Special Notes
NOTES FOR USERS IN THE U.K. AND IRELAND
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
orASTAapproved 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.
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.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug
without the fuse cover fitted.
n
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compat-
ible with the plug supplied, cut-off the mains plug and fit an appropriate
type.
IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

ꢀ Care of compact discs
/Ac
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 enjoy-
ment from your CD collection and player.
o
r
Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label side from which signals
are read. Do not mark this surface.
aut
e
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.

Using the Radio Data System (RDS) (continued)
Notes:
ꢀ Notes for RDS operation
Whilst the same programme as the specified PTY (or TA) is being broadcast, the
unit will not switch to an ON (other network) station.
If there are more than two other network stations, compare the strength of signal
and tune in to the station with the strongest signal (EON-AF). If other network sta-
tion has been stored in the preset channel memory, the unit will switch to that
channel.
If any of the following events occur, it does not mean that the unit is faulty:
"PS", "NO PS" and a station name appear alternately, and the unit does not oper-
ate properly.
If a particular station is not broadcasting properly or a station is conducting tests,
the RDS reception function may not work properly.
When you receive an RDS station whose signal it too weak, information like the
station name may not be displayed.
If you want to leave an ON (other network) station tuned in by the EON and return
to the station you were receiving, press the EON button.
"NO PS" or "NO PTY" will flash for about 5 seconds, and then the frequency will be
displayed.
After the unit returns to the original station, the stand-by mode will still be active.
(The "TI" or "PTY" will remain lit.)
The unit does not switch between ON stations. It returns to the original station.
If there is any problem with the ON station the unit switched to, "WEAK SIG" will
appear and the unit will return to the original station.
About the "TP" and "TA" indicators:
If the signal from the ON station the unit switched to is very weak, the unit will
search for another station with the strongest signal. However, if the signals from all
stations are weak or not good (due to electrical noise), the unit displays "WEAK
SIG" and returns to the original station.

Before Recording to a MiniDisc
ꢀ Disc writing (TOC)
ꢀ Notes for recording
SHARP is not liable for damage or loss of your recording arising from malfunction
of this unit.
The TOC (Table of Contents) is information on
track numbers and recording areas to allow the
unit to recognise musical selections or sounds.
The entire MiniDisc is controlled depending on
this TOC, which enables the unit to find the be-
ginning of a track quickly or to automatically
record in a vacant area.
When recording important selections, be sure to make a preliminary test to ensure
that the desired material is being properly recorded.
The VOLUME, SURROUND, X-BASS and PASS/EQ controls can be adjusted with
no effect to the recorded signal (Variable Sound Monitor).
Area for TOC Area for record-
ꢀ About ATRAC
(recording track
numbers, track
names, etc.)
ing the sound
The ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding) system compresses the sound
data into 1/5 by cutting out the inaudible sound. Since the sound is selected based on
psychoacoustics masking, the sound quality is not impaired.
This unit is equipped with the ATRAC3 compressing system that can reduce the
sound data to 1/10 or 1/20 of it's original size.
When you start recording or editing, "TOC" will appear on the display.
s
This indicates that information in the TOC is now being changed according to the
recording or editing being performed. (The changed TOC is not yet recorded on the
MiniDisc at this time.)
By employing this system, 2 times and 4 times long recording is enabled in stereo
mode.

You stop recording.
You switch to another input source.
You eject the MiniDisc.
You set the unit to the stand-by mode.

and consequently proper playback may not be possible.

Note:
Recording from a CD to a MiniDisc starts even if all the tracks on the CD cannot fit
in the MiniDisc. In that case, both the CD and MD stop when the MD becomes full.
When the CD reaches its end, recording to MD will stop simultaneously.
You can record from a CD you programmed.
Notes for long recording mode:
Tracks recorded in 2 times long recording or 4 times long recording mode cannot
be played with units that do not support these modes.
On such a unit, "LP :" is displayed at the beginning of the track and no sound is
heard. (The operation and the display may vary depending on the unit.)
Recording can be performed in repeat playback mode. The repeat playback can
be switched during recording.
Note for high speed recording:
Due to the scratch, dirt, or the recorded condition, the sound may be cut in pieces or
the noise is heard from the MD recorded in high speed. If this occurs, record the MD
at the normal speed.
To stop recording:
Press the CD or MD button.
The CD and MiniDisc will stop.
Caution for 4 times long recording (LP4):
After use:
Special compressing method allows the 4 times long recording to realize long-time
stereo recording. Therefore, some noise is recorded occasionally.
If sound quality is the main requirement, stereo recording or 2 times long recording is
recommended.

What is a MiniDisc?

If there are scratches on discs, those sections will be au-

ꢀ Types of discs
There are two types of discs: playback-only and recordable types.
Playback-only MiniDisc:
isa
This type of MiniDisc is used for commercially available
prerecorded music. This is the same kind of optical disc as
CDs. Playback is performed using an optical pickup. (Re-
cording and editing are not possible.)
A Shutter will be used on only
one side (back).
Recordable MiniDisc:
This is a "raw disc" on which recording can be performed.
A magneto optical disc is used. Recordings are made us-
ing a laser and magnetic field. Repeated recording is pos-
sible.
Shutters will be used on both
sides.

ꢀ If trouble occurs (reset)
ꢀ Before transporting the unit
Remove the CD and MiniDisc from the unit. Your unit checks whether there are any
discs inside. "CD NO DISC" and "MD NO DISC" appear if no disc is inside. Then, set
the unit to the power stand-by mode. Carrying the unit with discs left inside can dam-
age it.
When this product is subjected to strong external interference (mechanical shock,
excessive static electricity, abnormal supply voltage due to lightning, etc.) or if it is
operated incorrectly, it may malfunction.
If such a problem occurs, do the following:
Unplug the power lead from the AC socket. Then, plug it in again and retry the
operation.
Caution:
This operation will erase all data stored in memory including clock, timer settings,
tuner preset, and CD or MiniDisc programme.
ꢀ Condensation
t
Sudden temperature changes, storage or
operation in an extremely humid environ-
ment may cause condensation inside the
cabinet (CD pickup, MD pickup, etc.) or on
the transmitter on the remote control.
Condensation can cause the unit to mal-
function. If this happens, leave the power on
with no disc in the unit until normal playback
is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any con-
densation on the transmitter with a soft cloth
before operating the unit.
