Precautions
General
z Hold the AC power plug by the head when
removing it from the AC outlet, as pulling
the cord can damage internal wires.
z Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well-venti-
lated area and ensure that there is at least 4" (10 cm) of free
space along the sides, top and back of the equipment.
4" (10 cm) 4" (10 cm)
4" (10 cm)
z Do not remove the outer cover, as this
may result in electric shock. Refer inter-
nal service to your local SHARP service
facility.
4" (10 cm)
z Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from
vibration.
z 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 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 acci-
dent 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.
z 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
z Do not place anything on top of the unit.
The sound level at a given volume setting depends on speaker effi-
ciency, location and various other factors. It is advisable to avoid
exposure to high volume levels, which occurs while turning the unit
on with the volume control setting up high, or while continually lis-
tening at high volumes.
z Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than
140°F (60°C) or to extremely low temperatures.
z 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.
z In case of an electrical storm, unplug the
unit for safety.

If trouble occurs
Care of compact discs
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.
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.
If such a problem occurs, do the following:
z Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-label
side from which signals are read. Do not mark this surface.
z Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and excessive
moisture.

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.
z 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.
Note:
If neither operation above restores the unit, clear all the memory by
resetting it.

Maintenance
Caution:
This operation will erase all data stored in memory including clock,
timer settings, tuner preset, and CD program.
Cleaning the CD pickup lens
In order to ensure proper operation of the CD player, preventative
maintenance (cleaning of the laser pickup lens) should be per-
formed periodically. Lens cleaners are commercially available. Con-
tact your local CD software dealer for options.
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.
Cleaning the cabinet
Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap
solution, then with a dry cloth.
Caution:
z Do not use chemicals for cleaning (gasoline, paint thinner, etc.). It
may damage the cabinet finish.
z Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause malfunc-
tions.
