General Information

Precautions
„General
zPlease 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 unit.
zUse the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration.
zKeep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic fields, excessive dust,
humidity and electronic/electrical equipment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.)
which generates electrical noise.
zDo not place anything on top of the unit.
zDo not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 60°C (140°F) or to
extremely low temperatures.
zIf 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.
zIn case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for safety.
zHold the AC power plug by the head when removing it from the wall socket, as
pulling the lead can damage internal wires.
zDo not remove the outer cover, as this may result in electric shock. Refer
internal service to your local SHARP service facility.
zThe ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with
items, such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.
zNo naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the appa-
ratus.
zAttention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of battery disposal.
zThis 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
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 whilst turning the unit on with the volume control setting up high, or
whilst continually listening at high volumes.
„Condensation
„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.
zDo not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label side from which
signals are read. Do not mark this surface.
zKeep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive moisture.
zAlways 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 centre, along the radius.
10 cm (4")
10 cm (4") 10 cm (4")
10 cm (4") Sudden temperature changes, storage or opera-
tion in an extremely humid environment may
cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD pick-
up, 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 cassette) in the unit until normal playback is
possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any condensa-
tion on the transmitter with a soft cloth before op-
erating the unit.

some colour variation may occur, depending on the type of TV used.
If colour variation occurs...
Turn off the TV (from the power switch).
After 15 - 30 minutes, turn the TV on again.
If the colour variation is still present...
Move the front speakers further away from the TV.

„To mount the surround speakers on the
wall
The design of the surround speakers allows them to be hung on the wall. Be sure to
use the type and size of screw that is shown to the below.
„Setting the AC voltage selector
Check the setting of the AC voltage selector located on the rear panel before plug-
ging the unit into an AC socket. If necessary, adjust the selector to correspond to the
AC power voltage used in your area.
Turn the selector with a screwdriver until the appropriate voltage num-
ber appears in the window (110 V, 127 V, 220 V or 230 V - 240 V AC).
„Connecting the AC power lead
After making all connections, connect the AC power lead to the unit
and then into the wall socket. If you plug in the unit first, it will enter
the demonstration mode.
Notes:
zUnplug the AC power lead from the AC socket if the unit will not be in use for a pro-
longed period of time.
zNever use a power lead other than the one supplied. Use of a power lead
other than the one supplied may cause an electric shock or fire.
AC Plug Adaptor
In areas (or countries) where an AC socket as shown in illustration is used, con-
nect the unit using the AC plug adaptor supplied with the unit, as illustrated. The AC
plug adaptor is not included in areas where the AC wall socket and AC power plug
can be directly connected (see illustration ).
„Headphones
1Drive one screw through the
wall for each speaker.
zMake sure that both the screw
and the wall can support a load
of 20 kg (45 lbs.).
zDrive the screws, so there is
about a 5 mm (3/16") space be-
tween the wall and the head of
the screw.
2Mount the surround speaker
on the wall so that the screw
head is inserted into the slot
on the surround speaker.

The recommended impedance is 32 ohms.
zPlugging in the headphones disconnects the speakers
automatically. Adjust the volume using the VOLUME but-

„Setting the FM/AM span selector
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has established that member coun-
tries should maintain either a 100 kHz or a 50 kHz interval between broadcasting fre-
quencies of FM stations and 10 kHz or 9 kHz for AM station. The illustration shows
the 50/9 kHz zones (regions 1 and 3), and the 100/10 kHz zone (region 2).
Before using the unit, set the SPAN SELECTOR switch (on the rear panel) to the
interval (span) of your area.
To change the tuning zone:
Caution:
This operation will erase all data stored in memory including clock, timer settings,
tuner preset, and CD programme.
Remote control
„Battery installation
Precautions for battery use:
zReplace all old batteries with new ones at the same time.
zDo not mix old and new batteries.
zRemove the batteries if the unit will not be used for long periods of time. This will
prevent potential damage due to battery leakage.
Caution:
zDo not use rechargeable batteries (nickel-cadmium battery, etc.).
zInstalling the batteries incorrectly may cause the unit to malfunction.
Notes concerning use:
zReplace the batteries if the operating distance is reduced or if the operation
becomes erratic. Purchase 2 "AA" size batteries (UM/SUM-3, R6, HP-7 or similar).
zPeriodically clean the transmitter on the remote control and the sensor on the unit
with a soft cloth.
zExposing the sensor on the unit to strong light may interfere with operation.
Change the lighting or the direction of the unit.
zKeep the remote control away from moisture, heat, shock, and vibrations.
„Test of the remote control
1 Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the stand-by mode.
2 Set the SPAN SELECTOR switch (on the rear panel) as follows.
zFor 50 kHz FM interval (9 kHz in AM) 50/9
zFor 100 kHz FM interval (10 kHz in AM) 100/10
3 Whilst pressing down the / button and the EQUALIZER/X-BASS/DEMO but-
ton, press the ON/STAND-BY button until "CLEAR AL" appears.
1 Remove the battery cover.
2 Insert the supplied batteries according to the direction indicated in
the battery compartment.
When inserting or removing the batteries, push them towards the battery termi-
nals.
3 Replace the cover.
Face the remote control directly to the remote
sensor on the unit.
