Welcome to the SHARP Family. We are pleased that you are now the owner of a SHARP Color Television
– built for outstanding quality, reliability and performance.
Every SHARP Color Television set is tuned and adjusted for proper color and sound, and has passed through the most stringent quality control tests at the factory.We have prepared this OPERATION MANUAL so that you may adjust the picture and color to your personal viewing preference.
We sincerely hope that you receive the greatest satisfaction and enjoyment from your new SHARP Color Television set for years to come.
Please read these instructions carefully, and keep them handy for your future reference.
IMPORTANT
To aid reporting in case of loss or theft, please record the TV’s model and serial numbers in the space provided.The numbers are located at the rear of the TV.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
There are two important reasons for prompt warranty registration of your new SHARP television set. Use the REGISTRATION CARD packed in with the set.
FIRST – WARRANTY
This is to assure that you will immediately receive the full consumer benefit of the parts, service and labor warranty applicable to your purchase.
SECOND – CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY ACT
To assure that you will promptly receive any safety notification on inspection, modification or recall that SHARP may be required to give under the 1972 Consumer Product Safety Act. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE IMPORTANT “LIMITED WARRANTY” CLAUSE ON THE LAST PAGE.
WHAT IS ENERGY STAR ®
TVs and VCRs use energy both when they are on and when they are off. Americans spend more than $1 billion a year on energy consumed by TVs and VCRs when they are not in use. The new ENERGY STAR ® models will reduce that energy “leakage” by up to 75 percent. Ultimately, this will mean more than $500 million a year in energy savings for consumers.
The energy savings will help reduce the burning of fossil fuels and the related carbon dioxide pollution that contributes to global warming. If every American family replaced their TVs and VCRs with ENERGY STAR ® models, it would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by five million tons every year — equivalent to eliminating the pollution from more than one million cars.
By using ENERGY STAR ® products, you will save money on your electric bills and use less energy. That makes good economic sense and it’s good for our environment.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT WARNING: EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO WET LOCATIONS.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF |
ELECTRIC SHOCK, |
DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). |
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. |
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE |
PERSONNEL. |
The lightning flash with arrowhead within a triangle is intended to tell the user that parts inside the product are a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within a triangle is intended to tell the user that important operating and servicing instructions are in the papers with the appliance.
“Note to CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.”

CABLE TV (CATV) CONNECTION
•A 75 ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75 ohm coaxial cable to the set, screw the 75 ohm cable to the COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR.
•Some cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels”. Since the signals of these premium pay channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by the cable TV company. This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled channels. (Set your TV on channel 3 or 4. Typically one of these channels is used. If this is unknown, consult your cable TV company.) For more specific instructions on installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the converter/descrambler provided by your cable TV company is explained below.
Please note: RF switch equipped with position A/B (not provided) is required.
“A” position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view all unscrambled channels using the TV’s channel keys.
“B” position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/
descrambler using the converter’s channel keys.

Closed Caption
•How to set CLOSED CAPTION
•Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder. “Closed Caption” is a system which allows conversations, narration, and sound effects in TV programs and home videos to appear as captions on the TV screen (see the illustration).
•Not all the programs and videos will offer closed captioning. Please look for the “ 
” symbol to ensure that captions will be shown.
•Closed Caption broadcast can be viewed in two modes: CAPTION and TEXT. For each mode, two channels are available, CH1 and CH2:
The CAPTION mode shows subscripts of dialogs and commentaries of TV dramas and news programs while allowing clear view of the picture.
The TEXT mode displays over the picture other various information (such as TV program schedule, weather forecast, etc.) that is independent of the TV programs.

•If a broadcast contains CLOSED CAPTION and the MUTE button is pressed, the set enters CAPTION mode automatically. Pressing MUTE again will return the set to its previous condition.
•Closed Caption may malfunction (white blocks, strange characters, etc.) if signal conditions are poor or if there are problems at the broadcast source. This does not necessarily indicate a problem with your TV.
•If any button is pressed to call up the ON SCREEN DISPLAY while viewing a CLOSED CAPTION broadcast, the closed captions will disappear momentarily.
•If no TEXT broadcast is being received while viewing in the TEXT mode, the screen may become
dark and blank for some programs. Should this occur, switch the Closed Caption mode to “OFF”.

•This function allows you to restrict TV programs and also allows you to control TV usage based on FCC data. This function is to prevent your children from watching violence or sexual scenes that may be harmful.
•Restriction of TV programs includes two characters that contain information about the program’s MPAA rating and the TV Parental Guidelines. MPAA is restricted by age. TV Parental Guidelines are restricted by age and contents.
•Since a TV program may use either the MPAA rating or the TV Guidelines you should adjust both for complete control.
