Precautions
General
Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well ventilated area and
ensure that there is as least 4" (10 cm) of free space along the sides, top and
back of the unit.
Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration.
Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong
magnetic fields, excessive dust, humidity and elec-
tronic/electrical equipment (home computers, fac-
similes, etc.) which generates electrical noise.
Do not place anything on top of the unit.
Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 140°F (60°C)
or to extreme low temperatures.
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.
In case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for safety.
Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it
from the AC outlet, as pulling the cord can damage
internal wires.
Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result
in electric shock. Refer internal service to your lo-
cal SHARP service facility.
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 dan-
gerous 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, location
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.
Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label side from
which signals are read.
Do not mark this surface.
Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive 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.

Surround speakers:
The surround speakers should be installed on the wall. Install them 23-5/8" - 35-7/16"
(60 - 90 cm) above the height of your ears when seated, if possible (see page 13).
When the surround speakers are installed vertically, the speaker badge will be upside
down.
In this case, you can adjust the badge to face the proper direction.
Just turn it by hand.
Note:
The front speakers and center speaker are magnetically shielded. Therefore, they may
be placed alongside a TV.
However color variations may occur, depending on the type of TV used.
If color variations occur ....
turn off the TV (using the power switch). After 15 - 30 minutes, turn the TV on again.
If the color variation is still present ...
move the speakers further away from the TV.
Preparation for Use
– Speakers –
Placing the speakers
When you connect this unit to a DVD player playing a disc with the trade-
mark, you can enjoy realistic, powerful sound by playing the soundtrack through 5
channels; the front left, front right, center, surround left and surround right speakers.
The best sound will be achieved by placing each speaker the same distance from the
listener. Arrange the speakers so that the layout is as close as possible to the diagram
shown in this illustration.
Front speakers:
The front left and right speakers have individual shapes. For best performance, place
the speakers as shown in the diagram to the below.
Place a TV halfway between the front left and front right speakers.
Center speaker:
It is recommended that the center speaker be placed on top of a television.

Connecting the AC power cord
After checking all the connections have been made correctly, plug the AC
power cord of this unit into the AC outlet. If you plug in the unit first, the unit
will enter the demonstration mode (see page 15).
Note:
Unplug the unit if it will not be used for a prolonged period of time.
To install the surround speakers on the wall
Sharp designed the surround speakers so you may hang them on the wall.
Be sure to use the correct type and size of screw, as shown below.
1. Drive one screw into the wall for each speaker, as shown in the illus-
tration.
Make sure that both the screw and the wall can support a load of 45 lbs. (20 kg).
Drive the screws, so the screw head extends about 3/16" (5 mm) out from the
wall.
2. Install the surround speakers on the wall by inserting the screw heads
into the slots on the back of the speakers.
