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 the Important Safety Precautions carefully before using this product.

Important Safety Precautions

Electricity is used to perform many useful functions, but it can also cause personal injuries and property damage if improperly handled. This product has been engineered and manufactured with the highest priority on safety. However, improper use can result in electric shock and/or fire. In order to prevent potential danger, please observe the following instructions when installing, operating and cleaning the product. To ensure your safety and prolong the service life of your LCD colour TV product, please read the following precautions carefully before using the product.

1. Read instructions—All operating instructions must be read and understood before the product is operated.

2. Keep this manual in a safe place—These safety and operating instructions must be kept in a safe place for future reference.

3. Observe warnings—All warnings on the product and in the instructions must be observed closely.

4. Follow instructions—All operating instructions must be followed.

5. Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of inadequate attachments can result in accidents.

6. Power source—This product must operate on a power source specified on the specification label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply used in your home, consult your dealer or local power company.

7. AC cord protection—The AC cords must be routed properly to prevent people from stepping on them or objects from resting on them. Check the cords at the plugs and product.

8. Overloading—Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords. Overloading can cause fire or electric shock.

9. Entering of objects and liquids—Never insert an object into the product through vents or openings. High voltage flows in the product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock and/or short internal parts. For the same reason, do not spill water or liquid on the product.

10. Servicing—Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to high voltage and other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified service person to perform servicing.

11. Repair—If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet, and request a qualified service person to perform repairs.

a. When the AC cord or plug is damaged. b. When a liquid was spilled on the product or when objects have fallen into the product. c. When the product has been exposed to rain or water. d. When the product does not operate properly as described in the operating instructions.

Do not touch the controls other than those described in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of controls not described in the instructions can cause damage, which often requires extensive adjustment work

by a qualified technician. e. When the product has been dropped or damaged. f. When the product displays an abnormal condition. Any noticeable abnormality in the product indicates that

the product needs servicing.

12. Replacement parts—In case the product needs replacement parts, make sure that the service person uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer, or those with the same characteristics and performance as the original parts. Use of unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric shock and/or other danger.

13. Safety checks—Upon completion of service or repair work, request the service technician to perform safety checks to ensure that the product is in proper operating condition.

14. Wall or ceiling mounting—When mounting the product on a wall or ceiling, be sure to install the product according to the method recommended by the manufacturer.

Important Safety Precautions (Continued)

• 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.

• 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.

• The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or applied with impact. Be careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in case the LCD panel breaks.

• Heat sources—Keep the product away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves and other heat-generating products (including amplifiers).

• 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.

•To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or naked flames on the top or near the TV set.

• 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.

•To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place the AC power cord under the TV set or other heavy items.

The LCD panel is a very high technology product with 921,600 thin film transistors, giving you fine picture details. Due to the very large number of pixels, a few non-active pixels may occasionally appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red. This is within product specifications and does not constitute a fault.

Installing Batteries in the Remote Control

Before using the LCD TV set for the first time, install the two “AAA” size batteries supplied in the remote control. When the batteries become depleted and the remote control fails to operate, replace the batteries with new “AAA” size batteries.

1 Open the battery cover. 2 Insert two “AAA” size batteries. 3 Close the battery cover.

■ Slide the cover while pressing the (

) part.

■ Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (+) and (–) indications in the battery compartment.

■ Engaging the lower claw with the remote control, close the cover.

Caution!

Precautions regarding batteries

■ Improper use of batteries can result in a leakage of chemicals and/or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.

•Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (+) and (–) indications.

•Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not mix batteries of different types.

•Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries and/or cause old batteries to leak chemicals.

•Remove batteries as soon as they are depleted. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If chemical leakage is found, wipe it off with a cloth.

• The batteries supplied with the LCD TV set may have a shorter operating time due to storage conditions.

• If the remote control is not to be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from the remote control.

Using Remote Control

■ Use the remote control by pointing it towards the remote sensor window of the main unit. Objects between the remote control and sensor window may prevent proper operation.

Cautions regarding use of remote control

■ Do not apply shock to the remote control. In addition, do not expose the remote control to liquids, and do not place it in an area with high humidity.

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

■ The remote control may not work properly if the remote sensor window is under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such a case, change the angle of the lighting or main unit, or operate the remote control closer to the remote sensor window.

■ What is Teletext?

Teletext is an information service organised like a magazine, which is provided by some TV stations in addition to regular television broadcasting. Your LCD TV set receives special Teletext signals broadcast by a TV station, processes the information and displays it graphically on the screen. News, weather and sports information, stock exchange prices, programme reviews and closed captioning for people hard of hearing are among the many services available through Teletext.

■ Teletext mode

Teletext is activated with TEXT on the remote control and is also closed with it. The LCD TV set can be controlled in Teletext mode directly by inputting commands with the remote control and indirectly through the on-screen display (menu system).

Connecting with External Devices

NOTE

You can enjoy picture and sound by connecting a VCR or a home video game system to the terminals located on the rear of the LCD TV set. When connecting an external device, turn off the power of the LCD TV set first to prevent any possible damage.

Example of external devices that can be connected

External devices that can be connected to AV-IN1 terminal

• Camcorder

• Home video game system

* If your external device has an S-Video terminal,

S-VIDEO connection is recommended.

External devices that can be connected to AV-IN2 terminal

• VCR

External devices that can be connected to COMPONENT terminal

• DVD, etc.

* If your external device has a component terminal,

COMPONENT connection is recommended (you can view high-quality pictures).

• PC connection is not possible.

• For the cable, use a commercially available audio/video cord.

• Only connect audio/video signals to AV-IN1 and AV-IN2/OUT terminals. Connecting other signals may result in a malfunction.

• AV-IN1 has 2 video input terminals: VIDEO and S-VIDEO. When you connect external devices to both terminals (and if you select AV-

IN1), you can only view pictures from the S-VIDEO terminal. To view the picture from the VIDEO terminal, do not connect any external devices to the S-VIDEO terminal.

• For more information about external device connections, see the manuals of your external devices.

• If HDTV (720P/1080I) signals are input to the COMPONENT terminals, playback cannot be viewed.

• When you connect external devices to both S-VIDEO and VIDEO terminals (and if you select AV-IN1), you can only view pictures from

the S-VIDEO terminal.

• You cannot view multiple or synthesized pictures by connecting two or more external devices. When connecting an external device, use care to connect the video and audio cables to the corresponding terminals.

• When a monaural audio source is connected to only one of the AUDIO input terminals, sound will be heard not from both speakers but from only one speaker.

Connecting with External Devices (Continued)

NOTE

Outputting video and audio (video output)

You can output video and audio data from the LCD TV set through the AV output terminals (AV-OUT).

• When using as an OUTPUT terminal, select “Setup” in the Menu and set “AV2 In/Out” to “Out”. (See page 19.)

• The factory setting for “AV2 In/Out” is “In”.

Connect to a VCR, audio amplifier, etc.

• AV2 has 2 Out modes (see page 19).

• When using the S-VIDEO input for AV-IN1, no video output will be made to the AV output terminal, but audio output will be made for

connection to external audio systems.

• When using the S-VIDEO input for AV-IN1 or Y, PB and PR input for COMPONENT, no video output will be made to the AV output terminal, but audio output will be made for connection to external audio systems.

■ Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments

•

When the unit 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 unit will recover when the temperature returns to normal.

•Do not leave the unit in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit 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: –20°C to +60°C)

Troubleshooting (Continued)

Antenna

Problem Check item

•The reception may be weak.

The picture is not sharp.

The picture moves.

The picture is doubled or tripled.

The picture is spotted.

•The state of the broadcast may also be bad.

•Make sure the antenna is facing the correct direction.

•Make sure the outside antenna has not been disconnected.

•Make sure the antenna is facing the correct direction.

•Broadcast waves may be reflected from adjacent mountains or buildings.

•There may be interference from automobiles, trains, high-voltage lines, neon lights, etc.

•There may be interference between the antenna cable and power cable. Try positioning them further apart.

There are stripes on the screen or colours fade.

• Is the unit receiving interference from other devices? Transmission antennas of radio broadcasting stations and transmission antennas of amateur radios and cellular phones may also cause interference.

• Use the unit as far apart as possible from devices that may cause possible interference.
