" Magnetically shielded speakers  
! The default distance is set to 6 feet (2 m). If speakers cannot be placed at equal  
distances, refer to "Speaker delay setting" (see page 44).  
The front, surround and center speakers may be placed beside or near the TV as  
they are magnetically shielded. However, discoloration may occur depending on the  
TV type.  
! Place the TV halfway between the front speakers.  
! It is recommended that the center speaker be placed near the television.  
! Place the surround speakers at a position just above the height of your ears.  
! You can place the subwoofer anywhere you like. As it vibrates while reproducing  
bass, place it on a stable, sturdy surface.  
If color variation occurs...  
Turn off the TV (with the power switch).  
After 15 - 30 minutes, turn the TV on again.  
If the color variation is still present...  
Move the speakers further away from the TV.  
Refer to the manual of the TV for details.

Specifications  
As part of our policy of continuous improvement, SHARP reserves the right to make  
design and specification changes for product improvement without prior notice. The  
performance specification figures indicated are nominal values of production units.  
There may be some deviations from these values in individual units.  
Notes:  
! Close the disc compartment when it is not used.  
! Be careful not to damage the optical pickup or to touch it by hand.  
" Main unit (DVD player unit)  
" Care of discs  
Discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking can occur due to an accu-  
mulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow the guidelines below for maximum enjoy-  
ment from your disc collection and player.  
Dimensions  
including the stand  
Width: 16-15/16" (430 mm)  
Height: *-**" (228 mm)  
Depth: *-**" (150 mm)  
! 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 discs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on the discs can  
cause noise or mistracking. If a disc is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with  
a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the center, along the radius.
