Frequently Asked Questions - SD-HX500 SHARP

How to clean the CD player lens?

Use a special cleaning disc for CD player lens. Never open the casing; the lens is fragile and sensitive to scratches.

What types of CDs can I play on the SD-HX500?

The player supports Audio CD, CD-R, and CD-RW. It can also play MP3 files burned on CD.

How to connect the player to an amplifier?

Use the stereo analog audio (RCA) or optical/coaxial digital outputs for better sound quality. Connect the cables to the corresponding inputs on your amplifier.

The remote control does not work, what should I do?

Check the batteries (AAA type) and replace them if necessary. Make sure no obstacles are blocking the player's infrared sensor. Point the remote directly at the device.

What does 'Progressive Scan' mean and how to activate it?
