Important Safeguards
CAUTION
All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is
operated, and should be retained for future reference.
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This unit has been engineered
and manufactured to assure your personal safety. Improper use can result in
potential electrical shock or fire hazards. In order not to defeat the safeguards,
observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and servicing.
1 Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions
should be adhered to.
2 Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be followed.
3 Water and Moisture - The appliance should not be used near water - for ex-
ample, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.
4 Carts and Stands - The appliance should be used only with a cart or stand that is
recommended by the manufacturer.
● An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the
appliance and cart combination to overturn.
5 Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a wall or ceiling
only as recommended by the manufacturer.
6 Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does
not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the appliance should not be
situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may
impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.
7 Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.
8 Power Sources - The appliance should be connected to a power supply only of
the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the appliance.
9 Power-Cord Protection - Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are
not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the appliance.
10 Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
11 Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines.
12 Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver,
be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFP A No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

13 Nonuse Periods - The power cord of the appliance should be unplugged from the
outlet when left unused for a long period of time.
14 Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and
liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.
15 Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced by qualified ser-
vice personnel when:
A The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
B Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance; or
C The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change
in performance; or

ENERGY STAR® Program Information
As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, SHARP has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR® guidelines for energy efficiency. ENERGY STAR® is a U.S.
registered mark.
WHY PURCHASE ENERGY STAR® LABELED PRODUCTS?
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
ENERGY STAR® labeled
models will reduce that energy “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 STAR® labeled models, it would reduce
air pollution equivalent to eliminating more than two million cars.
By using
ENERGY STAR® labeled products, you will save money on your electric bills and use less energy.
That makes good economic sense and it’s good for our environment.
ENERGY STAR® is a U.S. registered mark.

Precautions
General
„
z Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well-venti-
lated area and that there is at least 4" (10 cm) of free space along
the sides and back. There must also be a minimum of 12" (30
cm) of free space on the top of the unit.
4" (10 cm) 4" (10 cm)
12" (30 cm)
4" (10 cm)
z Use the unit on a firm, level surface free
from vibration.
z Keep the unit away from direct sun-
light, strong magnetic fields, excessive
dust, humidity and electronic/electrical
equipment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.) which generates electrical
noise.
z Do not place anything on top of the unit.
z Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than
140°F (60°C) or to extremely low temperatures.
z If your system does not work properly, disconnect the AC power
cord from the AC outlet. Plug the AC power cord back in, and
then turn on your system.
z In case of an electrical storm, unplug the
unit for safety.
z Hold the AC power plug by the head when
removing it from the AC outlet, as pulling
the cord can damage internal wires.
z
Do not remove the outer cover, as this
may result in electric shock. Refer internal service to your local SHARP service
facility.
z This unit should only be used within the range of 41°F - 95°F
(5°C - 35°C).
Warnings:
z 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.
z
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.
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, which occurs while turning the unit
on with the volume control setting up high, or while continually listening at high volumes.

Precautions (continued)
Accessories
Care of compact discs
„
Compact 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 CD collection and player.
z
Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label
side from which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.
z
Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive
moisture.
z
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.
NO
Condensation
„
General Information
- Precautions / Accessories -
Sudden temperature changes, storage
or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD pickup, 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 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.

Notes:
z
The speakers are magnetically shielded.
Therefore, they do not affect the display even if you use them near
the TV. However, some color variation may occur, depending on
the type of TV used.
If color variation occurs...
Turn off the TV (from the power switch).
After 15 - 30 minutes, turn the TV on again.
If the color variation is still present...
Move the speakers further away from the TV.
z
If any kind of magnet or an electromagnet is placed too close to
the TV and the system, irregular colors may appear on the TV
screen.
