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.
• 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.
• Do not place vases or any other
water-fi lled containers on this
product. The water may spill onto
the product causing fi re 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.
• The LCD panel used in this product
is made of glass. Therefore, it can
break when the product is struck
forcefully or with a sharp object. 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
heat-generating products (including
amplifi ers).
• To prevent fi re, never place any type
of candle or naked fl ames on the
top or near the TV set.
• To prevent fi re or shock hazard, do
not place the AC power cord under
the TV set or other heavy items.
• Do not place heavy objects on this
product or stand on it. Doing so
could cause injury if the product
overturns. Take special care near
children and pets.
• When relocating the product
placed on a cart, it must be moved
with utmost care. Sudden stops,
excessive force and uneven fl oor
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
insuffi cient 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 is a very high technology product
with 6,220,800 thin fi lm transistors, giving you fi ne
picture details.
Due to the very large number of pixels, occasionally
a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen
as a fi xed point of blue, green or red.
This is within product specifi cations and does not
constitute a fault.
Precautions when
transporting the TV
Be sure to always carry the TV
by two people holding it with two
hands — one hand on each side
of the TV.
• Do not display a still picture for a long time, as this could
cause an afterimage to remain.
• Install the product on the place where the AC cord can
be unplugged easily from the AC outlet, or from the AC
INPUT terminal on the rear of the product.

Before using the TV for the fi rst time, insert two “AAA” size batteries (supplied). 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.
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 fi nd 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.
2 Insert the two supplied “AAA” size
batteries.
• Place batteries with their terminals
corresponding to the (e) and (f)
indications in the battery compartment.
3 Close the battery cover.
Using the remote control unit
Use the remote control unit by pointing it towards the
remote sensor window.
Objects between the remote control unit and sensor
window may prevent proper operation.

Cautions regarding the remote control unit
• Do not subject the remote control unit to shock.
In addition, do not soak the remote control unit with liquids or place it in
an area with high humidity.
• Do not install or place the remote control unit under direct sunlight.
The heat may cause deformation of the unit.
• The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote sensor
window of the TV is under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such
cases, change the angle of the lighting or TV, or operate the remote
control unit closer to the remote sensor window.
• You need to bring up the On-Screen Display to perform
settings for the TV. The On-Screen Display for the settings
is called “Menu”.
• The Menu enables various settings and adjustments. (See

• No picture.
Possible Solution
• Check if you pressed POWER on the remote control unit. (See page 16.)
If the indicator on the TV lights up red, press POWER.
• Is the AC cord disconnected? (See page 10.)
• Has the power been turned on? (See page 16.)
• External infl uences such as lightning, static electricity, etc., may cause improper
operation. In this case, operate the unit after fi rst turning the power off the TV or
unplugging the AC cord and re-plugging it in after 1 or 2 minutes.
• Are batteries inserted with polarity (e, f) aligned? (See page 15.)
• Are batteries worn out? (Replace with new batteries.)
• Are you using it under strong or fl uorescent lighting?
• Is a fl uorescent light shining on the remote control sensor?
• Is the image position correct? (See page 36.)
• Are screen mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly? (See pages 31,
32 and 57.)
• Adjust the picture tone. (See pages 34 to 36.)
• Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright.
• Check the colour system setting. (See pages 23 and 50.)
• Check the input signal setting. (See page 59.)
• Check the HDMI Auto View setting. (See page 47.)
• The unit's internal temperature has increased.
Remove any objects blocking the vent or clean.
• Check the power control setting. (See page 30.)
• Is the sleep timer set? (See page 30.)
• Is the connection to external equipment correct? (See pages 13 and 14.)
•
Has the input signal setup been performed correctly after connection? (See page 59.)

• Is the picture adjustment correct? (See pages 34 to 36.)
• Is the antenna connected properly? (See page 10.)
• Is “On” selected in “Audio Only”? (See page 26.)
• No sound.
• The TV sometimes makes a
cracking sound.
• Is the volume too low? (See page 21.)
• Make sure that headphones are not connected. (See page 8.)
This is not a malfunction. This happens when the cabinet slightly expands and contracts
•
according to changes in temperature. This does not affect the TV's performance.
Troubleshooting-Digital broadcasting
The error message about reception of broadcast
The example of an error message
displayed on a screen
• Failed to receive broadcast.
• No broadcast now.
Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments
• When the unit is used in a low temperature space (e.g. room, offi ce), 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.
