"General
!Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well ventilated area and that
there is at least 10 cm (4") of free space along the sides and back. There must
also be a minimum of 15 cm (6") of free space on the top of the unit.
!Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration.
!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.
!Do not place anything on top of the unit.
!Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 60°C (140°F) or to
extremely low temperatures.
!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.
!In case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for safety.
!Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it from the wall socket, as
pulling the lead can damage internal wires.
!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 appa-
ratus.
!Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of battery disposal.
!This unit should only be used within the range of 5°C - 35°C (41°F - 95°F).
Warning:
The voltage used must be the same as that specified on this unit. Using this product

ble for any damage resulting from use of this unit with a voltage other than that which

Caution:
!During use the unit will get warm, do not touch warm areas of the unit for pro-
longed periods to avoid damage to you or the unit.

damages. When it is activated, sound switch is turned off. In this case, set the unit
to the stand-by mode and turn it on again.
"Volume control

and various other factors. It is advisable to avoid exposure to high volume levels, to
avoid this do not turn the volume on to full at switch on and listen to music at moder-
ate levels.
"Care of DVD/CD discs
DVD/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/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 DVD/CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on the DVD/
CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a DVD/CD is dirty or does not play prop-
erly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the centre, along the
radius.
