Special Notes
NOTES FOR USERS IN THE U.K. AND IRELAND
The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 3A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS
1362 fuse marked or and of the same rating as above, which is also indicated on
the pin face of the plug must be used.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the
fuse cover fitted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the
plug supplied, cut-off the mains plug and fit an appropriate type.
DANGER:
The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed
immediately and disposed of in a safe manner.
Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A
socket outlet as a serious electric shock may occur.
To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:
IMPORTANT:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue : Neutral
Brown : Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with
the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
● The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is
marked N or coloured black.
● The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is
marked L or coloured red.
Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in
your three pin plug.
- Special Notes -
Before replacing the plug cover, make sure that:
● If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from
the cut-off plug.
● The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead and not simply over the
lead wires.
Important Instruction
IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

It is recommended that the centre speaker be placed near the television.
z
Place the surround speakers at a position just above the height of your ears.
The supplied speakers may be placed beside or near the TV as they are magnetically
shielded. However, colour variation may occur, depending on the type of the TV.
If colour variation occurs...
Turn off the TV (from the power switch).
After 15 - 30 minutes, turn the TV on again.
If the colour variation is still present...
Move the speakers further away from the TV.
Refer to the user's manual of the TV for details.

Installing the speakers on the wall
Mark
HT-CN300H
Front, centre and surround speakers can be mounted on the wall and their angle can
be adjusted. Each speaker needs 3 screws to be mounted (not supplied).
The design of the speakers allows them to
be hung on the wall.
Be sure to use the type and size of the
screw that are shown.
Make a hole in the wall using a
1
drill.
Drive a wall mount plug into the
2
hole using a hammer. Drive the
wall mount plug in until it is
flush with the wall surface.
Drive one screw into the wall

mount plug for each speaker.
z
Make sure that both the screw and the wall can support a load of 20 kg (45 lbs.).
z
Drive the screw, so the screw head extends about 3.5 mm (9/64") out from the
wall.
Install the speaker on the wall by inserting the screw head into the

Changing the speaker angle:
Whilst holding down the angle adjusting lever, move the speaker to the marking and
then release the lever.
The speaker angle can be adjusted in 5 levels.
Caution:
Check the stability of the ceiling or wall fully. Sharp is not liable for accidents
caused by insufficient stability of the ceiling or wall, or improper mounting.
The speaker may fall due to unstable mounting.
If you need any assistance, contact the dealer you purchased the system from.
The following may cause personal injury or speaker damage.
Applying any other load to the fittings than the speaker.
Modification or change of the fittings.
Stepping on or hanging from the speakers. Especially pay attention to small children.

RDS is a broadcasting service which a growing number of FM stations provide.
These FM stations send additional signals along with their regular programme
signals. They send their station names, and information about the type of programme such as sports or music, etc.
When tuned to an RDS station, "RDS" and the station name will be displayed.
"TP" (Traffic Programme) will appear on the display when the received broadcast carries traffic information, and "TA" (Traffic Announcement) will appear whilst a traffic
information is on air.
"PTYI" (Dynamic PTY Indicator) will appear whilst the Dynamic PTY station is
received.
"RT" (Radio Text) will appear whilst the unit receives the Radio text data.
"CT" (Clock Time) will appear whilst the unit receives the RDS CT data.
You can control the RDS by using the remote control only.
Information provided by RDS
Each time the DISPLAY button is pressed, the display will switch as follows:
Station name (PS) Programme type (PTY)
