Never remove covers unless qualified to do so. This unit contains dangerous voltages, always remove mains plug from the socket before any service operation and when not in use for a long period. z To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this appliance to dripping or splashing. No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus. AC power lead 1

z Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 60˚C (140˚F) or to extremely low temperatures. z If your system does not work properly, disconnect the AC power lead from the wall socket. Plug the AC power lead back in, and then turn on your system. z In case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for safety. z Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it from the wall socket, as pulling the lead can damage internal wires. z The AC power plug/AC power input socket is used as a disconnect device and shall always remain readily operable. z Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result in electric shock. Refer internal service to your local SHARP service facility. z The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc. z No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus. z Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of battery disposal. The apparatus is designed for used in moderate climates. z This unit should only be used within the range of 5˚C - 35˚C (41˚F - 95˚F). Warning: The voltage used must be the same as that specified on this unit. Using this product with a higher voltage other than that which is specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of accident causing damage. SHARP will not be held responsible for any damage resulting from use of this unit with a voltage other than that which is specified. „ Volume control The sound level at a given volume setting depends on speaker efficiency, location and various other factors. It is advisable to avoid exposure to high volume levels. Do not turn the volume on full at switch on and listen to music at moderate levels. Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss. „ Condensation Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (tape heads, 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 cassette 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. z Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well-ventilated area and ensure that there is at least 10 cm (4") of free space along the sides, top and back of the equipment. z Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration. z Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic fields, excessive dust, humidity and electronic/electrical equipment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.) which generate electrical noise. 10 cm (4") 10 cm (4")

MK2 Preparation for Use System connections (continued) „ AC power connection „ AC plug adaptor In areas (or countries) where an AC socket as shown in illustration 2 is used, connect the unit using the AC plug adaptor supplied with the unit, as illustrated. The AC plug adaptor is not included in areas where the AC wall socket and AC power plug can be directly connected (see illustration 1 ). Notes: z If the unit will not be used for a long period of time, remove the AC power lead from the AC socket. z Connection of the AC power lead to the unit disconnects the batteries. z Never use a power lead other than the one supplied. Use of a power lead other than the one supplied may cause an electric shock or fire. z If a humming noise occurs, turn the power plug upside down where it is connected to the AC power input socket on the unit. 110-127/220-240 V 50/60 Hz AC 220V - 240V AC 110V - 127V AC 220V - 240V AC 110V - 127V 1 2 To AC INPUT To the wall socket VOLTAGE SELECTOR VOLTAGE SELECTOR Check the setting of the AC voltage selector located on the rear panel before plugging the unit into a wall socket. If necessary, adjust the selector to correspond to the AC power voltage used in your area. Selector adjustment: Slide the selector with a screwdriver to the appropriate voltage number (AC 110 - 127 V or AC 220 - 240 V).

„ Operation with batteries Precautions for battery use: z Insert the batteries according to the direction indicated on the rear panel. Installing the batteries incorrectly may cause the unit to malfunction. z Remove the batteries if they are weak or if the unit will not be used for long periods of time. This will prevent potential damage due to battery leakage. z Replace all old batteries with new ones at the same time. z Do not mix old and new batteries. Caution: z Do not use rechargeable batteries (nickel-cadmium battery, etc.). z Batteries (battery pack or batteries installed) shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like. Battery replacement: Replace the batteries when they become weak and/or recording or playback is impaired. This may occur even though radio broadcasts are audible. 1 Disconnect the AC power lead, and remove the battery compartment cover. z Connection of the AC or DC power lead to the unit disconnects the batteries. 2 Insert 10 “D”, size batteries (UM/SUM-1, R20, HP-2 or similar) into the battery compartment. z When inserting or removing the batteries 5 and !, push them towards the · battery terminals. z Batteries are not included. 3 Replace the battery compartment cover. 1 2 3 5 4 7 6 9 10 8

MK2 References Troubleshooting chart (continued) „ Cassette deck „ 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. Maintenance „ Internal care z Dirty heads, capstans or pinch rollers can cause poor sound and tape jams. Clean these parts with a cotton swab moistened with commercial head/pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl alcohol. z After long use, the deck’s heads and capstans may become magnetised, causing poor sound. Demagnetise these parts once every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial tape head demagnetiser. Read the demagnetiser’s instructions carefully before use. „ External care z Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap solution, then wipe with dry cloth. z Do not use chemically treated cleaning cloths or other chemicals. Symptom Possible cause z Cannot record. z Is the erase-prevention tab removed? z Cannot record tracks with proper sound quality. z Is it a normal tape? (You cannot record on a metal or CrO2 tape.) z Cannot erase completely. z Sound skipping. z Is there slack in the tape? z Cannot hear treble. z Is the tape stretched? z Sound fluctuation. z Are the capstans, pinch rollers, or heads dirty? z Cannot remove the tape. z If a power failure occurs during playback, the heads remain engaged with the tape.
