There must also be a minimum of 8" (20cm) of free space on the top of the unit. q Do not use oil, solvents, gasoline, paint thinners or insecticides on the unit. q Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 140°F (60°C) or to extreme low temperatures. q Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic fields, excessive dust, humidity and electronic/electrical equipment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.) which generate electrical noise. q Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it from the AC outlet, since pulling the cord can damage internal wires. q Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result in electric shock. Refer internal service to your local SHARP service facility. q Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration, and do not place anything on the top of the unit. q If the unit malfunctions while in use, press the POWER button to enter the stand-by mode, then disconnect the AC power cord from the AC outlet. Plug the AC power cord back in, and then press the POWER button to turn the power on. q If an electrical storm is taking place near you, it is suggested 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. s 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. s Condensation Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (CD pickup, MD pickup, etc.) or on the transmitter LED on the remote control. Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction. If this happens, leave the power on with no disc 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. Warning: CD players use a laser pickup which can damage the eyes if viewed directly. Do not look at the pickup, and do not touch the pickup directly. 4 NAMES OF CONTROLS AND INDICATORS s Front panel 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
