PRECAUTIONS  
■ Important  
■ Storing the unit  
● Do not wear your earphones when you  
are crossing streets or near traffic.  
● Do not use your earphones whilst driving a  
motor vehicle, it may create a dangerous  
traffic hazard and may be illegal.  
Avoid using or leaving the unit in the  
following places.  
● Places exposed to direct sunlight for many  
hours (especially in cars with the doors and  
windows closed) or near heaters.  
(The cabinet may deform, change colour  
or the unit may malfunction.)  
Remember to obey all of the safety rules in  
your area.  
● Do not play the unit at a high volume.  
Hearing experts advise against extended  
listening at high volume levels.

other possible problems, observe the  
precautions listed below.  
● Do not disassemble or modify the unit.  
● Do not drop or subject the unit to shock.  
● Do not use the unit near open flames.  
● Do not spill liquid on the unit.  
If you are enjoying listening to music, the  
sound escaping from your earphones may  
annoy people around you.  
If you are using the unit in particularly  
crowded places (such as on trains or buses),  
reduce the volume to avoid annoying people  
around you.  
● Do not use an external power supply,  
other than the 5V DC supplied with this  
unit, as it may damage it.  
● SHARP is not responsible for damage  
due to improper use. Refer all servicing  
to a SHARP authorised service centre.

■ About the rechargeable battery  
To avoid damaging the battery and  
shortening its service life, please note  
the following.  
● Do not drop or subject the battery to  
shock.  
● Do not insert objects (metal etc.) into the  
battery compartment of this product or  
into the rechargeable battery. Do not get  
the terminals dirty. If the rechargeable  
terminals are dirty, the operating time may  
be shortened or it may not be possible to  
charge the battery.  
● After the rechargeable battery is charged  
or used, it will get slightly warm. This is  
normal.  
● A rechargeable nickel-metal hydride  
battery is the only kind that can be used.  
Even if the battery is not used, you  
should charge it at least once every  
three months because of the special  
quality of this battery.  
● The rechargeable battery can be  
charged approximately 300 times.  
● Do not use any battery other than that  
specified. Use of other batteries may  
cause malfunctions.  
● When the operating time is reduced to  
about half the normal amount of time,  
even after a full charge is performed,  
replace the battery with a new one.  
● When charging or when using the  
rechargeable battery, use it within  
an ambient temperature range of  
5°C - 35°C (41°F - 95°F).  
● If the rechargeable battery is used in a  
cold environment, the operating time  
will be reduced.  
● Do not disassemble the battery.  
■ AC power  
Since the rechargeable battery is  
vulnerable to damage, please note  
the following.  
● Do not carry the battery in your pocket  
or a bag together with metal objects  
(keys, coins, jewelry, etc.). The battery  
may short out and generate significant  
amounts of heat.

AC socket.  
● Do not stand or store the battery on a  
metal plate.  
● When the unit is not in use for extended  
periods, remove theAC adaptor from the  
AC socket.  
This may cause the battery to short-circuit,  
and it is dangerous.  
● Do not short-circuit the terminals as they  
will become very hot and will damage  
the battery.  
● Do not dip the battery in water, do not  
dispose of it in a fire, and do not take it  
apart.  
● When you want to carry the recharge-  
able battery, put it into the accessory  
case included with the separately avail-  
able AD-T20BT.  
● Never use anAC adaptor other than the  
one specified. Otherwise, problems or  
serious hazards may be created.

BEFORE RECORDING  
■ Type of recording  
(2) Digital recording  
Connect the unit to equipment that has an  
optical output socket using the optical digital  
cable. Using an optical signal to transfer the  
music to a MiniDisc allows very high quality  
recording.  
Two types of recording are possible: “Ana-  
logue recording” and “Digital recording”.  
There are different cables and connections  
for each type of recording, depending on the  
sockets on the equipment being connected  
to the unit.  
● Main equipment: CD player, MD player,  
Digital radio, etc.  
(1) Analogue recording

Notes:  
● Recordable MiniDisc:  
This is a “raw disc” on which recording  
can be performed.  
● When making important recordings, it  
is recommended that you use the AC  
adaptor. A fully charged rechargeable  
battery or alkaline batteries should be  
loaded into the unit. Then, even if a  
power failure occurs, the power  
source will switch over to the battery  
automatically.  
This is a magneto-optical disc.  
Recordings are made using a laser and  
a modulated magnetic field. Repeated  
recording is possible.  
● When using the rechargeable battery or  
the alkaline batteries, if the volume level  
is set to “0”, the battery consumption  
will be less than when listening to the  
recording whilst it is being made.  
● Insert each plug firmly. If the connections  
are poor, the recording may not be made  
properly. Always keep the plugs clean.  
If the plugs are dirty, electrical noise may  
be recorded.  
Shutters can be  
seen on both sides  
of this type of disc.  
■ 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.  
■ Types of discs  
There are two types of discs: playback-only  
and recordable discs.  
● Playback-only MiniDisc:  
This type of MiniDisc usually contains  
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.)  
Protected against  
accidental erasure  
There will only be a  
shutter on one side  
(the back).  
● To add a recording to such a disc, slide  
the accidental erase prevention tab back  
to its original position.

RECORDING USING THE OPTICAL DIGITAL CABLE  
This is the method used for recording  
digital signals from CDs or MDs exactly  
as they are stored on the original.  
Compared to recordings made from  
analogue inputs, digital recordings have  
extremely high-quality sound.  
There are cases where digital recording  
may be impossible.  
In the following cases digital recording is  
impossible, even if you are using digital  
cables.  
When you attempt to make a new digital  
recording from a track that was digitally  
recorded on a MiniDisc.  
● MiniDiscs are designed so that only first  
generation digital copies can be made.  
Further digital copies are prevented by  
the SCMS (Serial Copy Management  
System).

ABOUT THE TOC  
The TOC (an abbreviation for Table of  
Contents) is information about the track  
numbers and recorded areas that allow  
the unit to find musical selections or  
sounds.  
The entire MD is controlled by the information  
in this TOC, which enables the unit to find the  
beginning of a track quickly or to record  
automatically in a vacant area.  
● The TOC is recorded in a specific area  
on a MiniDisc, which is not used for  
sound recording.  
■ When is the TOC recorded?  
The revised TOC will be recorded on the  
disc automatically when you press the  
■/:OFF button whilst in the stop mode. This  
will also turn the power to this unit off.  
■ About TOC recording  
When you start recording or editing, “TOC”  
will appear in the display.  
The power will be turned off after the TOC  
has been recorded on the disc.  
TOC display  
Caution:  
● Whilst “TOC” or “TOC EDIT!” is displayed,  
do not do any of the following.  
This indicates that information in the TOC is  
now being changed according to recording  
or editing being performed.  
● The changed TOC information will not  
be recorded on the MiniDisc right  
away.  
– Do not jar or bump the main unit.  
– Do not unplug the AC adaptor.  
– Do not remove the rechargeable  
battery or alkaline batteries.  
If you do, the changes in the recorded  
or edited contents will be lost if the TOC  
information is not recorded properly.  
Notes:  
● Whilst “TOC” is displayed, the MiniDisc  
should not be removed. Turn the power  
off first, and then remove the MiniDisc.  
● The edited contents can be stored on  
the disc after several editing steps have  
been performed.

Interrupted sound:  
● This product is designed to eliminate  
interruptions in the sound which can be  
caused by vibrations.  
However, if the unit is continuously ex-  
posed to vibrations or mechanical  
shock, the sound may be interrupted  
momentarily.  
● Since the main unit and the AC adaptor  
can heat up during use, you should  
avoid allowing the unit to be in direct  
contact with your skin for any length of  
time.  
When using the unit with a car adaptor:  
● When you switch off the ignition key  
during playback, the power to this unit  
will also be turned off. Then, when the

However, the power to the unit may  
not be turned off when the ignition is  
turned off, depending on the type of  
car.  
When the sound is distorted:  
● If the volume is too high whilst the bass  
is being emphasised, the sound may  
be distorted, depending on the music  
on the track. If this happens, decrease  
the bass level or lower the volume level.  
● If the volume is increased to “VOL 24”  
or higher, the bass level will be ad-  
justed automatically.  
(This is done to reduce the distortion  
in the sound.)

About the sound skip guard memory:  
During playback, approximately 10 seconds  
of information is stored in the semiconduc-  
tor memory. Therefore, even when the  
pickup cannot read information for a second  
or two due to an external shock, the sound  
will continue without interruption because the  
information stored in memory is used.  
About the auto power save function:  
This is a function used to save power when  
using the unit with the rechargeable bat-  
tery or the alkaline batteries. Whilst in the  
auto power save mode, 5 - 10 seconds of  
sound information is stored in memory.  
When the auto power save function is dis-  
abled, 10 seconds of sound information is  
always stored in memory. (When the AC  
adaptor or a car adaptor is used, the infor-  
mation storage time is always 10 seconds,  
regardless of the auto power save mode.)  
When the unit is used in places exposed to  
excessive vibration, cancel the auto power  
save function.  
■ To cancel the auto power  
save function  
Power consumption can be reduced by  
controlling the memory storage time. You  
can cancel the auto power save function.

WHAT IS A MINIDISC?  
A MiniDisc is a disc inside a protective car-  
tridge. You can handle it freely without wor-  
rying about dust, fingerprints, etc.  
However, if dust enters the opening of the  
cartridge, or there is excessive dirt on the  
cartridge, or the cartridge becomes warped,  
you may experience malfunctions.  
■ Where not to store discs  
Do not store discs in places with high tem-  
peratures or humidity. Specifically, do not  
leave discs in places exposed to direct sun-  
light or in cars with the doors and windows  
closed.  
Do not leave discs in places where sand  
can get into the cartridge easily (e.g.,  
beaches).  
Please note the following.  
■ Handling the MiniDisc  
Do not touch the disc directly!  
Do not open the shutter or touch the disc  
directly.  
■ Helpful tip when attaching a label  
When attaching a label to an MD cartridge,  
be sure to note the following. If the label is  
not attached properly, the MiniDisc may jam  
inside the unit and it may not be possible to  
remove it.  
If the shutter is opened forcibly, it may break.  
Disc  
Shutter  
Cartridge  
● If the label peels off or  
partially lifts away, re-  
place it with a new one.  
● Do not put a new label  
on top of an existing  
one.  
TROUBLESHOOTING  
● Attach the label only in the specified lo-  
cation. (If it is not within the specified  
area, it may cause the disc to jam in the  
unit.)  
● Never disassemble a MiniDisc.  
■ Regular cleaning  
If the surface of the cartridge becomes  
dusty or dirty, clean it with a dry cloth.  
TROUBLESHOOTING  
■ Moisture condensation  
In the following cases, condensation  
may form inside the unit.  
When the unit has condensation inside,  
the disc signals cannot be read, and the  
unit may not function properly.  
● If this happens, remove the disc.  
The condensation should evaporate in  
approximately 1 hour. The unit will then  
function properly.  
● 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.

MINIDISC SYSTEM LIMITATIONS  
MiniDiscs are recorded using a different system than is used for cassette tapes or DAT  
recordings. Therefore, the following conditions may be encountered, depending on how  
the disc has been recorded or edited. These are due to system limitations, and should be  
considered normal.  
When the number of tracks used reaches  
the limit, regardless of the remaining re-  
cording time, further recording will be  
impossible.  
(Maximum number of tracks: 255)  
If a MiniDisc has been recorded or ed-  
Even if the maximum recording  
time of a MiniDisc has not been  
reached, “DISC FULL” or “TOC  
FULL” may be displayed.  
ited repeatedly or if a MiniDisc has  
scratches on it, it may not be possible to  
record the maximum number of tracks on  
it.  
Even if the number of tracks and  
the recording time have not  
reached the limit, “DISC FULL”  
may be displayed.  
If there are scratches on a disc, the unit  
will automatically avoid recording in those  
areas. The recording time will be reduced.  
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 recording  
time may not show an increase.  
For MiniDiscs on which repeated record-  
ing and editing operations were per-  
formed, the COMBINE function may not  
work.  
Two tracks may not be combined  
in editing.  
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 re-  
cording may be less than the remaining time  
displayed.  
If there are scratches on discs, those sec-  
tionswillbeautomaticallyavoided(norecord-  
ing will be placed in those sections). There-  
fore, the recording time will be reduced.  
The total of the recorded time and  
time remaining on a disc may not  
add up to the maximum possible  
recording time.  
When recorded tracks are played  
back using the cue and review op-  
erations, some sounds may be  
skipped.  
For MiniDiscs on which repeated record-  
ing and editing were performed, some  
sounds may be skipped whilst cueing and  
reviewing.  
If there are scratches or dust on a  
MiniDisc, the track numbers following that  
track will be increased by one.  
A track number can be created in  
the middle of a track.
