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 else-where 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.

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 generates 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.

PREPARATION FOR USE

● Unplug the AC power lead from the A C socket

before connecting or disconnecting any component.

■ Aerial connection

External FM aerial

Supplied FM aerial

Connect the FM aerial wire to the FM 75 OHMS socket and position the FM aerial wire in the direction where the strongest signal can be received.

Supplied AM loop aerial

Connect the AM loop aerial wire to the AM ANTENNA socket. Position the AM loop aerial for optimum reception. Place the AM loop aerial on a shelf, etc., or attach it to a stand or a wall with screws (not supplied).

Notes:

● Do not place the aerial on the main unit as it may result in noise pickup from the internal digital electronics. Place the aerial away from the unit for better reception.

● If the AM loop aerial and the FM aerial wire are placed near the AC power lead, interference ma y result.

External FM aerial

Use an external FM aerial if you require better reception. Consult your dealer.

Connect each speaker wire to the SPEAKER terminals as shown. Use speakers with an impedance of 4 ohms or more, as lower impedance speakers can damage the unit.

Caution:

● Before connecting the speakers to the unit, connect the speaker wires to the speakers first. Then, connect the speaker wire to the terminals on the unit.

● Connect the speakers to the main unit, and then use the system. If any of the speak ers is not connected, the main unit or the speakers may malfunction or may be damaged.

Notes:

● Connect the black wire to the minus (–) terminal, and the red wire to the plus (+) terminal.

● Do not mix the right channel and left channel wiring when connecting the speakers to the unit.

● Do not let bare speaker wires touch each other as this may damage the amplifier and/or speakers.

(Continued)

■ Removing the speaker grilles ■ Connecting the AC power lead

1 Remove the lower part of the speaker grille first. 2 Remove the upper part of the speaker grille.

Caution:

When the speaker grilles are removed, the speaker diaphragms are exposed. Make sure nothing comes into contact with the speaker diaphragms.

■ Speaker cushion

Attach the cushions to the bottom of the speaker to prevent it from sliding.

■ Placing the system

10 cm (4")

To AC INPUT

Connect the AC power lead to the AC INPUT soc ket, then connect the AC power lead plug to an AC socket.

Notes:

● Unplug the AC power lead from the AC soc k et if the unit will not be in use for a prolonged period of time.

● Never use a power lead other than the one supplied. Use of a power lead other than the one supplied may cause an electric shock or fire.
