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  
in a well ventilated area and ensure that there is  
voltage other than which is specified is dangerous  
at least 10cm (4") of free space along the sides  
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 generate 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 serv-  
ice 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.

● 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 signal is very weak, the unit will search for another station of other  
network 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.

■ 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  
(Page 45)  
● When the “TOC FULL ” message appears  
(Page 47)  
● 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 preliminary test to ensure that the  
desired material is being properly recorded.  
● The VOLUME, X-BASS, EQUALIZER 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 technology 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 prerecorded 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).  
A Shutter will be used on  
only one side (back).  
■ To prevent recorded discs from  
● 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.  
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.  
Shutters will be used on  
both sides.  
● To add a recording to such a disc, slide the acci-  
dental erase prevention tab back to its original  
position.  
■ How to apply labels  
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.  
● Stick a label correctly to the specified area.  
(Do not stick labels to areas other than the  
specified one.)  
Tab  
Protected against  
accidental erasure  
● Do not stick one label upon another.  
■ What is a MiniDisc?  
● If a label is peeling off or starts to  
come loose, replace it with a new  
one.  
● 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  
● 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.  
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.  
● Never disassemble MiniDiscs.

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.
