Maintenance
SERVICING
1. Please refer to relevant topics in the “TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE”
on page 34 before returning the product.
2. Do not attempt to service this VCR/DVD yourself. Instead, unplug it
and contact a SHARP Approved Service Centre for inspection.
3. Be sure the service technician uses authorised replacement parts
or their equivalents. Unauthorised parts may cause fire, electrical
shock, or other hazards.
4.
Following any service or repair, be sure the service technician performs
safety checks to certify that this VCR/DVD is in safe operating order.
CLEANING THE CABINET
• Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do
not use a solution containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasive.
CLEANING DISCS
• When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth. Wipe the
disc from the centre out. Do not wipe in a circular motion.
• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially avail-
able cleaners, detergent, abrasive cleaning agents or antistatic spray
intended for analogue records.
RECOMMENDED MEASURES FOR OPTIMUM PICTURE
EXCELLENCE
This VCR/DVD is a precision device constructed using extremely accu-
rate technology.
• The disc cannot be played if the disc drive component is worn out
or if the internal pick up lens is dirty.
• I
f this VCR/DVD still does not perform properly although you refer to
the relevant sections and to “TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE” on page 34,
the laser optical pickup unit may be dirty. Consult a SHARP Approved
Service Centre for inspection and cleaning of the laser optical pickup
unit.
Soiling or friction affecting the pickup lens or disc drive can impair
the image quality. At the worst, neither video nor audio will be played
back. To maintain optimum picture quality, the Player should be
serviced (cleaned and replacement of some parts) every 1,000 hours.
Note that this period varies depending on the environment (tem-
perature, humidity, dust, etc.) in which the unit is used. Contact your
authorised SHARP supplier for details.
DISC HANDLING
• When you handle a disc, hold it by its edge and try not to touch the
surface of the disc.
• Always store a disc in its protective case when it is not used.
AUTO HEAD CLEANING
• Automatically cleans video heads as you insert or remove a cassette,
so you can see a clear picture.
• Playback picture may become blurred or interrupted while the TV
programme reception is clear. Dirt accumulated on the video heads
after a long period of use, or the usage of rental or worn tapes can
cause this problem. If a streaky or snowy picture appears during play-
back, the video heads in your VCR/DVD may need to be cleaned.
1. Please visit your local Audio/Video store and purchase a good
quality VHS Video Head Cleaner.
2.
If a Video Head Cleaner does not solve the problem, please contact to a
SHARP Approved Service Centre.
Hint
• Remember to read the instructions along with the video head
cleaner before use.
• Clean video heads only when problems occur.

Hint
• The VCR/DVD is sending each video signals simultaneously. If you connected an S-VIDEO OUT and/or a COMPONENT VIDEO OUT with the
VIDEO OUT (SCART), make sure your TV’s input mode is set correctly according to the connection you made.
• You will not be able to hear all of the sound being output by the VCR/DVD if you use the Audio cables (commercially available) to a monau-
ral TV that has only one audio input jack.
• Be sure that the colours of the jacks and plugs match up when connecting the cable.
• If you want to listen to the audio through audio equipment, connect only the S-video or component video cable to the TV.
• The S-VIDEO OUT and COMPONENT VIDEO OUT jacks are only useful in DVD mode.
• If your TV is compatible with 525 or 625 progressive scanning and you want to enjoy that high quality picture, you must connect the com-
ponent video cable to your TV’s component video input jacks (Y/PR/PB) and select progressive scanning mode. To set the mode, set “VIDEO
OUT” to “COMPONENT PROGRESSIVE (Component (P))” in the DISPLAY menu so that “P.SCAN” will appear on the display of this VCR/DVD. (The
progressive scanning is not available in the VCR mode.) See pages 29, 30 for more details.
• If your TV is not compatible with progressive scanning, use this VCR/DVD in interlace mode. Make sure that no “P.SCAN” is on the display of
this VCR/DVD. If so, set “VIDEO OUT” to “COMPONENT INTERLACE (Component (I))” in the DISPLAY menu so that “P.SCAN” on the display of this
VCR/DVD will disappear.

• Audio CD
Audio CDs can be transferred digitally to other equipment such as
an MD deck or DAT deck, play the disc as you would normally with
the connection shown above. Audio CDs recorded in the DTS for-
mat cannot be transferred digitally or via analogue.
• Some Audio CDs have a short silent section between musical tracks.
When sound from discs such as these is digitally recorded by con-
necting the VCR/DVD directly to a digital recorder (such as an MD
deck or DAT deck), the music may be recorded continuously and
track numbers may be lost.
• DVD
DVDs recorded in Dolby Digital 5.1 channel surround sound, DTS or
MPEG Audio cannot be connected digitally to external recording
equipment such as an MD deck or DAT deck.
It may be possible to record “Dolby Digital” or “MPEG” Audio via a
digital connection if the VCR/DVD output is set to “DPCM” (see page
31 “AUDIO Setting”). Analogue recording is possible but not for
DTS recorded audio.
Hint
• The DVD AUDIO OUT and DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jacks are only use-
ful in DVD mode.
• The audio source on a disc in a Dolby Digital 5.1 channel sur-
round format cannot be recorded as digital sound by an MD or
DAT deck.
• Playing back a DVD using incorrect settings may generate noise
distortion and may also damage the speakers.
• By hooking this VCR/DVD up to a Multi-channel Dolby Digital
decoder, you can enjoy high-quality Dolby Digital 5.1 channel sur-
round sound as heard in the movie theatres.
• By hooking this VCR/DVD up to the DTS decoder, you can enjoy
5.1 channel surround system which reproduces the original
sound as truthfully as possible. 5.1 channel surround system is
developed by the Digital Theater System Inc.

Video Casette Tape
The VCR/DVD will operate with any casette
that bears the VHS mark. For best results, we
recommend the use of high-quality tapes. Do
not use poor quality or damaged tapes.
• You can prevent accidental erasing of a
recording by breaking off the erase-protection tab on the back edge
of the casette.
• If you decide to record on the tape again, cover the hole with plastic
tape.
TV Colour System
Different countries use different television colour systems. Tapes
recorded in the PAL, MESECAM or NTSC system can be played back
on this VCR/DVD. Usually, the picture on the TV screen will be in black
and white when you play back a tape that is recorded in a different
colour system.
Tapes recorded in the NTSC system can be played back on this
VCR/DVD and a PAL system TV set. This feature is only available in the
SP mode. When playing back such tapes, the picture may roll up or
down, shrink vertically and black bars may appear both at the top and
bottom of the screen. Adjust the vertical hold control on your TV, if
the TV features this control.
Hint
• When playing an NTSC tape playback picture may become
blurred or picture noise may appear during speed search, slow
motion or still mode. This is not a malfunction.
Automatic Operation
Automatic Rewind, Eject, Off
When the end of a tape is reached during recording, playback or fast
forward, the tape will automatically rewind to the beginning. After
that, the VCR/DVD will eject the tape.
• The tape will not auto-rewind during Timer Recording or One Touch
Recording.

A tape can be ejected with the VCR/DVD power on or off (but the
VCR/DVD must be plugged in).
• If a Timer Recording is set, press STOP C/EJECT Atwice to eject a
tape.

• This shows the elapsed recording or playback time in hours, minutes
and seconds on screen.
(Nothing is shown in the case of blank portion.)
