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

Antenna 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:
I
If static is still heard even after adjusting the position of the AM loop
antenna, try reversing the wires.
I
Do 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.
I
If 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.

Speaker connection
Connect each speaker wire to the SPEAKER terminals as
shown.
I
Connect the black wire to the minus (–) terminal and the red wire to the
plus (+) terminal.
Cautions:
I
Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as this may
damage the amplifier and/or speakers.
I
When connecting the speakers to the unit, connect the wires to the
speakers first, and then to the terminals on the unit.
I
When 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.
I
Use these SPEAKER terminals for CP-X8 only, do not connect them
to speakers other than CP-X8s.
I
Do not allow any objects to fall into or to be placed in the bass reflex
ducts.
