IPlease 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.
IDo not place active subwoofer system on the same surface as main
unit to prevent sound interruption during playback.
IUse the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration.
IKeep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic fields, excessive
dust, humidity and electronic/electrical equipment (home computers,
facsimiles, etc.) which generate electrical noise.
IDo not place anything on top of the unit.
IDonotexpose the unittomoisture, to temperatureshigherthan 60°C (140°F)
or to extremely low temperatures.
IIf 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.
IIn case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for safety.
IHold theAC power plug by the head when removing it from the wall socket,
as pulling the lead can damage internal wires.
IDo not remove the outer cover, as this may result in electric shock.
Refer internal service to your local SHARP service facility.

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.
HVolume 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. Do not turn the volume on to full at switch on and listen to music
at moderate levels.
HCare of DVD/Video CD/CD discs
DVD/Video CD/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/Video CD/CD
collection and player.
IDo not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label side from
which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.
IKeep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive moisture.
IAlways hold the DVD/Video CD/CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or
wateron theDVD/Video CD/CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a DVD/
Video CD/CD is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry
cloth, wiping straight out from the centre, along the radius.

HPlacing the speaker system
There is no distinction between the right and the left speakers
.
Caution:
IDo not place active subwoofer system on the same surface as main unit to
prevent sound interruption during playback.
Notes:
IThe speakers are magnetically shielded.
Therefore, they do not affect the display even if you use them near the TV.
However, some colour variation may occur, depending on the type of TV
used.
If colour variation occurs...
Turn off the TV (from the power switch).
After 15 - 30 minutes, turn the TV on again.
If the colour variation is still present...
Move the speakers further away from the TV.
IIf any kind of magnet or an electromagnet is placed too close to the TV and
the system, irregular colours may appear on the TV screen.
