IUnplug the AC power cord from the AC outlet before connecting or disconnecting any component.

HAntenna connection

(1)Supplied FM antenna

Connect the FM antenna wire to the FM 75 OHMS terminal and position the FM antenna wire in the direction where the strongest signal can be received.

(2) Supplied AM loop antenna

Connect the AM loop antenna wire to the AM LOOP and GND terminals.

Position the AM loop antenna for optimum reception.

Place the AM loop antenna on a shelf, etc., or attach it to a stand or a wall with screws (not supplied).

Notes:

IIf static is still heard even after adjusting the position of the AM loop antenna, try reversing the wires.

IDo not place the AM loop antenna and the FM antenna wire on the unit. It may result in noise generation, since the unit is equipped with digital electronics.

Place the AM loop antenna and the FM antenna wire away from the unit for better reception.

IIf the AM loop antenna and the FM antenna wire are placed near the AC power cord, interference may result.

(3)Outdoor FM antenna

To connect a 75 ohm coaxial cable antenna, use the terminals marked FM 75 OHMS and GND.

To connect an outdoor antenna to the unit, it is recommended that a 75 ohm coaxial cable be used. Its shielded construction resists most types of electrical interference that can cause reception noise.

Consult your SHARP audio dealer for suggestions on the type of antenna best suited for your area.

Note:

When an outdoor FM antenna is used, disconnect the supplied FM antenna wire from the FM 75 OHMS terminal.

(4) Outdoor AM antenna

Use an outdoor AM antenna if you need better reception. Consult your dealer.

Note:

When using an outdoor AM antenna , be sure to keep the wire of the AM loop antenna connected.

HSpeaker connection

Connect each speaker wire to the SPEAKER terminals as shown.

IConnect the black wire to the minus (–) terminal and the red wire to the plus (+) terminal.

Cautions:

IDo not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as this may damage the amplifier and/or speakers.

IWhen connecting the speakers to the unit, connect the wires to the speakers first, and then to the terminals on the unit.

IWhen connecting the speakers to the unit, be sure to connect the speaker wires properly. Do not mistake the right channel for the left channel and the plus (+) terminal for the minus (–) terminal.

IUse these SPEAKER terminals for CP-X8 only, do not connect them to speakers other than CP-X8s.

IDo not allow any objects to fall into or to be placed in the bass reflex ducts.
