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

"
Care of DVD/CD discs
DVD/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/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/CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or water on the DVD/
CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a DVD/CD is dirty or does not play properly,
clean it with a soft, dry cloth, wiping straight out from the center, along the radius.
!
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 20" (50 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.
!
Do not place anything on top of the unit.
!
Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures higher than 140°F (60°C) or to
extremely low temperatures.
!
If the unit does not work properly, unplug and plug it in again. Then turn on the unit.
!
In case of an electrical storm, unplug the unit for safe-
ty.
4" (10 cm)
4" (10 cm)
4" (10 cm)
20" (50 cm)
!
Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it
from the AC outlet, as pulling the cord can damage in-
ternal wires.
!
Do not remove the outer cover, as this may result
in electric shock. Refer internal service to your lo-
cal SHARP service facility.

Connecting to a TV with component video
input jacks
If the connected TV supports progressive scanning, set the video mode selector
switch to PROGRESSIVE to enjoy high-density images. If not, switch back to INTER-
LACE.
Notes:

The conventional TV system displays 30 frames of still images per second to com-
plete sequential movement (interlaced scanning). Whereas, progressive scanning
displays one frame every 1/60th of a second (60 frames per second) to ensure less
flickers and high-density images.

Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an extremely humid environ-
ment may cause condensation inside the cabinet (laser pickup, etc.) or on the trans-
mitter on the remote control.
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction. If this happens, leave the power on
with no disc in the unit until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour). Wipe off any
condensation on the transmitter with a soft cloth before operating the unit.
