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 ASTA
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.

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.

To 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 con-

nected to the plug terminal which is marked L or
coloured red.

● Recording and playback of any material may require

consent, which SHARP is unable to give. Please refer
particularly to the provisions of the Copyright Act
1956, the Dramatic and Musical Performers Protection
Act 1958, the Performers Protection Acts 1963 and
1972 and to any subsequent statutory enactments and
orders.

● This equipment complies with the requirements of Di-

rectives 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 and the clock is displayed, 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.

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.

IF YOU HAVE 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 10 cm (4") of free space along the sides, top
and back of the equipment.

● 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 generates 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.

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.

Use speakers with an impedance of 4 ohms or
more.
Use of speakers with an impedance less than 4
ohms may damage your unit.

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

Notes:

● 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.

light may interfere with operation. Change the
lighting or the direction of the unit.

● Keep the remote control away from moisture, ex­cessive heat, shock, and vibrations.

■Connecting the AC power lead

AC 230 V, 50 Hz

To AC INPUT

To an AC socket

Connect the AC power lead to the AC power
input socket, then connect the AC power lead
plug to an AC socket.

Notes:

● Unplug the AC power lead from the AC socket
if the unit is not to be used for a prolonged
period of time.

● Never use a power lead other than the one
supplied. Otherwise, a malfunction or an acci­dent may occur.
