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 sam e 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.

ACCESSORY
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, as pulling the lead can damage internal wires.
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 ON/STAND-BY 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.
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.
The apparatus is designed for use in moderate climate.
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.

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.
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.

HEADPHONES
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.
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.
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.
Connect the headphones plug to the PHONES socket. The speakers will be automatically dis­connected. Adjust the volume by using the VOL­UME control.
