General Information

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 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 wall socket. Plug the AC power lead back in, and
then turn on your system.

 No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be

placed on the apparatus.

 Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of battery

disposal.

 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.

 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.

 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 generate electrical noise.

 In case of an electrical storm, unplug the

unit for safety.

/

 Hold the AC power plug by the head when

removing it from the wall 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.

CD or MP3/WMA disc Playback

Listening to a CD or MP3/WMA disc

This system can play back a standard CD, CD-R/RW in the CD format
and CD-R/RW with MP3 or WMA files, but cannot record on them.
Some audio CD-R and CD-RW discs may not be playable due to the

MP3 is a form of compression. It is an acronym which stands
for MPEG Audio Layer 3.
MP3 is a type of audio code which is processed by significant
compression from the original audio source with very little loss
in sound quality.

VBR files.

 During VBR file playback, time counter in the display may differ

from its actual playback time.

WMA:
WMA files are Advanced System Format files that include audio
files which are compressed with Windows Media Audio codec.
WMA is developed by Microsoft as an audio format file for Win­dows Media Player.

 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 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 with a soft cloth before operating the unit.

Symptom Possible cause

 Cannot record.  Is the erase-prevention tab re-

moved?

 Is the distance or angle incor-

rect?

 Does the remote control sensor

receive strong light?

Symptom Possible cause

Troubleshooting chart (continued)

 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 operated 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 unit, and then turn the power on.

Note:

If neither operation above restores the unit, clear all the memory by
resetting it.

 Clearing all the memory (reset)

1 Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the power stand-by

mode.

2 Whilst pressing down the button and the X-BASS/DEMO but-

ton, press the TUNING button until "CLEAR AL" appears.

Caution:

This operation will erase all data stored in memory including clock,
timer settings, tuner preset, and CD programme.

 Before transporting the unit

Remove all CDs from the unit. Make sure there is no CD in the disc
tray. Then, set the unit to the power stand-by mode. Carrying the
unit with discs left inside can damage the unit.

 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 from which signals are read. 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.

Maintenance

 Cleaning the tape-handling parts

 Dirty heads, capstans or pinch rollers can cause poor sound and

tape jams. Clean these parts with a cotton swab moistened with
commercial head/pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.

 When cleaning the heads, pinch rollers, etc., unplug the unit which

contains high voltages.

 After long use, the deck's heads and capstans may become mag-

netised, causing poor sound. Demagnetise these parts once
every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial
tape head demagnetiser. Read the demagnetiser's instructions
carefully before use.

 Cleaning the cabinet

Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap
solution, then with a dry cloth.

Caution:

 Do not use chemicals for cleaning (petrol, paint thinner, etc.). It

may damage the cabinet finish.

 Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause malfunc-

tions.
