care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces
may cause the product and cart combination to over-
turn.
10
Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for venti-
lation and to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it
from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or cov-
ered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on

11
Power Sources - This product should be operated only from the type
of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of
the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or
local power company. For products intended to operate from battery
power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
12
Grounding or Polarization - This product may be equipped with a
polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider
than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the
outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact
your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
Alternate Warnings - This product is equipped with a three-wire

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
15
Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable system
is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an an-
tenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode.
16
Lightning - For added protection for this product during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable
system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and
power-line surges.
17
Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits,
or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an
outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from
touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be
fatal.
18
Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
19
Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into this
product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points
or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill
liquid of any kind on the product.
20
Servicing - Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening
or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
21
Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this product from the wall outlet
and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
a)When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged,
b)If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,
c)If the product has been exposed to rain or water,
d)If the product does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the op-
erating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may
result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the product to its normal operation,
e)If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance - this
indicates a need for service.
22
Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure
the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.
23
Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this prod-
uct, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine
that the product is in proper operating condition.
24
Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The product should be mounted to a wall
or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
25
Heat - The product should be situated away from heat sources such
as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including ampli-
fiers) that produce heat.

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.
! Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well-ventilated area and that
there is at least 4" (10 cm) of free space along the sides and back. There must also
be a minimum of 6" (15 cm) of free space on the top of the unit.
! Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibra-
tion.
! Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong mag-
netic fields, excessive dust, humidity and electronic/
electrical equipment (home computers, facsimiles,
etc.) which generate electrical noise.

" Magnetically shielded speakers
The front, surround and center speakers may be placed beside or near the TV as
they are magnetically shielded. However, discoloration may occur depending on the
TV type.
If color variation occurs...
Turn off the TV (with the power switch).
After 15 - 30 minutes, turn the TV on again.
If the color variation is still present...
Move the speakers further away from the TV.
Refer to the manual of the TV for details.
Note:
The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded.
" Placing the speaker system
The best surround effect will be achieved by placing each speaker at the same
distance from the listening position.
It is recommended to arrange the speakers as shown below.
Notes:
! The default distance is set to 6 feet (2 m). If speakers cannot be placed at equal
distances, refer to "Speaker delay setting" (see page 44).
! 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.
! You can place the subwoofer anywhere you like. As it vibrates while reproducing
bass, place it on a stable, sturdy surface.

Maintenance
" Cleaning the cabinet
" Cleaning the laser pickup lens
In order to ensure proper operation of the DVD player, preventative maintenance
(cleaning of the laser pickup lens) should be performed periodically. Lens cleaners
are commercially available. Contact your local DVD software dealer for options.
Notes:
! Close the disc compartment when it is not used.
! Be careful not to damage the optical pickup or to touch it by hand.
" Care of discs
Discs are fairly resistant to damage, however mistracking can occur due to an accu-
mulation of dirt on the disc surface. Follow the guidelines below for maximum enjoy-
ment from your disc 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 discs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on the discs can
cause noise or mistracking. If a disc is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with
a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the center, along the radius.
Optional accessories
Use only the specified optional accessories to operate this product properly.
For speaker installation, read instructions supplied with stands or brackets.
The appearance of optional accessories may differ from the illustrations above.
Specifications
