● Bei Einstellung der ON/STAND-BY-Taste auf STAND-BY ist die Netzspannung immer noch im Gerät vorhanden. Wenn die ON/STAND-BY-Taste auf STAND-BY eingestellt und die Uhr angezeigt wird, kann das Gerät unter Verwendung der Timer-Betriebsart oder Fernbedienung in Betrieb gesetzt werden.

Warnung:

In diesem Gerät sind keine vom Benutzer wartbaren Teile vorhanden. Niemals Abdeckungen entfernen, außer wenn Sie dafür qualifiziert sind. In diesem Gerät sind gefährliche Spannungen vorhanden. Vor Ausführung von irgendwelchen Kundendienstarbeiten oder bei längerer Nichtverwendung des Gerätes stets den Netzstecker aus der Netzsteckdose ziehen.

● Lorsque la touche ON/STAND-BY est mise en STAND-BY, l’appareil est toujours sous tension. Lorsque la touche ON/STAND-BY se trouve sur la position STAND-BY et que l’horloge est affichée, l’appareil est prêt à fonctionner par la minuterie ou la télécommande.

Avertissement:

Cet appareil contient des pièces non réparables par l’utilisateur. Personne non qualifiée n’enlèvera jamais les couvercles.L’appareil contenant des organes portés à haute tension, débrancher l’appareil avant toute rép aration ou en pé riode de non- utilisation .

● Cuando el botón ON/STAND-BY está puesto en la posición STAND-BY, todavía hay tensión dentro del aparato. Cuando el botón ON/STAND-BY está puesto en la posición STAND-BY y el reloj se enciende, el aparato puede ponerse en funcionamiento utilizando el modo del temporizador o el controlador remoto.

Advertencia:

Tenga en cuenta que dentro de este aparato no hay piezas que pueda reparar. No quite nunca las tapas a menos que se esté cualificado para hacerlo. Este aparato tiene en su interior tensiones peligrosas. Desenchufe siempre la clavija de la red del tomacorriente antes de realizar cualquier servicio de mantenimiento y cuando no se use el aparato durante un largo per íodo de tiempo.

● Når ON/STAND-BY-knappen er sat pä STAND-BY positionen, er der stadig netspænding til stede i apparatet. Når ON/STAND-BY-knappen er sat i STAND-BYposition, og uret vises, kan apparatet startes v.hj.a. timer-funksjonen eller fjernbetjeningen.

Advarsel:

Apparatet indeholder ingen dele, der kan repareres af brugeren selv. Fjern aldrig kabinettet med mindre De er kvalificeret hertil. Apparatet indeholder farlig strømspænding. Træk altid stikket ud af stikkontakten før der foretages reparationer, eller hvis appara tet ikke er i brug i længere tid.

● Quando il tasto ON/STAND-BY si trova in posizione STAND-BY, all’interno dell’apparecchio c’è ancora la corrente. Se il tasto ON/STAND-BY si trova nella posizione STAND-BY e l’orologio è visualizzato, l’unità può venire accesa con il modo timer o con il telecomando.

Avvertenza:

PRECAUTIONS

■ General

● Do not use oil, solvents, petrol, paint thinners or

insecticides on the unit.

● Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 60oC (140oF) 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.

● Never open the cabinet. If a foreign object drops into the set, contact your dealer.

● 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 does not work properly whilst in use, press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the stand-by mode, then discon nect th e AC power lead f rom the AC so cket . Plug the AC power lead back in, and then press the ON/STAND-BY button to turn the power on.

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

● Before moving the unit, be sure to removing all CDs and MDs from the unit. Then, turn the power off and unplug the AC power cord. If you move the unit with CDs or MDs left in it, they may jam inside the unit, leading to damage.

Warning:

The voltage used must be the same as that specified on this unit. Using this product with a higher voltage 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.

■ Condensation

Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD pickup, MD pickup, etc.) or on the transmitter window 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) or wipe off any condensation on the transmitter window with a soft cloth before operating the unit.

■ 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. Signals are read from the non-label side. Do not mark this surface.

● Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive moisture.

● 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.

■ Installation location

Do not install the unit in the following places. Otherwise, it may cause trouble or accidents.

Places exposed to vibration

Places exposed to direct sunlight for many hours

● Places exposed to high humidity.

● Places exposed to excessive dust.

● Poorly ventilated places.

● Places exposed to water, for example, a bathroom.

● Places near objects which generate magnetism or electric

noise.

Hot places Extremely cold places
