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 unit.
z Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result
in electric shock. Refer internal service to your lo­cal SHARP service facility.
4" (10 cm)
z Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibra-
tion.
z Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong mag-
netic fields, excessive dust, humidity and electronic/ electrical equipment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.) which generate electrical noise.
- Precautions -
z Do not place anything on top of the unit. z Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures

z This unit 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 by this unit. Using this product with a higher voltage other than that specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or other types of accident, causing damage. SHARP will not be held responsible for any damage resulting from the use of this unit with a voltage other than that specified.
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 unit on with the volume control setting up high, or while continually listening at high volumes.
Care of DVD/SACD/CD discs
DVD/SACD/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/SACD/CD collection and player. z Do not write on either side of the disc, particular ly the non-label side from which
signals are read. Do not mark this surface.
z Keep your discs awa y from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive moisture. z Always hold the DVD/SACD/CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on the
DVD/SACD/CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a DVD/SACD/CD is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the center, along the radius.

Caution:
z Use a speaker system which has 35 W or more rated power input and 4 ohm
impedance.
z If the volume is turned up too high with the speakers of less than 4 ohm imped-
ance connected, the protection circuit of the amplifier is activated. No sound is produced temporarily.
z Do not mistake the and , and right and left terminals of the speaker wires. (The
right speaker is placed on the right when you face the unit.)
