Warning:

The voltage used must be the same as that specified by this unit. Using this product with a higher voltage other than that specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or other types of accident, causing damage. SHARP will not be held responsible for any damage resulting from the use of this unit with a voltage other than that 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, which occurs while turning the unit on with the volume control setting up high, or while continually listening at high volumes.

■ Care of DVD/SACD/CD discs

DVD/SACD/CD 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 DVD/SACD/CD collection and player.

  • 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 DVD/SACD/CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on the DVD/SACD/CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a DVD/SACD/CD is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the center, along the radius.

natural_image Line drawing of a cozy living room with TV, wall-mounted screens, and a person sitting on a couch (no text or symbols)

Notes:

  • Place the TV halfway between the front speakers.
  • It is recommended that the center speaker be placed near the television.
  • Place the surround speakers at a position just above the height of your ears.
  • The subwoofer vibrates while reproducing bass. Place it on a stable, sturdy surface.
    ● The subwoofer reproduces only lower frequency bass tones.
  • Since the human ear cannot identify the direction of low bass tones, the subwoofer can usually be placed freely in the room for the best sound result.
  • Bass sound is easily affected by the position of the subwoofer. If the bass tones in the listening position seem much too low or too high, try changing your listening position. If the bass tone level changes when you change the listening position, try relocating the subwoofer.
