IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued)

• If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment, be sure the antenna system is
grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code provides information with respect to proper grounding
of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit,
size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding elec-
trodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and

disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the

N or added protection for this television equipment during a

equipment due to lightning and power-line surges.

• An outside antenna system should not be located in the . _ _.--_IL--_
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or

power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or
circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme
care should be taken to keep from touching such power
lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

PREPARATION (Continued)

Household power outlet

• Use a commercially available AC plugadapter, if necessary, depending on the design of the wall outlet.

• Always turn the MAIN POWER switch of the LCD TV set to off when connecting the AC adapter.

_ Always unplug the AC adapter from the product and power outlet when not using for a long period of time.

J

• A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75-
ohm coaxial cable to the set, screw the 75-ohm cable to the ANT. terminal.

• Some cable TV companies offer "premium pay channels". Since the signals of these premium pay
channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambier is generally provided to the subscriber
by the cable TV company. This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the
scrambled channels. (Set your TV to channel 3 or 4, typically one of these channels is used. If this
is unknown, consult your cable TV company.) For more specific instructions on installing cable TV,
consult your cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the converter/descrambler
provided by your cable TV company is explained below.
Please note: An RF switch provided with two inputs (A and B) is required (not supplied).

"A" position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view all unscrambled channels by using the

TV's channel keys.

"B" position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/

descrambler by using the converter's channel keys.

• Consult your SHARP Dealer or Service Center for the type of splitter, RF switch or combiner that might be

required.

PREPARATION (Continued)

• The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for black & white
television reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended.
The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various antenna

systems.

1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F4ype
connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without
tools (not supplied).

75-ohm coaxial cable (round)

2. A 300-ohm system is a fiat "twin-lead" cable that can be
attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300-75-ohm
adapter (not supplied).

• This TV set is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder. "Closed Caption" is

a system which allows conversations, narration, and sound effects in TV programs
and home videos to be viewed as captions on the TV screen (see the illustration).

• Net all programs and videos wifl offer closed captioning. Please look for the "_"
symbol to ensure that captions will be shown.

• The Closed Caption broadcasts can be viewed in two modes: CAPTION and TEXT.
For each mode, two channels are available: CH1 and CH2.

The CAPTION mode shows subscripts of dialogs and commentaries of TV dramas

and news programs while allowing a clear view of the picture.

The TEXT mode displays various information over the picture (such as TV program

schedules and weather forecasts, etc.) that is independent of the TV programs.
