PRECAUTIONS
General
Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well
ventilated area and ensure that there is at least 4" (10cm) of free space along the sides and back. There must also be a minimum of 4" (10cm) of free space on the top of the unit.
Do not use oil, solvents, gasoline, paint thinners or insecti­cides on the unit.
Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 140°F (60°C) 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 gen­erate electrical noise.
Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it from the AC outlet, since pulling the cord 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 .
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 malfunctions while in use, press the ON/ST AND­BY button to enter the stand-by mode, then disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet. Plug the AC power cord 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 cord from the A C outlet for safety.
Warning:
The voltage used must be the same as that specified on this unit. Using this product with a higher v oltage 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.
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 maxim um 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. Fingerpr ints, 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 center, along the radius.
NO
YES Correct
Volume control
The sound level at a giv en volume setting depends on a com­bination of speaker efficiency , location and v arious other fac­tors.
It is advisable to avoid e xposure to high v olume lev els, which occur while turning the unit on with the volume control setting up high, or while 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, MiniDisc pickup , 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 in the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensation on the remote control transmitter LED with a soft cloth before operating the unit.

MINIDISC RECORDING
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 in the direction of the arrow on the top of the MiniDisc.
You don't need to search for the starting point at which to record.
The unit automatically finds the point at which recording can start. Recording will start from that point.
Y ou 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 before it has finished.
Disc writing (TOC)
The T OC (Table of Contents) is information on track numbers and recording areas to allow the unit to recognize musical selections or sounds.
The entire MiniDisc is controlled depending on this T OC, which enables the unit to find the beginning of a track quickly or to automatically record in a vacant area.
About track numbers
When recording from a CD
New track numbers will be created automatically according to the original tracks (Synchro mark function).
CD
First track Second track Third track
Track A Track B Track C
MiniDisc
First track
Track A Track B Track C
When you record from a CD to a MiniDisc, the track num­bers recorded on the MiniDisc may not match the track numbers on the CD. If this happens, correct the track numbers using the DI­VIDE (page 29) and COMBINE (page 29) functions after recording.
Recordings cannot be made in the following situa­tions.
If you try recording on a playback-only MiniDisc (commer­cially available music MiniDisc).
If a MiniDisc is protected against accidental erasure (page
36).
If there is no more recording time left on the disc (page
37).
When the "TOC FULL" message appears (page 39).
If a disc's TOC has been damaged.

Area for TOC (recording track numbers, track names, etc.)
Area for recording the sound
When you start recording or editing, "TOC" will appear in the display window.
This indicates that information in the TOC is now being changed according 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 power cord while 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.
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, EQUALIZER and SURROUND controls can be adjusted during recording, with no effect on the recorded signal.

WHAT IS A MINIDISC?
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.
Handling the MiniDisc
Do not touch the disc directly!
Do not open the shutter or touch the disc directly. If the shutter is opened forcibly, it may break.
Disc
Shutter
Cartridge
Where not to store discs:
Do not store discs in places with high temperatures or hu­midity. Specifically, do not leave discs in places exposed to direct sunlight or in cars with doors and windows closed. Do not leave discs in places where sand can get into the car­tridge easily (e.g. beaches).
To prevent recorded discs from being
erased accidentally
Slide the accidental erase prevention tab , located on the side of the disc, in the direction indicated by the arrow.
The disc will then be protected against accidental erasure.
T o add a recording to such a disc, slide the accidental erase
prevention tab back to its original position.
Tab
Protected against accidental erasure
What is a MiniDisc?
A MiniDisc is a 2-1/2" (64 mm) diameter disc which is stored
in a cartridge. MiniDiscs are easy to handle, compared to CDs, because they are protected against dust and scratches.
Recording and playback use a digital system with a sound quality that is similar to that found on CDs. MiniDiscs cannot twist or stretch like tapes. The quality of sound will not deteriorate. MiniDiscs are e xtremely durable.
Never disassemble MiniDiscs.
Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding
[ATRAC]
The ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding) is a ne w technology that is designed to eliminate the information in sounds which you can not hear and to compress the remain­ing sound data so that the recording uses about 1/5 of the original sound information. Sound data is analyzed and filtered to take advantage of psycho acoustic masking. The acoustic quality of the sound is not impaired.
Types of discs
There are two types of discs: playback-only and recordable types.
Playback-only MiniDisc:
This type of MiniDisc is used for commercially available 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 performed. A magneto optical disc is used. Recordings are made us­ing a laser and magnetic field. Repeated recording is pos­sible.
Shutters will be used on both sides.
How to apply labels
When sticking a label on a MiniDisc cartridge, be sure to ob­serve the following. If a label is not affixed properly, a MiniDisc may become jammed in the unit such that it can not be removed.
Stick a label correctly to the specified area. (Do not stick labels to areas other than the specified one.)
Do not stick one label upon another.
If a label is peeling off or starts to come
loose, replace it with a new one.
Shock Resistant Memory
During playback, approximately 10 seconds of inf ormation is stored in the semiconductor memory. Therefore, even when the pickup cannot read information for a second or two due to an external shock, the sound continues without interruption because the information stored in memory is output.
36
MINIDISC SYSTEM LIMITATIONS
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, T OC information will fill up, e ven though the n umber 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 (analog 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. Theref ore, the time actually availab le for recording ma y 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.
