Precautions

General

„

z

Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well-venti­lated 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")

z

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

z

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

z

Do not place anything on top of the unit.

z

Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than

- Precautions -

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

z

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

General Informat ion

then turn on your system.

z

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

z

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

z

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

z

The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation
openings with items, such as newspapers, tablecloths, cur tains,
etc.

z

No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be
placed on the apparatus.

30 cm (12")

10 cm (4")

z

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

z

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

Warnings:

z

The 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.

z

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.

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.

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.

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:

z

Placing 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.

z

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

Installing the AM loop aerial:

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 vol t ­age number appears in the window (110 V, 127 V, 220 V or 230 V

- 240 V AC).

Preparation for Use

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.

Notes:

z

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

z

Never 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 c onnected
(see illustration ).

ENGLISH

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:

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

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

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

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

z

When 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.

z

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

Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label
side from which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.

z

Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive
moisture.

z

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
