PRECAUTIONS
Important
Volume setting
Reduce the volume before starting to play.
MiniDiscs, compared to ordinary cassette
tapes, have very little noise. If the volume
is adjusted according to your usual expectations of noise, you may damage your
hearing due to the high volume.
Precautions
To avoid accidental electric shock or
other possible problems, observe the
precautions listed below.
Do not disassemble or modify the unit.
Do not drop or subject the unit to shock.
Do not use the unit near open flames.
Do not spill liquid on the unit.
Do not use an external power supply,
other than the 5V DC supplied with this
unit, as it may damage it.
SHARP is not responsible for damage
due to improper use. Refer all servicing
to a SHARP authorised service centre.

POWER SOURCE
This unit can be used with the following power sources: a rechargeable battery, an AC
adaptor, commercially available alkaline batteries, and a separately available car adaptor
(AD-CA20X).
Notes:
After charging has been completed, the
AC adaptor may be left connected.
(For example, when charging at night)
The battery will not be charged whenever the power to the main unit is turned
on.
Do not force open the battery cover too
wide.

99.3.11, 2:29 PM
This unit can be used with alkaline batteries in place of a rechargeable battery.
Use two commercially available alkaline
batteries (LR6, AA size).
Caution:
Do not use nickel-cadmium battery,
etc.instead of alkaline batteries.
AC power
Caution:
If the unit is not used for a long period of
time, remove the battery. (Even if the
power is turned off, the battery will drain
slowly but continuously.)
Do not use any car adaptor except for
the separately available AD-CA20X.
For information about the battery life, see
the battery item in the SPECIFICATIONS on page 41.
This unit should only be used within the
range of 0C - 40C (32F - 104F).
99.3.11, 2:29 PM
BEFORE RECORDING
Type of recording
Two types of recording are possible: Digital recording and Analogue recording.
There are different cables and connections
for each type of recording, depending on
the sockets on the equipment being connected to the unit.

Recordable MiniDisc:
Notes:
When making important recordings, it is
recommended that you use the AC
adaptor. A fully charged rechargeable
battery or alkaline batteries should be
loaded into the unit. Then, even if a
power failure occurs, the power source
will switch over to the battery automatically.
When using the rechargeable battery or
the alkaline batteries, if the volume level
is set to 0, the battery consumption will
be less than when listening to the recording whilst it is being made.
Insert each plug firmly. If the connections
are poor, the recording may not be made
properly. Always keep the plugs clean.
If the plugs are dirty, electrical noise may
be recorded.
Types of discs
There are two types of discs: playback-only
and recordable discs.
Playback-only MiniDisc:
This type of MiniDisc usually contains
commercially available pre-recorded
music. This is the same kind of optical
disc as CDs. Playback is performed using an optical pickup.
(Recording and editing are not possible.)

If a silence lasts for 3 seconds or more,
the recording will be paused.
Pressing the 06 button on this unit
(when in this mode) will cause the unit
to enter the recording stand-by mode
and cancel the synchro recording mode.

Notes:
This unit incorporates a sampling rate

When this unit is connected to digital
equipment such as Digital radios or DAT
tape recorders that use a different sampling frequency (32 kHz or 48 kHz), recordings can still be made. (The sampling frequency of this unit is 44.1 kHz.)
When making a digital recording from a
portable CD player (if the player has a
sound skip prevention function and this
function is turned on) the optical output
will drop out and digital recording will not
be possible. Be sure to turn the sound
skip prevention function off.

When a plug-in-power type microphone is plugged in, the main unit will
provide power for the microphones
operation.
If a different type of microphone is
plugged in, it may not operate properly or it may cause the unit to malfunction.
Insert the plug firmly. If you dont, the
recording will not be made properly.
Use a microphone with a 3.5 mm (1/8")

you want to make a new recording, use
the move function to move the track and
then make your recording after that

Notes:
If input is from a stereo source, the
sounds from the left and right channels
will be combined.
Although the monitor sound you hear in
the earphones whilst recording is in stereo, recording will be monaural.
MiniDiscs recorded in the monaural
long-play mode may not play on other
MD players.
When a recording is made in the monaural long-play mode, you will be able
to play back the MiniDisc twice as fast
as the normal playback speed. (Page

Notes:
When a track that has a name is divided,
the two new tracks will have the same

WHAT IS A MINIDISC?
A MiniDisc is a disc inside a protective cartridge. You can handle it freely without worrying about dust, fingerprints, etc.
However, if dust enters the opening of the
cartridge, or there is excessive dirt on the
cartridge, or the cartridge becomes warped,
you may experience malfunctions.
Please note the following.
Do not store discs in places with high temperatures or humidity. Specifically, do not
leave discs in places exposed to direct sunlight or in cars with the doors and windows
closed.
Do not leave discs in places where sand
can get into the cartridge easily (e.g.,
beaches).
