THE AEL (ACCESSIBLE EMISSION LEVEL) OF THE LASER
POWER OUTPUT IS LESS THAN CLASS 1 BUT THE LASER
COMPONENT IS CAPABLE OF EMITTING RADIATION
EXCEEDING THE LIMIT FOR CLASS 1. THEREFORE IT IS
IMPORTANT THAT THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS ARE
OBSERVED DURING SERVICING TO PROTECT YOUR
EYES AGAINST EXPOSURE TO THE LASER BEAM.
1-WHEN THE CABINET IS REMOVED, THE POWER IS
TURNED ON WITDOUT A COMPACT DISC IN POSITION
AND THE PICK-UP IS ON THE OUTER EDGE THE LASER
WILL LIGHT FOR SEVERAL SECONDS TO DETECT A
DISC. DO NOT LOOK INTO THE PICK-UP LENS.
2-THE LASER POWER OUTPUT OF THE PICK-UP UNIT
AND REPLACEMENT SERVICE PARTS ARE ALL
FACTORY PRE-SET BEFORE SHIPMENT.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RE-ADJUST THE LASER PICKUP UNIT DURING REPLACEMENT OR SERVICING.
3-UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES STARE INTO THE PICK-
UP LENS AT ANY TIME.
4-CAUTION-USE OF CONTROLS OR ADJUSTMENTS, OR
PERFORMANCE OF PROCEDURES OTHER THAN
THOSE SPECIFIED HEREIN MAY RESULT IN
HAZARDOUS RADIATION EXPOSURE.
The AEL (ACCESSIBLE EMMISSION LEVEL) of the laser
power output is less than class 1 but the laser component is
capable
of emitting radiation exceeding the limit for class 1. Therefore
it is important that the following precautions are observer
during
servicing to protect your eyes against exposure to the laser
beam.
1) When the unit case cover is removed and LOADING SW
(SW 1956) is turned on and then PLAY SW (SW 1954
mechanism PWB) is turned on in a few second.
The laser will light for several second to detect a disk.
2) The laser power output of the pickup unit and replacement
service parts are all factory pre-set before shipment.
Do not attempt to re-adjust the laser pick-up unit during
replacement or servicing.
3) Under no circumstances stare into the pickup lens at any
time.
4) If laser optical unit becomes faulty, replace the complete
laser optical unit.
5) CAUTION-USE of controls or adjustments, or performance
of procedures other than those specified herein may result
in hazardous radiation exposure.
● CAUTION
Use the MD/CD component system only in accordance with the instructions given in this manual
and do not attempt to interfere with the interlock
switch or make any other adjustment as this may
result in exposure to hazardous radiation.
VARO !Avattaessa ja suojalukitus ohitettaessa olet alttiina näkymättömälle lasersäteilylle. Älä katso säteeseen.
VARNING!Osynlig laserstralning när denna del är öppnad och spärren är urkopplad. Betrakta ej strälen.
Precaution to be taken when replacing and servicing the
laser pickup.
The following precautions must be observed during servicing
to protect your eyesvagainst exposure to the laser.
Warning of possible eye damage when repairing:
If the AC power plug is connected when the inner cover of
the unit is removed, the laser will light up during focus
access (about 1 second) (Fig. 2-1).
During this operation, the laser will leak from the opening
between the magnetic head and cartridge holder (Fig. 2-2).
In order to protect your eyes, you must not look at the laser
during repair.
Before repairing, be sure to disconnect the AC power plug.

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, the recording time will be
reduced.
(Continued)
If a problem occurs
If subjected to any strong external interference (mechanical
shock, excessive static electricity, abnormal supply voltage due
to lightning, etc.) , or if it is operated incorrectly, or if an MD cannot
be removed, this product or the display may become damaged.
1
Unplug the AC power lead from the AC socket.
2
Press the RESET button on the back of the unit for at least 10 seconds.
3
Plug the AC power lead back into the AC socket.
When the RESET button is pressed, all of the settings in memory will
be erased.
If strange sounds, smells or smoke come out of the unit, or if a foreign
object falls into the unit, turn off the power, unplug the AC power lead
from the AC socket immediately. Contact an authorised Sharp
service.

DISASSEMBLY
Caution on Disassembly
Whe disassembling the machine or assenbling it after
repair, observe the following instructions so as to ensure
safety and keep its performance.
1. Unload the compact disc, and mini-disc from machine.
2. Be sure to unplug the power cable before starting
disasembly of the machine.
3. When disassenbling each section, remove the nylon
band or wire arrangement.
If a screw of improper length is fit to the MD mechanism.
(a screw fit the part to the mechanism chassis of MD
section), it may cantact the optical pickup, impeding
normal operation. Hence, due care must be taken.
4. While repairing, pay utmost attention to static electricity
on ICs.
Push the pawl of disc tray
with a proper screwdriver.
