Precautions - Sharp GX-CD1200W Mode D'emploi

PRECAUTIONS

General
Please ensure that the equipment is positioned in a well
ventilated area and ensure that there is at least 10 cm (4")
of free space along the sides, top and back of the equip-
ment.
Do not use oil, solvents, petrol, paint thinners or insecticides
on the unit.
Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher
than 60°C (140°F) or to extreme low temperatures.
Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic
fields, excessive dust, humidity and electronic/electrical
equipment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.) which gener-
ates electrical noise.
Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it from
the AC socket, as pulling the lead can damage internal wires.
When cleaning the heads, pinch rollers, etc., remove the
AC power plug from the wall socket as the unit contains
high voltages.
Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result in electric
shock. Refer internal service to your local SHARP service
facility.
Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration, and
do not place anything on the top of the unit.
If the unit does not work properly whilst in use, set the FUNC-
TION switch to STAND-BY and then to ON again.
If an electrical storm is taking place near you, it is suggested
that you disconnect the AC power lead from the AC socket
for safety.
The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ven-
tilation openings with items, such as newspapers, table-
cloths, 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.
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 re-
sponsible 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 a com-
bination of speaker efficiency, location and various other fac-
tors.
It is advisable to avoid exposure to high volume levels, which
occur whilst turning the unit on with the volume control setting
up high, or whilst continually listening at high volumes.
Condensation
Sudden temperature changes and storage or operation in an
extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside
the cabinet (tape head, etc.).
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction.
If this happens, leave the power on with no cassette in the unit
until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour).
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.
Care of compact discs
Compact 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
CD collection and player.
Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the non-
label side. Signals are read from the non-label side. Do not
mark this surface.
Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and exces-
sive moisture.
Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or wa-
ter on the CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a CD is
dirty or does not play properly, clean it with a soft, dry cloth,
wiping straight out from the centre, along the radius.
Cassette tape
For playback, use normal or low-noise tape for the best
sound. (Metal or CrO tape is not recommended.)
2
For recording, use only normal tape.
Use the same tape formula for both TAPE 1 and TAPE 2.
Do not use C-120 tapes, tapes with large diameter reels, or
poor-quality tapes, as they may cause malfunctions.
Before loading a tape into the cassette compartment, tighten
the slack with a pen or pencil.
Cassettes have removable tabs which prevent accidental
recording or erasing from taking place. Removing the tab
will protect the corresponding side from being erased. Cover
the tab holes with adhesive tape to erase or record again.
TAPE 1: Playback or record.
TAPE 2: Playback only.
