Precautions

H General

I Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well ventilated area

and ensure that there is at least 10 cm (4") of free space along the sides, top and back of the equipment.

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

10 cm (4")

Warning:

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.

Floor

I Do not place active subwoofer system on the same surface as main

unit to prevent sound interruption during playback.

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

I Do not place anything on top of the unit. I Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 60°C (140°F)

or to extremely low temperatures.

I If 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.

I In case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for safety. I Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it from the wall socket,

as pulling the lead can damage internal wires.

General Information

I Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result in electric shock.

Refer internal service to your local SHARP service facility.

I The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings

with items, such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.

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

apparatus.

I Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of battery disposal. I This unit should only be used within the range of 5°C - 35°C (41°F- 95°F).

E-3

Table

10 cm (4")

H 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. Do not turn the volume on to full at switch on and listen to music at moderate levels.

H Care of DVD/Video CD/CD discs

DVD/Video CD/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/Video CD/CD collection and player. I Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label side from

which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.

I Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive moisture. I Always hold the DVD/Video CD/CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or

water on the DVD/Video CD/CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a DVD/ Video CD/CD is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the centre, along the radius.

Supplied FM aerial:

Connect the FM aerial wire to the FM 75 OHMS terminal 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 to the AM LOOP socket. 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).

Note:

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.

Installing the AM loop aerial: < Assembling > < Attaching to the wall >

H Speaker connection

Connect the black wire to the minus (-) terminal, and the red wire to the plus (+) terminal.

Caution:

I Use speakers with an impedance of 6 ohms or more, as lower impedance

speakers can damage the unit.

I Do not mistake the right and the left channels. The right speaker is the one

on the right side when you face the unit.

I Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other. I Do not allow any objects to fall into or to be placed in the bass reflex ducts. I Do not stand or sit on the speakers. You may be injured.

External FM aerial:

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

Therefore, they do not affect the display even if you use them near the TV. However, some colour variation may occur, depending on the type of TV used.

If colour variation occurs...

Turn off the TV (from the power switch). After 15 - 30 minutes, turn the TV on again.

If the colour variation is still present...

Move the speakers further away from the TV.

Preparation for Use

Main Unit

H 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).

H AC power connection

After checking all the connections have been made correctly, plug the AC power lead of this unit into the wall socket. If you plug the unit first, the unit will enter the demonstration mode (see page 15).

Notes:
