No Fingers or Other Objects Inside

Do not put your fingers or objects on the disc tray.

Nonuse Periods

• When the unit is not being used, switch the unit to the standby mode.

• When left unused for a long period of time, the unit should be unplugged from the household AC outlet.

Copyright may exist in material you wish to record. Copying such material without permission of the relevant licensee(s) or owner(s) of the copyright is prohibited by law. SHARP is not in a position to authorise the recording of copyright works and nothing in this manual should be read or implied as giving that authority.

• Do not stand the unit vertically. Install the unit in a horizontal and stable position. Do not place anything directly on top of the unit. Do not place the unit directly on top of the TV.

• Do not cover or place the unit in enclosed spaces to prevent excessive temperature build up.

• Do not place the unit in direct sunlight, or near heat sources.

• Depending on the environment, the temperature of the unit may increase slightly. This is not a malfunction.

• Keep the unit away from strong magnetic objects.

• Do not place any object containing water or other liquids on the unit. In the event that liquid should enter the cabinet, unplug the unit immediately and contact the retailer or service centre approved by SHARP immediately.

• Do not remove the unit cabinet. Touching parts inside the cabinet could result in electric shock and/or damage to the unit. For service and adjustment inside the cabinet, call a qualified dealer or service centre approved by SHARP.

• Be sure to remove a disc and unplug the AC power cord from the output before carrying the unit.

Location and Handling

Servicing

1. Please refer to relevant topics in the “Troubleshooting Guide” on page 23 before returning the product.

2. Do not attempt to service this unit yourself. Instead, unplug it and contact a SHARP Approved Service Centre for inspection. (Refer to page 23.)

3. Be sure the service technician uses authorised replacement parts or their equivalents. Unauthorised parts may cause fire, electrical shock, or other hazards.

4. Following any service or repair, be sure the service technician performs safety checks to certify that this unit is in safe operating order.

Cleanning the cabinet

• Use a soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild detergent

solution. Do not use a solution containing alcohol, spirits, ammonia or abrasive.

Cleaning discs

• When a disc becomes dirty, clean it with a cleaning cloth.

Wipe the disc from the centre out. Do not wipe in a circular motion.

• Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, commercially

available cleaners, detergent, abrasive cleaning agents or antistatic spray intended for analogue records.

Recommended measures for optimum picture excellence

• The disc cannot be played if the disc drive component is

worn out or if the internal pick up lens is dirty.

• If this unit still does not perform properly although you refer

to the relevant sections and to “Troubleshooting Guide” on page 23, the laser optical pickup unit may be dirty. Consult a SHARP Approved Service Centre for inspection and

cleaning of the laser optical pickup unit. Soiling or friction affecting the pickup lens or disc drive can impair the image quality. At the w

orst, neither video nor audio will be played back. To maintain optimum picture quality, the Player should be serviced (cleaned and replacement of some parts) every 1,000 hours. Note that this period varies depending on the environment (temperature, humidity, dust, etc.) in which the unit is used. Contact your authorised SHARP supplier for details.

Disc handling

• When you handle a disc, hold it by its edge and try not to

touch the surface of the disc.

• Always store a disc in its protective case when it is not

used.
