(3) Outdoor FM antenna

To connect a 75 ohm coaxial cable antenna, use the terminals marked FM 75 OHMS and GND. To connect an outdoor antenna to the unit, it is recommended that a 75 ohm coaxial cable be used. Its shielded construction resists most types of electrical interference that can cause reception noise. Consult your SHARP audio dealer for suggestions on the type of antenna best suited for your area.

Note:

When an outdoor FM antenna is used, disconnect the supplied FM antenna wire from the FM 75 OHMS terminal.

(4) Outdoor AM antenna

Use an outdoor AM antenna if you need better reception. Consult your dealer.

Note:

When using an outdoor AM antenna , be sure to keep the wire of the AM loop antenna connected.

H Speaker connection

Connect each speaker wire to the SPEAKER terminals as shown.

I Connect the black wire to the minus (–) terminal and the red wire to the

plus (+) terminal.

Cautions:

I Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as this may

damage the amplifier and/or speakers.

I When connecting the speakers to the unit, connect the wires to the

speakers first, and then to the terminals on the unit.

I When connecting the speakers to the unit, be sure to connect the

speaker wires properly. Do not mistake the right channel for the left channel and the plus (+) terminal for the minus (–) terminal.

I Use these SPEAKER terminals for CP-X8 only, do not connect them

to speakers other than CP-X8s.

I Do not allow any objects to fall into or to be placed in the bass reflex

ducts.

BASIC INFORMATION ON MINIDISCS

H Differences from tape recordings

You cannot record music on the back side of a MiniDisc.

MiniDiscs cannot be inserted when they are turned over. (Page 18)

H Note about making digital copies

MiniDiscs are designed so that further copies cannot be made from digitally recorded MiniDisc tracks. This is a specification of the SCMS (Serial Copy Management System).

H About track numbers

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.

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 before it has finished. (Page 30)

The date and time of a recording are automatically saved with the recording.

If you have set the date and time, they will be automatically recorded when a recording is made. (Page 25)

H Information (TOC) to be recored on an

The TOC (Table of Contents) is information on track numbers and recording areas to allow the unit to recognize musical selections or sounds. The entire MD 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.

I The TOC is recorded in a specific area on a MiniDisc, which

is not used for sound recording.

When you make a recording on a MiniDisc, track numbers are created automatically.

When recording from CDs inserted in this unit or making a digital recording from an external unit (CD or MD)

New track numbers will be created automatically according to the original tracks (Synchro mark function).

I 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.

Area for TOC (recording track numbers, track names, etc.)

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 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 turn the power off. Do NOT unplug the power cord while the TOC is being recorded

(“TOC” is flashing) Also, donot subject the unit any shocks or sharp jolts. Otherwise, the TOC will not be correctly recorded, and consequently proper playback may not be possible.

Area for recording the sound

(Track A)

When recording from external analog equipment

If there is 1.5 seconds or more of silence, the blank space is assumed to be the space between tracks, and a new track number is created automatically (Auto mark function).

I If the signal to be recorded contains some noise, the track

numbers may not be properly created.

I You can also record musical selections as a single track

without using the Auto mark function.

H About monaural long-play mode

When a recording is made in the monaural long-play mode, the length of the recording can be double that of a stereo recording for the same amount of space on the MD. The monaural long-play mode is very useful for recording songs that were originally recorded in monaural, or for recording talk programs.

Press the REC MODE button on the remote control. I Each time the button is pressed, the display will switch

between the stereo mode and the monaural long-play mode.

I This mode cannot be changed while recording. I The level meter shows stereo indication even when the mode

is the monaural long-play mode.

I The recording mode will not change back until you change it

manually. After you have made a recording in the monaural long-play mode, it is recommended that you return the unit to the stereo mode so that you won’t forget to do so later.

ABCD

A track can be divided into two tracks. If two selections were recorded as a single track because there was not enough silent space between the tracks, you can use the DIVIDE function to separate the selections. This feature is also convenient for identifying specific points with one selection so that you can locate those points easily whenever you like. (Page 33)

Combine

Two adjacent tracks (for example, the third and fourth tracks) can be combined. If there is a prolonged silence in the middle of a selection that is recorded, a single piece of music may be recorded as two tracks. If this happens, these two tracks can be combined into a single track. (Page 33)

Erase

Tracks you want to erase can be erased one at a time or all at once. Once a track has been erased, it cannot be recovered. Double-check the track number before erasing it. (Page 35)

Move

The order of the recorded tracks can be changed. This feature is different from program play. A new track order can be recorded directly on the disc. When the power is turned off, the revised order will not be changed. (Page 34)

WHAT IS A MINIDISC?

Disc

Shutter Cartridge

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, etc. may cause malfunctions. Please note the following.

H Handling MiniDiscs

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.

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., a beach).

Regular cleaning:

If the surface of the cartridge becomes dusty or dirty, clean it with a soft, dry cloth.

H To prevent recorded discs from being

erased accidentally (accidental erasure prevention)

Tab

Slide the accidental erasure prevention tab, located on the side of the disc, in the direction indicated by the arrow.

I The disc will then be protected against accidental erasure. I To add a recording to such a disc, slide the accidental erasure

prevention tab back to its original position.

H What is a MiniDisc?

I A MiniDisc is a 2-1/2" (64-mm) diameter disc which is stored

in a cartridge. MiniDiscs are easy to handle, compared with compact discs, because they are protected against dust and scratches.

I Recording and playback use a digital system with a sound

quality that is similar to that with compact discs. MiniDiscs cannot twist or stretch like tapes. The quality of

sound will not deteriorate. MiniDiscs are extremely durable.

I Never disassemble a MiniDisc.

H Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding

[ATRAC]

ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding) is a new 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.

38-58 98.6.23, 10:34 AM52

(Continued)

Label

Shutters will be used on both sides.

Disc

H Types of discs

There are two types of MiniDiscs: playback-only and recordable type.

I Playback-only MiniDisc:

This type of MiniDisc is used for commercially available prerecorded music. This is the same kind of optical disc as a CD. Playback is performed using an optical pickup. (Recording and editing are not possible.)

A shutter is used on only one side (back).

I Recordable MiniDisc:

This is a “blank disc” which recording can be performed. A magneto optical disc is used. Recordings are made using a laser and a magnet. Repeated recording is possible.

H High-speed access

A unique feature of the MiniDisc is the ability to locate the beginning of a desired track at high speed. This is because the track number and track name data are stored in a TOC (Table of Contents).

H Shock-Resistant Memory

TOC Sound data

During playback, approximately 10 seconds of information is stored in the semiconductor memory. Therefore, even when the pickup cannot read information for a second or two because of external shock, the sound continues without interruption because the information stored in memory is output.

MINIDISC SYSTEM LIMITATIONS

Even if the maximum recording time of a MiniDisc is not When the number of tracks used reaches the limit, regardless of the remainder being reached, “DISC FULL” or “TOC FULL” may be displayed. recording time, further recording will be impossible. (Maximum number of tracks: 255)

Therefore, the time actually available for recording may be less than the remaining time displayed. If there are scratches on a disc, those sections will be automatically avoided (no recording will be placed in those sections). Therefore, recording time will be reduced.
