18) Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this product from the wall  
outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under  
the following conditions :  
23) Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable system  
is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is  
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges  
and built-up static charges. Article810 of the National Electrical Code,  
ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regards to proper grounding  
of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to  
an antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and  
requirements for the grounding electrode.  
a) When the AC cord or plug is damaged,  
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the  
product,  
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,  
d) If the product does not operate normally by following  
the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls  
that are covered by the operating instructions as an  
improper adjustment of other controls may result in  
damage and will often require extensive work by a  
qualified technician to restore the product to its normal  
operation,

Do not place active subwoofer system on  
the same surface as main unit to prevent  
sound interruption during playback.  
Do not remove the outer cover, as this  
may result in electric shock. Refer  
internal service to your local SHARP  
service facility.  
Floor  
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  
equipment  
facsimiles,  
and  
(home  
etc.) which  
electronic/electrical  
computers,  
generate  
Volume control  
electrical noise.  
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. Excessive sound pressure from earphones  
and headphones can cause hearing loss.

Troubleshooting chart  
CD-G14000  
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.

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.

If trouble occurs  
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.  
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.  
Care of compact discs  
If such a problem occurs, do the following:  
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.  
1
2
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.  
Note:  
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.  
If neither operation above restores the unit, clear all the memory by  
resetting it.  
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.

Maintenance  
CD-G14000  
Cleaning the tape-handling parts  
Cleaning the CD pickup lens  
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.  
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.  
Cleaning the cabinet  
Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap  
solution, then with a dry cloth.
