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

Notes:
ꢁThe front speakers and active subwoofer are magnetically
shielded but rear speakers no magnetically shielded.
Therefore, front speakers and active subwoofer do not affect the
display even if you use them near the TV. However, some color
variation may occur, depending on the type of TV used but rear
speakers cannot put near display.
If color variation occurs...
Turn off the TV (from the power switch).
After 15 - 30 minutes, turn the TV on again.
If the color variation is still present...
Move the speakers further away from the TV.
ꢁIf any kind of magnet or an electromagnet is placed too close to
the TV and the system, irregular colors may appear on the TV
screen.
Note:
The speaker grilles are not removable.

Troubleshooting chart
Many potential problems can be resolved by the owner without
calling a service technician.
If something is wrong with this product, check the following before
calling your authorized SHARP dealer or service center.
ꢁ Headphones
ꢀBefore plugging in or unplugging the headphones, reduce the
volume.
ꢀBe sure your headphones have a 1/8" (3.5 mm) diameter plug and
impedance between 16 and 50 ohms. The recommended
impedance is 32 ohms.
ꢀPlugging in the headphones disconnects the speakers
automatically. Adjust the volume using the VOLUME control.

ꢁ Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely
humid environment 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.

Troubleshooting chart (continued)
ꢁ If trouble occurs
ꢁ Before transporting the unit
Remove all CDs from the unit. Make sure there is no CD in the disc
tray. Then, set the unit to the power stand-by mode. Carrying the unit
with discs left inside can damage the unit.
When this product is subjected to strong external interference
(mechanical shock, excessive static electricity, abnormal supply
voltage due to lightning, etc.) or if it is operated incorrectly, it may
malfunction.
ꢁ Care of compact discs
If such a problem occurs, do the following:
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.
1
2
Set the unit to the stand-by mode and turn the power on again.
If the unit is not restored in the previous operation, unplug and
plug in the unit, and then turn the power on.
Note:
ꢀ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.
If neither operation above restores the unit, clear all the memory by
resetting it.
ꢀ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 center, along the radius.
ꢁ Clearing all the memory (reset)
1
Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the power stand-by
mode.

While pressing down the button and the button, press the
TUNER (BAND) button until "CLEAR ALL" appears.

Maintenance
ꢁ Cleaning the tape-handling parts
ꢁ Cleaning the CD pickup lens
ꢀDirty heads, capstans or pinch rollers can cause poor sound and
tape jams. Clean these parts with a cotton swab moistened with
commercial head/pinch roller cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.
ꢀWhen cleaning the heads, pinch rollers, etc., unplug the unit
which contains high voltages.
In order to ensure proper operation of the CD player, preventative
maintenance (cleaning of the laser pickup lens) should be
performed periodically. Lens cleaners are commercially available.
Contact your local CD software dealer for options.
ꢁ Cleaning the cabinet
Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap
solution, then with a dry cloth.

every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial
tape head demagnetizer. Read the demagnetizer's instructions
carefully before use.
