ENERGY STAR® Program Information
As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, SHARP has determined that this
product meets the
ENERGY STAR® is a U.S. registered mark.
WHY PURCHASE
Many Electrical /Electronic Products use energy both when they are on
and when they are off. Americans spend more than $3 billion a year on
energy consumed by home electronic products when they are not in
use. The new
ergy “leakage” by up to 75 percent. Ultimately, this will mean more than
$1 billion a year in energy savings for consumers.
The energy savings will help reduce the burning of fossil fuels and the
related carbon dioxide pollution that contributes to global warming.
If every American family replaced their electronic equipment with
ENERGY ST AR® labeled models, it would reduce air pollution equiva-
lent to eliminating more than two million cars.
By using
your electric bills and use less energy.
That makes good economic sense and it’s good for our environment.

Maintenance

! Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation i n an ext remely
humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD
pickup, tape heads, 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 (or cas sette) 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.
! Before transporting the unit
Remove all CDs from t he unit. Your unit checks whether ther e are
any discs inside the unit when the tray is closed. "NO DISC"
appears if no disc is left . Then, set the unit to t he power stand-by
mode. Carrying the unit with discs left inside can damage the unit.
! Care of compact discs
Compact discs are fairly r esistant 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 CD collection and player.
" Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label
side from which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.
References
" Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessiv e
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 center, along the radius.

! Cleaning the tape-handling parts
" Dirty heads , cap stans or pinch rol lers can cause poor sound and
tape jams. Clean these parts with a cotton swab mois tened with
commercial head/pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
" When cleaning the heads, pinch rollers, etc., unplug the unit
which contains high voltages.

Pinch roller Erase head
Capstan Recording/Playback head
" After long use, the deck's heads and capstans may become mag-
netized, causing poor sound. Demagnetize these parts once
every 30 hours of pla ying/recording time by using a commercial
tape head demagnetizer. Read the demagnetizer's inst ructions
