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.

„Removing the transport screw
Before turning the power on, be sure to remove the transport screw on
the back of the unit using a flat-blade screwdriver or a coin.
Note:
This screw is required when transporting the unit again. Please keep it (see page 31).
„Aerial connection
Note:
Placing the aerial on the unit or near the AC power lead may cause noise pickup.
Place the aerial away from the unit for better reception.
Installing the AM loop aerial:
External FM aerial:
Use an external FM aerial if you require better reception. Consult your dealer.
Note:
When an external FM aerial is used, disconnect the supplied FM aerial wire.
„Speaker connection
Main terminals:
Connect the lower black wire to the MAIN (-) terminal and the blue wire to the MAIN
(+) terminal.
Subwoofer terminals:
Connect the upper black wire to the SUBWOOFER (-) terminal and the red wire to
the SUBWOOFER (+) terminal.
Caution:
Supplied FM aerial:
Connect the FM aerial wire tothe FM 75 OHMS
terminal and position the FM aerial wire in the di-
rection where the strongest signal can be re-
ceived.
Supplied AM loop aerial:

„Placing the speaker system
The left and right speakers have individual shapes. For best performance, place the
speakers according to the diagram below.
Bi-amp system:
Each speaker unit has a built-in subwoofer (low frequency range) which is driven sep-
arately from the woofer and tweeter (mid-to-high frequency range). Two independent
amplifiers which have individual frequency characteristics are used. By amplifying
separately the two frequency bands, clearer sound is achieved.
„Setting the AC voltage selector
Check the setting of the AC voltage selector located on the rear panel before plug-
ging the unit into a wall 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, plug the unit. If you plug the unit first,
the unit will enter the demonstration mode (see page 10).
Note:
Unplug the AC power lead from the wall socket if the unit will not be in use for a pro-
longed period of time.
AC Plug Adaptor
In areas (or countries) where a wall socket as shown in illustration is used, connect
the unit using the AC plug adaptor supplied with the unit, as illustrated. The AC plug
adaptor is not included in areas where the wall socket and AC power plug can be
directly connected (see illustration ).

Speaker grilles are removable:
Make sure nothing comes into contact with thespeaker
diaphragms when you remove the speaker grilles.
