IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND PRECAUTIONS

Caution

READ THE SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS before operating this Unit and retain the instructions for later use.

FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS AND HEED ALL WARNINGS on this Unit and in this manual.

Installation

1. Operate only from a power source indicated on this Unit or in this manual. If you are unsure of your power supply, ask your local power company.

2. As a safety feature, this Unit is equipped with either a 2-wire polarized plug (one plug blade bigger than the other) or a 3-wire grounded plug (a third pin for grounding). The

2-wire polarized plug will fit only one way into the power outlet. The 3-wire grounded plug will fit only into a grounding-type power outlet.

2

If the plug does not fit, ask your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not modify the plug. To do so will void the safety feature.

3. Protect and route power cords so they will not be stepped on or pinched by anything placed on or against them. Be especially careful at plug-ins, convenience receptacles, or cord exit points from the Unit. Frayed power cords or damaged plugs are hazardous. Have them replaced by a qualified service technician.

Overloaded wall outlets and extension cords may cause fire or electrical shock hazards.

4. Do not cover or block ventilation holes in the Unit cabinet. Doing so may damage the

Unit, video cassette or disc.

Do not place this Unit on a soft surface which could block ventilation holes on the bottom. Avoid enclosed installations such as bookshelves or racks unless ventilation is adequate.

5. Avoid excessive humidity, sudden temperature changes, or temperature extremes.

Dew may form inside this Unit, video cassette or disc.

6. To avoid costly damage or injury, place this Unit flat on a solid, stable surface free from vibrations; do not place any heavy objects on top of it. Use only a cart, stand, or table recommended by the manufacturer; follow all instructions regarding their use exactly.

7. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

2. An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come into contact with power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from coming into contact with power lines or circuits; contact with them might be fatal.

Service

1. Do not attempt to service this Unit yourself. Instead, unplug it and contact a qualified service technician. (See

CONSUMER LIMITED WARRANTY at the end of this manual.)

2. Be sure the service technician uses authorized replacement parts or their equivalents. Unauthorized parts may cause fire, electrical shock, or other hazards.

3. Following any service or repair, be sure the service technician performs safety checks to certify that this Unit is in safe operating order.

Copy Protection

This Unit supports Macrovision copy protection.

On DVD discs that include a copy protection code, if the contents of the DVD disc are copied using a VCR, the copy protection code prevents the videotape copy from playing normally.

Apparatus Claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 4,631,603,

4,577,216, 4,819,098 and 4,907,093 licensed for

limited viewing uses only.

This product incorporates copyright protection technology that is protected by method claims of certain U.S.

patents and other intellectual property rights owned by Macrovision Corporation and other rights owners.

Use of this copyright protection technology must be authorized by Macrovision Corporation, and is intended for home and other limited viewing uses only unless otherwise authorized by Macrovision Corporation.

Reverse engineering or disassembly is prohibited.


Recommended Measures for Optimum Picture Excellence

This Unit is a precision device constructed using extremely accurate technology.

• If the head or the tape drive components become dirty or worn out, the image on the tape will be distorted.

• The disc cannot be played if the disc drive component is worn out or if the internal pick up lens is dirty.

To obtain optimum picture quality, the Unit should be checked (cleaning and replacement of some parts) every

1,000 hours. Note that this period varies depending on the environment (temperature, humidity, dust, etc.) in which the Unit is used. Contact your authorized Sharp supplier for details.

Warning of Dew Formation

There are cases when dew formation can occur.

Using a Unit in which dew has formed may damage or coil the tape, or signals from the disc might not be read.

Remove the tape or disc and leaves the Unit with the power ON for about 2 hours so that it warms up and removes the dew. Operation should be back to normal then.

Dew may form on the drum, heads, pickup lens, tape, 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.

Use the Unit in a place where the room temperature is between 5

°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F). Dew can easily form inside the Unit in cold areas.

Others

1. It is the intent of Sharp that this product be used in full compliance with the copyright laws of the United

States and that prior permission be obtained from copyright owners whenever necessary.

2. Normally, the Unit does not require head cleaning. However, the heads may become clogged when an old or damaged tape is used. If the playback picture becomes blurred, the heads may need cleaning. Head cleaning should be performed by a qualified technician. Contact the nearest Sharp Factory Service Center or

Authorized Service Station. Do not use a cleaning tape unless it is new and of high quality. Excessive use of cleaning tapes may also damage the heads.

WARNING—Keep the Unit away from electrical and magnetic appliances which could impair performance.

Be sure to position the Unit away from your TV or video monitor by at least 8 ".

Types of Discs that Can Be Played on This Unit

2

• The specific playback functionality for some DVD discs is determined by the disc manufacturer. Because this Unit plays disc data in accordance with the disc manufacturer’s guidelines, some functions may not be available on some discs. Be sure to read the instructions provided with the disc.

The “Prohibited” indicator displayed on the TV screen during this Unit operation indicates that such manufacturer-imposed restrictions apply.

3

• The audio on a DVD disc recorded in MPEG Version 2.0 format cannot be played back (images only).

4

• Since this Unit is not equipped with a closed caption function, even if you play a disc with the closed caption function the subtitles will not be shown (DVD discs with subtitles can be displayed on screen).

Discs that Cannot be Played

1. You cannot play illegally produced discs.

2. You cannot play scratched discs.

3. You cannot play discs that are dusty, soiled or marked with fingerprints.

• 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.

(Refer to the Instructions on page 10 and clean discs before playing them.)

A soiled or scratched disc may disrupt the image (appearing as blocks on the screen). When this happens, the Unit automatically restores the correct image after 2 or 3 seconds.

Title, chapter and tracks

• DVDs are divided into “titles” and “chapters”. If the disc has more than one movie on it, each movie would be a separate “title”. “chapters”, on the other hand, are subdivisions of titles.

Example: DVD

Title 1 Title 2

Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 Chapter 1 Chapter 2

• Audio CDs are divided into “tracks”. You can think of a “track” as one tune on an audio CD.

Example: Audio CD

Track 1 Track 2 Track 3

Track 4

Track 5

• Numbers identify each title, chapter, and track on a disc. Most discs have these numbers recorded on them, but some do not.

Digital Connection to an MD to Record a CD

When you are using a digital connection to record the contents of a CD to an MD, the track numbers of the CD may not match the track numbers recorded to the MD.

Audio equipment with coaxial digital input jack

Important!

• When connecting the audio equipment to the digital connection, set the “ DIGITAL” in

“AUDIO SETUP” to “D-PCM” (See page 45).

• No VCR sound will come out from the DIGITAL AUDIO output jack.

■ Digital Connection to Audio Equipment or MD Player

without a Dolby Digital Decoder

• Audio CD

Play the disc as you normally would, with the audio mode set to “L+R” (See page 64). With a digital connection, audio of a disc recorded with DTS sounds abnormal in this case.

• DVD Video Disc

The digital connection illustrated above shows connection to audio equipment that is not equipped with a decoder.

Because of this, it cannot produce 5.1 channel sound when playing a DVD whose audio track is recorded in Dolby Digital

(5.1 channel), Dolby Surround (Pro Logic) or DTS. To play the audio on such a DVD, you must configure a digital connection with an audio processor or amplifier equipped with a decoder for the type of audio on the DVD you are attempting to play

(See page 45). If you do not have an audio processor or amplifier equipped with the proper decoder, use a 2-channel analog (Down Mix) connection (See left). Note that discs recorded with Linear PCM audio should play normally using the digital connection illustrated above.

Audio Connections

Playing Dolby Digital (5.1 channel) and DTS audio

• Connecting an amplifier with a Dolby Digital/DTS digital surround processor or a Dolby Digital/DTS digital surround decoder to the Unit’s coaxial digital jack provides richer, more powerful audio play.

• To use DTS digital surround, use the Disc Menu screen (page 45) or the Function control screen (page 89) to select DTS audio.

Automatic Daylight Saving-Time (D.S.T.) Adjustment

This Unit is equipped with an internal Automatic Daylight Saving-Time Adjustment function. In spring (first

Sunday in April) and autumn (last Sunday in October), the time is adjusted as shown below. This function has been preset to ON at the factory. Set the D.S.T. mode in the clock setting screen.

Spring

Programmed timer recording set within this time frame (2:00

AM to 3:00 AM) will not be carried out.

First Sunday in April (D.S.T. is ON)

1:00 AM 2:00 AM

The clock is automatically advanced 1 hour.

3:00 AM 4:00 AM

Autumn

Because there will be two time frames from 1:00 AM to 2:00

AM, timer programming set between these times will be influenced by the time change.

Last Sunday in October (D.S.T. is ON)

1:00 AM 2:00 AM

The clock is automatically set back 1 hour.

1:00 AM 2:00 AM

• If the timer recording program is affected by the D.S.T. time change, check your TV listing and find out when it reflects the time change. Some TV listings will indicate the time change in the same manner as is programmed in this Unit, but others do not show the time change until the next morning. In that case, when programming a timer, use the CLOCK screen to set the D.S.T. mode to OFF so the time change will not be carried out.

DIGITAL .................. Use this setting for specifying the type of digital output when playing a disc recorded using Dolby Digital.

Setting the COMPRESSION

(Dolby Digital output level)

When Dolby Digital is used to record the audio on a DVD disc, the average overall volume level of the audio is relatively lower than that produced by an audio CD. This is to provide the widest possible dynamic range. To counteract this, this Unit automatically raises the overall average volume level of a disc recorded using Dolby Digital to a level that is similar to that of an audio CD.

Playing MP3 Discs

This Unit is able to play CD-R or CD-RW discs recorded in MP3 format.

Regarding MP3 discs

• MP3 files are audio data compressed in MPEG1 Audio layer 3 file format. “MP3 files” have “.mp3” as extensions.

• Some files that have “.mp3” extensions or files that have not been recorded in MP3 format will produce noise or cannot be played.

• Some discs cannot be played depending on the actual CD-R/CD-RW disc condition, the recording equipment and the disc’s recording.

• Data on the CD-R or CD-RW disc, which has not been recorded in MP3 format, audio tracks or has been recorded in other file formats except MP3, cannot be played.

Playing MP3 discs

• Discs that have more than 1000 folders and files in total cannot be played.

• Some MP3 files are not played in the order they were recorded.

• The number of layers, which can be recognized, including files and folders, is maximum 8.

• Only the first session of a multi-session disc can be played.

• When both audio tracks and MP3 files are recorded on a disc, audio tracks will be played.

• Depending on the folder tree, reading MP3 files can take time.

(The more files there are, the longer the reading time. Therefore it is recommended to lower the number of folders before recording.)

• Folder or track (file) names are limited to 8 characters. The folder / file names are displayed in half-size, capital letters or half-size numbers. Folder or track (file) names that go over 8 characters will be abbreviated.

• Depending on the character or symbol, MP3 folders or files have their names replaced, for example:

SHARP_1

→ SHARPO1, SHARP

~

1

→ SHARPN1, SHARP-1 → SHARPM1.

• The playing time may not be correctly displayed during MP3 file playback.

• It is recommended to record data at a lower speed as data recorded at fast speed can produce noise and may not be able to be played.

CAUTION

• It is impossible to make a digital copy by using a digital audio recording device which outputs sound from discs in MP3 format through the coaxial digital output jack of this Unit.

Surround (Pro Logic) to 2-channel audio.

Glossary

DTS

This is a digital sound system developed by Digital Theater Systems for use in cinemas.

This system uses 6 audio channels and provides accurate sound field positioning and realistic acoustics. (By connecting a DTS Digital Surround decoder, you can also listen to DTS Digital Surround sound.)

DVD

This refers to a high-density optical disc on which high-quality pictures and sound have been recorded by means of digital signals. Incorporating a new video compression technology (MPEG II) and high-density recording technology, DVD enables esthetically pleasing full-motion video to be recorded over long periods of time (for instance, a whole movie can be recorded).

DVD has a structure consisting of two 0.6 mm thin discs which are adhered to each other. Since the thinner the disc, the higher the density at which the information can be recorded, a DVD disc has a greater capacity than a single 1.2 mm thick disc. Since the two thin discs are adhered to each other, there is the potential to achieve double-sided play sometime in the future for even longer duration play.

Precaucion

LEA LAS SIGUIENTES INSTRUCCIONES DE SEGURIDAD Y DE OPERACION antes de operar esta unidad y mantenga las instrucciones para uso luego. SIGA LAS INSTRUCCIONES Y TODAS LAS ADVERTENCIAS de esta unidad y de este manual.

Instalacion

1. Opere únicamente con una fuente de energía indicada en esta unidad o en este manual. Si Ud. no está seguro sobre el suministro de energía, pregunte a su compañía local de luz y electricidad.

2. Como una medida de seguridad, esta unidad viene equipada con un enchufe polarizado de 2 alambres (una patilla de clavija más grande que la otra) o con un enchufe puesto a tierra de 3 alambres (un tercer conector para puesta a tierra). El enchufe polarizado de 2 alambres sólo entrará de una forma dentro de la toma de energía. El enchufe a tierra de

3 alambres se conecta solamente en un tomacorriente con tomacorriente.

Si no entra el enchufe, pida al electricista que reemplace su salida obsoleta. No modifique el enchufe. Si lo hace, obstruiría la característica de seguridad.

3. Proteja y dirija los cordones de alimentación de tal forma que no los pisen ni sean oprimidos por algún mueble o artículo. Tenga especialmente cuidado en los enchufes, receptáculos convenientes o con los puntos de salida del cordón de la unidad. Los cordones de energía deshilachados o dañados son peligrosos. Haga que los reemplace un técnico de servicio calificado.

Los tomacorrientes murales demasiado cargados o los cordones de las extensiones muy cargados pueden ocasionar incendio o peligro de electrochoque.

4. No cubra ni bloquee los orificios de ventilación del gabinete de la unidad. Si lo hace puede ocasionar daño en la unidad, video cassette o disco, u ocasionar incendio.
