NOTES FOR USERS IN THE U.K. AND IRELAND
The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded)
plug incorporating a 3A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI
orASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked or and of the same rating as
above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug must be used.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug
without the fuse cover fitted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compat-
ible with the plug supplied, cut-off the mains plug and fit an appropriate
type.
DANGER:
The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug
destroyed immediately and disposed of in a safe manner.
Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere
into a 13A socket outlet as a serious electric shock may occur.
To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:
IMPORTANT:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following
code:
Blue : Neutral
Brown : Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not
correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your
plug, proceed as follows:
● The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal
which is marked N or coloured black.
● The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug termi-
nal which is marked L or coloured red.
Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth
terminal in your three pin plug.
Before replacing the plug cover, make sure that:
● If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that
removed from the cut-off plug.
● The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead and not
simply over the lead wires.
IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULTAQUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Precautions
General
Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well-ventilated area and ensure
that there is as least 20 cm (8") of free space along the sides, top and back 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,
humidityand electronic/electricalequipment(homecomputers, 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 AC
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 AC 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 appara-
tus.
Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of battery disposal.
The apparatus is designed for use in moderate climate.
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 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.
If you use higher volume, timer indicator flashes and the equipment does not work.
It may malfunction (see page 72).
In this case, listen at a lower volume.
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 properly,
clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the centre, along the radius.
