Precautions
● 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
● This unit should only be used within the
range of 5°C - 35°C (41°F - 95°F).
● The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items, such
as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.
● No naked flame sources, such as lighted
candles, should be placed on the apparatus.
● Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of battey disposal.
removing it from the AC socket as pulling the
lead can damage internal wires.
● When cleaning the heads, pinch roller, etc.,
remove the AC power lead from the AC
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, set the
FUNCTION switch to STAND-BY and then
to ON again.

● 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.
● 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.
● In case of an electrical storm, unplug the
unit for safety.

power is connected.
If you will not be using the CD player, set
the FUNCTION switch to STAND-BY.
● Do not open the CD compartment whilst the

Clean, replace, or reload the disc properly.
● Keep foreign objects out of the CD compartment.
● Subjecting the unit to shock or vibration
may cause mistracking.
● Keep the CD compartment closed except
when loading discs.
● Playing certain compact discs at a high volume may cause mistracking. In this case,
listen at a lower volume.
● If TV or radio interference occurs during CD
operation, move the unit away from the TV
or radio.
■ 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.

Headphones
To PHONES
● Before plugging in or unplugging the headphones, make sure the volume level is reduced.
● Be sure your headphones have a 3.5 mm
(1/8") diameter plug and are between 16
ohms and 50 ohms impedance. The recommended impedance is 32 ohms.
Maintenance
■ Cleaning the lens and tape-
handling parts
● Do not touch the laser pickup lens. If fin-
gerprints 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 cap-
stan 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.
A
● When headphones are connected, the speakers are disconnected automatically. Adjust the
VOLUME control for desired volume.
■ Cleaning the cabinet
Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth
and a diluted soap solution, then wipe with a
dry cloth.
Caution:
Do not use oil, solvents, petrol, paint thinners
or insecticides on the unit.
■ 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).
