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

• 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.

Do not display a still picture for a long time, as this could cause an afterimage to remain.

Preparation

Installing Batteries in the Remote Control

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

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

• Detach the cover while pressing the (") part.

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

• Align the tab on the battery cover (1) and place it while pressing the tab (2) to close it.

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 the 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.

How to Prevent the LCD TV Set from Falling Over

To prevent the LCD TV set from falling over in case of earthquakes and so on, strap it onto the wall by threading one end of the string through the loop of the table stand (1) and fastening the LCD TV set

with the string attached to the hook on the wall or the post, etc. (2). (An example of strapping the LCD TV set onto the wall is shown on the right.)

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

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

• PC connection is not possible.

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

• Make sure that the corresponding cables are connected to each terminal. Connecting other cables may result in a malfunction.

• INPUT2 has two terminals, VIDEO and S-VIDEO terminals. If your external device has an S-VIDEO terminal, S-VIDEO connection is recommended. S-VIDEO provides a finer, more detailed picture. If both terminals are connected, S-VIDEO terminal takes a priority.

• Only when 480I, 480P or 576I signal is received through the INPUT1, picture can be displayed.

• Make sure the antenna cable is properly connected.

• Bad reception could be the problem.

The picture is not clear.

• Check colour adjustment.

The picture is too light or improperly tinted.

The picture is too dark.

Remote control does not work.

Unit cannot be operated.

(NTSC mode)

•Check if “BACKLIGHT” is set to “DARK”.

•Check “CONTRAST”.

• The fluorescent lamp may have reached the end of its service life.

• Check if batteries in the remote control have sufficient power.

• Make sure the remote sensor window is not under strong lighting.

•External influences such as lightning, static electricity, etc., may cause improper operation. In this case, operate the unit after first turning the power off, or unplugging the AC cord and replugging it in after 1 or 2 minutes.

■ 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)
