Precautions

General Information

General

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 equipment.

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

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

Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong ma gnetic fields, excessive dust, humidity and electronic/electrical equipment (home computers, facsimiles, 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 60°C (140°F) or to extremely low temperatures.

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.

In case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for safety.

Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it from the wall socket, as pulling the lead can damage internal wires.

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

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

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

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

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

10 cm (4")

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 operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD pickup, 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 condensation on the transmitter with a soft cloth before operating 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.

Do not write on either side of the disc, particular ly the non-label side from which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.

Keep your discs awa y 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 centre, along the radius.

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 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.

Preparation for Use

Placing the speaker system

The left and right speakers have individual shapes. For best performance, place the speakers according to the diagram below.

Left speaker Right speaker

Notes:

The speakers are magnetically shielded. Therefore, they do not affect the display even you use them near the TV. However, some colour variation may occur, depending on the type of TV used.

If colour variation occurs...

Turn off the TV (from the power switch). After 15 - 30 minutes, turn the TV on again.

If the colour variation is still present...

Move the speakers further away from the TV.

If any kind of magnet or an electromagnet is placed too close to the TV and the system, irregular colours may appear on the TV screen.

- System Connections -

Speaker grilles are removable:

Make sure nothing comes into contact with the speaker diaphragms when you remove the speaker grilles.

Bi-amp system:

Each speaker unit has a built-in subwoof er (lo w frequency range) which is driven separately from the woofer and tweeter (mid-to-high frequency range). Two independent amplifiers which have individual frequency characteristics are used. By amplifying separately the two frequency bands, clearer sound is achieved.

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 12).

Note:

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

AC Pl ug Adaptor

In areas (or countries) where a wall socket as shown in illustration is used, connect the unit using the AC plug adaptor supplied with the unit, as illustrated. The AC plug adaptor is not included in areas where the wall socket and AC power plug can be directly connected (see illustration ).

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.

- System Connections -

Preparation for Use

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.

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

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