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.
■ 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.
■ 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.

■ 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.
2
● AC Plug Adaptor
In areas (or countries) where an AC socket as shown in illustration ➁ 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 ➀).
To an AC socket
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 com-
partment 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 simi-
lar) into the battery compartment.
● When inserting or removing the batteries ➄ and ➉, push
them towards the ë battery terminals.

● Installing the batteries incorrectly may cause the unit to mal-
function.
● 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.

DETACHABLE SPEAKERS
● Set the FUNCTION switch to STAND-BY before connecting or disconnecting the speakers.
■ Mounting the speakers to the main unit
Fit the grooves of the speaker to the guides on the main unit,
and then slide the speaker all the way down to lock it in place.
■ Removing the speakers from the main unit

■ Speaker connection
Connect each speaker wire to the SPEAKER terminals as
shown. Use speakers with an impedance of 8 ohms or more,
as lower impedance speakers can damage the unit.
Caution:
● Connect the black wire to the minus (–) terminal, and the
red wire to the plus (+) terminal.
● Do not mix the right channel and left channel wiring when
connecting the speakers to the unit.
● Do not let bare speaker wires touch each other as this may
damage the amplifier and/or speakers.
● Do not stand or sit on the speakers. If the speakers fall or
collapse, you may be injured.
Note:
● The speaker grille is not removable.
Volume
Rotate the VOLUME control towards MAX to increase the volume, and towards MIN to decrease the volume.
Extra bass (X-BASS)
Move the X-BASS control towards MAX to emphasise bass
sound.
The centre position represents a normal setting.
Graphic equalizer
Move the GRAPHIC EQUALIZER control for any frequency
towards + 10 to boost the level for that frequency, and towards
-10 to lower the level.
Surround
“Surround” refers to an acoustical effect similar to the ambience of a concert hall, where the listener has the feeling of
being “surrounded” by the sound.
To enjoy the surround effect:
Set the SURROUND switch to ON.
Note:
● The surround effect cannot be
obtained from monaural sound
signals.
