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.  
" 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)  
4" (10 cm)  
4" (10 cm)  
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.  
" Do not place anything on top of the unit.  
" 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.  
! Volume control  
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.  
" In case of an electrical storm, unplug the  
unit for safety.

! If trouble occurs  
! Condensation  
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.  
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.  
If such a problem occurs, do the following:

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.  
! Care of compact discs  
Note:  
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.  
If neither operation above restores the unit, clear all the memory by  
resetting it.  
" 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.

Maintenance  
! Cleaning the cabinet  
! Cleaning the tape-handling parts  
Periodically wipe the cabinet with a soft cloth and a diluted soap  
solution, then with a dry cloth.  
" 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.  
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 malfunc-  
tions.

! 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.

" 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.
