WHY PURCHASE ENERGY STAR® LABELED PRODUCTS?
! CD Playback
Many Electrical /Electronic Products use energy both when they are on
and when they are off. Americans spend more than $3 billion a year on
energy consumed by home electronic products when they are not in
use. The new ENERGY STAR® labeled models will reduce that en-
ergy “leakage” by up to 75 percent. Ultimately, this will mean more than
$1 billion a year in energy savings for consumers.

! Radio
Listening to the radio . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 21, 22
The energy savings will help reduce the burning of fossil fuels and the
related carbon dioxide pollution that contributes to global warming.
If every American family replaced their electronic equipment with
ENERGY STAR® labeled models, it would reduce air pollution equiva-
lent to eliminating more than two million cars.

By using ENERGY STAR® labeled products, you will save money on
your electric bills and use less energy.
That makes good economic sense and it’s good for our environment.

Precautions
! 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-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)
" 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)
" 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 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.
" 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 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.
" 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.

Maintenance
! Cleaning the tape-handling parts
! Condensation
" 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.
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely
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.

! 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 collec-
tion and player.

" 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 mag-
netized, 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 per-
formed periodically. Lens cleaners are commercially available. Con-
tact your local CD software dealer for options.

! 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.
