● 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 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).
Warnings:
● 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.
● 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.
■ 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.

■ 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 mois-
ture.
● 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.
● Do not attach labels or adhesive tapes on the CD. It may cause malfunc-
tion to the unit.

■ Setting the FM/AM span selector
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has established that member countries should maintain either a 100 kHz or 50 kHz interval between broadcasting frequencies of FM stations and 10 kHz or 9 kHz for AM station. The illustration shows
the 50/9 kHz zones (regions 1 and 3), and the 100/10 kHz zone (region 2).
Before using the unit, set the SPAN SELECTOR switch (on the rear panel) to the
interval (span) of your area.
To change the tuning zone:
1 Unplug the AC power lead from the AC socket.
2 Set the SPAN SELECTOR switch (on the rear panel) as follows.
● For 50 kHz FM interval (9 kHz in AM) → 50/9
● For 100 kHz FM interval (10 kHz in AM) → 100/10
3 Plug the AC power lead to the AC socket.
Caution:
This operation will erase all data stored in memory including clock, timer settings,
tuner preset, and CD or MiniDisc programme.

Before Recording to a MiniDisc
■ Differences from tape recordings
You cannot record music on the reverse side of a MiniDisc.
MiniDiscs are single sided and should only be inserted with the correct side up.
You do not need to search for the starting point of recording.
The unit automatically finds the point at which recording can start. Recording will
start from that point.
You can check the total or remaining recordable time (possible recording) before recording.
This lets you plan a recording session so that the last song will not come to an abrupt
end.
■ Disc writing (TOC)
The TOC (Table of Contents) is information on track numbers and recording areas to
allow the unit to recognise musical selections or sounds.
The entire MiniDisc is controlled depending on this TOC, which enables the unit to
find the beginning of a track quickly or to automatically record in a vacant area.
When you start recording or editing, "TOC" will appear in the display window.
MD Recording
This indicates that information in
the TOC is now being changed ac-

cording to the recording or editing
being performed. (The changed
TOC is not yet recorded on the
MiniDisc at this time.)
The TOC is recorded when
● you stop recording.
● you switch to another input source.
● you eject the MiniDisc.
● you enter the stand-by mode.
Do NOT unplug the unit whilst the TOC is being recorded ("TOC" is flashing) and do
NOT impart shock to the unit. Otherwise, TOC will not be correctly recorded, and
consequently proper playback may not be possible.

● When you record from a CD to a MiniDisc, the track numbers recorded on the

Recordings cannot be made in the following situations.
● If you try recording on a playback-only MiniDisc (commercially available music

● If a MiniDisc is protected against accidental erasure (page 38).
● If there is no more recording space left on the disc (page 39).
● When the "TOC FULL" message appears (page 39).
● If a disc's TOC has been damaged.
Notes:
● When recording important selections, be sure to make a preliminary test to ensure
that the desired material is being properly recorded.
● The VOLUME, X-BASS and EQUALIZER controls can be adjusted with no effect
to the recorded signal (Variable Sound Monitor).
■ About ATRAC 3
The ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding) system compresses the sound
data into 1/5 by cutting out the inaudible sound. Since the sound is selected based
on psychoacoustics masking, the sound quality is not impaired.
This unit is equipped with the ATRAC 3 compressing system that can reduce the
sound data to 1/10 or 1/20 of its original size.
By employing this system, 2 times and 4 times long recordings are enabled in stereo
mode.

The disc is stored in a cartridge. You can handle it easily without worrying about dust,
fingerprints, etc. However, dust entering the opening of the cartridge, dirt on the
cartridge, warping, etc. may cause malfunctions. Please note the following.
■
To prevent recorded MiniDiscs from being
erased accidentally
Slide the accidental erase prevention tab, located on the side of the MiniDisc, in the
direction indicated by the arrow.
Recordable
To add a recording, slide the tab back to its original position.
■
Helpful tip when attaching a label
If the label is not attached properly, the MiniDisc may jam inside the unit and it may
not be possible to remove it.
● If the label peels off or partially lifts away, replace it with a new
one.
● Do not put a new label on top of an existing one.
● Attach the label only in the specified location.
■
Types of discs
There are two types of discs.
● Playback-only MiniDisc:
This type of MiniDisc is used for commercially avail-
able prerecorded music. This is the same kind of optical disc as CDs. Playback is performed using an optical pickup. (Recording and editing are not possible.)
● Recordable MiniDisc:
This is a “raw disc” on which recording can be per-
formed. A magneto optical disc is used. Recordings
are made using a laser and magnetic field. Repeated
recording is possible.
Recording
prevented
A shutter will be used on
only one side (back).
Shutters will be used on
both sides.
Even if the maximum recording time of a MiniDisc has not
been reached, “TOC FULL”
may be displayed.
Even if the maximum recording time of a MiniDisc has not
been reached, “DISC FULL”
may be displayed.
Even if several short tracks
are erased, the remaining recording time may not show
an increase.
Two tracks may not be combined in editing.
The total of the recorded time
and time remaining on a disc
may not add up to the maximum possible recording time.
If recorded tracks are fast reversed or fast forwarded, the
sound may skip.
In the MD system, the delimiter of the recording area
on a MiniDisc is programmed in a TOC. If partial
erasing, recording and editing are repeated several
times, TOC information will fill up, even though the
number of tracks has not reached the limit (255
tracks), and further recording will be impossible. (If
you use the all erase function, this MiniDisc can be
used from the beginning.)
If there is any flaw on the MiniDisc, that part is automatically excluded from the space available for
recording. Therefore, the recording time becomes
shorter.
When the remaining recording time of a disc is displayed, short tracks less than 12 seconds long may
not be included in the total.
For MiniDiscs on which repeated recording and editing operations were performed, the COMBINE
function may not work.
A track recorded from a CD (digital recording) and
a track recorded from a radio or other equipment
(analogue recording) cannot be combined.
A cluster (about 2 seconds) is normally the minimum unit of recording. So, even if a track is less
than 2 seconds long, it will use about 2 seconds of
space on the disc. Therefore, the time actually available for recording may be less than the remaining
time displayed.
If there are scratches on discs, those sections will
be automatically avoided (no recording will be
placed in those sections). Therefore, the recording
time will be reduced.
A MiniDisc which has been recorded or edited repeatedly may skip during fast reverse or fast forward.

Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD/MD pickup, 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 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.

Troubleshooting Chart (continued)
Maintenance
■ 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 step 1, 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 PRESET W button and the DISPLAY (DEMO) button,
press the ON/STAND-BY button.
After the “RESET” is displayed for about 1 second, the unit will enter the power
stand-by mode.

Caution:
This operation will erase all data stored in memory including clock, timer settings,
tuner preset, and CD or MiniDisc programme.
■ Before transporting the unit
- Troubleshooting Chart / Maintenance -
Remove the CD and the MiniDisc from the unit. Your unit checks whether there is a
disc inside the unit when the compartment is closed. “NO DISC” appears if no disc is
left. Then, set the unit to the power stand-by mode. Carrying the unit with discs left
inside can damage it.
■ Cleaning the CD pickup lens
Do not touch the laser pickup lens. If fingerprints or dust accumulate on the pickup,
clean it gently with a dry cotton swab.
■ 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 malfunctions.
