z Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration.
z Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic fields,
excessive dust, humidity and electronic/electrical equipment
(home computers, facsimiles, etc.) which generates electrical
noise.
z Do not place anything on top of the unit.
z Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than
60°C (140°F) or to extremely low temperatures.
z If your system does not work properly, disconnect the AC power
lead from the wall socket. Plug the AC power lead back in, and
then turn on your system.
z In case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for safety.
z Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it from the
wall socket, as pulling the lead can damage internal wires.
z Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result in electric
shock. Refer internal service to your local SHARP service
facility.
z The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation
openings with items, such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains,
etc.
z No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be
placed on the apparatus.

z CD players use a laser pickup which can damage the eyes if
viewed directly. Do not look at the pickup, and do not touch
the pickup directly.
„ 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
exposure to high volume levels, which occurs whilst turning the unit
on with the volume control setting up high, or whilst continually lis-
tening at high volumes.
„ Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or
operation in an extremely humid environ-
ment may cause condensation inside the
cabinet (CD pickup, etc.) or on the transmit-
ter on the remote control.
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunc-
tion. If this happens, leave the power on with
no disc in the unit until normal playback is
possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any con-
densation on the transmitter with a soft cloth
before operating the unit.
