Precautions
■ General
● Please 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 equipment.
● 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.
● 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 5˚C - 35˚C (41˚F-
95˚F).
Warning:
The voltage used must be the same as that specified on this unit. Us-
ing this product with a higher voltage other than that which is speci-
fied is dangerous and may result in a fire or other type of accident
causing damage. SHARP will not be held responsible for any dam-
age 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 effi-
ciency, location, and various other factors. It is advisable to avoid ex-
posure to high volume levels. Do not turn the volume on to full at
switch on and listen to music at moderate levels.
● 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 equip-
ment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.)
which generate electrical noise.
● In case of an electrical storm, unplug the
unit for safety.
10 cm (4") 10 cm (4") 10 cm (4")

CD or MP3/WMA disc Playback
Listening to a CD or MP3/WMA disc
This system can play back a standard CD, CD-R/RW in the CD for-
mat and CD-R/RW with MP3 or WMA files, but cannot record on
them.
Some audio CD-R and CD-RW discs may not be playable due to the
state of disc or the device that was used for recording.
MP3:
MP3 is a form of compression. It is an acronym which stands
for MPEG Audio Layer 3.
MP3 is a type of audio code which is processed by significant
compression from the original audio source with very little loss
