Welcome to the SHARP F amily. W e are pleased that you are now the o wner of a SHARP Color Television

so that you may adjust the picture and color to your personal viewing preference.

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 the y 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 e v ery American family replaced their TVs and VCRs with ENERGY
STAR® models, it would reduce carbon dio xide emissions by fiv e million tons ev ery year — equiv alent to
eliminating the pollution from more than one million cars.

By using ENERGY STAR® products, you will sav e money 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 f orce may disturb the color picture . Mak e sure that magnets, electric clocks, to ys using
magnets or any other magnetic substance, such as iron are kept well away from this TV set.

Power

Your TV oper ates 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 r adio 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 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:

Battery
Cover

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 CO AXIAL 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 conv erter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by
the cable TV company. This conv erter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled
channels. (Set your 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 scrambled channels via the conv erter/
