z

Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well-ventilated area and
ensure that there is at least 10 cm (4") of free space along the sides, top and back
of the unit.

10 cm (4") 10 cm (4")

z

Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration.

z

Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic fields, excessive dust,
humidity and electronic/electrical equipment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.)
which generates electrical noise.

z

Do not place anything on top of the unit.

z

Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 60°C (140°F) or to
extremely low temperatures.

z

If your system does not work properly, disconnect the AC power lead from the wall
socket. Plug the AC power lead back in, and then turn on your system.

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 wall socket, as
pulling the lead can damage internal wires.

z

Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result in electric shock. Refer
internal service to your local SHARP service facility .

z

The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with
items, such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.

z

No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the appa­ratus.

z

Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of battery disposal.

z

This unit should only be used within the range of 5°C - 35°C (41°F - 95°F).

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 ma y 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 occurs whilst turning the unit on with the volume control setting up high, or

whilst continually listening at high volumes.

Condensation

„

Sudden temperature changes, storage or opera-

tion in an extremely humid environment may

cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD pick-

up, tape heads, etc.) or on the transmitter on the

remote control.

Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction.

If this happens, leave the power on with no disc

(or cassette) in the unit until normal playback is

possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensa-

tion on the transmitter with a soft cloth before op-

erating the unit.

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, par ticularly 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 centre, along the radius.

Setting the AC voltage selector

„

Check the setting of the AC voltage selector located on the rear panel before plug­ging the unit into a wall socket. If necessary, adjust the selector to correspond to the
AC power voltage used in your area.

Turn the selector with a screwdriver until the appropriate voltage
number appears in the window (110 V, 127 V, 220 V or 230 V - 240 V
AC).

Connecting the AC power lead

„

After making all connections, plug the unit. If you plug the unit first,
the unit will enter the demonstration mode (see page 10).

Note:

Unplug the AC power lead from the wall socket if the unit will not be in use for a pro­longed period of time.

Setting the FM/AM span selector

„

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has established that member coun­tries should maintain either a 100 kHz or a 50 kHz interval between broadcasting fre­quencies of FM stations and 10 kHz or 9 kHz for AM station. The illustration shows
the 50/9 kHz zones (regions 1 and 3), and the 100/10 kHz zone (region 2).
Before using the unit, set the SPAN SELECTOR switch (on the rear panel) to the
interval (span) of your area.

To change the tuning zone:

1 Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the stand-by mode.
2 Set the SPAN SELECTOR switch (on the rear panel) as follows.

z

For 50 kHz FM interval (9 kHz in AM) 50/9

z

For 100 kHz FM interval (10 kHz in AM) 100/10
