!If the unit does not work properly, unplug and plug it

in again. Then turn on the unit.

! 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 by this unit. Using this product with a higher voltage other than that specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or other types of accident, causing damage. SHARP will not be held responsible for any damage resulting from the use of this unit with a voltage other than that specified.

The front, surround and center speakers may be placed beside or near the TV as they are magnetically shielded. However, discoloration may occur depending on the TV type.

If color variation occurs...

Turn off the TV (with 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.

Refer to the manual of the TV for details.

Note:

The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded.

" Placing the speaker system
