MICRO COMPONENT SYSTEM  
4" (10 cm)  
Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from  
vibration.  
This unit should only be used within the range of 41˚F - 95˚F (5˚C  
- 35˚C).  
Warning:  
The voltage used must be the same as that specified on this unit. Us-  
ing this product with a higher voltage other than that which is speci-  
fied is dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of accident  
causing damage. SHARP will not be held responsible for any dam-  
age resulting from use of this unit with a voltage other than that which  
is specified.  
Keep the unit away from direct sunlight,  
strong magnetic fields, excessive dust,  
humidity and electronic/electrical equip-  
ment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.)  
which generate electrical noise.  
Volume control  
Do not place anything on top of the unit.  
The sound level at a given volume setting depends on speaker effi-  
ciency, location and various other factors. It is advisable to avoid ex-  
posure to high volume levels, which occurs while turning the unit on  
with the volume control setting up high, or while continually listening  
at high volumes.  
Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than  
140˚F (60˚C) or to extremely low temperatures.  
If your system does not work properly, disconnect the AC power  
cord from the AC outlet. Plug the AC power cord back in, and then  
turn on your system.  
In case of an electrical storm, unplug the  
unit for safety.

If trouble occurs  
Before transporting the unit  
When this product is subjected to strong external interference (me-  
chanical shock, excessive static electricity, abnormal supply voltage  
due to lightning, etc.) or if it is operated incorrectly, it may malfunc-  
tion.  
Remove all CDs from the unit. Make sure there is no CD in the disc  
tray. Then, set the unit to the power stand-by mode. Carrying the  
unit with discs left inside can damage the unit.  
If such a problem occurs, do the following:  
Care of compact discs

2
Set the unit to the stand-by mode and turn the power on again.  
If the unit is not restored in the previous operation, unplug and  
plug in the unit, and then turn the power on.  
Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking  
can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow  
the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your CD collec-  
tion and player.  
Note:  
If neither operation above restores the unit, clear all the memory by  
resetting it.  
Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label  
side from which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.  
Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive  
moisture.  
Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on  
the CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a CD is dirty or does  
not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out  
from the center, along the radius.  
Clearing all the memory (reset)

Maintenance  
XL-MP131  
Cleaning the tape-handling parts  
Cleaning the CD pickup lens  
Dirty heads, capstan or pinch roller can cause poor sound and  
tape jams. Clean these parts with a cotton swab moistened with  
commercial head/pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.  
When cleaning the heads, pinch roller, etc., unplug the unit which  
contains high voltages.  
In order to ensure proper operation of the CD player, preventative  
maintenance (cleaning of the laser pickup lens) should be per-  
formed periodically. Lens cleaners are commercially available. Con-  
tact your local CD software dealer for options.  
Cleaning the cabinet  
Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap  
solution, then with a dry cloth.

Recording/Playback head  
After long use, the deck's heads and capstan may become mag-  
netized, causing poor sound. Demagnetize these parts once  
every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial  
tape head demagnetizer. Read the demagnetizer's instructions  
carefully before use.
