Precautions

! Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it

from the AC outlet, as pulling the cord can damage in-

ternal wires.

General

! Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well-ventilated area and that

there is at least 4" (10 cm) of free space along the sides and back. There must also

be a minimum of 20" (50 cm) of free space on the top of the unit.

! Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result

in electric shock. Refer internal service to your lo-

cal SHARP service facility.

20" (50 cm)

4" (10 cm)

! Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibra-

tion.

! This unit should only be used within the range of 41°F - 95°F (5°C - 35°C).

Warning:

The voltage used must be the same as that specified by this unit. Using this product

with a higher voltage other than that specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or

other types of accident, causing damage. SHARP will not be held responsible for any

damage resulting from the use of this unit with a voltage other than that specified.

! Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong mag-

netic fields, excessive dust, humidity and electronic/

electrical equipment (home computers, facsimiles,

etc.) which generate electrical noise.

Caution:

During use the unit will get warm, do not touch warm areas of the unit for prolonged

periods to avoid damage to you or the unit.

Care of DVD/CD discs

! Do not place anything on top of the unit.

! Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 140°F (60°C) or to

extremely low temperatures.

! If the unit does not work properly, unplug and plug it in again. Then turn on the unit.

! In case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for safe-

ty.

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 center, along the radius.
