 Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than
60˚C (140˚F) or to extremely low temperatures.
 If your system does not work properly, disconnect the AC power
lead from the wall socket. Plug the AC power lead back in, and
then turn on your system.
 In case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for safety.
 Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it from the
wall socket, as pulling the lead can damage internal wires.
 The AC power plug/AC power input socket is used as a
disconnect device and shall always remain readily operable.
 Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result in electric shock.
Refer internal service to your local SHARP service facility.
 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 used in moderate
climates.
 This unit should only be used within the range of 5˚C - 35˚C
(41˚F - 95˚F).
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 speaker
efficiency, location and various other factors. It is advisable to avoid
exposure to high volume levels. Do not turn the volume on full at
switch on and listen to music at moderate levels. Excessive sound
pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss.
 Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely
humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet
(tape heads, etc.) or on the transmitter on the remote control.
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction. If this happens,
leave the power on with no cassette in the unit until normal playback
is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensation on the
transmitter with a soft cloth before operating the unit.

Cassette deck
If problem occurs
When this product is subjected to strong external interference
(mechanical shock, excessive static electricity, abnormal supply
voltage due to lightning, etc.) or if it is operated incorrectly, it may
malfunction.
If such a problem occurs, do the following:
1 Set the unit to the stand-by mode and turn the power on again.
2 If the unit is not restored in the previous operation, unplug and
plug in the unit, and then turn the power on.
Maintenance
Internal care
Dirty heads, capstans or pinch rollers can cause poor sound and
tape jams. Clean these parts with a cotton swab moistened with
commercial head/pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
After long use, the deck’s heads and capstans may become
magnetised, causing poor sound. Demagnetise these parts once
every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial
tape head demagnetiser. Read the demagnetiser’s instructions
carefully before use.
External care
Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap
solution, then wipe with dry cloth.
Do not use chemically treated cleaning cloths or other chemicals.
Symptom Possible cause
Cannot record. Is the erase-prevention tab
removed?
Cannot record tracks with
proper sound quality.
Is it a normal tape? (You cannot
record on a metal or CrO2tape.)
Cannot erase completely.
Sound skipping. Is there slack in the tape?
Cannot hear treble. Is the tape stretched?
Sound fluctuation. Are the capstans, pinch rollers,
or heads dirty?
Cannot remove the tape. If a power failure occurs during
playback, the heads remain
engaged with the tape. Do not
open the compartment with great
force.
