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.
!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
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 responsi-
ble 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, to
avoid this do not turn the volume on to full at switch on and listen to music at moder-
ate levels.
"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.
!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 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 operation in an extremely humid environ-
ment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD pickup, 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 condensation on the transmitter with a soft cloth before operating the
unit.

Preparation for Use
- System connections -
!Speaker connection
Connect the black wire to the minus (-) terminal, and the red wire to the plus (+) ter-
minal.
Caution:
!Placing the speaker system
There is no distinction between the right and the left speakers.
Note:
The speaker grilles are not removable.
!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
number 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.
Notes:
"The unit will start the tape initialisation when plugged in to the AC socket. During
this process, initialising sound will be heard and the unit cannot be turned on. Wait
until the process is finished.
"Unplug the AC power lead from the wall socket if the unit will not be in use for a
prolonged period of time.
Right speaker Left speaker
"Use speakers with an impedance of 6 ohms or more, as
lower impedance speakers can damage the unit.
"Do not mistake the right and the left channels. The right
speaker is the one on the right side when you face the unit.
"Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other.
"Do not allow any objects to fall into or to be placed in the
bass reflex ducts.
"Do not stand or sit on the speakers. You may be injured.

System connections (continued)
!Setting the FM/AM span selector
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has established that member
countries should maintain either a 100 kHz or a 50 kHz interval between broadcast-
ing frequencies 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:
"Replace all old batteries with new ones at the same time.
"Do not mix old and new batteries.
"Remove the batteries if the unit is not to be used for long periods of time. This will
prevent potential damage due to battery leakage.
Caution:
"Do not use rechargeable batteries (nickel-cadmium battery, etc.).
"Installing the batteries incorrectly may cause the unit to malfunction.
Notes concerning use:
"Replace the batteries if the operating distance is reduced or if the operation
becomes erratic. Purchase 2 "AAA" size batteries (UM-4, R03, HP-16 or similar).
"Periodically clean the transmitter on the remote control and the sensor on the unit
with a soft cloth.
"Exposing the sensor on the unit to strong light may interfere with operation.
