Precautions  
z Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of bat-  
tery disposal.  
z This unit should only be used within the range of 5°C - 35°C  
(41°F - 95°F).  
General  
z Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well-venti-  
lated area and that there is at least 10 cm (4") of free space along  
the sides and back. There must also be a minimum of 30 cm  
(12") of free space on the top of the unit.  
Warnings:  
z 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.

30 cm (12")  
ino  
z 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.  
z This product is equipped with a cooling fan inside, which begins  
to run at a specified volume level for better heat radiation.  
10 cm (4")  
-
z Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration.  
z 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.  
ram

u
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 whilst turning the unit  
on with the volume control setting up high, or whilst continually lis-  
tening at high volumes.  
l
z Do not place anything on top of the unit.  
eac  
z Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than  
60°C (140°F) or to extremely low temperatures.  
z If your system does not work properly, disconnect the AC power  
lead from the wall socket. Plug the AC power lead back in, and  
then turn on your system.  
r
-
e
G
z In case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for safety.  
z Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it from the  
wall socket, as pulling the lead can damage internal wires.  
z Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result in electric  
shock. Refer internal service to your local SHARP service  
facility.  
z The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation  
openings with items, such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains,  
etc.  
Condensation  
Sudden temperature changes, storage or  
operation in an extremely humid environ-  
ment may cause condensation inside the  
cabinet (CD pickup, etc.) or on the transmit-  
ter on the remote control.  
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunc-  
tion. If this happens, leave the power on with  
no disc in the unit until normal playback is  
possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any con-  
densation on the transmitter with a soft cloth  
before operating the unit.  
z No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be  
placed on the apparatus.

Notes:  
Aerial connection  
z When an external FM aerial is used, disconnect the supplied FM  
aerial wire from the FM 75 OHMS socket.  
z When using an external AM aerial, be sure to keep the wire of the  
AM loop aerial connected.  
Supplied FM aerial:  
Connect the FM aerial wire to the FM 75  
OHMS socket and position the FM aerial  
wire in the direction where the strongest  
signal can be received.  
Speaker connection  
Connect the wire with the white line to the minus (-) terminal and the  
black wire to the plus (+) terminal.  
Supplied AM loop aerial:  
Connect the AM loop aerial wire to the AM  
and GND terminals. Position the AM loop  
aerial for optimum reception. Place the  
AM loop aerial on a shelf, etc., or attach it  
to a stand or a wall with screws (not sup-  
plied).  
e
Caution:  
z Connect the speaker wires to the speakers first, then to the  
unit.  
z Use speakers with an impedance of 6 ohms or more, as lower  
impedance speakers can damage the unit.  
z Do not mistake the right and the left channels. The right speaker  
is the one on the right side when you face the unit.  
z Do not let the bare speaker wires touch each other.  
Notes:  
z Placing the aerial on the unit or near the AC power lead may cause  
noise pickup. Place the aerial away from the unit for better reception.  
z When static is still heard even after adjusting the position of the AM  
loop aerial, try reversing the wire connections.

Connecting the AC power lead  
After checking all the connections have been made correctly,  
connect the AC power lead to the AC power input socket, then  
into the wall socket.  
Check the setting of the AC voltage selector located on the rear  
panel before plugging the unit into a wall socket. If necessary, adjust  
the selector to correspond to the AC power voltage used in your  
area.  
Turn the selector with a screwdriver until the appropriate volt-  
age number appears in the window (110 V, 127 V, 220 V or 230 V  
- 240 V AC).

To check the tuning span currently selected:  
Setting the AM/FM interval

2
Press the ON/STAND-BY button to turn the power on.  
The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has established  
that member countries should maintain either a 10 kHz or 9 kHz  
interval between broadcasting frequencies of AM stations and 100  
kHz or 50 kHz for FM stations. The illustration shows the 50/9 kHz  
zones (regions 1 and 3), and the 100/10 kHz zone (region 2).  
Press the FUNCTION button until "AM" appears on the display.  
z If "AM 531 kHz" is displayed, it means that AM stations have  
been adjusted for a 9 kHz span and FM stations for 50 kHz  
span. If "AM 530 kHz" is displayed, AM stations have been ad-  
justed for a 10 kHz span and FM stations for 100 kHz span.  
This product is not equipped with a span selector. However, it will be  
adjusted to a 9 kHz AM (50 kHz FM) interval when shipped from the  
factory.  
Before using the unit, be sure to set it to the AM/FM tuning interval  
(span) used in your area.  
To change from a 9 kHz AM (50 kHz FM) interval to a 10 kHz AM  
(100 kHz FM) interval:  
e
1 Press the ON/STAND-BY button to enter the stand-by mode.  
2 Hold down the  
button and the MEMORY/SET button for at  
least 4 seconds. Release the buttons when "AM SP 10 kHz" and  
"FM SP 100 kHz" are displayed alternately.  
z The clock display will reappear.

button and the MEMORY/SET button for at  
least 4 seconds. Release the buttons when "AM SP 9 kHz" and  
"FM SP 50 kHz" are displayed alternately.  
z The clock display will reappear.  
Caution:  
z When the unit is left for a few hours after the span has been  
switched and the AC power lead disconnected, the AM span will  
be automatically returned to 9 kHz (FM span to 50 kHz). If this  
happens, set the span again.  
z When the span is switched, all the memorised stations will be  
cancelled.
