SPECIAL NOTES

NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.

The mains lead of this product is fitted with a nonrewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 3A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or AST A approved BS 1362 fuse marked or and of the same rating as above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug must be used.

Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.

Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three pin plug.

Before replacing the plug cover, make sure that:

● If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug.

● The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead and not simply over the lead wires.

In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut-off the mains plug and fit an appropriate type.

DANGER:

The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and disposed of in a safe manner. Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet as a serious electric shock may occur. T o fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:

IMPORTANT:

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Blue : Neutral Brown : Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

● The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or coloured black.

● The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red.

IF YOU HA VE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

● This equipment complies with the requirements of Directives 89/336/EEC and 73/23/EEC as amended by 93/68/EEC.

● When the ON/STAND-BY button is set at STAND-BY position, mains voltage is still present inside the unit. When the ON/STAND-BY button is set at STAND-BY position, the unit may be brought into operation by the timer mode or remote control.

Warning:

● This unit contains no user serviceable parts. Never remove covers unless qualified to do so. This unit contains dangerous voltages, always remove mains plug from the socket before any service operation and when not in use for a long period.

Warning:

● To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this appliance to dripping or splashing. No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

PRECAUTIONS

■ General

● Please ensure that the equipment is positioned

in a well ventilated area and ensure that there is at least 10cm (4”) of free space along the sides and back. There must also be a minimum of 20cm (8”) of free space on the top of the unit.

● Do not use oil, solvents, petrol, paint thinners or insecticides on the unit.

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

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

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

● When cleaning the heads, pinch roller, etc., remove the AC power plug from the wall socket as the unit contains high voltages. Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result in electric shock. Refer internal service to your local SHARP service facility.

● Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration, and do not place anything on the top of the unit.

● If an electrical storm is taking place near you, it is suggested that you disconnect the AC power lead from the AC socket for safety.

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

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

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

● The apparatus is designed for use in moderate climate.

Warning:

The voltage used must be the same as that specified on this unit. Using this product with a higher voltage 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.

■ Volume control

The sound level at a given volume setting depends on a combination of speaker efficiency , location and various other factors. It is advisable to avoid exposure to high volume levels, which occur 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, tape heads, etc.) or on the transmitter LED on the remote control. Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction. If this happens, leave the power on with no disc (or cassette) in the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensation on the transmitter LED with a soft cloth before operating the unit.

Warning:

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.

■ Care of compact discs

Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking can occur due to the accumulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from your CD collection and player.

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

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

● 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 from the centre, along the radius.

■ Cassette tape

● For playback, use normal or low-noise tape for

the best sound. (Metal or CrO2 tape is not recommended.) For recording, use only normal tape.

● Do not use C-120 tapes, tapes with large diameter reels, or poor-quality tapes, as they may cause malfunctions.

● Before loading a tape into the cassette compartment, tighten the slack with a pen or pencil.

● Cassettes have removable tabs which prevent accidental recording or erasing from taking place. Removing the tab will protect the corresponding side from being erased. Cover the tab holes with adhesive tape to erase or record again.

PREPARATION FOR USE

● Unplug the AC power lead from the AC socket before connecting or disconnecting any component.

■ Speaker connection

Right speaker

Left speaker

White line

■ Aerial connection

FM aerial

Connect the aerial wire to the ANTENNA socket.

FM aerial

Position the FM aerial wire in the direction where the strongest signal can be received.

AM loop aerial

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

AM loop aerial

Connect each speaker wire to the SPEAKER terminals as shown. Use speakers with an impedance of 4 ohms or more. Use of speakers with an impedance less than 4 ohms may damage your unit.

Notes:

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

● Do not mix the right channel and left channel wiring when connecting the speakers to the unit.

● Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other as this may damage the amplifier and/or speakers.

● The speaker grille is not removable.

**XL-30H(SUK)P01-P08 00.2.2, 3:53 PM7

Notes:

● Do not place the aerial on the main unit as it may result in noise pickup from the internal digital electronics. Place the aerial away from the unit for better reception.

● If the AM loop aerial and the FM aerial wire are placed near the AC power lead, interference may result.

● Do not connect the attached FM aerial to an external FM aerial. Otherwise, trouble may occur.
