1 Heed Warnings - All warnings on the appliance and in the operat-
ing instructions should be adhered to.
2 Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be
followed.
3 Water and Moisture - The appliance should not be used near
water - for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink,
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.
4 Carts and Stands - The appliance should be used only with a
cart or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer.
- An appliance and cart combination should be
moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces
may cause the appliance and cart combination to
overturn.
5 Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to
a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
6 Ventilation - The appliance should be situated so that its location
or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For ex-
ample, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug,
or similar surface that may block the ventilation openings; or,
placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet
that may impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings.
7 Heat - The appliance should be situated away from heat sources
such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (in-
cluding amplifiers) that produce heat.
8 Power Sources - The appliance should be connected to a power
supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or
as marked on the appliance.
9 Power-Cord Protection - Power-supply cords should be routed
so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords
at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the appliance.
10 Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth
for cleaning.
11 Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from
power lines.
12 Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected
to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as
to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up
static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with respect to
proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding
of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode.
13 Nonuse Periods - The power cord of the appliance should be
unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of
time.
14 Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects
do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through
openings.
15 Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced
by qualified service personnel when:
A The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
B Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance;
or
C The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a
marked change in performance; or
E The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
16 Servicing - The user should not attempt to service the appliance
beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other ser-
vicing should be referred to qualified service personnel.
17 Grounding or Polarization - Precautions should be taken so that
the grounding or polarization means of an appliance is not
defeated.

PRECAUTIONS
- General
-Do not use oil, solvents, gasoline, paint thinners or insec-
ticides on the unit.
-Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher
than 140 F (60 C) or to extreme low temperatures.
-Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic
fields, excessive dust, humidity and electronic/electrical
equipment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.) which
generates electrical noise.
-Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it
from the AC outlet, as pulling the cord can damage internal
wires.
-When cleaning the heads, pinch rollers, etc, remove the
AC power plug from the AC outlet as the unit contains
high voltages.
Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result in
electric shock. Refer internal service to your local SHARP
service facility.
-Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration,
and do not place anything on the top of the unit.
-If the unit does not work properly while in use, disconnect
the AC power cord from the AC outlet. Plug the AC power
cord back in, and then press the ON/STAND-BY button to
turn the power on.
-If an electrical storm is taking place near you, it is sug-
gested that you disconnect the AC power cord from the
AC outlet for safety.
Warning:
The voltage used must be the same as that specified on this
unit. Using this product with a higher voltage other than 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.
- Volume control
The sound level at a given volume setting depends on a
combination of speaker efficiency, location and various other
factors.
It is advisable to avoid exposure to high volume levels, which
occur while turning the unit on with the volume control setting
up high, or while continually listening at high volumes.
- Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an ex-
tremely humid environment may cause condensation inside
the cabinet (CD pickup, tape heads, etc.) or on the transmit-
ter LED 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 LED 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 collection and player.
-Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the
non-label side. Signals are read from the non-label side.
Do not mark this surface.
-Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and ex-
cessive 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.
NO

Correct
- Cassette tape
-For playback, use normal or low-noise tape for the best
sound. (Metal or CrO
2 tape is not recommended.)
For recording, use only normal tape.
-Do not use C-120 tapes, tapes with large diameter reels,
or poor-quality tapes, as they may cause malfunctions.
-Before loading a tape into the cassette compartment,
tighten the slack with a pen or pencil.
-Cassettes have removable tabs which prevent accidental
recording or erasing from taking place. Removing the tab
will protect the corresponding side from being erased.
Cover the tab holes with adhesive tape to erase or record
again.
