The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 5A fuse. Should the fuse need to be 
replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked   or 

ASA

 and of the same rating as above, which is also indicated on the pin 

face of the plug, must be used.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted. 
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut off the mains plug and fit an 
appropriate type.
DANGER: The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and disposed  

of in a safe manner.
Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet, as a serious
electric shock may occur.

To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue : Neutral 

Brown : Live

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in 
your plug, proceed as follows;

•  The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or coloured black.
•  The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red.

Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug.
Before replacing the plug cover make sure that:

•  If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug.
•  The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead, and not simply over the lead wires.

IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Copy Protection

This player supports Macrovision copy protection. On DVDs 

that include a copy protection code, if the contents of the 

DVD are copied using a VCR, the copy protection code 

prevents the videotape copy from playing normally.

U.S.Patent Nos. 4,631,603; 4,819,098; 4,907,093; 

5,315,448; and 6,516,132

This product incorporates copyright protection technol-

ogy that is protected by U.S. patents and other intel-

lectual property rights. Use of this copyright protection 

technology must be authorised by Macrovision, and is 

intended for home and other limited viewing uses only 

unless otherwise authorised by Macrovision. Reverse 

engineering or disassembly is prohibited.

VCR or other recording device, the copy protection will 

activate and the protected material will not be recorded 

correctly. In addition, attempting to display copy protected 

material on a monitor connected via a VCR, whether for 

the purpose of viewing or not, will cause an inferior quality 

picture to be displayed. This is not a fault of the equipment. 

Please view copy protected material by connecting the 

product directly to the monitor.

The player is a precision device that is constructed using 

extremely accurate technology.

Soiling or friction affecting the pickup lens or disc drive can 

impair the image quality. At the worst, neither video nor 

audio will be played back. Contact your authorised SHARP 

supplier for details.

Do not attempt to clean the pickup lens yourself.

• Do not cover or place the player in enclosed spaces to 

prevent excessive temperature build-up.

sources.

• Keep the player away from strong magnetic objects.

• Do not place any object containing water or other liquids

cabinet, unplug the player immediately and contact the 

retailer or service centre approved by SHARP immedi-

ately.

• Do not remove the player cabinet. Touching parts inside 

the cabinet could result in electric shock and/ or dam-

age to the player. For service and adjustment inside the 

cabinet, call a qualified dealer or service centre approved 

by SHARP.

When the player is not being used, switch the player to 

the Standby mode.

could enter the player and cause damage, fire, or electri-

cal shock.

tion of the player or the TV. To watch a TV broadcast, turn
