Precautions
!General
"Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well-venti-
lated area and that there is at least 10 cm (4") of free space along
the sides and back. There must also be a minimum of 30 cm
(12") of free space on the top of the unit.
"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.
"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 apparatus.
"Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of bat-
tery disposal.
"This unit should only be used within the range of 5°C - 35°C
(41°F - 95°F).
Warnings:
"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.
"CD players use a laser pickup which can damage the eyes if
viewed directly. Do not look at the pickup, and do not touch
the pickup directly.
"This product is equipped with a cooling fan inside, which begins
to run at a specified volume level for better heat radiation.
!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
exposure to high volume levels, which occurs whilst turning the unit
on with the volume control setting up high, or whilst continually lis-
tening at high volumes.
"Use the unit on a firm, level surface free
from vibration.
"Keep the unit away from direct sun-
light, strong magnetic fields, excessive
dust, humidity and electronic/electrical
equipment (home computers, facsimi-
les, etc.) which generates electrical
noise.

General Information
- Precautions / Accessories -
!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 collec-
tion 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.
!Condensation
Accessories
Please confirm that the following accessories are included.
Note:
Only the above accessories are included.
Sudden temperature changes, storage
or operation in an extremely humid en-
vironment may cause condensation in-
side the cabinet (CD pickup, 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 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.
