SPECIAL NOTES FOR UK CUSTOMERS ONLY
NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.
The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewire­able (moulded) plug incorporating a 3A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fu se marke d or and of the same rati ng as above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug must be used.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without t he fuse cover fitted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut-off the mains pl ug and fit a n appropriat e type.
DANGER:
The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and disposed of in a safe manner.
Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be in­serted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet as a serious electric shock may occur.
To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:
IMPORTANT:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the follo wing code:
Blue : Neutral Brown : Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red.
Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is con­nected to the earth terminal in your three pin plug.
Before replacing the plug cover, make sure that:
If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug.
The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead and not simply over the lead wires.
IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

PRECAUTIONS
Note for users in the U.K.:
Recording and playback of any material may require con­sent, which SHARP is unable to give. Please refer par­ticularly to the provisions of the Copyright Act 1956, the Dramatic and Musical Performers Protection Act 1958, the Performers Protection Acts 1963 and 1972 and to any subsequent statutory enactments and orders.
For other countries:
Audio-visual material may consist of copyrighted works which must not be recorded without the authority of the owner of the copyright. Please refer to the relevant laws in your country.
Note:
Parts and accessories mentioned in this operation ma­nual other than those shown to the left are not included.
Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well ventilated area and ensure that there is at least 10 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.
When cleaning the heads, pinch roller, etc, remove the AC power plug from the wall socket as the unit contains high 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 STAND-BY/ON switch to STAND-BY and then to ON again.
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.
Condensation
Sudden temperature changes and storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (tape head, etc.). Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction. If this happens, leave the power on with no cassette in the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour).
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.

General information
For playback, use normal or low-noise tape for the best
sound. (Metal or CrO2 tape is not recommended.) For recording, use only normal tape.
Do not use C-120 tapes, tapes with large diameter reels, or poor-quality tapes, as they may cause malfunctions.
Before loading a tape into the cassette compartment, tighten the slack with a pen or pencil.
Cassettes have removable tabs which prevent accidental recording or erasing from taking place. Removing the tab will protect the corresponding side from being erased. Cover the tab holes with adhesive tape to erase or record again.

MAINTENANCE
Internal care
Dirty heads, capstan or pinch roller can cause poor sound
and tape jams. Clean these parts with a cotton swab moistened with commercial head/pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
After long use, the deck’s heads and capstan may become magnetised, causing poor sound. Demagnetise these parts once every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial tape head demagnetiser. Read the demagnetiser’s instructions carefully before use.
External care
Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted
soap solution, then wipe with a dry cloth.
Do not use chemically treated cleaning cloths or other chemicals.
SPECIFICATIONS
As a part of our policy of continuous improvement, SHARP reserves the right to make design and specification changes for product improvement without prior notice.
