SPECIAL NOTES

NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.
The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable
(moulded) plug incorporating a 3A fuse. Should the fuse need
to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked
or and of the same rating as above, which is also indi-
cated on the pin face of the plug must be used.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never
use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not
being compatible with the plug supplied, cut-off the mains
plug and fit an appropriate type.
DANGER:
The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the
cut-off plug destroyed immediately and disposed of in a safe
manner.
Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted
elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet as a serious electric shock
may occur.
To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the in-
structions below:
IMPORTANT:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code:
Blue : Neutral
Brown : Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product
may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying
the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
● The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the
plug terminal which is marked N or coloured black.
● The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to
the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red.
Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected
to the earth terminal in your three pin plug.
Before replacing the plug cover, make sure that:
● If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same
as that removed from the cut-off plug.
● The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains
lead and not simply over the lead wires.
IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELEC-
TRICIAN.

■ General
● Please make sure that the unit is positioned in a well venti-
lated area and that there is at least 10 cm (4") of free space
along the sides and back. There must also be a minimum of
20 cm (8") of free space on the top of the unit.
● 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 gener-
ates electrical noise.
● Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it from
the AC socket, as 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.
● If the unit does not work properly whilst in use, 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.
● 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.
● Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of
battery disposal
● The apparatus is designed for use in moderate climate.
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 respon-
sible for any damage resulting from use of this unit with a volt-
age other than that which is specified.
■ Volume control
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 setting
up high, or whilst continually listening at high volumes.
■ 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 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.
PRECAUTIONS
■ Care of compact discs
Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mis-
tracking 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 exces-
sive moisture.
● Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or wa-
ter 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.
■ 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.
● 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 corresponding side from being erased.
Cover the tab holes with adhesive tape to erase or record
again.
● TAPE 1: Playback only.
TAPE 2: Playback or record.

PREPARATION FOR USE
● Unplug the AC power lead from the AC socket before
connecting or disconnecting any component.
■ Speaker connection
Connect the speaker wires to the SPEAKER terminals as
shown.
Front speakers
● Connect the black wire to the minus (–) terminal, and the
red wire to the plus (+) terminal.
Centre speaker and surround speakers
● Connect the wire with the white line to the minus (–) termi-
nal and the plain wire to the plus (+) terminal.
Caution:
● Do not mix the right channel and left channel wiring when
connecting the speakers to the unit.
● Do not let bare speaker wires touch each other as this may
damage the amplifier and/or speakers.
● Do not allow any objects to fall into or to be placed in the
bass reflex ducts.
● Do not stand or sit on the speakers. If the speakers fall or
collapse, you may be injured.
● When you use speakers other than the speakers included
with this unit, if their impedance is lower than that specified
for each speaker type, the unit may be damaged.
Front speakers: 6 ohms
Centre speaker: 6 ohms
Surround speakers:12 ohms
Placing the speakers
To enjoy the surround effect, add the extra speakers in addition
to the front speakers. Position them as shown in the illustration.
TV monitor location:
Place the centre speaker near the T.V.
The close proximity of this speaker will not adversely affect the
monitor as the speaker is shielded.
● Depending on the particular location of a TV monitor, colour
variations may appear on the TV monitor screen. If this oc-
curs, move the system’s speakers away from the TV moni-
tor and turn it off. After 15 - 30 minutes, turn on the TV moni-
tor again.
The TV monitor’s own demagnetising function should elimi-
nate the variations.
If the colour variations still appear, move the system further
away from the TV monitor.
● If any kind of magnet or an electromagnet is placed too close
to the TV monitor and the system, irregular colours may
appear on the TV monitor screen.
● Surround speakers
The surround speakers should be installed on the wall. lnstall
them 60 - 90 cm (23" - 35") above the height of your ears when
seated, if possible.
When the surround speakers are installed vertically, the speaker
badge will be upside down.
In this case, you can adjust the badge to face the proper direc-
tion.
Just turn it by hand.

RDS (Radio Data System) OPERATION
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 infor-
mation about what type of programme 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 sta-
tion name if sent) is displayed.
The TP (Traffic Programme) will appear on the display when
the received broadcast carries traffic announcements, and the
TA (Traffic Announcement) will appear whilst a traffic announce-
ment is being received.
EON will appear whilst the EON (Enhanced Other Networks
information) data is being broadcast.
The PTYI (Dynamic PTY Indicator) will appear whilst the
Dynamic PTY station is being received.
Note:
When the TP and TA appear at the same time, an an-
nouncement is being made.
When only the TA appears, an announcement is not being made.
(See page 26.)

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 in numerical
order.
● 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.
● The ASPM operation can be repeated until “END” appears.
● If a 40th station is stored in memory during a scan, the scan-
ning will stop at that station. The number of stations and
“END” will each be displayed for 4 seconds.
● If no stations have been stored in memory, “END” will ap-
pear for about 4 seconds.
● If 40 stations have already been stored in memory and the
ASPM button is pressed, “END” will appear immediately and
the scan will be aborted.
If you want to redo the ASPM operation from the beginning,

● When the unit is switched to another band in the EON stand-
by mode
● When you change the FM station whilst in the EON stand-
by mode
● When a preset call is made
Notes:
● During the same programme as the specified PTY (or TA) is
being broadcast on the station you are receiving, the unit
will not switch to other network station.
● If there are more than two other network stations you want
to listen to, compare the strength of each station’s signal
and tune in the station with the strongest signal. (EON-AF)
However, if the frequency of other network station has been
stored in the preset channel memory, the unit will switch to
that preset channel.

tion, if there is any problem with this station or the station
cannot be received properly “WEAK SIG” will appear and
the unit will return to the original station.
● Even if the unit switches from the station you are listening to
directly to some “other network” station, if the signals from
the other network stations are very weak, the unit will search
for the station with the strongest signal and switch to it.
However, if the signals from all the other network stations
are very weak, or if the tuning conditions are very bad (due
to electrical noise), the unit will stop searching, “WEAK SIG”
will be displayed, and the unit will return to the original sta-
tion you were receiving.
