NOTE

Page 13

Using the remote control unit

Use the remote control unit by pointing it towards the remote control sensor on the TV. Objects between the remote control unit and the remote control sensor may prevent proper operation.

Cautions regarding remote control unit

• Do not expose the remote control unit to shock. In addition, do not expose the remote control unit to liquids, and do not place in an area

with high humidity.

• Do not install or place the remote control unit under direct sunlight. The heat may cause deformation of the remote control unit.

• The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote control sensor on the TV is under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such cases, change the angle of the lighting or the TV, or operate the remote control unit closer to the remote control sensor.

Antennas

To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of the types of connections that are used for a coaxial cable. If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector, plug it into the antenna terminal at the rear of the TV set.

1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools (Commercially available).

2. A 300-ohm system is a ﬂ at “twin-lead” cable that can be attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300/75-ohm adapter (Commercially available).

F-type connector

F-type connector should be ﬁ nger-tightened only.

When connecting the RF cable to the TV set, do not tighten F-type connector with tools. If tools are used, it may cause damage to your TV set. (The breaking of internal circuit, etc.)

Setting MTS/SAP stereo mode

The TV has a feature that allows reception of sound other than the main audio for the program. This feature is called Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS). The TV with MTS can receive mono sound, stereo sound and Secondary Audio Programs (SAP). The SAP feature allows a TV station to broadcast other information, which could be audio in another language or something completely different like weather information.

You can enjoy Hi-Fi stereo sound or SAP broadcasts where available.

• Stereo broadcasts View programs like live sporting events, shows and

concerts in dynamic stereo sound.

• SAP broadcasts Receive TV broadcasts in either MAIN or SAP sound. MAIN sound: The normal program soundtrack (either in

mono or stereo).

SAP sound: Listen to a second language, supplementary

commentary or other information. (SAP is mono sound.)

If stereo sound is difﬁ cult to hear.

• Obtain a clearer sound by manually switching to ﬁ xed mono-sound mode.

Closed captions and digital closed captions

Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder. It allows you to view conversations, narration and sound effects as subtitles on your TV. Closed Captions are available on some TV programs and on some VHS home video tapes at the discretion of the program provider.

Digital Closed Caption service is a new caption service available only on digital TV programs (also at the discretion of the service provider). It is a more ﬂ exible system than the original Closed Caption system, because it allows a variety of caption sizes and font styles. When the Digital Closed Caption service is in use, it will be indicated by the appearance of a 3-letter abbreviation that also indicates the language of the Digital Closed Captions: ENG (English), SPA (Spanish), FRA (French) or other language codes.

Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed captions. Please look for the “

” symbol to ensure

that captions will be shown. In the Closed Caption system, there can be more

than one caption service provided. Each is identiﬁ ed by its own number. The “C1” and “C2” services display subtitles of TV programs superimposed over the program’s picture. Generally, Closed Captions in English are transmitted on C1 and Closed Captions in other languages are transmitted on C2.

In the Closed Caption system, the “Text1” or “Text2” services display text that is unrelated to the program being viewed (e.g., weather or news). These services are also superimposed over the program currently being viewed.

Tune the TV to the desired program.

• If the program or video you selected is not closed-captioned, no captions will display on-screen.

• If text is not available in your viewing area, a black rectangle may appear on-screen. If this happens, set the Closed Caption feature to “OFF“.

• When selecting Closed Captions, the captioning will be delayed approx. 10 seconds.

• If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain in the Caption Mode.

• Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during Closed Captioning. This is normal with Closed Captioning, especially with live programs. This is because during live programs, captions are also entered live. These transmissions do not allow time for editing.

• When Captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may be seen but may interfere with Closed Captions.

• Some Cable TV systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the Closed Captioned signal.

• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the Closed Caption Decoder may not appear or may appear with strange characters or misspelled words. In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception or use an outdoor antenna.

Parental control (V-CHIP)

V-CHIP is an electronic ﬁ ltering device built into your TV. This tool gives parents a great degree of control over broadcasts accessed by their children. It allows parents to select programs judged suitable for child viewing while blocking ones judged not suitable. It does so automatically once you activate the V-CHIP feature in your TV.

V-CHIP SET menu will not be selectable from the menu if you do not ﬁ rst conﬁ gure your password.

(See page 32 for password setting for parental control.)

• The U.S. has two rating systems for viewing content: movie ratings and TV Parental Guidelines.

• The TV Parental Guidelines work in conjunction with the V-CHIP to help parents screen out inappropriate television shows from their children.

• Movie ratings are used for original movies rated by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) as watched on cable TV and not edited for television. The V-CHIP can also be set to block MPAA-rated movies.

TV Parental Guidelines

• If you select “PG-13”, this will automatically block the higher ratings “R”, “NC-17” and “X”.

• Voluntary movie rating system only uses an age-based rating.

X: Content rating can be set.

Removing the stand

Before detaching (or attaching) stand, unplug the AC cord from the AC INPUT terminal.

• Do not remove the stand from the TV unless using an optional wall mount bracket to mount it.

Before attaching/detaching stand

• Before performing work make sure to turn off the TV.

• Before performing work spread cushioning over the base area to lay the TV on. This will prevent it from being damaged.

Setting the TV on the wall

• Installing the TV requires special skill that should only be performed by qualiﬁ ed service personnel. Customers should not attempt to do the work themselves. SHARP bears no responsibility for improper mounting or mounting

that results in accident or injury.

Using an optional bracket to mount the TV

• You can ask a qualiﬁ ed service professional about using an optional AN-26AG1 bracket for LC-26D40U or AN- 37AG2 bracket for LC-32D40U to mount the TV to the wall.

• Carefully read the instructions that come with the bracket before beginning work.
