PRECAUTIONS

■General

● Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well

ventilated area and ensure that there is at least 5 cm 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, since pulling the lead can damage internal wires.

● Remove the AC power plug from the wall socket before cleaning the heads, pinch rollers, etc. This unit contains dangerous 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 ON/STAND-BY switch to STAND-BY, then disconnect the AC power lead from the AC socket. Plug the AC power lead back in, and then set the ON/STAND-BY switch to ON.

● If a lightning storm is taking place near you, it is suggested that you disconnect the AC power lead from the AC socket for safety.

Warning:

The voltage used must be the same as that specified on this unit. Using this product with a higher voltage 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

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.

■Condensation

Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD pickup, MD pickup, etc.) or on the transmitter window 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) or wipe off any condensation on the transmitter window with a soft cloth before operating the unit.

■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. 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.

■About the transport card

This unit is shipped with a transport card in place to prevent damage during shipping. Before using, follow these steps to remove the transport card:

1 Set the ON/STAND-BY switch to ON. 2 Press the

button of the disc 1 to open the disc tray.

3 Remove the transport card.

SRS is a breakthrough technology that creates 3-dimensional sound by processing sound signals based on the human auditory system. It produces real depth and localization of the sound image which cannot be accomplished by ordinary stereo. SRS only requires two speakers.

SRS (●) 3D surround effects:

● Live performance atmosphere

(Simulates a live concert atmosphere)

● The localization of various musical sources is quite clear. (The positions of the musical instruments and singers are very clear.)

● Reproduction of depth (Sounds from the front and back of an orchestra can be identified easily.)

● Expansion of the sound field (The sound image is spread out over a wide area.)

When listening to a stereo sound source:

When the sound source is in stereo, you can select from any of 5 different 3D surround effect.

1 Select any desired audio source and begin playback. 2 Press the 3D SURROUND ON/OFF button to enter the 3D

surround mode.

● "3D SURROUND" will appear.

3 Press the MODE button repeatedly to select the desired

mode.

● When the MODE button is pressed in the 3D surround mode, the current mode will be displayed. When you press the MODE button again, you can switch the mode. About 3 seconds later, the display will return to the original mode.

SURROUND MODE

Effect from each mode

MODE-1

You will enjoy a sound image that produces an intimate sound field. (as in a medium-size hall)

MODE-2 This setting gives you a maximum sound field

as music comes out beyond the speakers. (as in a large, domed arena)

MODE-3

This setting is great for live recording and vocal music.

MODE-4

You will hear more vocals in an intimate sound field. (as at a live music performance)

MODE-5

This setting greatly increases the amount of vocals or center sounds in a recording. (as in a small club)

3D MONO

This setting produces a 3D surround sound from a monaural sound source, for example a video game with monaural output.

To cancel the 3D surround effect:

Press the 3D SURROUND ON/OFF button.

● "SURROUND OFF" will be displayed, and the 3D surround effect will be cancelled.

Notes:

● If any disc tray is open, it will be automatically closed.

● If the CD

button is pressed, continuous playback will be performed from the first track of disc 1, even after disc 2 or disc 3 has been selected.

Direct playback:

If a CD is loaded in the unit, pressing the CD

0 6

button turns

the power on and begins playback.

Cautions:

● Do not carry the unit whilst CD’s are in the trays or a MiniDisc is loaded. The discs may come loose inside the unit and be damaged or cause damage to the unit. This may also cause malfunctions.

● Do not place two CDs in one disc position.

● Do not push the disc tray whilst it is moving.

● Do not attempt to push the disc tray by hand. This may cause

malfunctions.

● If power fails whilst the tray is open, wait until the power supply returns or gently push the tray manually to close it.

● If the disc tray is stopped forcibly, "TRAY ERROR" will appear on the display and the unit will not function. If this occurs, turn off the ON/STAND-BY switch and turn it on again.

● If TV or radio interference occurs during CD operation, move the unit away from the TV or radio.

● If a disc is damaged, dirty, or loaded upside down, the disc will be skipped and the next disc will be automatically played.

● If the CDs are dirty or have label adhesive on their surface, make sure to clean them before loading. If a rental CD is loaded or a label has been peeled off from the CD, the surface may be dirty or sticky. Wipe any dirt from the surface. If a dirty CD is loaded and played back, it may become damaged, or it could become stuck in the unit.

● If the CD

0 6

button, CD PLAY 1 - 3 button or the 7 button is pressed when a disc tray is open, the disc tray will be automatically closed. Be careful not to catch your finger.

● If the machine is shaken by impact or vibration, playback may be disrupted. If the playback volume of a CD is raised excessively, playback may be disrupted. If this happens, lower the playback volume.

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. (Page 39)

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 17)

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 6)

■Disc writing (TOC)

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.

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 lead 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.

■About track numbers

When recording from CD

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

● 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 24) and COMBINE (page 25) functions after recording.

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 time left on the disc (Page 17)

● When the "TOC FULL" message appears (Page 39)

● If a disc’s TOC has been damaged

● If you are trying to copy a digital signal that has

been encoded with the SCMS signal (Serial Copy Management System)

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, TREBLE and 3D SURROUND controls may be adjusted with no effect on the recorded signal. (Variable Sound Monitor)

EDITING

We will explain the 5 editing functions with which you can create your own original discs from recorded MiniDiscs. Playback-only MiniDiscs cannot be edited.

DIVIDE

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 pieces, 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 24)

123

1234

ABC D

ABCD

COMBINE

Two adjacent tracks (for example, the third and fourth tracks) can be combined. If there is a prolonged silent section 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 25)

123

CDAB

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 27)

ABC

ABDE

1234

MOVE

The order of the recorded tracks can be changed. This feature is different from programme 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 26)

CABD

1234

ABCD

Programmed move

This function allows the track numbers to be automatically rearranged in the order specified for programmed playback. The track numbers will be adjusted as needed, automatically. (The tracks that are not included in the programmed selections will be put at the end of the new track numbers.)

(Page 26)

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.

Shutter

Disc

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).

Regular cleaning:

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

■To prevent recorded discs from being

erased accidentally (accidental erasure prevention)

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.

● To 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 64 mm (2-1/2") diameter disc which is

stored in a cartridge. MiniDiscs are easy to handle, compared to compact discs, 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 compact discs. MiniDiscs cannot twist or stretch like tapes. The quality of sound will not deteriorate. MiniDiscs are extremely durable.

● Never disassemble MiniDiscs.

■Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding

[ATRAC]

The 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 analysed and filtered to take advantage of psycho acoustic masking. The acoustic quality of the sound is not impaired.

MD-ZV30H TINSZ0217AWZZ

E-38

Page 41

<P=004>

(Continued)

■Types of discs

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

● Playback-only MiniDisc: This type of MiniDisc is used for commercially available pre-recorded music. This is the same kind of optical disc as CDs. Playback is performed using an optical pickup. (Recording and editing are not possible.)

A Shutter will be used on only one side (back).

● 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 an MD cartridge, be sure to observe the following. If a label is not affixed properly, an MD 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.

■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 is stored in a TOC (Table of Contents).

Disc

TOC

Sound data

■Shock Resistant Memory

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 due to an 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 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 an MD 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 MD 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.

An MD which was recorded or edited repeatedly may skip during fast reverse or fast forward.
