PRECAUTIONS
■ General
■ Care of compact discs
● Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well
ventilated area and ensure that there is at least 10cm (4")
of free space along the sides and back.There must also be
a minimum of 10cm (4") of free space on the top of the
unit.
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 ex-
● Do not use oil, solvents, petrol, paint thinners or insecti-
cides 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 gen-
erate electrical noise.
cessive 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.
● Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it from
the AC socket, since pulling the lead can damage internal
wires.
● Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result in elec-
tric shock.
NO
Refer internal service to your local SHARP service facility.
● Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration,
and do not place anything on the top of the unit.
YES
Correct
● 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.
■ Volume control
● 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.
The sound level at a given volume setting depends on a com-
bination of speaker efficiency, location and various other fac-
tors.
It is advisable to avoid exposure to high volume levels, which
occur whilst turning the unit on with the volume control set-
ting up high, or whilst continually listening at high volumes.
● The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ven-
tilation openings with items, such as newspapers, table-
cloths, curtains, etc.
● No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should
be placed on the apparatus.
■ Condensation
● Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of
battery disposal.
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an ex-
tremely humid environment may cause condensation inside
the cabinet (CD pickup, MiniDisc pickup, etc.) or on the trans-
mitter LED on the remote control.
● The apparatus is designed for use in moderate climate.
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 remote control transmitter LED with a
soft cloth before operating the unit.
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. SHARP will not be
held responsible for any damage resulting from use of this
unit with a voltage other than that which is specified.

RECORDING
■ Differences from tape recordings
■ About track numbers
You cannot record music on the reverse side of a Mini-
Disc.
MiniDiscs are single sided and should only be inserted with
the correct side up.
When recording from a CD
New track numbers will be created automatically
according to the original tracks (Synchro mark function).

Track B
Third track

First track
Third track
Track C
You don't need to search for the starting point at which
to record.
The unit automatically finds the point at which recording can
start. Recording will start from that point.
Track A
Track B
● When you record from a CD to a MiniDisc, the track num-
bers recorded on the MiniDisc may not match the track
numbers on the CD.
If this happens, correct the track numbers using the DI-
VIDE (page 27) and COMBINE (page 27) functions after
recording.
You can check the total or remaining recordable time (pos-
sible 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.
■ Disc writing (TOC)
Recordings cannot be made in the following situa-
tions.
● If you try recording on a playback-only MiniDisc (commer-
cially available music MiniDisc).
The TOC (Table of Contents) is information on track numbers
and recording areas to allow the unit to recognize musical
selections or sounds.
The entire MiniDisc 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.
● If a MiniDisc is protected against accidental erasure (page
34).
● If there is no more recording time left on the disc (page
35).
● When the "TOC FULL" message appears (page 37).
● If a disc's TOC has been damaged.
Notes:
● When recording important selections, be sure to make a
preliminary test to ensure that the desired material is be-
ing properly recorded.
Area for TOC (recording track
numbers, track names, etc.)
Area for recording
the sound
● The VOLUME, X-BASS, EQUALIZER and SURROUND
controls can be adjusted with no effect to the recorded sig-
nal (Variable Sound Monitor).
When you start recording or editing, "TOC" will appear in the
display window.
This indicates that information in the TOC is now being
changed according to the recording or editing being per-
formed. (The changed TOC is not yet recorded on the
MiniDisc at this time.)
The TOC is recorded when
● you stop recording.
● you switch to another input source.
● you eject the MiniDisc.
● you enter the stand-by mode.
Do NOT unplug the power lead whilst the TOC is being re-
corded ("TOC" is flashing) and do NOT impart shock to the
unit. Otherwise, TOC will not be correctly recorded, and con-
sequently proper playback may not be possible.

WHAT IS A MINIDISC?
The disc is stored in a cartridge.You can handle it easily with-
out worrying about dust, fingerprints, etc. However, dust en-
tering the opening of the cartridge, dirt on the cartridge, warp-
ing, etc. may cause malfunctions. Please note the following.
■ Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding
[ATRAC]
The ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding) is a new
technology that is designed to eliminate the information in
sounds which you can not hear and to compress the remain-
ing 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 acousticmasking. 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
■ Types of discs
Cartridge
Shutter
There are two types of discs: playback-only and recordable
types.
● 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. (Re-
cording and editing are not possible.)
Where not to store discs:
Do not store discs in places with high temperatures or hu-
midity. 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 car-
tridge easily (e.g. beaches).
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.
■ 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 accidental erasure.
Shutters will be used on
both sides.
● To add a recording to such a disc, slide the accidental erase
prevention tab back to its original position.
■ How to apply labels
Tab
When sticking a label on a MiniDisc cartridge, be sure to ob-
serve the following. If a label is not affixed properly, a
MiniDisc may become jammed in the unit such that it can not
be removed.
Protected against
accidental erasure
● Stick a label correctly to the specified area.
(Do not stick labels to areas other than the specified one.)
● 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
CDs, 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 CDs.
MiniDiscs cannot twist or stretch like tapes. The quality of
sound will not deteriorate. MiniDiscs are extremely dura-
ble.
● Never disassemble MiniDiscs.
