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  
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.  
Keep the unit away from direct sunlight,  
strong magnetic fields, excessive dust,  
humidity and electronic/electrical equip-  
ment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.)  
which generate electrical noise.  
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 ex-  
posure to high volume levels, which occurs while turning the unit on  
with the volume control setting up high, or while continually listening  
at high volumes.  
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 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  
unit for safety.

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.

CD-SW300  
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 (me-  
chanical shock, excessive static electricity, abnormal supply voltage  
due to lightning, etc.) or if it is operated incorrectly, it may malfunc-  
tion.  
If such a problem occurs, do the following:  
Care of compact discs

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.  
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.  
Note:  
If neither operation above restores the unit, clear all the memory by  
resetting it.  
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.  
Clearing all the memory (reset)  
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.

Maintenance  
Specifications  
CD-SW300  
As part of our policy of continuous improvement, SHARP reserves  
the right to make design and specification changes for product im-  
provement without prior notice. The performance specification fig-  
ures indicated are nominal values of production units. There may be  
some deviations from these values in individual units.  
Cleaning the tape-handling parts  
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.

head demagnetizer. Read the demagnetizer's instructions care-  
fully before use.
