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 properly tuned and adjusted for a proper color picture 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 utmost 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, 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 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.

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO
WET LOCATIONS.

Important Safeguards

CAUTION: Please read all of these instructions before you operate your television and save these intructions for later use.

Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This unit has been engineered and manufactured to assure your personal safety. BUT
IMPROPER USE CAN RESULT IN POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARDS. In order not to defeat the safeguards incorporated
in this equipment, observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and servicing.

1. Unplug this television equipment from the wall outlet before cleaning.

2. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

3. Do not use attachments not recommended by the television equipment manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

4. Do not use this television equipment near water — for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement,
or near a swimming pool, etc.

5. Do not place this equipment on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The television equipment may fall, causing serious injury to a child or an
adult, and serious damage to the equipment. Use only with a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the television
equipment.

6. Television equipment and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may
cause the equipment and cart combination to overturn.

7. Wall or shelf mounting should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting kit approved by the manufacturer.

8. Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation. To insure reliable operation of the television equipment
and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. This television equipment should not be placed in a built­in insulation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.

9. The openings should never be covered with a cloth or other material, and the bottom openings should not be blocked by placing the television
equipment on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This television equipment should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat
register.

10. This television equipment should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the
type of power supplied to your home, consult your television dealer or local power company.

For television equipment designed to operate from battery power, refer to the operating instructions.

11. As a safety feature, television equipment is equipped with a 2-wire polarized plug (one plug blade bigger than the other). The 2-wire polarized
plug will fit only one way into the power outlet.

If the plug does not fit, ask your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not modify the plug and defeat this safety feature.

12. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this television equipment where the cord will be abused by persons walking
on it.

13. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the television equipment.

14. If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

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:

1. A 75 ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type connector that can easily be

attached to a terminal without tools. The F-type connector should be finger tightened

only.

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 CONNECTOR 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 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.

L HOW TO SET CLOSED CAPTION

• Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder.
“Closed Caption” is a system which allows you to view

conversations, narration, and sound effects in TV programs and
home videos as subscript on your TV screen as shown above.

• Not all the programs and videos will offer closed caption. 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 subscripts dialogues 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.

indicate a problem with your set.

• If any button is pressed to call up the ON SCREEN DISPLAY
while viewing a CLOSED CAPTION broadcast, the closed
captions will disappear momentarily.

• When viewing in TEXT mode, if no TEXT broadcast is being
received, for some programs the screen may become dark and
blank. Should this occur, set the Closed Caption mode to “OFF”.
