■ General
● Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well
ventilated area and ensure that there is at least 4" (10cm)
of free space along the sides and back. There must also be
a minimum of 4" (10cm) of free space on the top of the
unit.
● Do not use oil, solvents, gasoline, paint thinners or insecti-
cides on the unit.
● Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher
than 140
°
F (60
°
C) or to extreme low temperatures.
● Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic
fields, excessive dust, humidity and electronic/electrical
equipment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.) which gen-
erate electrical noise.
● Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it from
the AC outlet, since pulling the cord can damage internal
wires.
● Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result in elec-
tric shock.
Refer internal service to your local SHARP service facility.
● Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration,
and do not place anything on the top of the unit.
● If the unit malfunctions while in use, press the ON/STAND-
BY button to enter the stand-by mode, then disconnect the
AC power cord from the AC outlet. Plug the AC power cord
back in, and then press the ON/STAND-BY button to turn
the power on.
● If an electrical storm is taking place near you, it is sug-
gested that you disconnect the AC power cord from the AC
outlet for safety.
Warning:
● The voltage used must be the same as that specified on
this unit. Using this product with a higher voltage other than
that which is specified is dangerous 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.
■ Care 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.
● Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-
label side.
Signals are read from the non-label side. Do not mark this
surface.
● Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and ex-
cessive moisture.
● Always hold the 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.
PRECAUTIONS
■ Volume control
The sound level at a given volume setting depends on a com-
bination of speaker efficiency, location and various other fac-
tors.
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.
■ Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an ex-
tremely humid environment may cause condensation inside
the cabinet (CD pickup, MiniDisc pickup, etc.) or on the trans-
mitter LED on the remote control.
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction.
If this happens, leave the power on with no disc in the unit
until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any
condensation on the remote control transmitter LED with a
soft cloth before operating the unit.
