When you stop playback and replay the MiniDisc without removing it, playback starts from the point you stopped it.

Once you remove the MiniDisc, playback starts from the first track.

The unit provides the following functions when you use it with the separately available car adaptor (AD- CA20X) (when the rechargeable or alkaline battery is removed):

1.When you turn off the engine, the power of this porta- ble MD also turns off. (It may not work with some types of cars.)

2.When you restart the engine, playback starts from the beginning of the stopped track.

zA rechargeable nickel-metal hydride battery is the only kind that can be used. Even if the battery is not used, you should charge it at least once every three months because of the special quality of this battery.

zThe rechargeable battery can be charged approxi- mately 300 times.

zWhen the operating time is reduced to about half the normal amount of time, even after a full charge is per- formed, replace the battery with a new one (AD- N70BT).

zWhen the battery is charged for the first time or is charged after not being used for a long period, the operating time may be shorter than normal. The bat- tery life will recover with normal use i.e. charging and discharging.

zTo avoid shortening the service life of the battery only recharge the battery after it has been completely dis- charged.

zIf the rechargeable battery is used in a cold environ- ment, the operating time will be reduced.

zDo not carry the battery in your pocket or a bag together with metal objects (keys, coins, jewelry, etc.). The battery may short out and generate significant amounts of heat.

zDo not short-circuit the terminals as they will become very hot and will damage the battery.

zDo not drop or subject the battery to shock.

zDo not insert objects (metal etc.) into the battery com- partment of this product or into the rechargeable bat- tery.

Battery life is another highlight of the MD-MT88H. With the ability to run on standard AA batteries or a rechargeable battery pack, it delivers an impressive playback time, making it ideal for those on the go. The lightweight build emphasizes portability without sacrificing sound quality, ensuring that users can enjoy high-quality audio wherever they are.

Moreover, the MD-MT88H showcases an LCD display that provides essential information, including track titles, recording time, and remaining battery life, all easily viewable even in various lighting conditions. The device also features a skip/search function, allowing users to navigate their collection swiftly.

In terms of sound quality, the Sharp MD-MT88H does not disappoint. It is equipped with an equalizer that allows users to customize their listening experience according to their preferences. The integration of digital signal processing further enhances sound clarity and depth.

Overall, the Sharp MD-MT88H remains a notable piece of technology in the history of portable audio devices.
