Troubleshooting chart
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 authorized SHARP dealer or service center.
■ General
■ Remote control
■ iPod and iPhone
■ Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an
extremely humid environment may cause condensation inside

Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction. If this happens,
leave the power on until normal playback is possible (about 1
hour) before operating the unit.

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, and then turn the power on.
3
Remove and insert back the remote control battery holder.
