Precautions
■
General
● Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well-ventilated area
and that there is at least 10 cm (4") of free space along the sides and
back.
There must also be a minimum of 20 cm (8") of free space on the top of
the unit.
● Use the unit on a firm, level surface free
from vibration.
● Keep the unit away from direct sunlight,
strong magnetic fields, excessive dust,
- Precautions -
humidity and electronic/electrical equipment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.)
which generates electrical noise.
● Do not place anything on top of the unit.
10 cm (4”) 10 cm (4”)
General Information
● Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 60° C
(140°F) or to extremely low temperatures.
● If your system does not work properly, unplug it. Plug the AC power lead
back in, and then turn on your system.
● In case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for safety.
20 cm (8”)
10 cm (4”)
● Hold the AC power plug by the head when unplugging the unit, as pulling
the lead can damage internal wires.
● Do not remove the outer cover, as this may
result in electric shock. Refer internal service
to your local SHARP service facility.
● The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items, such as
newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.
● No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on
the apparatus.
● Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of battery disposal.
● This unit should only be used within the range of 5°C - 35°C (41°F -
95°F).
Warnings:
● 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.
● CD players use a laser pickup which can damage the eyes if viewed
directly. Do not look at the pickup, and do not touch the pickup directly.
■ 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, which occurs whilst
turning the unit on with the volume control setting up high, or whilst continually listening at high volumes.

Precautions (continued)
Accessories

■ 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.
● Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label side from
which signals are read.
Do not mark this surface.
● Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive mois-
ture.
● 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.
● Do not attach labels or adhesive tapes on the CD. It may cause malfunc-
tion to the unit.
Please confirm that the following accessories are included.

■ Setting the AC voltage selector
Check the setting of the AC voltage selector located on the rear panel before plugging the unit into an AC socket. If necessary, adjust the selector to correspond to the
AC power voltage used in your area.
■ Connecting the AC power lead
After making all connections, plug the unit. If you plug the unit first, the unit will enter
the demonstration mode (see page 13).

■ Setting the FM/AM span selector
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has established that member countries should maintain either a 100 kHz or 50 kHz interval between broadcasting frequencies of FM stations and 10 kHz or 9 kHz for AM station. The illustration shows
the 50/9 kHz zones (regions 1 and 3), and the 100/10 kHz zone (region 2).
Before using the unit, set the SPAN SELECTOR switch (on the rear panel) to the
interval (span) of your area.
To change the tuning zone:
1 Unplug the AC power lead from the AC socket.
2 Set the SPAN SELECTOR switch (on the rear panel) as follows.
● For 50 kHz FM interval (9 kHz in AM) → 50/9
● For 100 kHz FM interval (10 kHz in AM) → 100/10
3 Plug the AC power lead to the AC socket.
Caution:
This operation will erase all data stored in memory including clock, timer settings,
tuner preset, and CD or MiniDisc programme.

Remote Control
■ Battery installation
1. Remove the battery cover.
2. Insert the batteries according to the direction indicated in the battery compartment.
When inserting or removing the batteries, push them towards the ë terminals.
3. Replace the cover.
Precautions for battery use:
● Replace all old batteries with new ones at the same time.

● Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for long periods of time. This will
prevent potential damage due to battery leakage.
Caution:
● Do not use rechargeable batteries (nickel-cadmium battery, etc.).
● Installing the batteries incorrectly may cause the unit to malfunction.
■ Test of the remote control
Face the remote control directly to the remote sensor on the unit.
The remote control can be used within the range shown below:
Press the ON/STAND-BY button. Does the power turn on? Now, you can enjoy the
