a child or adult, and serious damage to the product. Use only with a
cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the product. Any mounting of the product should
follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
9 A product and cart combination should be moved with
care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces
may cause the product and cart combination to overturn.
10 Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for venti-
lation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it
from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on
a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This product should not be
placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper
ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been
adhered to.
11 Power Sources - This product should be operated only from the type
of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of
the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or
local power company. For products intended to operate from battery
power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
12 Grounding or Polarization - This product may be equipped with a
polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider
than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the
outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact
your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
Alternate Warnings - This product is equipped with a three-wire

built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA 70, provides information with regard 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 antennadischarge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode.

16 Lightning - For added protection for this product during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable
system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and
power-line surges.
17 Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits,
or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an
outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from
touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be
fatal.
18
Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
19 Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into this
product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points
or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill
liquid of any kind on the product.
20 Servicing - Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening
or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
21 Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this product from the wall outlet
and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
b)If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,
d)If the product does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may
result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the product to its normal operation,
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance - this
indicates a need for service.

ENERGY STAR® Program Information
As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, SHARP has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR®
guidelines for energy efficiency.
By using
ENERGY STAR® labeled products, you will save money on your electric bills and use less

ENERGY 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
labeled models will reduce that energy “leakage” 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

Precautions
" General
! Please ensure that the subwoofer/amplifier unit is positioned in a well-ventilated
area and that there is at least 4" (10 cm) of free space along the sides and back.
There must also be a minimum of 6" (15 cm) of free space on the top of the
subwoofer/amplifier unit.

4" (10 cm)
! Use the system on a firm, level surface free from vibration.
! Keep the system away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic fields, excessive dust,
humidity and electronic/electrical equipment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.)
which generates electrical noise.
! Do not place anything on top of the components.
! Do not expose the system to moisture, to temperatures higher than 140°F (60°C)
or to extremely low temperatures.
! If your system does not work properly, disconnect the AC power cord from the AC
outlet. Plug the AC power cord back in, and then turn on your system.
! In case of an electrical storm, unplug the DVD player and the subwoofer/amplifier
unit for safety.
! Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it from the AC outlet, as pull-
ing the cord 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.
! This system should only be used within the range of 41°F - 95°F (5°C - 35°C).

Warning:
The voltage used must be the same as that specified on this system. 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 system with a voltage other
than that which is specified.
Cooling fan
! During use the DVD player and the subwoofer/amplifier unit will get warm, do not
touch warm areas of the DVD player and the subwoofer/amplifier unit for prolonged periods to avoid damage to you or the DVD player and the subwoofer/
amplifier unit.
! This system is equipped with special function which protects amplifier circuit from
damages. When it is activated, sound switch is turned off. In this case, set the
DVD player and the AV control unit to the stand-by mode and turn it on again.
"
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 while turning the system on with the volume control setting up high, or
while continually listening at high volumes.
"
Care of DVD/CD discs
DVD/CD 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 DVD/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 moisture.
! Always hold the DVD/CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on the DVD/
CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a DVD/CD is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the center, along the
radius.
