Disc Precautions

Be Careful of Scratches and Dust

• BD, DVD and CD discs are sensitive to dust, fingerprints and especially scratches. A scratched disc may not be able to be played back. Handle discs with care and store them in a safe place.

Proper Disc Storage

Place the disc in the centre of the disc case and store the case and disc upright.
Avoid storing discs in locations subject to direct sunlight, close to heating appliances or in locations of high humidity.
Do not drop discs or subject them to strong vibrations or impacts.
Avoid storing discs in locations where there are large amounts of dust or moisture.

Handling Precautions

• If the surface is soiled, wipe gently with a soft, damp (water only) cloth. When wiping discs, always move the cloth from the centre hole toward the outer edge.

• Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzene, thinner, static electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent.
• Do not touch the surface.
• Do not stick paper or adhesive labels to the disc.
• If the playing surface of a disc is soiled or scratched, the Unit may decide that the disc is incompatible and eject the disc tray, or it may fail to play the disc correctly. Wipe any dirt off the playing surface with a soft cloth.

Cleaning the Pick Up Lens

• Never use commercially available cleaning discs. The use of these discs can damage the lens.
• Request the nearest service centre approved by SHARP to clean the lens.

Warnings about dew formation

• Condensation may form on pick up lens or disc in the following conditions:

• Immediately after a heater has been turned on.

• In a steamy or very humid room.
• When the Unit is suddenly moved from a cold environment to a warm one.

When condensation forms:

• It becomes difficult for the Unit to read the signals on the disc and prevents the Unit from operating properly.

To remove condensation:

• Take out the disc and leave the Unit with the power off until the condensation disappears. Using the Unit when there is condensation may cause malfunction.

• If 40 stations have already been stored in memory, the scan will be aborted. If you want to redo the ASPM operation, erase the preset memory.
• If no station have been stored in memory, "END" will appear for about 4 seconds.
• If the RDS signals are very weak, station names may not be stored in memory.
  The same station name can be stored in different channels.
• In a certain area or during certain time periods, the station names may temporarily be different.

Notes: for RDS operation

If any of the following events occur, it does not mean that the unit is faulty:

• "PS", "No PS" and a station name appear alternately, and the unit does not operate properly.
• If a particular station is not broadcasting properly or a station is conducting tests, the RDS reception function may not work properly.

• When you receive an RDS station whose signal is too weak, information like the station name may not be displayed.

After the selected programme type has been lit for 2 seconds, "SEARCH" will appear, and the search operation will start.

Notes:

• If the display has stopped flashing, start again from step 2. If the unit finds a desired programme type, the corresponding channel number will lit for about 8 seconds, and then the station name will remain it.
• If you want to listen to the same programme type of another station, press the RDS PTY button whilst the channel number or station name is flashing. The unit will look for the next station.
• If no station can be found, "NOT FOUND" will appear for 4 seconds.

If you select the traffic programme:

If you select the traffic programme (TP) in step 3, "TP" will appear.
