•
There may be some files that cannot be played even if they
are in JPEG format.
•
Progressive JPEG files cannot be played.
•
Moving image files as well as Motion JPEG format files
cannot be played, even though they are JPEG files.
Other files that cannot be played back.
You may not be able to play some still images which you
•
have created, touched up, copied or otherwise edited on
your computer.
You may not be able to play some still images you have
•
processed (rotated or saved by overwriting other images
you have imported from the Internet or e-mail).
You may experience one or more of the following
symptoms when playing files.
It may take some time to play files depending on the
•
number of folders, number of files and volume of data
involved.
EXIF information will not be displayed. EXIF stands for
•
Exchangeable Image File Format, and is a standard for
storing interchange information in image files, especially
those using JPEG compression. (Refer to http://exif.org for
more information.)

About the MP3 file format
MP3 files are audio data compressed in the MPEG1/2 Audio
layer-3 file format. “MP3 files” have “.mp3” as extensions.
(Some files that have “.mp3” extensions or files that have not
been recorded in MP3 format will produce noise or cannot be
played.)
Playing the MP3 file format
The MP3 files are not played in the order they were
•
recorded.
It is recommended to record data at a lower speed as data
•
recorded at a fast speed can produce noise and may not
be able to be played.
The more folders there are, the longer the reading time.
•
Depending on the folder tree, reading MP3 files can take
•
time.
The playing time may not be correctly displayed during
•
MP3 file playback.
The following files cannot be played on this
system.
When both Audio CD [CD-DA] format and JPEG/MP3 file
•
formats are recorded on a disc. (The disc is recognized to
be an Audio CD [CD-DA] only tracks in Audio CD [CD-DA]
format are played back.)
Multi-session discs cannot be played.
•

BD Video
Enjoy BD-specific functions including BONUSVIEW (BD-ROM
Profile 1 Version 1.1), such as picture-in-picture, and BD-LIVE
(pages 47 and 48).
For the BD video discs compatible with BONUSVIEW/BDLIVE, you can enjoy additional contents by copying the data
from the discs or downloading it via the internet. For instance,
this function is capable of playing the original movie as the
primary video while playing video commentary from the film
director on a small screen as a secondary video.
NOTE
The available functions differ depending on the disc.•
Title, Chapter and Track
Blu-ray discs and DVDs are divided into “Titles” and
•
“Chapters”. If the disc has more than one movie on it, each
movie would be a separate “Title”. “Chapters”, on the other
hand, are subdivisions of titles. (See Example 1.)
Audio CDs are divided into “Tracks”. You can think of a
•
“Track” as one tune on an Audio CD. (See Example 2.)
Example 1: Blu-ray disc or DVD

Important Information
Disc Precautions
Be Careful of Scratches and Dust
•
BD, DVD and CD discs are sensitive to dust, fingerprints
and especially scratches. A scratched disc may not be able
to be played back. Handle discs with care and store them
in a safe place.
Proper Disc Storage
Place the disc in the center of the
disc case and store the case and
disc upright.
Avoid storing discs in locations
subject to direct sunlight, close to
heating appliances or in locations
of high humidity.
Do not drop discs or subject them
to strong vibrations or impacts.
Avoid storing discs in locations
where there are large amounts of
dust or moisture.
Handling Precautions
•
If the surface is soiled, wipe gently with a soft, damp (water
only) cloth. When wiping discs, always move the cloth from
the center hole toward the outer edge.
•
Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzene, thinner, static
electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent.
Do not touch the surface.
•
Do not stick paper or adhesive labels to the disc.
•
If the playing surface of a disc is soiled or scratched, the
•
system may decide that the disc is incompatible and eject
the disc tray, or it may fail to play the disc correctly. Wipe
any dirt off the playing surface with a soft cloth.
Cleaning the Pick Up Lens
Never use commercially available cleaning discs. The use
•
of these discs can damage the lens.
Request the nearest service center approved by SHARP to
•
clean the lens.
Warnings about dew formation
Condensation may form on pick up lens or disc in the
•
following conditions:
Immediately after a heater has been turned on.
−
In a steamy or very humid room.
−
When the system is suddenly moved from a cold
−
environment to a warm one.
When condensation forms:
It becomes difficult for the system to read the signals
•
on the disc and prevents the system from operating
properly.
To remove condensation:
Take out the disc and leave the system with the
•
power off until the condensation disappears. Using
the system when there is condensation may cause
malfunction.

Positioning the Speaker System
Placing the Speaker System
To ensure optimal sound, it is recommended that you set up the speaker system as shown below.
Sound Bar speaker

Subwoofer
Default setting:
10 feet
Surround
speaker (left)
Default setting:
8 feet
Surround
speaker (right)
NOTE
The default distance is set to 10 feet for the Sound Bar speaker (Front L/R and Center speakers) and 8 feet for the Surround
•
speakers. If you cannot position the speakers at the default distance, adjust the speaker balance by using “Speaker Settings”.
(Pages 39-40)
Important points on speaker location
•
Place the Sound Bar speaker at the position just in front of near the television.
•
Place the surround speakers at a position just above the height of your ears.
•
The subwoofer vibrates while reproducing bass. Place it on a stable, sturdy surface.
•
The subwoofer reproduces only lower frequency bass tones.
•
Since the human ear cannot identify the direction of low bass tones, the subwoofer can usually be placed freely in the room
for the best sound result.
•
Bass sound is easily affected by the position of the subwoofer. If the bass tones in the listening position seem much too low
or too high, try changing your listening position. If the bass tone level changes when you change the listening position, try
relocating the subwoofer.
TV
Sound Bar speaker
Magnetically shielded speakers
The Sound Bar speaker (left/center/right) may be placed near the TV as it is magnetically shielded. However,
depending on your TV (cathode ray tube), color variation may occur on the TV screen.
If color variation occurs...
Turn off the TV (from 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.
If a magnet or other magnetic source is positioned near the TV, the combined magnetic field with that of the
speakers may cause color variation to occur on the TV screen.
NOTE
The surround speakers and subwoofer are not magnetically shielded.
•
If the color variation is still present, you may need to have your TV inspected.
•

Positioning the Speaker System
How to apply foot cushions
Affix the foot cushions (supplied) to the bottom of the speakers to prevent them from sliding or falling due to
vibration.
[Sound Bar Speaker] [Surround Speaker]
To mount the speakers on the wall
The Sound Bar speaker (left/center/right) and surround speakers can be mounted on the wall. The Sound Bar
speaker needs 8 screws and the surround speaker needs 2 screws to be mounted (not supplied).
CAUTION
Be very careful to prevent the speaker from falling when mounting on the wall.
•
Before mounting, check the wall strength. (Do not put on the veneer plaster or whitewashed wall. The speakers may fall.)
•
If unsure, consult a qualified service technician.
•
Mounting screws are not supplied. Use appropriate ones.
•
Check all mounting screws for looseness and that they are engaged in the speakers.
•
Mount the speakers on the wall using 2 screws each position.
•
Select a good location. If not, accidents may occur or the speaker may get damaged.
•
Avoid placing on a bed, sofa, water tank, sink and hallway wall.
•
To avoid accidents, fix the speaker wires to the wall. You may trip over them.
•
SHARP is not responsible for accidents resulting from improper installation.
•
The following may cause personal injury or speaker damage.
•
- Applying any other load to the fittings than the speaker.
- Modification or change of the fittings.
- Stepping on or hanging from the speakers. Especially pay attention to small children.
