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.

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.
