Precautions  
CD-ES777  
General  
Hold the AC power plug by the head when  
removing it from the AC outlet, as pulling  
the cord can damage internal wires.  
Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well-ventilated  
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)  
Do not remove the outer cover, as this  
may result in electric shock. Refer in-  
ternal service to your local SHARP ser-  
vice facility.  
4" (10 cm)  
Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from  
vibration.  
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  
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  
Do not place anything on top of the unit.  
The sound level at a given volume setting depends on speaker  
efficiency, 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  
listening at high volumes.  
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.

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.

Care of compact discs  
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.  
Playback head  
Capstan  
Pinch roller  
Erase head  
Recording/Playback head  
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.  
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.  
After long use, the deck's heads and capstans may become  
magnetized, causing poor sound. Demagnetize these parts once  
every 30 hours of playing/recording time by using a commercial  
tape head demagnetizer. Read the demagnetizer's instructions  
carefully before use.  
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  
performed periodically. Lens cleaners are commercially available.  
Contact your local CD software dealer for options.

YES  
Correct  
Cleaning the cabinet  
Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap  
solution, then with a dry cloth.  
Caution:  
Do not use chemicals for cleaning (gasoline, paint thinner, etc.). It  
may damage the cabinet finish.  
Do not apply oil to the inside of the unit. It may cause malfunctions.
