PRECAUTIONS
General
Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well
ventilated area and ensure that there is at least 10 cm
(4") of free space along the sides, top and back of the
equipment.
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 tempera-
tures.
Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic
fields, excessive dust, humidity and electronic/electrical
equipment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.) which gen-
erates electrical noise.
Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it
from the AC socket, as pulling the lead can damage inter-
nal 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, discon-
nect 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 sug-
gested that you disconnect the AC power lead from the
AC socket for safety.
The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the
ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers,
tablecloths, 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 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.
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 vol-
ume 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
extremely 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 hap-
pens, 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.
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 enjoy-
ment from your discs and unit.
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
excessive 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 centre, along the
radius.
Cassette tape
For playback, use normal or low-noise tape for the best
sound. (Metal or CrO 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.

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 pro-
gramme signals. For example, the stations send their station
names, and information about what type of programme they
broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.
When tuned to an FM station which provides the RDS ser-
vice, the RDS will appear, and the station frequency (and
then the station name if sent) will be displayed.
"TP" (Traffic Programme) will appear on the display when
the received broadcast carries traffic announcements, and
"TA" (Traffic Announcement) will appear whilst a traffic
announcement is received.
"EON" will appear whilst the EON (Enhanced Other Net-
works information) data is broadcast.
"PTYI" (Dynamic PTY Indicator) will appear whilst the
Dynamic PTY station is received.
Note:
"TP" and "TA" appear at the same time during an announce-
ment. When only "TA" appears, an announcement is not
made. (See page 26.)
Information Provided by RDS

ASPM (Auto Station Program Memory)
It is recommended that you store stations in memory using
ASPM. (This memory can be used for PTY searches, sta-
tion select and EON switching.)
When the ASPM button is pressed whilst tuned to the FM
band, the RDS (Radio Data System) function will automati-
cally 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.)
1
Press the ON/STAND-BY button to turn the power
on.
2
Press the TUNER (BAND) button.
3
Press the TUNER (BAND) button to select the FM ST
or FM band.
4
Press and hold down the ASPM button for at least 3
seconds.
Notes:
Only RDS stations will be stored in memory in numerical
order.
If the same station is broadcasting on different frequen-
cies, the transmission with the strongest broadcast fre-
quency 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
scanning 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
appear for about 4 seconds.
If 40 stations have already been stored in memory and
the ASPM button is pressed, "END" will appear immedi-
ately 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.
If the RDS station broadcast signals are very weak, sta-
tion names may not be stored in memory.
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 the contents in the preset memory:
1 Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the stand-by
mode.
2 Press the ON/STAND-BY button whilst holding down the
TUNER (BAND) button and the X-BASS/DEMO button.
"TUNER CL" will appear.
After performing this operation, all of the preset memory
information will be erased.
(Main unit operation)
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.

appear alternately.
To store a station name again, if the wrong name was
stored in memory by mistake:
When you store station names in memory using the ASPM
function, the correct station names may not actually be
stored if there is lots of noise or if the RDS station signal is
too weak. In this case, store station names in memory using
the following procedure.
1 Press the STATION button.
2 Within 6 seconds, press the PRESET ( or ) button to
check whether the station names are correct.
3 If you find a station name that is wrong, press the STA-
TION button again within 6 seconds to recall the preset
station, which corresponds to the station name.
4 After the preset station has been received and the cor-
rect station name has been displayed, press the MEM-
ORY/SET button.
5 Within 30 seconds, press the MEMORY/SET button
whilst the preset channel number is flashing.
The new station name has been stored in memory cor-
rectly.
Notes:
When there are no station names stored in memory, you
cannot use this function. In this case, when the STATION
button is pressed, "NOTHING" will flash for 5 seconds,
and the unit will return to the original display.
This function can only be used when the FM band has
been selected.
The same station name can be stored in different preset
channels. Therefore, when you are choosing a station
name from the presets, the same station name may be
encountered more than once.
In a certain area or during certain time periods, the sta-
tion names selected using the station select function may
temporarily be different from the name of the station you
are actually receiving.

About the TP and TA indicators
TP indicator TA indicator Meaning
Not lit Not lit This programme does not carry traffic announcements nor
does it refer, via EON, to a programme that does.
Not lit Lit This programme carries EON information about another pro-
gramme which gives traffic information.
Lit Not lit This programme carries traffic announcements but none are
currently on air and may also carry EON information about
other traffic announcements.
Lit Lit A traffic announcement is currently on air on this programme.
In the following cases, the EON stand-by mode will be cancelled.
When the unit is set in the stand-by mode.
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.
To cancel the ON (other network) station tuned in by the EON system and to return to the original station, press the EON
button.
After the unit returns to the original station, the stand-by mode will still be active. (The "TI" or "PTY" will remain lit.)
The unit will not switch from the ON station to another network station. The unit returns to the original station.
When the unit switches automatically to "other network" station, "WEAK SIG" will appear and the unit will return to the
original station if there is any problem with this station or the station cannot be received properly.
Even if the unit switches from the station you are listening to directly to some "other network" station, the unit will search
for the station with the strongest signal and switch to it if the signals from the other network stations are very weak. How-
ever, if the signals from all the other network stations are very weak, or if the tuning conditions are very bad (due to elec-
trical noise), the unit will stop searching, "WEAK SIG" will be displayed, and the unit will return to the original station you
were receiving.
