Thank you for your purchase of the SHARP LCD colour TV product. To ensure safety and many years of troublefree operation of your product, please read the Important Safety Precautions carefully before using this product.
Dear SHARP customer
• Cleaning—Unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet before cleaning the product. Use a damp cloth to clean the
product. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
• Water and moisture—Do not use the product near water, such as bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink, laundry tub,
swimming pool and in a wet basement.
• Do not place vases or any other water-filled containers on this product.
The water may spill onto the product causing fire or electric shock.
• Stand—Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Doing so can
cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the product.
Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with
the product. When mounting the product on a wall, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s
instructions. Use only the mounting hardware recommended by the manufacturer.
• When relocating the product placed on a cart, it must be moved with utmost care. Sudden stops,
excessive force and uneven floor surface can cause the product to fall from the cart.
• Ventilation—The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do not
cover or block these vents and openings since insufficient ventilation can cause overheating
and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since
they can block ventilation openings. This product is not designed for built-in installation; do not place the product
in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s
instructions are followed.
• The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or
impact applied. If the LCD panel is broken, be careful not to be injured by broken glass.
• Heat sources—Keep the product away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves and other heatgenerating products (including amplifiers).
• To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or naked flames on the top or near the TV set.
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place the AC cord under the TV set or other heavy items.
• Do not display a still picture for a long time, as this could cause an afterimage to remain.
• There is power consumption always if main plug is connected.
The LCD panel is a very high technology product, giving you fine picture details.
Due to the very large number of pixels, occasionally a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as
a fixed point of blue, green or red.
This is within product specifications and does not constitute a fault.

CAUTION
Improper use of batteries can result in chemical leakage or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.
• Do not mix batteries of different types. Different types of batteries have different characteristics.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries or cause chemical
leakage in old batteries.
• Remove batteries as soon as they have worn out. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If you find any
chemical leakage, wipe thoroughly with a cloth.
• The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions.
• If you will not be using the remote control unit for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from it.

Inserting the batteries
Before using the TV for the first time, insert two “AA” size batteries (supplied). When the batteries become

of the TV is under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such case, change
the angle of the lighting or TV, or operate the remote control unit closer to
the remote control sensor.

Quick guide
Turning on the power
Press a on the TV.
• The B indicator on the TV changes from red to green.
NOTE
• If you are not going to use this TV for a long period of
time, be sure to remove the AC cord from the power outlet.
• In DTV input mode, if the power is turned off immediately
after a setting change from the menu screen, the new
setting or channel information may not be memorised.
Initial auto installation
When the TV powers on for the first time after purchase,
the initial auto installation is invoked. You can
automatically set language, country and channels in
successive operations.
NOTE
• The initial auto installation functions only once. If the initial
auto installation is not completed, (ex: When menu screen
disappeared by not operating for a few minutes, when
the power shut down, etc.), try First Installation from the
Setup menu. (See page 13.)
• The initial auto installation can be stopped by pressing
MENU or EXIT.
1 Setting the on-screen display language
1 Press a/b/c/d to select the desired language
listed from “First installation(Language)”.
2 Press ENTER to enter the setting.
2 Setting your country or area

listed from “First installation(Country)”.
2 Press ENTER to enter the setting.

Display status indicator
Power off
The TV is in standby mode.
The TV is on.
The TV screen is off and a Timer event
has begun.
Although it only displays the tuning of the analogue
channel, it is actually tuning the digital channels at
the same time.
NOTE
• Both analogue and digital channels are scanned at the
same time during “Automatic search” of the “First
installation”, and digital channel tuning is faster than
analogue tuning. If you want to operate the digital mode
first, press EXIT and then press DTV/TV.
• You can select a language from the Setup menu. Select
from 13 languages. (English, Spanish, German, French,
Italian, Swedish, Dutch, Russian, Portuguese, Turkish,
Greek, Finnish, Polish)
• You can select a country from the Setup menu. Select
from 13 countries. (United Kingdom, Spain, Germany,
France, Italy, Sweden, Netherlands, Russia, Portugal,
Turkey, Greece, Finland, Poland)
* If on the “First Installation(country)” screen “United
Kingdom” is selected, “Move To” cannot be used in U.K.
• If you want to reconfigure the country setting, for instance
after moving to another country, conduct “First installation”
from the Analogue Menu again.
If you select the country as “Germany” in the
“First installation” of the Setup menu, the
tuner works as follows.
• After “Auto Scan” is complete, carrier names are sorted
in the same order of the “Channel Sort Table List (TV,
Radio)”.
• Sorting is accomplished by checking whether the service
name correspond to the “Received Service Name” of the
“Channel Sort Table List”.
• Received carrier names are not changed to match the
“Short Service Name”.
• The channel position moves up, if the service is not found
after the “Auto Scan” is finished.
• A carrier that is not in the “Channel Sort Table List” will be
positioned at the bottom of the sorted list.
• If the same service name is duplicated, the tuner selects
the stronger signal, sorts it and places it in the list. The
weaker signal listing is placed at the bottom of the list.
• TV and Radio presetting is done separately so LCN
numbers are not duplicated between the two.
