PRECAUTIONS

Warning:

■ General

The voltage used must be the same as that speci-

● Please ensure that the equipment is positioned

fied on this unit. Using this product with a higher

and may result in a fire or other type of accident

and back.There must also be a minimum of 20cm

(8") of free space on the top of the unit.

causing damage. SHARP will not be held respon-

sible for any damage resulting from use of this unit

with a voltage other than that which is specified.

● Do not use oil, solvents, petrol, paint thinners or

insecticides on the unit.

● Do not expose the unit to moisture, to tempera-

tures higher than 60°C (140°F) or to extreme low

temperatures.

■ Volume control

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 volume

levels, which occur whilst turning the unit on with

the volume control setting up high, or whilst con-

tinually listening at high volumes.

● Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong

magnetic fields, excessive dust, humidity and

electronic/electrical equipment (home comput-

ers, facsimiles, etc.) which generates electrical

noise.

● Hold the AC power plug by the head when re-

moving it from the AC socket, since pulling the

lead can damage internal wires.

● Do not remove the outer cover, as this may re-

sult in electric shock.

■ Condensation

Refer internal service to your local SHARP ser-

vice facility.

Sudden temperature changes, storage or opera-

tion in an extremely humid environment may cause

condensation inside the cabinet (CD pickup, MD

pickup, etc.) or on the transmitter LED on the re-

mote control.

● Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from

vibration, and do not place anything on the top

of the unit.

Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction.

If this happens, leave the power on with no disc in

the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1

hour). Wipe off any condensation on the transmit-

ter LED with a soft cloth before operating the unit.

● If the unit malfunctions whilst in use, press the

ON/STAND-BY button to enter the stand-by

mode, then disconnect 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.

Warning:

● 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.

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.

number of FM stations are now providing. It allows

these FM stations to send additional signals along

with their regular programme signals. For example,

the stations send their station names, and informa-

tion about what type of programme they broadcast,

such as sports or music, etc.

When tuned to an FM station which provide the

RDS service, the RDS will appear, the station

frequency (and then the station name if sent) is

displayed.

The TP (Traffic Programme) will appear on the

display when the received broadcast carries traffic

announcements, and the TA (Traffic Announce-

ment) will appear whilst a traffic announcement is

being received.

EON will appear whilst the EON (Enhanced Other

Networks information) data is being broadcast.

The PTYI (Dynamic PTY Indicator) will appear

whilst the Dynamic PTY station is being received.

In the following cases, the EON stand-by mode will be cancelled.

● Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the stand-by mode.

● When the unit is switched to another band in the EON stand-by mode

● When you change the FM station whilst in the EON stand-by mode

● When a preset call is made

Notes:

● During the same programme as the specified PTY (or TA) is being broadcast on the station you are

receiving, the unit will not switch to other network station.

● If there are more than two other network stations you want to listen to, compare the strength of each

station's signal and tune in the station with the strongest signal. (EON-AF)

However, if the frequency of other network station has been stored in the preset channel memory, the

unit will switch to that preset channel.

● If you want to cancel the reception of an ON (other network) station which was tuned in by the EON

system and return to the original station you were receiving, press the EON button.

● 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 will not switch from the ON station to another network station. The unit returns to the original

station.

● When the unit switches automatically to "other network" station, if there is any problem with this station

or the station cannot be received properly "WEAK SIG" will appear and the unit will return to the original

station.

● Even if the unit switches from the station you are listening to directly to one "other network" station

which is in the preset memory, if the signals is very weak, the unit will search for another station of other

net work and find out the station with the strongest signal and switch to it.

However, if the signals from all the other network stations are very weak, or if the tuning conditions are

very bad (due to electrical noise), the unit will be displayed "WEAK SIG", and the unit will return to the

original station you were receiving.

RECORDING

■ Differences from tape recordings

You cannot record music on the re-

verse side of a MiniDisc.

MiniDiscs are single sided and should

only be inserted with the correct side up.

You can check the total or remaining

recordable time (possible recording)

before recording.

This lets you plan a recording session

so that the last song will not come to an

abrupt end before it has finished.

You don’t need to search for the start-

ing point at which to record.

The unit automatically finds the point at

which recording can start.Recording will

start from that point.

The date and time of a recording are

automatically saved with the record-

ing.

If you have set the date and time, they

will be automatically recorded when a re-

cording is made.

■ Disc writing (TOC)

■ About track numbers

TheTOC (Table of Contents) is information on track

numbers and recording areas to allow the unit to

recognize musical selections or sounds.

The entire MD is controlled depending on thisTOC,

which enables the unit to find the beginning of a

track quickly or to automatically record in a vacant

area.

When recording from a CD

New track numbers will be created automatically

according to the original tracks (Synchro mark func-

tion).

● When you record from a CD to a MiniDisc, the

track numbers recorded on the MiniDisc may not

match the track numbers on the CD.

If this happens, correct the track numbers using

the DIVIDE(page 36) and COMBINE (page 36)

functions after recording.

When you start recording or editing, “TOC” will

appear in the display window.

Recordings cannot be made in the follow-

ing situations.

This indicates that information in the TOC is now

being changed according to recording or editing

being performed. (The changed TOC is not yet

recorded on the MiniDisc at this time.)

● If you try recording on a playback-only MiniDisc

(commercially available music)

● If a MiniDisc is protected against accidental

erasure (Page 44)

● If there is no more recording time left on the disc

● If a disc’s TOC has been damaged

The TOC is recorded when

● you stop recording.

● you switch to another input source.

● you eject the MiniDisc.

● you enter the stand-by mode.

● If you are trying to copy a digital signal that has

been encoded with the SCMS signal (Serial Copy

Management System)

Do NOT unplug the power lead whilst the TOC is

being recorded (“TOC” is flashing) and do NOT

impart shock to the unit. Otherwise, TOC will not

be correctly recorded, and consequently proper

playback may not be possible.

Notes:

● When recording important selections, be sure to

make a pre-liminary test to ensure that the

desired material is being properly recorded.

● The VOLUME, X-BASS and SURROUND

controls may be adjusted with no effect to the

recorded signal. (Variable Sound Monitor)

WHAT IS A MINIDISC?

The disc is stored in a cartridge.You can handle it

easily without worrying about dust, fingerprints, etc.

However, dust entering the opening of the cartridge,

dirt on the cartridge, warping, etc. may cause

malfunctions. Please note the following.

■ AdaptiveTRansform Acoustic Cod-

ing [ATRAC]

The ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Cod-

ing) is a new technol-ogy that is designed to

eliminate the information in sounds which you can

not hear and to compress the remaining sound data

so that the recording uses about 1/5 of the original

sound information. Sound data is analysed and

filtered to take advantage of psycho acous-

ticmasking.The acoustic quality of the sound is not

impaired.

■ Handling the MiniDisc

Do not touch the disc directly!

Do not open the shutter or touch the disc directly.

If the shutter is opened forcibly, it may break.

Disc

Cartridge

Shutter

■ Types of discs

There are two types of discs: playback-only and

recordable type.

● Playback-only MiniDisc:

This type of MiniDisc is used for commercially

available pre-recorded music. This is the same

kind of optical disc as CDs.Playback is performed

using an optical pickup. (Recording and editing

are not possible.)

Where not to store discs:

Do not store discs in places with high temperatures

or humidity.Specifically, do not leave discs in places

exposed to direct sunlight or in cars with doors and

windows closed. Do not leave discs in places where

sand can get into the cartridge easily (e.g.,

beaches).

● Recordable MiniDisc:

This is a “raw disc” on which recording can be

performed. A magneto optical disc is used.

Recordings are made using a laser and

magnetic field. Repeated recording is possible.

■ To prevent recorded discs from

being erased accidentally

Slide the accidental erase prevention tab, located

on the side of the disc, in the direction indicated by

the arrow.

● The disc will then be protected against acciden-

tal erasure.

A Shutter will be used on

only one side (back).

Shutters will be used on

both sides.

■ How to apply labels

● To add a recording to such a disc, slide the acci-

dental erase prevention tab back to its original

position.

When sticking a label on an MD cartridge, be sure

to observe the following. If a label is not affixed

properly, an MD may become jammed in the unit

such that it can not be removed.

Tab

● Stick a label correctly to the specified area.

(Do not stick labels to areas other than the

specified one.)

Protected against

accidental erasure

● Do not stick one label upon another.

● If a label is peeling off or starts to

come loose, replace it with a new

one.

■ What is a MiniDisc?

● A MiniDisc is a 64 mm (2-1/2") diameter disc

which is stored in a cartridge.MiniDiscs are easy

to handle, compared to compact discs, because

they are protected against dust and scratches.

■ Shock Resistant Memory

During playback, approximately 10 seconds of

information is stored in the semiconductor memory.

Therefore, even when the pickup cannot read

information for a second or two due to an external

shock, the sound continues without interruption

because the information stored in memory is

output.

● Recording and playback use a digital system with

a sound quality that is similar to that found on

compact discs.

MiniDiscs cannot twist or stretch like tapes. The

quality of sound will not deteriorate. MiniDiscs

are extremely durable.

● Never disassemble MiniDiscs.

YES

Correct

Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, how-

ever 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.

● Do not write on either side of the disc, particu-

larly 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 prop-

erly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight

out from the centre, along the radius.
