is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and
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.

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

Precautions

 General

z Please ensure that the equipment 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 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

General Information

higher than 140°F (60°C) or to extremely low temper­atures.

z If the unit does not work properly, unplug and plug it

in again. Then turn on the unit.

z In case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for safe-

ty.

z Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing

it from the AC outlet, as pulling the cord can damage
internal wires.

4" (10 cm)

6" (15 cm)

4" (10 cm)

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.
