NERGY STAR® is a U.S. registered mark.
WHY PURCHASE
Many Electrical /Electronic Products use energy both when they are on
and when they are off. Americans spend more than $3 billion a year on
energy consumed by home electronic products when they are not in use.
The new
age” by up to 75 percent. Ultimately, this will mean more than $1 billion a
year in energy savings for consumers.
The energy savings will help reduce the burning of fossil fuels and the
related carbon dioxide pollution that contributes to global warming. If every
American family replaced their electronic equipment with
labeled models, it would reduce air pollution equivalent to eliminating more
than two million cars.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
CAUTION
All the safety and operating instructions should be read
before the appliance is operated, and should be retained for
future reference.
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This
unit has been engineered and manufactured to assure your
personal safety. Improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. In order not to defeat the
safeguards, observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and servicing.
1 Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the
operating instructions should be adhered to.
2 Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be
followed.
3 Water and Moisture - The appliance should not be used near
water - for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink,
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.
4 Carts and Stands - The appliance should be used only with a cart
or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.
● An appliance and cart combination should be moved
with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces
may cause the appliance and cart combination to
overturn.
5 Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to
a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
6 Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location
or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For
example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa,
rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings;
or, placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet
that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.
7 Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
8 Power Sources - The appliance should be connected to a power
supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or
as marked on the appliance.
9 Power-Cord Protection - Power-supply cords should be routed
so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords
at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the appliance.
10 Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth
for cleaning.
11 Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from
power lines.
12 Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected
to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to
proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.

in the drawing are not included.
<P=003>
PRECAUTIONS
■ General
● Do not use oil, solvents, gasoline, paint thinners
or insecticides on the unit.
● Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 140˚F (60˚C) 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 outlet, as pulling the cord
can damage internal wires.
● When cleaning the heads, pinch roller, etc,
remove the AC power plug from the AC outlet as
the unit contains high voltages.
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 does not work properly while in use,
set the POWER switch to OFF and then to ON
again.
● If an electrical storm is taking place near you, it
is suggested that you disconnect the AC power
cord from the AC outlet 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.
■ Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation
in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD pickup, tape
heads, 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 (or
cassette) 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.
■ Battery use
● Replace all old batteries with new ones at the
same time.
● Do not mix old and new batteries.
● Remove the batteries if they are weak or if the
unit will not be used for long periods of time. This
will prevent potential damage due to battery
leakage.
● Batteries are not included.
Caution:
● Do not use rechargeable batteries (nickel-cadmium battery, etc.).
■ 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 center, along the radius.
■ Cassette tape
● For playback, use normal or low-noise tape for
the best sound. (Metal or CrO2 tape is not recommended.)
For recording, use only normal tape.
● Do not use C-120 tapes, tapes with large
diameter reels, or poor-quality tapes, as they
may cause malfunctions.
● Before loading a tape into the cassette compartment, tighten the slack with a pen or pencil.
● Cassettes have removable tabs which prevent
accidental recording or erasing from taking
place. Removing the tab will protect the corresponding side from being erased. Cover the
tab holes with adhesive tape to erase or record
again.
Side A (1)
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.
