sounds can be heard clearly, the loud sounds may be far too loud.
On the other hand, if the volume is set so that the loud sounds are not too loud, you
may not be able to hear the quiet sounds. Three settings are available to control the
dynamic range easily.

1 Press the SP MENU button repeatedly whilst pressing down the SHIFT but-

ton to select “D-RANGE”.

2 Within 8 seconds, press the or button.
3 Within 8 seconds, press the or button to select “MAX”, “STD” or “MIN”.

MAX: This setting does not compress the dynamic range of the Dolby digital signal,

allowing you to enjoy the full, powerful sound of Dolby encoded digital sig­nals.

STD: This setting compresses the dynamic range, and may produce a more ap-

propriate volume range for home use.

46

The speaker level can be adjusted within the range of +10dB to –10dB at 1dB
intervals.

Notes:

When the surround mode is not “NORMAL”, no test tone will be output from any
speakers.
If “NO” is selected for any individual speaker’s size setting (page 43), the test tone
will not be heard from that speaker.
Note that the front left and front right speaker levels cannot be adjusted using this
method.
If the subwoofer on a front speaker is set to “EXT” in the speaker size setting proce­dure, no sound is emitted from it.

ENGLISH

MIN: This setting compresses the dynamic range, allowing you to enjoy movies at

a lower volume.

Dolby Pro Logic Surround:

This refers to the Dolby Surround sound decoder system which is used for movies.
Using 4 channels, the sound effects, dialog, sound direction, music, etc. are all repro­duced more realistically. Dolby Pro Logic Surround makes the location and movement
of sounds much more natural than the original Dolby Surround system. Y ou can enjoy
a realistic, powerful feeling like being at a live performance or as if you were at a movie
theater or in a concert hall. In order to enjoy this effect, you need at least one pair of
surround speakers.

Dolby Digital:

This is the new digital surround system that was created to reproduce theatre quality
stereophonic Dolby Surround sound at home. Films are now recorded using the 5.1
channel system. Dolby Digital can handle the original soundtrack without modification,
allowing you to enjoy the sound field created by the film maker at home.

Dolby Surround:

This is the encoding/decoding system for general-purpose Dolby Surround. When the
sound from films recorded in Dolby Surround are reproduced, you will have the feeling
of being at a live performance, as if the action is taking place right in front of you.

LFE (Low Frequency Effect):

This refers to the special low-frequency sound effects used in Dolby Digital recordings.
When a signal containing LFE encoding is played by this unit, “LFE” will appear in the
display.

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation):

This is a recording/transmission system used for digital audio signals. This unit can
handle sampling frequencies of 32 kHz, 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz.

Subwoofer:

The subwoofer is a special speaker used to emphasise bass sounds.
In Dolby Digital, this speaker reproduces the LFE signals as well as the low-frequency
signals being sent to the front, centre and surround speakers.
In Dolby Pro Logic, this speaker reproduces the low-frequency signals sent to the front
and centre speakers.
It also reproduces low frequency sounds from ordinary stereo recordings.

Using the radio data system (RDS)

CD-DVD500H

RDS is a broadcasting service which a growing number of FM stations provide.
These FM stations send additional signals along with their regular programme
signals. They send their station names, and information about the type of
programme such as sports or music, etc.

When tuned to an RDS station, “RDS” and the station name will be displayed.
“TP” (Traffic Programme) will appear on the display when the received broadcast car­ries traffic information, and “TA” (Traffic Announcement) will appear whilst a traffic in­formation is on air (see page 61).
“EON” will appear whilst the EON (Enhanced Other Networks information) data is broad­cast.
“PTYI” (Dynamic PTY Indicator) will appear whilst the Dynamic PTY station is received.
“RT” (Radio Text) will appear whilst the unit receives the Radio text data.

Information provided by RDS

Each time the DISP MODE button is pressed, the display will switch as follows:

Station name (PS)

Programme type (PTY)

appear and the unit will return to the original station.
If the signal from the ON station the unit switched to is very weak, the unit will
search for another station with the strongest signal. However, if the signals from all
stations are weak or not good (due to electrical noise), the unit displays “WEAK
SIG” and returns to the original station.

Note:

No sound is heard from the external subwoofer when in the Bypass/Virtual mode.

Headphones

Before plugging in or unplugging the headphones, reduce the volume.
Be sure your headphones have a 3.5 mm (1/8") diameter plug and are between 16
ohms and 50 ohms impedance. The recommended impedance is 32 ohms.
Plugging in the headphones disconnects the speakers automatically. Adjust the
volume using the VOLUME control.

Note:

It is not possible to use the Normal/Phantom or Dolby Digital surround mode when
using your headphones.
When headphones are connected to the headphone socket, the Normal/Phantom mode
will be cancelled. (The unit will be set to the Bypass mode automatically.)

Enjoying 2 channel audio with digital con­nection

Digital connection to audio equipment or MD player without a Dolby digital decoder

Audio CD
Play the disc as you normally would, with the audio mode set (see page 34). With a
digital connection, audio of a disc recorded with DTS sounds abnormal in this case.
DVD video disc
The digital connection is the connection to audio equipment that is not equipped
with a decoder. Because of this, it cannot produce 5.1 channel sound when playing
a DVD whose audio track is recorded in Dolby Digital (5.1 channel), Dolby Sur­round (Pro Logic), DTS or MPEG audio. T o play the audio on such a DVD, you must
configure a digital connection with an audio processor or amplifier equipped with a
decoder for the type of audio on the DVD. If you do not have such an audio proces­sor or amplifier, use a 2-channel analogue (Down Mix) connection. Discs recorded
with Linear PCM audio should play normally using the digital connection.

Digital connection to an MD to record a CD

When you are using a digital connection to record the contents of a CD on an MD, the
track numbers of the CD may not match the track numbers recorded on the MD.

After making the connection

Set the “ DIGITAL” or “MPEG” in “AUDIO SETUP” to “D-PCM” or “PCM” (see page 24).

Enjoying Dolby Digital (5.1 channel), DTS
and MPEG audio with digital connection

Connecting an amplifier with a Dolby Digital/DTS/MPEG audio digital surround pro­cessor or a Dolby Digital/DTS/MPEG audio digital surround decoder to this unit’s
optical digital socket provides richer, more powerful audio play.
To use DTS digital surround, use the disc menu screen (page 40) or the function
control screen (page 31) to select DTS audio.

After making the connection

Set the “ DIGITAL” or “MPEG” in “AUDIO SETUP ” to “BITSTREAM” (see page 24).

Notes:

To play a disc recorded with DTS, you need to use a DTS processor or amplifier.
This connection is not possible if the processor or amplifier to which you want to
connect does not have an optical digital input socket.
Refer to the operation manual for the processor or amplifier for information about
connecting to it.

playback is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensation on the transmitter with
a soft cloth before operating the unit.

■ If trouble occurs

When this product is subjected to strong external interference (mechanical shock, ex­cessive static electricity, abnormal supply voltage due to lightning, etc.) or if it is oper-

–

ated incorrectly, it may malfunction.

If such a problem occurs, do the following:

1. Set the unit to the stand-by mode and turn the power on again.

2. If the unit is not restored in the previous operation, unplug and plug in the
