This Portable CD Stereo Component System is classified as a CLASS 1 LASER product.

The CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT label is located on the rear cover.

● Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.

As the laser beam used in this compact disc player is harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

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, set the FUNCTION switch to STAND-BY and then to ON again.

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.

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 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 and storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (tape head, etc.).

Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction.

If this happens, leave the power on with no cassette in the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour).

Warning:

CD players use a laser pickup which can damage the eyes if viewed directly. Do not look at the pickup, and do not touch the pickup directly.

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 nonlabel 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.

Use the same tape formula for both TAPE 1 and TAPE 2.

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 or record. TAPE 2: Playback only.

To an AC socket

AC power

Check the setting of the AC voltage selector located on the rear panel before plugging the unit into an AC socket. If necessary, adjust the selector to correspond to the AC power voltage used in your area.

Selector adjustment:

Slide the selector with a screwdriver to the appropriate voltage number (AC 110 - 127 V or AC 220 - 240 V).

Notes:

If the unit will not be used for a long period of time, remove the AC power lead from the AC socket.

Connection of the AC power lead to the unit disconnects the batteries.

Never use a power lead other than the one supplied. Use of a power lead other than the one supplied may cause an electric shock or fire.

If a humming noise occurs, turn the power plug upside down where it is connected to the AC power input socket on the unit.

AC Plug Adaptor

In areas (or countries) where an AC socket as shown in illustration is used, connect the unit using the AC plug adaptor supplied with the unit, as illustrated. The AC plug adaptor is not included in areas where the AC wall socket and AC power plug can be directly connected (see illustration ).

Note for users in Australia and New Zealand:

An AC plug adaptor is not supplied if the lead has an Australian Standard plug.

Battery power

1 Disconnect the AC power lead, and remove the battery compartment cover.

Connection of the AC power lead to the unit disconnects the batteries.

2 Insert 10 “D” size batteries (UM/SUM-1, R20, HP-2 or similar) into the battery compartment.

When inserting or removing the batteries and , push them towards the ë battery terminals.

Installing the batteries incorrectly may cause the unit to malfunction.

Batteries are not included.

3 Replace the battery compartment cover.

Precautions for battery use:

Insert the batteries according to the direction indicated on the rear panel.

Remove the batteries if they are weak or if the unit will not be used for long periods of time. This will prevent potential damage due to battery leakage.

Replace all old batteries with new ones at the same time.

Do not mix old and new batteries.

Caution:

Do not use rechargeable batteries (nickel-cadmium battery, etc.).

Battery replacement:

Replace the batteries when they become weak and/or recording or playback is impaired. This may occur even though radio broadcasts are audible.

Clean, replace, or reload the disc properly.

Keep foreign objects out of the CD compartment.

Subjecting the unit to shock or vibration may cause mistracking.

Keep the CD compartment closed except when loading discs.

Playing certain compact discs at a high volume may cause mistracking. In this case, listen at a lower volume.

The temperature range for playing compact discs is recommended to be 5°C (41°F) - 35°C (95°F).

If TV or radio interference occurs during CD operation, move the unit away from the TV or radio.

Mixing from a microphone and TAPE

To listen to or record mixed signals from an external microphone and TAPE.

1 To protect the speakers from shock noise and to avoid disturbing noises, set the VOLUME control to minimum.

Be sure that the microphone has a 3.5 mm (1/8") diameter plug, and is of 600 ohms impedance; if not, use an appropriate adaptor.

2 Connect the microphone plug to the MIX MIC socket.

3 Set the FUNCTION switch to TAPE.

4 Load a cassette into the TAPE 1 or TAPE 2 cassette compartment.

5 Press the PLAY button of the TAPE 1 or TAPE 2.

6 Adjust the volume of the audio source and the microphone using the VOLUME control.

For mixing recording

1 Perform steps 1 - 3 above.

2 Load a blank tape into the TAPE 1 cassette compartment. Insert a prerecorded cassette into the TAPE 2 cassette compartment.

3 Set the DUBBING SPEED switch to NORMAL.

Mixing recording is not possible if the DUBBING SPEED switch is set to HIGH.

4 Press the RECORD button of TAPE 1.

5 Press the PLAY button of TAPE 2.

Notes:

Place the microphone about 10-15 cm (4-6") away from the source.

If howling occurs, lower the volume or move the microphone as far as possible from the speakers.
