CD-DK891N Precautions

General Information

General

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

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

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

12" (30 cm)

12" (30 cm)

Place the speakers at least 12" (30 cm) away from any CRT TV to avoid color variations across the TV screen. If the variations persist, move the speakers further away from the TV. LCD TV is not prone to such variation.

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

Do not place anything on top of the unit.

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

If your system does not work properly, disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet. Plug the AC power cord 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 AC outlet, as pulling the cord can damage internal wires.

The AC power plug is used as a disconnect device and shall always remain readily operable.

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

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

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 while turning the unit on with the volume control setting up high, or while continually listening at high volumes. Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss.
