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 tuned and adjusted for proper color 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 greatest 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:

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF

DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).

NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.

REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS (Continued)

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.

ELECTRIC SERVICE EQUIPMENT

15. For added protection for this television equipment during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the equipment due to lightning and power-line surges.

16. An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

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.

Insert the batteries

Pull up

Battery Cover

• 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 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:

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/

Closed Caption

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 on the right.

• 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.

Parent Control (V-CHIP Operation)

L V-CHIP

• 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.

Example 1.1 : Age Based setting

Go through all select ratings and select unblocked for “AGE”. This will automatically unblock everything.

Example 1.2 : Age Based setting

For “TV-G” select “BLOCK” for “AGE”. This will automatically block the higher age ratings “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-MA” as well as “TV-G”. Furthermore, the content ratings “D”, “L”, “S”, “V”, “FV” are automatically blocked as well for “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-MA” as well as “TV-G”.

Example 2.1 : Content Based setting

For “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-MA” select unblocked for each content ratings (“D”, “L”, “S”, “V”, “FV”) by leaving “AGE” unblocked for “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-MA”. If you choose to unblock for each one in content base.

Example 2.2 : Content Based setting

Then for “TV-PG” and select “BLOCK” for only “V” (Violence). This will automatically block the higher ratings “TV-14-V” and “TV-MA-V” (“TV- 14” and “TV-MA” for Violence content only). Please note that with these settings blocking does NOT occur. If a program is rated only “TV-MA”; it must be rated “TV-MA-V” to be blocked.

Note:

• Content ratings can be modified but only in the combinations indicated by an V in the table on page

17.

• Changing a lower age rating’s content setting to “BLOCK” automatically changes the same higher age rating’s content setting to “BLOCK” regardless of their previous settings.

• Changing a lower rating’s “AGE” setting to “BLOCK” automatically changes all higher ratings to “BLOCK” regardless of their previous settings.

• Any rating’s “AGE” set to unblocked must have its content settings individually set.

L “ Identifying” Remote VCRs, cable TV

conveters and DVDs

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

• In this set-up step, the Remote locates and memorizes the remote control transmitter code for the VCR, cable TV converters and DVDs.

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

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

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

TIPS ON IDENTIFYING YOUR VCR:

If your VCR model does not have the CHANNEL UP function on its remote control, it cannot be identified using the SEARCH method for identifying. For such models, please try the DIRECT ENTRY method of identifying. Be Patient: a minute or two can seem a lot longer when you’re waiting for something to happen, but the code should be identified within 2 minutes. Remember, it is only a one-time set-up. Be careful not to let the VCR scan more than five channels when the indicator starts to move up. If you continue holding down the

UP (8)

after five channel scans, the proper remote

and

code can be passed up, and the two minutes 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.
