All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is
operated, and should be retained for future reference.
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This unit has been engineered
and manufactured to assure your personal safety. Improper use can result in
potential electrical shock or fire hazards. In order not to defeat the safeguards,
observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and servicing.
1 Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions
should be adhered to.
2 Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be followed.
3 Water and Moisture - The appliance should not be used near water - for ex-
ample, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet base-
ment, or near a swimming pool, etc.
4 Carts and Stands - The appliance should be used only with a cart or stand that is
recommended by the manufacturer.
An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the
appliance and cart combination to overturn.
5 Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a wall or ceiling
only as recommended by the manufacturer.
6 Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does
not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be
situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation open-
ings; or, placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may
impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.
7 Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.
8 Power Sources - The appliance should be connected to a power supply only of
the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.
9 Power-Cord Protection - Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are
not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, pay-
ing particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the appliance.
10 Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
11 Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines.
12 Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver,
be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper ground-
ing of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an an-
tenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding elec-
trode.

Precautions
General
z
Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well-ventilated area and
ensure that there is at least 4" (10 cm) of free space along the sides, top and
back of the unit.
z
Do not place anything on top of the unit.
z
Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 140°F (60°C)
or to extremely low temperatures.
z
If your system does not work properly, disconnect the AC power cord from the
AC outlet. Plug the AC power cord back in, and then turn on your system.
z
This unit should only be used within the range of 41°F - 95°F (5°C - 35°C).
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.
Volume control
The sound level at a given volume setting depends on speaker efficiency, loca-
tion and various 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.
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.
z
Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label side from
which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.
z
Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive moisture.
z
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.
z
Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibra-
tion.
z
Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong
magnetic fields, excessive dust, humidity and
electronic/electrical equipment (home comput-
ers, facsimiles, etc.) which generates electrical
noise.
z
In case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for
safety.
z
Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing
it from the AC outlet, as pulling the cord can dam-
age internal wires.
