PRECAUTIONS

HGeneral

IPlease ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well ventilated area and ensure that there is at least 5 cm of free space along the sides, top and back of the equipment.

IDo not use oil, solvents, gasoline, paint thinner or insecticides on the unit.

IDo not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 140°F (60°C) or to extreme low temperatures.

IKeep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic fields, excessive dust, humidity and electronic/electrical equipment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.) which generates electrical noise.

IHold the AC power plug by the head when removing it from the AC outlet, since pulling the cord can damage internal wires.

IRemove the AC power plug from the AC outlet before cleaning. This unit contains dangerous voltages.

Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result in electric shock. Refer internal service to your local SHARP service facility.

IUse the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration, and do not place anything on the top of the unit.

IIf the unit does not work properly while in use, press the POWER button to turn the power off, then disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet. Plug the AC power cord back in, and then press the POWER button to turn the power on.

IIf an electrical storm is taking place near you, it is suggested that you disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet for safety.

IBefore moving the unit, be sure to remove all CDs and MDs from the unit. Then, turn the power off and unplug the AC power cord.

If you move the unit with CDs or MDs left in it, they may jam inside the unit, leading to damage.

Warning:

The voltage used must be the same as that specified on this unit. Using this product with a higher voltage than that which is specified is danger- ous 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.

HVolume control

The sound level at a given volume setting depends on a combination of speaker efficiency, location and many other factors.

It is advisable to avoid exposure to high volume levels, which occur while turning the unit on with the volume control setting up high, or while continually listening at high volumes.

HCondensation

Sudden temperature changes and storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet. Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction.

Follow the procedure below to eliminate condensation.

ICD and MD pickups

Leave the power on with no disc in the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour).

IRemote control

Wipe off any condensation on the transmitter window with a soft cloth before operating the unit.

HCare of compact discs

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 collection and player.

IDo not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label side. Signals are read from the non-label side. Do not mark on this surface.

IKeep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive moisture.

IAlways hold 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.
