SPECIAL 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 ASA and of the same
rating as above, which is also indicated 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 instructions 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
ELECTRICIAN.

• Do not stand the unit vertically. Install the unit in a
horizontal and stable position. Do not place anything
directly on top of the unit. Do not place the unit directly
on top of the TV.
• Depending on the TV, noise or disturbance of the
picture and/or sound may be generated if the unit is
placed too close to your TV. In this case, please ensure
enough space between your TV and the unit.
• Do not cover or place the unit in enclosed spaces to

protected material on a monitor connected via a VCR,
whether for the purpose of viewing or not, will cause an
inferior quality picture to be displayed. This is not a fault
of the equipment. Please view copy protected material

Precautions (cont’d)
Before you start
Maintenance
RECOMMENDED MEASURES FOR OPTIMUM PICTURE
EXCELLENCE
This unit is a precision device constructed using
extremely accurate technology.
• The disc cannot be played if the disc drive component is
worn out or if the internal pick up lens is dirty.
• If this unit still does not perform properly although you
refer to the relevant sections and to “Troubleshooting”
on page 91, 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
(temperature, 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
playback, the video heads in your unit 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 consult your dealer or an authorized service
centre.
Notice for Progressive Scan Outputs
Consumers should note that not all high definition
television sets are fully compatible with this product
and may cause artifacts to be displayed in the picture.
In case of picture problems with 525 or 625 progressive
scan output, it is recommended that the user switch the
connection to the ‘standard definition’ output. If there are
questions regarding your TV set compatibility with this
525p or 625p DVD player, please contact our customer
service centre.
If There Is Noise Interference on the TV While a
Broadcast Is Being Received
Depending on the reception condition of the TV,
interference may appear on the TV monitor while you
watch a TV broadcast and the unit is left on. This is
not a malfunction of the unit or the TV. To watch a TV
broadcast, turn off the unit.

4. Following any service or repair, be sure the service
technician performs safety checks to certify that this
unit is in safe operating order.
CLEANING THE CABINET

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

Note
• The unit 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 unit if you use the Audio cables (commercially
available) to a monaural 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 Component 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 (P)” in the “Video” of the
“Playback” menu so that “P.SCAN” will appear on the display of this unit. See pages 83-84 for more details.
• If your TV is not compatible with progressive scanning, use this unit in interlace mode. Make sure that no “P.SCAN”
is on the display of this unit. If so, set “Video Out” to “Component Interlace (I)” in the “Video” of the “Playback”
menu so that “P.SCAN” on the display of this unit will disappear.
• (Analogue) AUDIO OUT jacks and Scart terminal are not available on the DTS audio.

recordings. A Playlist does not take up much disc space.
What “Original” or “Playlist” is for?
Throughout this Operation Manual, you will find Original and Playlist to refer
to the original content and the edited version.
• Original content refers to what’s originally recorded on the disc.
• Playlist content refers to the edited version of the original content.
Finalising a Disc

other players.
• Once you finalise a disc recorded in Video mode, you cannot record or edit
any information on the disc.
• Discs recorded in VR mode can still be edited after finalisation.
