Sharp XL MP130 XL-MP130 Operation Manual - Page 38

XL-MP130 Troubleshooting chart (continued) Cassette deck Symptom Cannot record. Cannot record tracks with proper sound quality. Cannot erase completely. Sound skipping. Cannot hear treble. Sound fluctuation. Cannot remove the tape. Possible cause Is the erase-prevention tab removed? Is it a normal tape? (You cannot record on a metal or CrO tape.) Is there any slack? Is the tape stretched? Are the capstan, pinch roller, or heads dirty? If a power failure occurs during playback, the heads remain engaged with the tape. Do not open the compartment with great force. Tuner Symptom The radio makes unusual noises continuously. Possible cause Is the unit placed near the TV or computer? Is the FM antenna or AM loop antenna placed properly? Move the antenna away from the AC power cord if it's located nearby. Condensation Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD pickup, 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 disc (or 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. References Remote control Symptom The remote control does not operate. Possible cause Is the AC power cord of the unit plugged in? Is the battery polarity correct? Are the batteries dead? Is the distance or angle incorrect? Does the remote control sensor receive strong light? 38
