Precautions



General

z

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 unit.

z

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

z

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.

z

Do not place anything on top of the unit.

z

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

z

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.

z

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

z

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

z

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

z

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

z

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

z

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

z

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

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, to
avoid this do not turn the volume on to full at switch on and listen to music at moder­ate levels.



Condensation



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.

z

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

z

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

z

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.

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

10 cm (4")

10 cm (4")

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.

If trouble occurs

When this product is subjected to strong external 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.
2 If the unit is not restored in the previous operation, unplug and plug in the unit,

and then turn the power on.

Note:

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

Dirty heads, capstans or pinch rollers can cause poor sound and tape jams. Clean
these parts with a cotton swab moistened with commercial head/pinch roller
cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.

z

When cleaning the heads, pinch rollers, etc., unplug the unit which contains high
voltages.

z

After long use, the deck's heads and capstans may become magnetised, causing
poor sound. Demagnetise these parts once every 30 hours of playing/recording
time by using a commercial tape head demagnetiser. Read the demagnetiser's
instructions carefully before use.
