Precautions

Ñ General

zPlease ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well-venti- lated area and that there is at least 10 cm (4") of free space along the sides and back. There must also be a minimum of 30 cm (12") of free space on the top of the unit.

10 cm (4") 10 cm (4")

30 cm (12")

10 cm (4")

zUse the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration.

zKeep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic fields, excessive dust, humidity and electronic/electrical equipment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.) which generates electrical noise.

zDo not place anything on top of the unit.

zDo not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 60°C (140°F) or to extremely low temperatures.

zIf your system does not work properly, disconnect the AC power lead from the wall socket. Plug the AC power lead back in, and then turn on your system.

zIn case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for safety.

zHold the AC power plug by the head when removing it from the wall socket, as pulling the lead can damage internal wires.

zDo not remove the outer cover, as this may result in electric shock. Refer internal service to your local SHARP service facility.

zThe ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.

zNo naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.

zAttention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of battery disposal.

zThis unit should only be used within the range of 5°C - 35°C (41°F - 95°F).

Warnings:

zThe voltage used must be the same as that specified on this unit. 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 unit with a voltage other than that which is specified.

zCD 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.

Ñ 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 whilst turning the unit on with the volume control setting up high, or whilst continually listening at high volumes.

Ñ Condensation

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

Ñ Aerial connection

Supplied FM aerial:

Connect the FM aerial wire to the FM 75 OHMS socket and position the FM aerial wire in the direction where the strongest signal can be received.

Supplied AM loop aerial:

Connect the AM loop aerial wire to the AM and GND terminals. Position the AM loop aerial for optimum reception. Place the AM loop aerial on a shelf, etc., or attach it to a stand or a wall with screws (not supplied).

Notes:

zPlacing the aerial on the unit or near the AC power lead may cause noise pickup. Place the aerial away from the unit for better reception.

zWhen static is still heard even after adjusting the position of the AM loop aerial, try reversing the wire connections.

Installing the AM loop aerial:

< Assembling >	< Attaching to the wall >
	Wall Screws (not supplied)

External FM or AM aerial:

Use an external FM or AM aerial if you require better reception. Consult your dealer.

Notes:

zWhen an external FM aerial is used, disconnect the supplied FM aerial wire from the FM 75 OHMS socket.

zWhen using an external AM aerial, be sure to keep the wire of the AM loop aerial connected.

Ñ Speaker connection

Connect the wire with the white line to the minus (-) terminal and the black wire to the plus (+) terminal.

Caution:

zConnect the speaker wires to the speakers first, then to the unit.

zUse speakers with an impedance of 8 ohms or more, as lower impedance speakers can damage the unit.

zDo not mistake the right and the left channels. The right speaker is the one on the right side when you face the unit.

zDo not let the bare speaker wires touch each other.

System Connections (continued)

Ñ Setting the AC voltage selector

Check the setting of the AC voltage selector located on the rear panel before plugging the unit into a wall socket. If necessary, adjust the selector to correspond to the AC power voltage used in your area.

Turn the selector with a screwdriver until the appropriate voltage number appears in the window (110 V, 127 V, 220 V or 230 V - 240 V AC).

Ñ Connecting the AC power lead

After checking all the connections have been made correctly, connect the AC power lead to the AC power input socket, then into the wall socket.

Wall socket

Notes:

zUnplug the AC power lead from the wall socket if the unit will not be in use for a prolonged period of time.

zNever use a power lead other than the one supplied. Use of a power lead other than the one supplied may cause an electric shock or fire.

AC Plug Adaptor

In areas (or countries) where a wall socket as shown in illustration is used, connect the unit using the AC plug adaptor supplied with the unit, as illustrated. The AC plug adaptor is not included in areas where the wall socket and AC power plug can be directly connected (see illustration ).

E-9 ENGLISH

Ñ Setting the AM/FM interval

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has established that member countries should maintain either a 10 kHz or 9 kHz interval between broadcasting frequencies of AM stations and 100 kHz or 50 kHz for FM stations. The illustration shows the 50/9 kHz zones (regions 1 and 3), and the 100/10 kHz zone (region 2).

This product is not equipped with a span selector. However, it will be adjusted to a 9 kHz AM (50 kHz FM) interval when shipped from the factory.

Before using the unit, be sure to set it to the AM/FM tuning interval (span) used in your area.

To check the tuning span currently selected:

1Press the ON/STAND-BY button to turn the power on.

2Press the FUNCTION button until "AM" appears on the display. z If "AM 531 kHz" is displayed, it means that AM stations have

been adjusted for a 9 kHz span and FM stations for 50 kHz span. If "AM 530 kHz" is displayed, AM stations have been adjusted for a 10 kHz span and FM stations for 100 kHz span.

To change from a 9 kHz AM (50 kHz FM) interval to a 10 kHz AM (100 kHz FM) interval:

1Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the stand-by mode.

2Hold down the button and the MEMORY/SET button for at least 4 seconds. Release the buttons when "AM SP 10 kHz" and

"FM SP 100 kHz" are displayed alternately. z The clock display will reappear.

To return to a 9 kHz AM (50 kHz FM) interval:

1Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the stand-by mode.

2Hold down the button and the MEMORY/SET button for at least 4 seconds. Release the buttons when "AM SP 9 kHz" and

"FM SP 50 kHz" are displayed alternately. z The clock display will reappear.

Caution:

zWhen the unit is left for a few hours after the span has been switched and the AC power lead disconnected, the AM span will be automatically returned to 9 kHz (FM span to 50 kHz). If this happens, set the span again.

zWhen the span is switched, all the memorised stations will be cancelled.
