OPERATION MANUAL
Thank you for purchasing this SHARP product. For the best performance, read this manual care­fully. It will guide you in operating your SHARP product.
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 fuse marked or and of the s ame rating 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 the 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 plug and fit an appropriate 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 following 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.

SPECIAL NOTES
If the model name contains a parentheses, the letters in the parentheses indicate the colour of the product. Operation and specifications are unaffected.
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.
This equipment complies with the requirements
of Directives 89/336/EEC and 73/23/EEC as amended by 93/68/EEC.
When the FUNCTION switch is set at STAND-BY
position, mains voltage is still present inside the unit.
Warning:
This unit contains no user serviceable parts. Never remove covers unless qualified to do so. This unit contains dangerous voltages, always remove mains plug from the socket before any service operation and when not in use for a long period.
ACCESSORY
Warning:
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this appliance to dripping or splashing liquids.
Caution:
Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
As the laser beam used in this compact disc player is harmful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
Parts and accessories mentioned in this operation manual other than those in the drawing are not included.
AC power lead × 1
MAINTENANCE
Internal care
Do not touch the Laser pickup lens. If fingerprints
or dust accumulate on the pickup, clean it gently with a dry cotton swab.
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 by using a commercial tape head demagnetiser. Read the demagnetiser’s instructions carefully before use.
QT-CD131H(SUK) TINSE0007SJZZ
Note:
The AC power lead is located in the polystyrene.
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.

PRECAUTIONS
General
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 FUNCTION switch to STAND-BY and then to ON again.
If an electrical 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 other than 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, storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause con­densation inside the cabinet (CD pickup, tape heads, etc.). Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction. If this happens, leave the power on with no disc (or cassette) in the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour).
Warning:
CD players use a laser pickup which can damage the eyes if viewed directly. Do not look at the pickup, and do not touch the pickup directly.
AC power lead
If the unit will not be used for a long period of
time, remove the AC power lead from the AC socket.
Connection of the AC power lead to the unit disconnects the batteries.
Never use a power lead other than the one supplied. Use of a power lead other than the one supplied may cause an electric shock or fire.
Battery use
Insert the batteries according to the direction
indicated on the rear panel.
Replace all old batteries with new ones at the same time.
Do not mix old and new batteries.
Remove the batteries if they are weak or if the
unit will not be used for long periods of time. This will prevent potential damage due to battery leakage.
Caution:
Do not use rechargeable batteries (nickel-cad­mium battery, etc.).
If the memory batteries are not inserted and the power is disconnected, the tuner’s preset memories will be erased.
Battery replacement:
Replace the batteries when they become weak and/or recording or playback is impaired. This may occur even though radio broadcasts are audible.
Replace the memory batteries approximately once a year.
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.
Cassette tape
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.
