●

●

●

●

●

●

●

Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration.

Place the speakers at least 30 cm (12") away from any

CRT TV to avoid colour variations across the TV screen. If the variations persist, move the speakers further away from the TV. LCD TV is not prone to such variation.

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.

Do not place anything on top of the unit.

Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 60˚C (140˚F) or to extremely low temperatures.

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.

In case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for safety.

Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it from the wall socket, as pulling the lead can damage internal wires.

●

●

●

●

●

●

The AC power plug is used as a disconnect device and shall always remain readily operable.

Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result in electric shock. Refer internal service to your local

SHARP service facility.

The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.

No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus.

Attention should be drawn to the environmental aspects of battery disposal.

This unit should only be used within the range of 5˚C -

35˚C (41˚F - 95˚F).

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 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 speaker efficiency, location, and various other factors. It is advisable to avoid exposure to high volume levels. Do not turn the volume on to full at switch on. Listen to music at moderate levels. Excessive sound pressure from earphones and headphones can cause hearing loss.

CD

USB

This system can play back a standard CD, CD-R/RW in the CD format and CD-R/RW with MP3 or WMA files, but cannot record on them. Some audio CD-R and CD-RW discs may not be playable due to the state of the disc or the device that was used for recording.

MP3:

MP3 is a form of compression. It is an acronym which stands for MPEG Audio Layer 3. MP3 is a type of audio code which is processed by significant compression from the original audio source with very little loss in sound quality.

● This system supports MPEG 1 Layer 3 and VBR files.

● During VBR file playback, time counter in the display may differ from its actual playback time.

● Bitrate which is supported by MP3 is 32 ~ 320 kbps.

WMA:

WMA files are Advanced System Format files that include audio files which are compressed with Windows Media

Audio codec. WMA is developed by Microsoft as an audio format file for Windows Media Player.

● “MP3” and “WMA” indicator will light up after the unit reads information on an MP3 or WMA disc.

● Bitrate which is supported by WMA is 64 ~ 160 kbps.
