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 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.  
Please make sure that the unit is positioned in a well ven-  
tilated area and that there is at least 4" (10 cm) of free  
space along the sides and back. There must also be a  
minimum of 8" (20 cm) of free space on the top of the  
unit.  
Do not use oil, solvents, gasoline, paint thinners or insec-  
ticides on the unit.  
Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher  
than 140˚F (60˚C) or to extreme low temperatures.  
Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and ex-  
cessive moisture.  
Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic  
fields, excessive 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 center, along the radius.  
Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it  
from the AC outlet, as pulling the cord can damage internal  
wires.  
When cleaning the heads, pinch rollers, etc, remove the  
AC power plug from the AC outlet 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.  
NO  
Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration,  
and do not place anything on the top of the unit.  
YES  
If the unit does not work properly while in use, disconnect  
the AC power cord from the AC outlet. Plug the AC power  
cord back in, and then press the ON/STAND-BY button  
to turn the power on.  
Correct  
If an electrical storm is taking place near you, it is sug-  
gested that you disconnect the AC power cord from the  
AC outlet for safety.  
Cassette tape  
For playback, use normal or low-noise tape for the best  
sound. (Metal or CrO2 tape is not recommended.)  
For recording, use only normal tape.  
Warning:  
Do not use C-120 tapes, tapes with large diameter reels,  
or poor-quality tapes, as they may cause malfunctions.  
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.  
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 corresponding side from being erased.  
Cover the tab holes with adhesive tape to erase or record  
again.  
Volume control  
TAPE 1: Playback only.  
TAPE 2: Playback or record.  
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 while turning the unit on with the volume control setting  
up high, or while continually listening at high volumes.  
Side A (1)  
Condensation  
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an ex-  
tremely humid environment may cause condensation inside  
the cabinet (CD pickup, tape heads, etc.) or on the trans-  
mitter LED on the remote control.  
Tab for side B (2)  
Tab for side A (1)  
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.

Headphones  
Before plugging in or unplugging the headphones, make sure  
the volume level is reduced.  
Be sure your headphones have a 1/8" (3.5 mm) diameter plug  
and are between 16 ohms and 50 ohms impedance.  
The recommended impedance is 32 ohms.  
When headphones are connected, the speakers are discon-  
nected automatically. Adjust the VOLUME control for the  
desired volume.  
Note:  
You cannot use the Dolby Pro Logic Surround feature with  
headphones.

MAINTENANCE  
Internal care  
Dirty heads, capstans or pinch rollers can cause poor sound  
and tape jams. Clean these parts with a cotton swab mois-  
tened with commercial head/pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl  
alcohol.  
TAPE 1  
After long use, the deck’s heads and capstans may become  
magnetized, causing poor sound. Demagnetize these parts  
once every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a com-  
mercial tape head demagnetizer. Read the demagnetizer’s in-  
structions carefully before use.  
TAPE 2  
In order to ensure proper operation of the CD player, preven-  
tative maintenance (cleaning of the Laser Pick-up lens) should  
be performed periodically in order to keep the lens dust-free.  
Lens cleaners are commercially available. Contact your local  
CD software dealer for options.  
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 chemi-  
cals.
