ENERGY STAR® Program Information

As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, SHARP has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR®

guidelines for energy efficiency. ENERGY STAR® is a U.S. registered mark.

Toucher à l’enveloppe métallique externe avant d’agir sur les touches de

commande situées sur la façade.

WHY PURCHASE ENERGY STAR® LABELED PRODUCTS?

Many Electrical/Electronic Products use energy both when

they are on and when they are off. Americans spend more

than $3 billion a year on energy consumed by home electronic

products when they are not in use. The new ENERGY STAR®

labeled models will reduce that energy “leakage” by up to 75

percent. Ultimately, this will mean more than $1 billion a year

in energy savings for consumers.

The energy savings will help reduce the burning of fossil fuels

and the related carbon dioxide pollution that contributes to glo-

bal warming. If every American family replaced their electronic

equipment with ENERGY STAR® labeled models, it would

reduce air pollution equivalent to eliminating more than two

million cars.

Precautions

ENGLISH

Caution:

" General

! This subwooer/amplifier unit is fitted with a cooling

fan at the rear for improved cooling. Do not cover the

opening in this section with any obstacles.

! Please ensure that the subwoofer/amplifier unit 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 6" (15 cm) of free space on the top of the

subwoofer/amplifier unit.

6" (15 cm)

Cooling fan

4" (10 cm)

! During use the DVD player and the subwoofer/amplifier unit will get warm, do not

touch warm areas of the DVD player and the subwoofer/amplifier unit for pro-

longed periods to avoid damage to you or the DVD player and the subwoofer/

amplifier unit.

! This system is equipped with special function which protects amplifier circuit from

damages. When it is activated, sound switch is turned off. In this case, set the

DVD player and the AV control unit to the stand-by mode and turn it on again.

4" (10 cm)

! Use the system on a firm, level surface free from vibration.

! Keep the system away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic fields, excessive dust,

humidity and electronic/electrical equipment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.)

which generates electrical noise.

" 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,

which occurs while turning the system on with the volume control setting up high, or

while continually listening at high volumes.

! Do not place anything on top of the components.

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

or to extremely low temperatures.

! If your system does not work properly, disconnect the AC power cord from the AC

outlet. Plug the AC power cord back in, and then turn on your system.

! In case of an electrical storm, unplug the DVD player and the subwoofer/amplifier

unit for safety.

! Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it from the AC outlet, as pull-

ing the cord 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.

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

" Care of DVD/CD discs

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 prop-

erly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the center, along the

radius.

Warning:

The voltage used must be the same as that specified on this system. Using this prod-

uct 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 system with a voltage other

than that which is specified.
