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.
