Important Information

There are two important reasons for prompt warranty registration of your new SHARP television set,
using 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 the y 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” b y 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 ev ery American family replaced their TVs and VCRs with ENERGY
STAR® models, it would reduce carbon dioxide emissions b y five million tons e very year — equiv alent to
eliminating the pollution from more than one million cars.

By using ENERGY ST AR® products, you will save mone y on your electric bills and use less energy. That
makes good economic sense and its good for our environment.

Before Operating Your Television

Location

• For normal operation, your TV should be located in an area of the room where cool adequate ventilation
is provided. Do not place the back of the television set in a place where free airflow will be restricted.

• Any magnetic force may disturb the color picture. Make sure that magnets, electric clocks, toys using
magnets or any other magnetic substance, such as iron are kept well away from this TV set.

Power

Your TV operates on 120 Volts, 60 Hertz (normal household current) and has a polarized plug. If you
are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. Should it fail to fit, contact an
electrician. Do not defeat the safety feature of the polarized plug.

Note:

• If the set will not be used for a long period, such as during a vacation, unplug the set from the wall
outlet to economize power. (If the TV set is plugged in, a slight current still flows, even with the
POWER BUTTON in the OFF position.)

• Lines and other noise may appear in TV broadcast images when an FM tuner or radio is located near
the TV and both radio and TV broadcasts are being received. Should such noise appear, turn off
either the TV or the radio.

• If you are listening to an AM broadcast, turn the TV off. AM broadcast signals may not be received
due to the interference of the TV.

L Before using the television, prepare the Remote Control

To use the remote control, insert batteries first.

Cover

• With your thumb nail, pull up the slit as indicated by the arrow to remove the back cover. Insert two
batteries (size “AA”). Be sure to match the battery e/d terminals with the e/d marks inside the
compartment.

Antenna Connections

Antennas

• The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more impor tant than those for
black & white television reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly
recommended.

The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various
antenna systems:

1. A 75 ohm system is generally a round cable

F-type connector
with F-type connector that can easily be
attached to a terminal without tools (not
supplied).

75-ohm coaxial cable (round)

2. A 300 ohm system is a flat “twin-lead” cable
that can be attached to a 75 ohm terminal
through a 300-75 ohm ADAPTOR (not
supplied).

300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)

OUTDOOR ANTENNA CONNECTION

• Use one of the following two diagrams if you connect an outdoor antenna.
A: Using a VHF/UHF combination outdoor antenna.
B: Using separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antenna.

• Connect an outdoor antenna cable lead-in to the COAXIAL CABLE CONNECT OR on the rear of the
TV set.

Antenna Connections (Continued)

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 con verter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled
channels. (Place y our 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
