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 example, 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
Ventilation - 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/NFPA 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 antenna­discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

A
The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
B
Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance; or
C
The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D
The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or

Precautions
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 and back. There must also be a minimum of 4" (10 cm) of free space on the top of the unit.
4" (10 cm)
Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibra-
tion.
Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong mag-
netic 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 140°F (60°C) or to extreme 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 remov-
ing it from the AC outlet, as pulling the cord can damage internal wires.
Do not remove the outer cover, as this may re-
sult in electric shock. Refer internal service to your local SHARP service facility.
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.
4" (10 cm)
4" (10 cm)
4" (10 cm)
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 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 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, particularly the non-label side from which
signals are read. Do not mark this surface.
Keep your discs away 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 center, along the radius.
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 LED 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 LED with a soft cloth before operating the unit.

Bi-amp system:
This product drives the built-in subwoofer unit and the speaker unit composed of the tweeter and woofer for mid-to-high range frequencies with independent amplifiers which have individual frequency characteristics. By amplifying separately the two frequency bands, clearer sound is achieved.
