4" (10 cm)

Use the unit on a fi rm, level surface free from vibration. O
Place the speakers at least 12" (30 cm) away from any CRT TV to avoid O
colour 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 fi elds, excessive O
dust, humidity and electronic/electrical equipment (home computers,
facsimiles, etc.) which generate electrical noise.
Do not place anything on top of the unit. O
Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 140˚F O
(60˚C) or to extremely low temperatures.
If your system does not work properly, disconnect the AC power lead O
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. O
Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it from the Wall O
socket, as pulling the lead can damage internal wires.
The AC power plug is used as a disconnect device and shall always O
remain readily operable.

Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result in electric shock. O
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 - O
35˚C).

Warning:

The voltage used must be the same as that specifi ed on this unit. Using O
this product with a higher voltage other than that which is specifi ed is
dangerous and may result in a fi re 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 specifi ed.
To prevent fi re or shock hazard, do not expose this appliance to dripping O
or splashing. No object fi lled with liquids, such as vases shall be placed
on the apparatus.

Condensation Q

Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an
extremely humid environment may cause condensation
inside the cabinet (CD pickup, 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 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.

If problem occurs Q

When this product is subjected to strong outdoor
interference (mechanical shock, excessive static electricity,
abnormal supply voltage due to lightning, etc.) or if it is
operated incorrectly, it may malfunction.

If such a problem occurs, do the following:

1

Set the unit to the stand-by mode and turn the power
on again.

If the unit is not restored in the previous operation, 2
unplug and plug in the unit again, and then turn the
power on.

Note:

If neither operation above restores the unit, clear all the
memory by resetting it.

Factory reset, clearing all memory Q

Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the power 1
stand-by mode.

Whilst pressing down the OPEN/CLOSE button, press

2

the ON/STAND-BY button until “Clear All” appears.

Caution:

This operation will erase all data stored in memory including
clock, timer settings, tuner preset, and CD programme.

Before transporting the unit Q

Remove the iPod/iPhone, USB memory device and disc
from the unit. Then, set the unit to the power stand-by
mode. Carrying the unit with iPod/iPhone or USB memory
device left docked or discs left inside might damage the
unit.

Care of compact discs Q

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 O
non-label side from which signals are read. Do not
mark this surface.

Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and O
excessive moisture.

Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, O
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.

E-13

Maintenance

Cleaning the CD pickup lens Q

In order to ensure proper operation of the CD player,
preventative maintenance (cleaning of the laser pickup
lens) should be performed periodically. Lens cleaners are
commercially available. Contact your local CD software
dealer for options.

Cleaning the cabinet Q

Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted
soap solution, then with a dry cloth.

Caution:
