●

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

●

Place the speakers at least 12" (30 cm) away from any
CRT TV to avoid color variations across the TV screen.
If the variations persist, move the speakers further
away from the TV. LCD TV is not prone to such
variation.

●

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.

●

Do not place anything on top of the unit.

●

Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures
higher than 140˚F (60˚C) or to extremely low
temperatures.

●

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.

●

In case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for safety.

●

Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it
from the AC outlet, as pulling the cord can damage
internal wires.

●

The AC power plug is used as a disconnect device and
shall always remain readily operable.

●

Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result
in electric shock. Refer internal service to your
local SHARP service facility.

●

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.

●

This unit should only be used within the range of 41˚F ­95˚F (5˚C - 35˚C).

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.

■

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. Excessive sound pressure from earphones and
headphones can cause hearing loss.

Antenna connection

Supplied FM antenna:

Connect the FM antenna wire to the FM 75 OHMS jack and position the
FM antenna wire in the direction where the strongest signal can be
received.

Outdoor FM antenna:

Use an outdoor FM antenna (75 ohms coaxial cable) for better reception.
When an outdoor FM antenna is used, disconnect the supplied FM
antenna wire.

Supplied AM loop antenna:

Connect the AM loop antenna to the AM and GND terminals. Position the
AM loop antenna for optimum reception. Place the AM loop antenna on
a shelf, etc., or attach it to a stand or a wall with screws (not supplied).

Note:

Placing the antenna on the unit or near the AC power cord may cause
noise pickup. Place the antenna away from the unit for better reception.

■

Speaker connection

●

Connect the black wire to the minus
(–) terminal, and the red wire to the
plus (+) terminal.
Use speakers with an impedance of 4

●

ohms or more, as lower impedance
speakers can damage the unit.

●

Do not mistake the right and the left
channels. The right speaker is the one
on the right side when you face the
unit.
Do not let the bare speaker wires

●

touch each other.

●

Do not allow any objects to fall into or to be placed in the bass reflex
ducts.

●

Do not stand or sit on the speakers. You may be injured.

●

operation becomes erratic. Purchase 2 “AAA” size batteries (UM/SUM-3,
R6, HP-7 or similar).

●

Periodically clean the transmitter on the remote control and the sensor on
the unit with a soft cloth.
Exposing the sensor on the unit to strong light may interfere with

differ from its actual playback time.

●

Bitrate which is supported by MP3 is 32 ~ 320 kbps.

audio files which are compressed with Windows Media
Audio codec. WMA is developed by Microsoft as an audio
format file for Windows Media Player.

●

Caution:

This operation will erase all data stored in memory
including clock, timer settings, tuner preset, and CD
program.

■ Before transporting the unit

Remove all CDs from the unit. Make sure there is no CD in
the disc tray. Then, set the unit to the power stand-by
mode. Carrying the unit with discs left inside can damage
the unit.

■ 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.

● Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the
non-label side from which signals are read. 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 center, along the
radius.
