PRECAUTIONS

■ Care of compact discs

■ General

● Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well

ventilated area and ensure that there is at least 4" (10cm)

of free space along the sides and back.There must also be

a minimum of 4" (10cm) 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, gasoline, paint thinners or insecti-

cides on the unit.

● Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher

than 140°F (60°C) 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 center, along the radius.

● Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it from

the AC outlet, since pulling the cord can damage internal

wires.

● Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result in elec-

tric shock.

■ Volume control

Warning:

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 while turning the unit on with the volume control setting

up high, or while continually listening at high volumes.

● 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.

■ Condensation

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.

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.

MINIDISC 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 in the direction of the arrow on the top of

the MiniDisc.

When recording from a CD

New track numbers will be created automatically

according to the original tracks (Synchro mark function).

track

MiniDisc

First track

Third track

Track C

Track A

Track B

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.

● 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.

You can check the total or remaining recordable time (pos-

sible recording) before recording.

If this happens, correct the track numbers using the DI-

VIDE (page 29) and COMBINE (page 29) functions after

recording.

This lets you plan a recording session so that the last song

will not come to an abrupt end before it has finished.

Recordings cannot be made in the following situa-

tions.

■ Disc writing (TOC)

● 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

36).

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

37).

● When the "TOC FULL" message appears (page 39).

● 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.

● The VOLUME, X-BASS, EQUALIZER and SURROUND

controls can be adjusted during recording, with no effect

on the recorded signal.

Area for TOC (recording track Area for recording

the sound

numbers, track names, etc.)

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 cord while 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 analyzed and

filtered to take advantage of psycho acoustic masking. 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 2-1/2" (64 mm) 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 durable.

● Never disassemble MiniDiscs.
