E-13
Many potential problems can be resolved by the owner without
calling a service technician.
If something is wrong with this product, check the following before
calling your authorised SHARP dealer or service centre.
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an
extremely humid environment may cause condensation
inside the cabinet (CD pickup, etc.) or on the transmitter 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.
When this product is subjected to strong external
interference (mechanical shock, excessive static
electricity, abnormal supply voltage due to lightning, etc.)
or if it is operated incorrectly, it may malfunction.
If such a problem occurs, do the following:
1 Set the unit to the stand-by mode and turn the power on
again.
2 If the unit is not restored in the previous operation,
unplug and plug in the unit again, and then turn the
power on.
Note:
If neither operation above restores the unit, clear all the
memory by resetting it.
