General
Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well
ventilated area and ensure that there is at least 10 cm of
free space along the sides, top and back of the equip-
ment.
Do not use oil, solvents, petrol, paint thinners or insec-
ticides on the unit.
Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher
than 60°C (140°F) or to extreme low temperatures.
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.
Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it
from the AC socket, since pulling the lead can damage
internal wires.
Remove the AC power plug from the wall socket before
cleaning the heads, pinch rollers, etc.
This unit contains dangerous voltages.
Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result in elec-
tric shock. Refer internal service to your local SHARP ser-
vice facility.
Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration,
and do not place anything on the top of the unit.
If the unit does not work properly whilst in use, set the
ON/STAND-BY switch to STAND-BY, then disconnect the
AC power lead from the AC socket. Plug the AC power
lead back in, and then set the ON/STAND-BY switch to
ON.
If a lightning storm is taking place near you, it is suggested
that you disconnect the AC power lead from the AC socket
for safety.
Warning:
The voltage used must be the same as that specified on
this unit. Using this product with a higher voltage 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.
Volume control
The sound level at a given volume setting depends on a
combination of speaker efficiency, location and various other
factors.
It is advisable to avoid exposure to high volume levels, which
occur whilst turning the unit on with the volume control set-
ting up high, or whilst continually listening at high volumes.
n
Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an
extremely humid environment may cause condensation in-
side the cabinet
(CD
pickup, tape heads, etc.) or on the
transmitter
LED 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)
or wipe off any condensation on the transmitter LED with a
soft cloth before operating the unit.
Care of compact discs
Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however
tracking 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.
Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the
non-label side. Signals are read from the non-label side.
Do not mark this surface.
Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and ex-
cessive moisture.
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 centre, along the
radius.
Cassette tape
For playback, use normal or low-noise tape for the best
sound. (Metal or
tape is not recommended.)
For recording, use only normal tape.
Do not use C-120 tapes, tapes with large diameter
reels,
or poor-quality tapes, as they may cause malfunctions.
Before loading a tape into the cassette compartment,
tighten the slack with a pen or pencil.
Cassettes have removable tabs which prevent accidental
recording or erasing from taking place. Removing the tab
will protect the corresponding side from being erased.
Cover the tab holes with adhesive tape to erase or record
again.
