Introduction
Dear SHARP customer
Thank you for your purchase of the SHARP LCD colour TV product. To ensure safety and many years of trouble-free
operation of your product, please read Important safety precautions carefully before using this product.
Important safety precautions
• 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.
• Use a soft damp cloth to gently wipe the panel when it is dirty. To protect the panel, do not use a chemical cloth to clean it.
Chemicals may cause damage or cracks in the cabinet of the TV.
• 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.
• Headphones—Do not set the volume at a high level. Hearing experts advise against extended listening at high volume levels.
• 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.
• Servicing—Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to high voltage and other dangerous
conditions. Request a qualified person to perform servicing.
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.
Precautions when transporting the TV
When transporting the TV, never carry it by holding onto the speakers. Be sure to always carry the TV by two people holding it with two
hands—one hand on each side of the TV.
Caring for the cabinet
• Use a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.) and gently wipe the surface of the cabinet.
• Using a chemical cloth (wet/dry sheet type cloth, etc.) may deform the components of the main unit cabinet or cause cracking.
• Wiping with a hard cloth or using strong force may scratch the surface of the cabinet.
• If the cabinet is very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.) soaked in neutral detergent diluted with water and thoroughly
wrung out, and then wipe with a soft dry cloth.
• The cabinet is primarily made of plastic. Avoid using benzene, thinner, and other solvents, as these may deform the cabinet and
cause the paint to peel off.
• Do not apply insecticides or other volatile liquids. Also, do not allow the cabinet to remain in contact with rubber or vinyl products for
a long period of time. Plasticizers inside the plastic may cause the cabinet to deform and cause the paint to peel off.

Introduction
Caring for the front panel
• Turn off the main power and unplug the AC cord from the wall outlet before handling.
• Gently wipe the surface of the front panel with a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.). To protect the front panel, do not use a dirty cloth,
liquid cleaners, or a chemical cloth (wet/dry sheet type cloth, etc.). This may damage the surface of the front panel.
• Wiping with a hard cloth or using strong force may scratch the surface of the front panel.
• Use a soft damp cloth to gently wipe the front panel when it is really dirty (It may scratch the surface of the front panel when wiped
strongly).
• If the front panel is dusty, use an anti-static brush, which is commercially available, to clean it.
3D glasses
Prevention of accidental ingestion
• Keep the batteries and band accessory out of the reach of small children. Small children can accidentally swallow these parts.
—If a child accidentally swallows any of these parts, seek immediate medical attention.
Do not disassemble
• Do not disassemble or modify the 3D glasses.
Caution for lithium battery
• Batteries must not be exposed to excessive heat such as direct sunlight or fire.
• Replace only with the same or equivalent type of battery. The battery may explode if improperly replaced.
• The 3D glasses turn off automatically.
Handling the 3D glasses
• Do not drop, exert pressure on, or step on the 3D glasses. Doing so may damage the glass section, which may result in injury.
• Be careful not to trap your finger in the hinge section of the 3D glasses. Doing so may result in injury.
—Pay special attention when children are using this product.
Using the 3D glasses
• Parents/guardians should monitor children’s viewing habits to avoid their prolonged use without rest periods.
• Use only the 3D glasses recommended for this TV.
• Use the 3D glasses only for the specified purpose.
• Do not move around while wearing the 3D glasses. The surrounding area appears dark, which may result in falling or other accidents
that may cause injury.
Caring for the 3D glasses
• Use only the cloth provided with the 3D glasses to clean the lenses. Remove dust and soil from the cloth. Any dust or other soiling
on the cloth may result in scratches on the product. Do not use solvents such as benzene or thinners as doing so may cause the
coating to peel off.
• When cleaning the 3D glasses, take care not to allow water or other fluids to come into contact with the glasses.
• Always store the 3D glasses in the case provided when not in use.
• When storing the 3D glasses, avoid very humid or hot locations.
Viewing 3D images
• If you experience dizziness, nausea, or other discomfort while viewing 3D images, discontinue use and rest your eyes.
• Do not use the 3D glasses if they are cracked or broken.

Preparation
Using the remote control unit
Inserting the batteries
Before using the TV for the first time, insert two supplied “AAA” size alkaline batteries. When the batteries become
depleted and the remote control unit fails to operate, replace the batteries with new “AAA” size batteries.
1 Open the battery cover.
2 Insert two supplied “AAA” size alkaline batteries.
• Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (e)
and (f) indications in the battery compartment.
3 Close the battery cover.
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.
• When replacing the batteries, use alkaline batteries instead of zinc-carbon ones.
Note on disposing batteries
The batteries provided contain no harmful materials such as cadmium, lead or mercury.
Regulations concerning used batteries stipulate that batteries may no longer be thrown out with the household rubbish.
Deposit any used batteries free of charge into the designated collection containers set up at commercial businesses.
Angle of the remote control unit
Use the remote control unit by pointing it towards the remote control sensor. Objects between the remote control unit
and sensor may prevent proper operation.

What is teletext?
Teletext broadcasts pages of information and
entertainment to specially equipped TV. Your TV receives
teletext signals broadcast by a TV network, and decodes
them into graphical format for viewing. News, weather

programme previews are among the many services
available.
Turning teletext on/off
1 Select a TV channel or external source
providing a teletext programme.
2 Press m to display the teletext.
• Many stations use the TOP operating system, while
some use FLOF (e.g., CNN). Your TV supports both
these systems. The pages are divided into topic groups
and topics. After switching on the teletext, up to 2,000
pages are stored for fast access.
• If you select a programme with no teletext signal, “No
Teletext available” displays.
• The same message displays during other modes if no

• Be sure to turn off the TV and any devices before making any connections.
• Firmly connect a cable to a terminal or terminals.
• Carefully read the operation manual of each external device for possible connection types. This also helps you get the best possible
audiovisual quality to maximise the potential of the TV and the connected device.
• Refer to page 51 for connecting a PC to the TV.

• The cables illustrated except as described in “(supplied accessory)” in pages 24_26 are commercially available items.
Video connections
HDMI connection
Example of connectable devices
E DVD player/recorder
E Blu-ray player/recorder
E Game console
The HDMI connections permit digital video and audio
transmission via a connection cable from a player/
recorder. The digital picture and sound data are
transmitted without data compression and therefore lose
none of their quality. Analogue/digital conversion is no
longer necessary in the connected devices, which also
would result in quality losses.
DVI/HDMI conversion
Using a DVI/HDMI cable, the digital video signals of
a DVD can also be played via the compatible HDMI
connection. The sound must be fed in additionally.
• When connecting a DVI/HDMI cable to the HDMI terminal, the
image may not come in clearly.
• Both HDMI and DVI use the same HDCP copy protection
method.
E When using the HDMI 2 terminal
You must set the audio signal input source
depending on the type of HDMI cable connected

Enjoying 3D image viewing
You can use special 3D glasses to watch 3D-supported images on this TV.
• You can enjoy 3D movies on this TV by viewing the movie through the 3D glasses supplied with the TV or through optional 3D glasses
sold separately.
• To produce 3D images, liquid crystal shutters in the 3D glasses alternately open and close imperceptibly fast to exactly match alternating
left and right video images displayed by the TV.
• Not all consumers can experience and enjoy 3D TV. Some people suffer from stereo blindness which prevents them from perceiving the
intended depth of 3D entertainment. Also, some people who watch 3D programming may experience initial feelings of motion sickness
as they adjust to the picture. Others may experience headaches, eye fatigue or continued motion sickness. Like a roller coaster, the
experience is not for everyone.
CAUTION
• The 3D glasses are precision equipment. Handle them with care.
• Improper use of the 3D glasses or failure to follow these instructions can result in eye strain.
• If you experience dizziness, nausea, or other discomfort while viewing 3D images, immediately discontinue use of the 3D glasses. Using
the binocular disparity 3D system of this TV with incompatible 3D broadcasts or software can make images appear with a cross talk blur
or create overlapping images.
• When viewing 3D images continuously, be sure to take a break periodically to prevent eye strain.
• If you are nearsighted or farsighted or have astigmatism or a different level of eyesight between the left and right eyes, you should take
the necessary steps, such as wearing eyeglasses, to correct your eyesight before viewing 3D images. The 3D glasses can be worn over
eyeglasses.
• When viewing 3D images, keep the 3D glasses horizontally level with the TV screen. If you tilt the 3D glasses with respect to the TV
screen, the images viewed by the left and right eyes may appear significantly different or images may appear overlapping.
• View 3D images at the appropriate distance from the TV screen. The recommended distance is three times the effective height of the TV
screen.
Examples of recommended distances:
46-inch screen: Approx. 1.7 m
60-inch screen: Approx. 2.2 m
Viewing should not be done closer than the recommended distance.
• Be careful of your surroundings when viewing 3D images. When you view 3D images, objects may appear at a distance closer or farther
than the actual TV screen. This may cause you to misjudge the distance to the TV screen and possibly result in injury if you accidentally
hit the screen or surrounding objects.
• The 3D glasses are only recommended for people ages 5 and older.
• When children are viewing 3D images, be sure a parent or guardian is present. Monitor children viewing 3D images, and if they show
signs of discomfort, immediately discontinue use of the 3D glasses.
• People with a known history of photosensitivity and people with heart problems or poor health should not use the 3D glasses. This can
worsen existing health conditions.
• Do not use the 3D glasses for other purposes (such as general eyeglasses, sunglasses, or protective goggles).
• Do not use the 3D function or 3D glasses while walking or moving around. This may result in injuries due to running into objects, tripping,
and/or falling.
• When using the 3D glasses, take care not to accidentally strike the TV screen or other people. Viewing 3D images may cause you to
misjudge the distance to the TV screen and accidentally strike the screen, resulting in possible injury.

Warning regarding basic use
Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments
• When the TV is used in a low temperature space (e.g., room, office), the picture may leave trails or appear slightly delayed. This is not
a malfunction, and the TV will recover when the temperature returns to normal.
• Do not leave the TV in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the TV in a location exposed to direct sunlight or near a heater, as this
may cause the cabinet to deform and the LCD panel to malfunction.
Storage temperature: e 5 °C to e 35 °C.
Devices connected to the protective earthing of the building installation through the MAINS connection or through other devices with a
connection to protective earthing and to a television distribution system using coaxial cable, may in some circumstances create a fire
hazard. Connection to a television distribution system therefore has to be provided through a device providing electrical isolation within a
certain frequency range (galvanic isolator, see EN 60728-11).
NOTE
• For requirements in Norway and Sweden, the requirements for isolation are also relevant for devices that can be connected to
television distribution systems.
