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.
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 apparatus.
Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of battery disposal.
The apparatus is designed for use in moderate climate.
Warn ing:
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 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.
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.
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 discs and unit.
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.
Cassette tape
For playback, use normal or low-noise tape for the best sound. (Metal or CrO 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.

To mount the surround speakers on the wall
The design of the surround speakers allows them to be hung on the wall. Be sure to use the type and size of screw that is shown below.
1
Make a hole in the wall using a drill.
2
Drive a wall mount plug into the hole using a ham­mer. Drive the wall mount plug in until it is flush with the wall surface.
3
Drive one screw into the wall mount plug for each speaker as shown in the illustration.
Drive the screws, so there is about a 5 mm (3/16") space between the wall and the head of the screw.
4
Mount the surround speaker on the wall so that the screw head is inserted into the slot on the surround speaker.
Note:
When the surround speakers are installed vertically, the speaker badge will be upside down. In this case, you can adjust the badge to face the proper direction. Just turn it by hand.
Removing the speaker grilles

RDS (Radio Data System) OPERATION
RDS is a broadcasting service which a growing number of FM stations are now providing. It allows these FM stations to send additional signals along with their regular pro­gramme signals. For example, the stations send their station names, and information about what type of programme they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.
When tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS ser­vice, the RDS will appear, and the station frequency (and then the station name if sent) will be displayed. "TP" (Traffic Programme) will appear on the display when the received broadcast carries traffic announcements, and "TA" (Traffic Announcement) will appear whilst a traffic announcement is received. "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.
Note:
"TP" and "TA" appear at the same time during an announce­ment. When only "TA" appears, an announcement is not made. (See page 26.)

ASPM (Auto Station Program Memory)
It is recommended that you store stations in memory using ASPM. (This memory can be used for PTY searches, sta­tion select and EON switching.) When the ASPM button is pressed whilst tuned to the FM band, the RDS (Radio Data System) function will automati­cally search for new RDS stations. Up to 40 stations can be stored in memory. (If you have already stored some stations in memory, the number of new stations you can store will be less.)
1
Press the ON/STAND-BY button to turn the power on.
2
Press the TUNER (BAND) button.
3
Press the TUNER (BAND) button to select the FM ST or FM band.
4
Press and hold down the ASPM button for at least 3 seconds.
Notes:
Only RDS stations will be stored in memory in numerical order.
If the same station is broadcasting on different frequen­cies, the transmission with the strongest broadcast fre­quency will be stored in memory.
Any station which has the same frequency as one which has been already stored in memory will not be stored again.
The ASPM operation can be repeated until "END" appears.
If a 40th station is stored in memory during a scan, the scanning will stop at that station. The number of stations and "END" will each be displayed for 4 seconds.
If no stations have been stored in memory, "END" will appear for about 4 seconds.
If 40 stations have already been stored in memory and the ASPM button is pressed, "END" will appear immedi­ately and the scan will be aborted. If you want to redo the ASPM operation from the beginning, erase the preset memory, and then perform steps 1 - 4.
If the RDS station broadcast signals are very weak, sta­tion names may not be stored in memory.
To stop the ASPM operation before it is complete:
Press the ASPM button whilst it is scanning for stations.
The stations that have already been stored in memory will be kept there.
To erase all the contents in the preset memory:
1 Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the stand-by
mode.
2 Press the ON/STAND-BY button whilst holding down the
TUNER (BAND) button and the X-BASS/DEMO button.
"TUNER CL" will appear.
After performing this operation, all of the preset memory information will be erased.
(Main unit operation)

After the selected station name has been lit for 1 second, the preset station which corresponds to the selected sta­tion name will be recalled.
To cancel the station select operation:
Press the STATION button whilst "STATION" and "SELECT" appear alternately.
To store a station name again, if the wrong name was stored in memory by mistake:
When you store station names in memory using the ASPM function, the correct station names may not actually be stored if there is lots of noise or if the RDS station signal is too weak. In this case, store station names in memory using the following procedure. 1 Press the STATION button. 2 Within 6 seconds, press the PRESET ( or ) button to
check whether the station names are correct.
3 If you find a station name that is wrong, press the STA-
TION button again within 6 seconds to recall the preset station, which corresponds to the station name.
4 After the preset station has been received and the cor-
rect station name has been displayed, press the MEM­ORY/SET button.
5 Within 30 seconds, press the MEMORY/SET button
whilst the preset channel number is flashing.
The new station name has been stored in memory cor­rectly.
Notes:

About the TP and TA indicators
TP indicator TA indicator Meaning
Not lit Not lit This programme does not carry traffic announcements nor
does it refer, via EON, to a programme that does.
Not lit Lit This programme carries EON information about another pro-
gramme which gives traffic information.
Lit Not lit This programme carries traffic announcements but none are
currently on air and may also carry EON information about other traffic announcements.
Lit Lit A traffic announcement is currently on air on this programme.
In the following cases, the EON stand-by mode will be cancelled.
When the unit is set in the stand-by mode.
When the unit is switched to another band in the EON stand-by mode.
When you change the FM station whilst in the EON stand-by mode.
When a preset call is made.
Notes:
During the same programme as the specified PTY (or TA) is being broadcast on the station you are receiving, the unit will not switch to other network station.
If there are more than two other network stations you want to listen to, compare the strength of each station's signal and tune in the station with the strongest signal. (EON-AF) However, if the frequency of other network station has been stored in the preset channel memory, the unit will switch to that preset channel.
To cancel the ON (other network) station tuned in by the EON system and to return to the original station, press the EON button.
After the unit returns to the original station, the stand-by mode will still be active. (The "TI" or "PTY" will remain lit.)
The unit will not switch from the ON station to another network station. The unit returns to the original station.
When the unit switches automatically to "other network" station, "WEAK SIG" will appear and the unit will return to the original station if there is any problem with this station or the station cannot be received properly.
Even if the unit switches from the station you are listening to directly to some "other network" station, the unit will search for the station with the strongest signal and switch to it if the signals from the other network stations are very weak. How­ever, if the signals from all the other network stations are very weak, or if the tuning conditions are very bad (due to elec­trical noise), the unit will stop searching, "WEAK SIG" will be displayed, and the unit will return to the original station you were receiving.
