Attached FM aerial: Position the FM aerial wire in the direction where the strongest signal can be received. Supplied AM loop aerial: Connect the AM loop aerial to the AM loop aerial socket. Position the AM loop aerial for optimum reception. Place the AM loop aerial on a shelf, etc., or attach it to a stand or a wall with screws (not supplied).
Note: Placing the aerial on the unit or near the AC power lead may cause noise pickup. Place the aerial away from the unit for better reception. Installing the AM loop aerial: < Assembling > < Attaching to the wall >

Screws (not supplied)

System connections (continued)

Speaker connection

Connect the black wire to the minus () terminal, and the red wire to the plus (+) terminal.

Battery installation

1 Open the battery cover. 2 Insert the supplied batteries according to the direction indicated in the battery compartment. When inserting or removing the batteries, push them towards the battery terminals. 3 Close the cover.
Caution: Use speakers with an impedance of 4 ohms or more, as lower impedance speakers can damage the unit. Do not mistake the right and the left channels. The right speaker is the one on the right side when you face the unit. Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other. 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. You Incorrect may be injured.
Precautions for battery use: Replace all old batteries with new ones at the same time. Do not mix old and new batteries. Remove the batteries if the unit is not to be used for long period of time. This will prevent potential damage due to battery leakage. Caution: Do not use rechargeable batteries (nickel-cadmium battery, etc.). Installing the batteries incorrectly may cause the unit to malfunction. Batteries (battery pack or batteries installed) shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like. Battery removal: Open the battery cover and pull up the battery to take out. Notes concerning use: Replace the batteries if the operating distance is reduced or if the operation becomes erratic. Purchase 2 AAA size batteries (UM-4, R03, HP-16 or similar). Periodically clean the transmitter on the remote control and the sensor on the unit with a soft cloth. Exposing the sensor on the unit to strong light may interfere with operation. Change the lighting or the direction of the unit if this occurs. Keep the remote control away from moisture, heat, shock, and vibrations.

Equaliser To turn the power on
Press the ON/STAND-BY button to turn the power on. After use: Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the power stand-by mode. At STAND-BY mode, red indicator will light up.

Setting the clock
Listening to a CD or MP3/WMA disc
This system can play back a standard CD, CD-R/RW in the CD format and CD-R/RW with MP3 or WMA files, but cannot record on them. Some audio CD-R and CD-RW discs may not be playable due to the state of the disc or the device that was used for recording. MP3: MP3 is a form of compression. It is an acronym which stands for MPEG Audio Layer 3. MP3 is a type of audio code which is processed by significant compression from the original audio source with very little loss in sound quality. This system supports MPEG 1 Layer 3, and VBR files. During VBR file playback, time counter in the display may differ from its actual playback time Bitrate which is supported by MP3 is 32 ~ 320 kbps. WMA: WMA files are Advanced System Format files that include audio files which are compressed with Windows Media Audio codec. WMA is developed by Microsoft as an audio format file for Windows Media Player. Bitrate which is supported by WMA is 64 ~ 160 kbps.

The recommended impedance is 32 ohms. Plugging in the headphones disconnects the speakers automatically. Adjust the volume using the VOLUME control.

Troubleshooting chart

Many potential problems can be resolved by the owner without calling a service technician. If something is wrong with this product, check the following before calling your authorised SHARP dealer or service centre.

Condensation

Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD pickup, 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 disc 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.
Symptom The clock is not set to the correct time. When a button is pressed, the unit does not respond. Possible cause Did a power failure occur? Reset the clock. (Refer page 7) Set the unit to the power standby mode and then turn it back on. If the unit still malfunctions, reset it. (Refer page 15) No sound is heard. Is the volume level set to MIN? Are the headphones connected? Are the speaker wires disconnected?

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. Note: If neither operation above restores the unit, clear all the memory by resetting it.

CD player

Symptom Playback does not start. Playback stops in the middle or is not performed properly. Possible cause Is the disc placed upside down? Does the disc satisfy the standards? Is the disc distorted or scratched? Playback sounds are skipped, or stopped in the middle of a track. Is the unit located near excessive vibrations? Is the disc very dirty? Has condensation formed inside the unit? Caution: This operation will erase all data stored in memory including clock, timer setting, tuner preset and CD programme. 1 2
Factory reset, clearing all memory
Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the power stand-by mode. Press and hold TUNING/FOLDER and press ON/STAND-BY button on main unit. RESET appear.

Before transporting the unit Remote control
Symptom The remote control does not operate. Possible cause Is the AC power lead of the unit plugged in? Are the batteries polarity correct? Are the batteries dead? Is the distance or angle incorrect? Does the remote control sensor receive strong light? Remove all CDs from the unit. Make sure there is no CD in the disc tray. Then, set the unit to the power stand-by mode. Carrying the unit with discs left inside can damage the unit.

Care of compact discs

Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking 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 from which signals are read. 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. NO YES Correct
Symptom The radio makes unusual noises continuously. Possible cause Is the unit placed near the TV or computer? Is the FM aerial or AM loop aerial placed properly? Move the aerial away from the AC power lead if it is located nearby.

Maintenance

Cleaning the cabinet
Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap solution, then with a dry cloth. Caution: Do not use chemicals for cleaning (petrol, paint thinner, etc.). It may damage the cabinet finish. Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause malfunctions.
