Important Safeguards
CAUTION
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 basement, 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 V entilation - 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 openings; 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, paying 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/NFP A No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 140°F (60°C)
z
or to extremely low temperatures.
If your system does not work properly, disconnect the AC power cord from the

z
Warning:
The voltage used must be the same as tha t 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 resulti ng from use of this unit with a voltage
other than that which is speci f ied.
Volume contro l
„
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 ar e fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking can occur
due to an accumulation of dir t on the disc surface. Follow the guidelines below
for maximum enjoyment from your CD collection and player.
Do not write on eith er side of the disc, particularl y the non-label side from
z
which signals are read. Do not mark thi s surface.
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
z
cause noise or mistracking . If a CD is dirty or does n ot play properly, clean it
with a soft, dr y cl oth, wiping straight out from the center, along the radius.
