PRECAUTIONS  
Care of compact discs  
General  
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 col-  
lection 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.  
Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well ventilated  
area and ensure that there is at least 5 cm (2") of free space along  
the sides, top and back of the equipment.  
Do not use oil, solvents, petrol, paint thinners or insecticides on the  
unit.  
Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 60˚C  
(140˚F) or to extreme low temperatures.  
Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive mois-  
ture.  
Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic fields, ex-  
cessive dust, humidity and electronic/electrical equipment (home  
computers, facsimiles, etc.) which generates electrical noise.  
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.  
When cleaning the heads, pinch rollers, etc, remove the AC power  
plug from the wall socket as the unit contains high voltages.  
Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result in electric shock.  
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.  
NO  
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.  
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.  
YES  
Correct  
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 dan-  
gerous and may result in a fire or other type of accident causing dam-  
age. SHARP will not be held responsible for any damage resulting from  
use of this unit with a voltage other than that which is specified.  
Cassette tape  
This deck features an auto tape selector. Just load a tape, and the  
tape formula being used will be sensed automatically.  
For playback, use normal (low-noise), CrO2 or metal tape for the  
best sound. For recording, use normal (low-noise) or CrO2 tape.  
Metal tape cannot be used for recording.  
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 continually listening at high volumes.  
Do not use C-120 tapes, tapes with large diameter reels, or poor-  
quality tapes, as they may cause malfunctions.  
Before loading a tape into the cassette compartment, tighten the  
slack with a pen or pencil.  
Cassettes have removable tabs which prevent accidental recording  
or erasing from taking place. Removing the tab will protect the corre-  
sponding side from being erased. Cover the tab holes with adhesive  
tape to erase or record again.  
When covering erasure prevention tab holes, do not cover the CrO2  
and metal detection holes located between them. Otherwise, the deck  
will sense the tape as normal tape.  
Condensation  
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely  
humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD  
pickup, MD pickup, tape heads, etc.) or on the transmitter LED on the  
remote control.  
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction.  
If this happens, leave the power on with no disc (or cassette) in the  
unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any  
condensation on the transmitter LED with a soft cloth before operating  
the unit.

RDS is a broadcasting service which a growing 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 information about what type of pro-  
gramme 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 re-  
ceived broadcast carries traffic announcements, and the TA (Traffic  
Announcement) will appear whilst a traffic announcement is being re-

ASPM (Auto Station Program Memory)  
(Remote control operation)  
It is recommended that you store stations in memory using ASPM.  
(This memory can be used for PTY searches and EON switching.)  
When the ASPM button is pressed, whilst tuned to the FM band, the RDS (Radio  
Data System) function will automatically search for new RDS stations. Up to 40  
stations can be stored in memory. (If you have already stored some stations in  
memory, the number of new stations you can store will be less.)

After "ASPM" has flashed for about 4 seconds, scanning will start. (87.50 -  
108.00 MHz )  
When an RDS station is found, the RDS will appear for a short time and the  
station will be stored in memory.  
After scanning, the number of stations that have been automatically stored in  
memory will be displayed for 4 seconds, and then "END" will appear for 4  
seconds.

Notes:  
Only RDS stations will be stored in memory.  
If the same station is broadcasting on different frequencies, the transmission  
with the strongest broadcast frequency will be stored in memory.  
Any station which has the same frequency as one which has been already stored  
in memory will not be stored again.  
If a 40th station is stored in memory during a scan, the scanning will stop at  
that station. The number of stations and "**MEMORY END" will each be dis-  
played for 4 seconds.  
(4 seconds)  
If no stations have been stored in memory, "0MEMORY END" will flash for about  
4 seconds.  
If 40 stations have already been stored in memory and the ASPM button is  
pressed, "0MEMORY END" will appear immediately and the scan will be aborted.  
If you want to redo the ASPM operation from the beginning, erase the preset  
memory, and then perform steps 1 - 4.  
To stop the ASPM operation before it is complete:  
Press the ASPM button whilst it is scanning for stations.  
The stations that have already been stored in memory will be kept there.  
To erase all of the contents of preset memory:  
The unit is in the stand-by mode.  
Hold down the TRACK EDIT button and the ENTER button, and then press the  
ON/STAND-BY button.  
After performing this operation, all of the preset memory information will be

RECORDING  
Differences from tape recordings  
You cannot record music on the reverse side  
of a MiniDisc.  
You can check the total or remaining recordable  
time (possible recording) before recording.  
MiniDiscs are single sided and should only be inserted  
with the correct side up.  
This lets you plan a recording session so that the last  
song will not come to an abrupt end before it has fin-  
ished.  
You don’t need to search for the starting point  
at which to record.  
The date and time of a recording are automat-  
ically saved with the recording.  
If you have set the date and time, they will be automat-  
ically recorded when a recording is made.  
The unit automatically finds the point at which recording  
can start. Recording will start from that point.  
Disc writing (TOC)  
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 MD is controlled depending on this TOC, which enables the unit to find  
the beginning of a track quickly or to automatically record in a vacant area.  
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  
recording or editing being performed. (The changed TOC is not yet recorded on  
the MiniDisc at this time.)  
Area for TOC (recording track Area for recording  
the sound  
numbers, track names, etc.)  
The TOC is recorded when  
you stop recording.  
you switch to another input source.  
you eject the MiniDisc.  
you turn the power off.  
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.

Whilst editing, the "TOC" indicator is displayed. This means the edit results  
have not been recorded on the MiniDisc.  
To record the results, select another input or set the unit to the stand-by  
mode. During writing, the "TOC" display will flash.  
Once the "TOC" goes out, all editing changes have been recorded to the  
disc.

(Continued)  
We will explain the 6 editing functions with which you can create your own original discs from recorded MiniDiscs. Playback-only MiniDiscs cannot  
be edited.  
DIVIDE  
MOVE  
A track can be divided into two tracks. If two selections were re-  
corded as a single track because there was not enough silent space  
between the pieces, you can use the DIVIDE function to separate  
the selections.  
The order of the recorded tracks can be changed. This feature is  
different from programme play. A new track order can be recorded  
directly on the disc. When the unit is in the stand-by mode, the  
revised order will not be changed.  
This feature is also convenient for identifying specific points with one  
selection so that you can locate those points easily whenever you  
like.

This unit can hold up to 255 tracks. However, even if the number  
of tracks assigned has not reached 255, it might not be possible to  
make any further divisions of tracks.

COMBINE  
Programmed move  
Two adjacent tracks (for example, the third and fourth tracks) can  
be combined.  
If there is a prolonged silent section in the middle of a selection that  
is recorded, a single piece of music may be recorded as two tracks.  
If this happens, these two tracks can be combined into a single  
track.  
This function allows the track numbers to be automatically rear-  
ranged in the order specified for programmed playback. The track  
numbers will be adjusted as needed, automatically.  
(The tracks that are not included in the programmed selections will  
be put at the end of the new track numbers.)

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.  
Handling the MiniDisc  
Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding [ATRAC]  
The ATRAC (Adaptive TRansform Acoustic Coding) 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.  
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.  
Sound data is analysed and filtered to take advantage of psycho acous-  
tic masking. The acoustic quality of the sound is not impaired.  
Disc  
Shutter  
Cartridge  
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.)  
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.  
Where not to store discs:  
Do not store discs in places with high temperatures or humidity. Spe-  
cifically, 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).  
To prevent recorded discs from being erased ac-  
Shutters will be used on  
both sides.  
A Shutter will be used on  
only one side (back).  
cidentally (accidental erasure prevention)  
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.  
To add a recording to such a disc, slide the accidental erase preven-  
tion 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.  
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.  
Recording and playback use a digital system with a sound quality  
that is similar to that found on compact discs.  
Shock Resistant Memory  
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.

<P=001>  
MINIDISC SYSTEM LIMITATIONS  
In the MD system, the delimiter of the recording area on an MD is programmed  
in a TOC. If partial erasing, recording and editing are repeated several times,  
TOC information will fill up, even though the number of tracks has not reached  
the limit (255 tracks), and further recording will be impossible. (If you use the all  
erase function, this MD can be used from the beginning.)  
Even if the maximum recording time of a MiniDisc has not  
been reached, "TOC FULL" may be displayed.  
If there is any flaw on the MiniDisc, that part is automatically excluded from the  
space available for recording. Therefore, the recording time becomes shorter.  
Even if the maximum recording time of a MiniDisc has not  
been reached, "DISC FULL" may be displayed.  
When the remaining recording time of a disc is displayed, short tracks less than  
12 seconds long may not be included in the total.  
Even if several short tracks are erased, the remaining rec-  
ording time may not show an increase.  
Two tracks may not be combined in editing.  
For MiniDiscs on which repeated recording and editing operations were per-  
formed, the COMBINE function may not work.  
A track recorded from a CD (digital recording) and a track recorded from a radio  
or other equipment (analogue recording) cannot be combined.  
A cluster (about 2 seconds) is normally the minimum unit of recording. So, even  
if a track is less than 2 seconds long, it will use about 2 seconds of space on  
the disc. Therefore, the time actually available for recording may be less than  
the remaining time displayed.  
The total of the recorded time and time remaining on a  
disc may not add up to the maximum possible recording  
time.  
If there are scratches on discs, those sections will be automatically avoided (no  
recording will be placed in those sections). Therefore, the recording time will be  
reduced.  
An MD which has been recorded or edited repeatedly may skip during fast reverse  
or fast forward.  
If recorded tracks are fast reversed or fast forwarded, the  
sound may skip.

Moisture condensation  
If a problem occurs  
In the following cases, condensation may form inside the unit.  
If this product is subjected to strong external interference (mechanical  
shock, excessive static electricity, abnormal supply voltage due to light-  
ning, etc.) or if it is operated incorrectly, it may malfunction or the  
display may not function correctly. If such a problem occurs, do the  
following:  
Shortly after turning on a heater.  
When the unit is placed in a room where there is excessive steam  
or moisture.  
When the unit is moved from a cool place to a warm place.  
Connect the AC power lead to the AC socket, and press the RESET  
button once on the rear of the main unit.  
When the unit has condensation inside, the disc signals cannot be  
read, and the product may not function properly.  
When the RESET button is pressed, all of the contents in memory  
(clock and timer settings, and CD presets) other than the tuner sta-  
tions will be erased.  
If this happens, remove the disc. The condensation should evaporate  
in approximately 1 hour. The unit will then function properly.  
If strange sounds, smells or smoke come out of the unit or if a foreign  
object falls into the unit, turn off the power, unplug the AC power  
lead from the AC socket, immediately. Contact the shop where you  
purchased the unit.

MAINTENANCE  
Internal care  
Dirty heads, capstans or pinch rollers can cause poor sound and tape jams.  
Clean these parts with a cotton swab moistened with commercial head/pinch  
roller cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.  
After long use, the deck’s heads and capstans may become magnetised, causing  
poor sound. Demagnetise these parts once every 30 hours of playing/recording  
time by using a commercial tape head demagnetiser. Read the demagnetiser’s  
instructions carefully before use.  
External care  
Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap solution, then  
wipe with a dry cloth.  
Do not use chemically treated cleaning cloths or other chemicals.  
SPECIFICATIONS  
As part of our policy of continuous improvement, SHARP reserves the right to make design and specification changes for product improvement
