SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.
The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 3A fuse.
Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked or and of
the same rating as above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied,
cut-off the mains plug and fit an appropriate type.
DANGER: The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed
To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
—The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or
coloured black.
—The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or
coloured red.
Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin
plug.
Before replacing the plug cover make sure that:
—If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug.
—The lead grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead and not simply over the lead wires.
IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
immediately and disposed of in a safe manner.
Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket
outlet, as a serious electric shock may occur.

Remote Control Unit of Your DVD Player
Using the Remote Control for TV Operation
The provided remote control can operate the basic functions of your television. In addition to most Sharp
televisions, other manufacturers’ televisions listed below can also be controlled by setting the remote control to
the corresponding TV brand. The remote control’s default brand is “SHARP”, which enables control of most
Sharp televisions. When you replace the batteries in the remote control, the control’s TV brand setting will be
reset to SHARP.
Setting the TV brand
1 Turn on your TV.
2 From the table below select the button which corresponds with the brand of your TV. Simultaneously press
both this button and the OPERATE button (TV control) on the remote control facing toward TV. Hold them
down for about five seconds.
When setting is complete, the remote control will send a “power off” signal to the TV, and it should turn off.
• If the TV does not turn off in step 2, repeat the step 2 setting procedure and select the button for a different brand.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Although the provided remote control unit is compatible with most Sharp televisions, as well as many TV
models manufactured by others, it is possible that the provided remote control will not work with your TV, or will
control only some of the functions.
If the button listed in the table does not work with your TV set, you may want to try another; occasionally,
models vary within a brand.
Consequently, Sharp’s warranty does not cover all of the models under the brands listed in the table.
