This Player has been designed on the premise of playing 
back Audio CDs that comply with CD (Compact Disc) 
standards. CDs containing a signal for the purpose of 
protecting copyrights (copy control signal) may not be able 
to be played back with this Player.
BD/DVD video players and discs have region codes, which 
dictate the regions in which a disc can be played. This 
Player's region code is B for BD and 2 for DVD. (Discs 
marked ALL will play in any player.)
BD/DVD video operations and functions may be different 
from the explanations in this manual and some operations 
may be prohibited due to disc manufacturer's settings.
If a menu screen or operating instructions are displayed 
during playback of a disc, follow the operating procedure 
displayed.
The audio component of a DVD video recorded at 96 
kHz (Linear PCM) will be output as 48 kHz audio during 
playback.

Playback for some of the discs in the left side column 
tables may not be possible depending on the disc.
“Finalise” refers to a recorder processing a recorded disc 
so that it will play in other DVD players/recorders as well 
as this player. Only finalised DVD discs will play back in 
this player. (This player does not have a function to finalise 
discs.)

Discs on which data has not been recorded cannot be 
played back.
Sharp cannot guarantee playback compatibility for all 
self-recorded BD-discs because Blu-ray is a new and 
evolving format. The playback compatibility will be affected 
by your choice of BD-recorder, BD-disc and BD-burning 
software. Please always ensure you are using the latest 
software versions on all units and contact the individual 
manufacturers for further help if required.
To avoid inconveniences, please check the playback 
compatibility of your self-recorded disc before you 
purchase this BD-player.  For maximum playback 
compatibility of self-recorded BD-discs Sharp recommends 
that the BDMV/BDAV standards are used. If a playback 
issue occurs after purchase, please download the latest 
software version for your BD-player from the Sharp internet 
page www.sharp.co.uk/page/downloaddrivermanuals 
(select Drivers then Software Downloads), or ask your 
Sharp-Dealer.
This BD-player uses the latest technology available at the 
time of development and cannot guarantee support for 
future enhancements or changes to the standard.

Discs containing a signal for the purpose of protecting 
copyrights (copy control signal) may not be played back

number of folders, number of files and volume of data 
involved.

Exchangeable Image File Format, and is a standard for 
storing interchange information in image files, especially 
those using JPEG compression. (Refer to http://exif.org for

DVD discs can contain up to 8 separate tracks with 
a different language on each. The first in the list is the 
original track.
This section also details the audio format of each 
soundtrack — Dolby Digital, DTS, MPEG etc.

A sound system developed by Dolby Laboratories Inc.

different angles (the same scene is shot from the front, 
from the left side, from the right side, etc.).

This indicates the region code (playable region code).

Enjoy BD-specific functions including BONUSVIEW (BD-ROM 
Profile 1 Version 1.1), such as picture-in-picture, and BD-LIVE 
(page 27).
For the BD video discs compatible with BONUSVIEW/BD-
LIVE, you can enjoy additional contents by copying the data 
from the discs or downloading it via the internet. For instance, 
this function is capable of playing the original movie as the 
primary video while playing video commentary from the film 
director on a small screen as a secondary video.

The available functions differ depending on the disc.

•

Blu-ray discs and 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. (See Example 1.)
Audio CDs are divided into “Tracks”. You can think of a 
“Track” as one tune on an Audio CD. (See Example 2.)

Example 1: Blu-ray disc or DVD

BD, DVD and CD discs are sensitive to dust, fingerprints 
and especially scratches. A scratched disc may not be able 
to be played back. Handle discs with care and store them 
in a safe place.

Place the disc in the centre of the 
disc case and store the case and 
disc upright.

Avoid storing discs in locations 
subject to direct sunlight, close to 
heating appliances or in locations 
of high humidity.

Do not drop discs or subject them 
to strong vibrations or impacts.

Avoid storing discs in locations 
where there are large amounts of 
dust or moisture.

If the surface is soiled, wipe gently with a soft, damp (water 
only) cloth. When wiping discs, always move the cloth from 
the centre hole toward the outer edge.

Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzene, thinner, static 
electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent. 
Do not touch the surface.
Do not stick paper or adhesive labels to the disc. 
If the playing surface of a disc is soiled or scratched, the 
Player may decide that the disc is incompatible and eject 
the disc tray, or it may fail to play the disc correctly. Wipe 
any dirt off the playing surface with a soft cloth.

Never use commercially available cleaning discs. The use 
of these discs can damage the lens.
Request the nearest service centre approved by SHARP to 
clean the lens.

Condensation may form on pick up lens or disc in the 
following conditions:

Immediately after a heater has been turned on.
In a steamy or very humid room.
When the Player is suddenly moved from a cold 
environment to a warm one.

It becomes difficult for the Player to read the signals 
on the disc and prevents the Player from operating 
properly.

Take out the disc and leave the Player with the power 
off until the condensation disappears. Using the Player 
when there is condensation may cause malfunction.
