 Use the unit on a rm, level surface free from vibration.
 Place the unit at least 12” (30 cm) away from any CRT

TV to avoid color variations across the TV screen. If the

variations persist, move the unit further away from the
TV. LCD TV is not prone to such variation.

 Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic

elds, 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).

 Do not lift the unit by holding left or right side panel, it may

cause speaker diaphragm or unit damage and broken.

Warning:

The voltage used must be the same as that specied on

this unit. Using this product with a higher voltage other than

that which is specied is dangerous and may result in a 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 specied.

■ Volume control

The sound level at a given volume setting depends on

speaker efciency, 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.
