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

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

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.
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.
Buttons with " " mark in the illustration can be operated on the remote control
only.
Other buttons can be operated both on the main unit and the remote control.

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 speakerRight 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.
