Notes:
● The AC power lead is located in the packing material or the battery compartment.
● Only the accessory in the drawing is included.
Precautions
● Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 60°C
(140°F) or to extremely 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, 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 ST ANDBY and then to ON again.
● In case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for safety.
● 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 battery
disposal.
Warnings:
● 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.

To an AC socket
Check the setting of the AC voltage selector located on the bottom
before plugging the unit into an AC socket. If necessary , adjust the
selector to correspond to the AC power voltage used in your area.
Selector adjustment:
Slide the selector with a screwdriver to the appropriate voltage number.
(AC 110 - 127 V or AC 220 - 240 V)
AC plug adaptor:
In areas (or countries) where an AC socket as shown in illustration 2
is used, connect the unit using the AC plug adaptor supplied with the
unit, as illustrated. The AC plug adaptor is not included in areas where
the AC wall socket and AC power plug can be directly connected (see
illustration 1 ).
Notes:

■ 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.
Listening to the Radio
1 Set the FUNCTION switch to FM or AM.
2 Turn the TUNING control to tune in to the desired station.
During FM stereo reception, it automatically switches to monaural
when the signal is weak.

Listening to a Cassette Tape
■ Cassette tape
● For playback, use normal or low-noise tapes for the best sound. (Metal or
CrO2 tapes are not recommended.) For recording, use only normal tapes.
● Do not use C-120 tapes, 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.
