Welcome to the SHARP Family. We are pleased that y ou are now the owner of a SHARP Color Tele vision – built for outstanding quality, reliability and performance.

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” 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 e very 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 STAR® products, you will save mone y on y our electric bills and use less energy. That makes good economic sense and it’s 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 bac k of the tele vision set in a place where free airflow will be restricted.

• Any magnetic force ma y 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 y ou 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.

Insert the batteries

• With your thumbnail, 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 ter minals with the e/d marks inside the compartment.

Antenna Connections

Antennas

• The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important 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:

Antenna Connections (Continued)

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).

2. A 300 ohm system is a flat “twin-lead” cable

75-ohm coaxial cable (round)

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.

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 pro vided to the subscriber by the cable TV company. This con verter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scramb led channels. (Set y our TV on channel 3 or 4. T ypically 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 scramb led channels via the converter/

descrambler using the converter’s channel keys.
