SPECIAL NOTES

NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.

The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non­rewireable (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.

T o fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, f ollow
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.

● Recording and playback of any material may re­quire consent, which SHARP is unable to give.
Please refer particularly to the provisions of the
Copyright Act 1956, the Dramatic and Musical
Performers Protection Act 1958, the P erformers
Protection Acts 1963 and 1972 and to any sub­sequent statutory enactments and orders.

● This equipment complies with the requirements
of Directives 89/336/EEC and 73/23/EEC as
amended by 93/68/EEC.

● When the ON/ST AND-BY button is set at STAND­BY position, mains voltage is still present inside
the unit.
When the ON/ST AND-BY button is set at STAND­BY position, the unit may be brought into opera­tion by the timer mode or remote control.

Warning:

This unit contains no user serviceable parts. Never
remove covers unless qualified to do so. This unit
contains dangerous voltages, always remo ve mains
plug from the socket before any service operation
and when not in use for a long period.

Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is
connected to the earth terminal in your three pin
plug.

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.

IF Y OU HAVE ANY DOUBT , CONSULT A QU ALI­FIED ELECTRICIAN.

PRECAUTIONS

■ General

● Please ensure that the equipment is positioned

in a well ventilated area and ensure that there is
at least 10cm (4") of free space along the sides
and back. There must also be a minimum of 20cm
(8") of free space on the top of the unit.

● Do not use oil, solvents, petrol, paint thinners or
insecticides on the unit.

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

● Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong
magnetic fields, excessive dust, humidity and
electronic/electrical equipment (home comput­ers, facsimiles, etc.) which generate electrical
noise.

● Hold the AC power plug by the head when re­moving it from the AC socket, since 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.

● Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from
vibration, and do not place anything on the top
of the unit.

● If the unit malfunctions whilst in use, press the
ON/STAND-BY button to enter the stand-by
mode, then disconnect the AC power lead from
the AC socket. Plug the AC power lead back in,
and then press the ON/ST AND-BY button to turn
the power on.

● If an electrical storm is taking place near you, it
is suggested that you disconnect the AC power
lead from the AC socket for safety.

Warning:

The voltage used must be the same as that speci­fied on this unit. Using this product with a higher
voltage other than 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 giv en volume setting depends
on a combination of speaker efficiency , location and
various other factors.

It is advisable to avoid exposure to high volume
levels, which occur whilst turning the unit on with
the volume control setting up high, or whilst con­tinually listening at high volumes.

■ Condensation

Sudden temperature changes, storage or opera­tion in an extremely humid environment ma y cause
condensation inside the cabinet (CD pickup, MD
pickup, etc.) or on the transmitter LED on the re­mote control.
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction.
If this happens, leave the power on with no disc in
the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1
hour). Wipe off any condensation on the transmit­ter LED with a soft cloth before operating the unit.

Warning:

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.
