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.

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.

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.

• 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.

• Choosing a lower age-based rating blocks the higher age-based ratings regardless of content ratings settings.

• An unblocked CONTENT RATING will override its respective AGE RATING, even when that AGE RATING is set to BLOCK. (For example, if FCC data is “TV-PG” & “D”, then TV program is still viewable if CONTENT “D” is unblocked for “TV-PG” regardless if “TV-PG” AGE RATING is also blocked.)

L “Identifying” Remote VCR and Cable TV Converters

Your Remote Control has been set at the factory to operate your TV and many remote control VCRs and Cable Converters. However, in some cases an easy one-time set-up step may be necessary before the Remote will operate accessory VCRs and Cable Converters.

• In this set-up step, the Remote locates and memorizes the remote control transmitter code for the VCR or Cable Converter.

• Once “identified”, the Remote sends the proper remote signals to operate your accessory.

• This identify step will not have to be repeated until power to the Remote is interrupted due to a battery failure.

L USING YOUR REMOTE CONTROL WITH A VCR

Once you make certain the Remote Control has “identified” your remote controlled VCR, the Remote Control is ready to operate your unit. The various VCR function buttons on the Remote Control will not operate your VCR if those features are not already found on your unit.

• All VCR buttons will operate whether the Remote Control is in TV or CATV modes.

• For detailed information on the use of the VCR, refer to the operation manual of the VCR.

after five channel scans, the proper remote code can be passed up, and the two minute identify cycle will have to be repeated. If a channel change does not occur on the VCR within two minutes, read the identifying instructions again and repeat the steps. Should a channel change still not occur, the remote will not operate with the desired VCR.
