Recording and playback of any material may require con-
sent, which SHARP is unable to give. Please refer partic-
ularly to the provisions of the Copyright Act 1956, the
Dramatic and Musical Performers Protection Act 1958,
the Performs Protection Acts 1963 and 1972 and to any

z

This equipment complies with the requirements of Direc-
tives 89/336/EEC and 73/23/EEC as amended by 93/68/
EEC.

z

When the ON/STAND-BY button is set at STAND-BY
position, mains voltage is still present inside the unit.
When the ON/STAND-BY button is set at STAND-BY
position, the unit may be brought into operation by the
timer mode or remote control.

Warning:
This unit contains no user serviceable parts. Never remove
covers unless qualified to do so. This unit contains danger-
ous voltages, always remove mains plug from the socket
before any service operation and when not in use for a long
period.

Warning:
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this appli-
ance to dripping or splashing. No objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

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 harm-
ful to the eyes, do not attempt to disassemble the cabinet.
Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

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 same 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 in-
structions 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 ELEC-
TRICIAN.

z

Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well
ventilated area and ensure that there is at least 10 cm
(4") of free space along the sides, top and back of the
equipment.

z

Do not use oil, solvents, petrol, paint thinners or insecti-
cides on the unit.

z

Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures
higher than 60°C (140°F) or to extreme low tempera-
tures.

z

Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic
fields, excessive dust, humidity and electronic/electrical
equipment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.) which gen-
erates electrical noise.

z

Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it
from the AC socket, as pulling the lead can damage inter-
nal wires.

z

When cleaning the heads, pinch rollers, 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.

z

Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration,
and do not place anything on the top of the unit.

z

If the unit does not work properly whilst in use, discon-
nect the AC power lead from the AC socket. Plug the AC
power lead back in, and then press the ON/STAND-BY
button to turn the power on.

z

If an electrical storm is taking place near you, it is sug-
gested that you disconnect the AC power lead from the
AC socket for safety.

z

The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the
ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers,
tablecloths, curtains, etc.

z

No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should
be placed on the apparatus.

z

Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects
of battery disposal.

z

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 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.

„

The sound level at a given volume setting depends on a
combination of speaker efficiency, location and various
other factors. It is advisable to avoid exposure to high vol-
ume levels, which occur whilst turning the unit on with the
volume control setting up high, or whilst continually listening
at high volumes.

„

Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an
extremely humid environment may cause condensation
inside the cabinet (CD pickup, tape heads, etc.) or on the
transmitter LED on the remote control.
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction. If this hap-
pens, leave the power on with no disc (or cassette) in the
unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe
off any condensation on the transmitter LED with a soft cloth
before operating the unit.

„

Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mis-
tracking can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc
surface. Follow the guidelines below for maximum enjoy-
ment from your discs and unit.

z

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.

z

Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and
excessive moisture.

z

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.

„

z

For playback, use normal or low-noise tape for the best
sound. (Metal or CrO  tape is not recommended.) For
recording, use only normal tape.

z

Do not use C-120 tapes, tapes with large diameter reels,
or poor-quality tapes, as they may cause malfunctions.

z

Before loading a tape into the cassette compartment,
tighten the slack with a pen or pencil.

z

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.

z

TAPE 1: Playback only. TAPE 2: Playback or record.
