SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.

ASA

The mains lead of this product is ﬁ tted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 13A fuse. Should the

fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked

and of the same rating as above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used. Always reﬁ t the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover ﬁ tted. In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut off the mains plug and ﬁ t an appropriate type.

DANGER:

The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed 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. To ﬁ t 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:

Blue: Neutral Brown: Live

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 ﬁ tted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug.

• The cord 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.

WARNING:

This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

Dear SHARP customer

Thank you for your purchase of the SHARP LCD colour TV product. To ensure safety and many years of troublefree 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or impact applied. 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 amplifiers).

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

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

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

• There is power consumption always if main plug is connected.

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

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

Precautions when transporting the TV

When transporting the TV, never carry it by holding onto the speakers. Be sure to always carry the TV by two people holding it with two hands — one hand on each side of the TV.

types or if you have to specify the network ID for your cable network (information available from your cable network provider). If you want to run the station search independently of the channel grid, select frequency search for the search method.

Select which satellite(s) you receive from a list. For more than one satellite, select the type of your changeover switch or communal satellite system additionally. Ask your dealer in this regard.

Specify here whether the high band of the selected satellite is to be searched in addition to the low band.

Normally, you do not need to change the values for high and low band, unless the LNC (LNB) of your satellite system uses a different oscillator frequency (important for the frequency display). After you have made these settings, you should receive the picture and sound of the selected satellites (only with Astra1 and HOTBIRD).

The symbol rates are specified by the satellite provider and do not normally need to be changed.

Select the signal source from a list, the station of which is to be at the top of your station list (starting with station slot 1).

• If you want to use the AV Link function with an externally connected recorder, the analogue stations have to be between station slot 1 and

99.

Start the automatic station search with OK. First TV stations, then radio stations are searched for. The stations found in the automatic search are divided into the appropriate station blocks depending on the previously selected antenna cables (signal sources). Subsequently the stations can only be re-sorted within these blocks. At the beginning of the station list you will find the block with the stations of the preferred signal source. Any mixed sorting of stations from different signal sources is only possible with the favourites list.

In conclusion the connection wizard will start; with their help you can register and set your video devices or decoders, and connect them to the TV set. DVD players and DVD recorders are already registered at the factory. You can start the connection wizard manually later and add new devices. Further information is available on page 15 (Connection wizard) and page 22 (Speaker/amplifier connection).

With good reception conditions a room antenna can be used for DVB-T (socket ANT2).

Under less favorable reception conditions, it is advisable to use an active antenna which has to be set accordingly in the initial installation or in the “TV Menu > Connections > Antenna DVB > Antenna DVB-T”. (See “Antenna DVB-T” on this page).

If the location is outside of the normal transmission range then a directional antenna can be used to improve reception quality.

Initial installation

Positioning/aligning DVB-T antenna

If you are receiving one or more DVB-T stations with picture and sound interference then you should change the installation location and alignment of the antenna. Ask your dealer to tell you which channels are used to broadcast the DVB-T stations in your region.

If the picture from a connected device is to be displayed immediately on the TV set during playback, select “yes”. A switching voltage is allowed so that you do not have to switch over manually to see the picture of the connected device. (See the operating manual for the connected reproduction device.) When playing from AV Link devices, the picture is always displayed immediately, regardless of the setting.

Select the AV socket to which the device of which you want to hear the digital sound is connected. Connect the digital output of the external device to the digital input of the TV set. (Page 22) If a device with digital audio is not connected then select “no”.

Connecting external devices

HDMI connection

(Optional audio

connection)

The HDMI connections (High Definition Multimedia Interface) permit digital video and audio transmission via a connection cable from a player. The digital picture and sound data are transmitted without data compression and therefore lose none of their quality. Analogue/digital conversion is no longer necessary in the connected devices, which also would result in quality losses.

HDMI/DVI conversion

Using a DVI/HDMI adapter cable, the digital video signals of a DVD or PC can also be played via the compatible HDMI connection. The sound must be fed in additionally.

HDMI and DVI both use the same HDCP copy protection method.

Connecting the HDMI device

In “Connection wizard > AV equipment

selection”, select “HDMI/DVI”, and connect the device accordingly.

• If an HDMI/DVI conversion cable is used, audio signals must be fed separately to either DIGITAL AUDIO (IN) or analogue AUDIO IN (L/R).

NOTE

• Video noise may occur depending on the type of HDMI cable used. Make sure to use a certified HDMI cable.

• When playing an HDMI image, the best possible format for the picture will be detected and set automatically.

Supported video signals:

VGA, 576i, 576p, 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p See page 18 for PC signal compatibility.

If a connected HDMI device is AQUOS LINK compatible, you can take advantage of versatile functions using the AQUOS LINK buttons on the remote control.

See pages 19 - 22 for details.

(Optional audio

connection)

VGA/XGA connection (PC/ SetTopBox)

You can connect a PC or a SetTopBox (STB) to the EXT 7 (ANALOG RGB) terminal and thus use the screen of the TV set as an output device.

When connecting the PC, set the PC’s output

resolutions according to the capabilities of the PC. For details, see page 18 for PC signal compatibility.

When connecting a SetTopBox, set the

following screen resolutions according to the capabilities of the SetTopBox:

Supported video signals (for STB):

576i, 576p, 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i

Connecting

Connect the device to EXT 7 via the VGA cable.

See page 22 for the sound connection.

Registration in the connection wizard is not

necessary.

Connecting external devices

Audio connection Analogue audio:

Connect the analogue audio signal from the PC

or the SetTopBox via stereo cable to the AUDIO IN (L/R) jack on the TV set.

• The sound is played via the speakers connected to the TV set or a speaker system.

Digital audio:

• An external digital audio signal can be reproduced via the integrated Dolby Digital Decoder or via an externally connected digital audio amplifier.

Connect the digital audio signal from the PC or

the SetTop-Box via a simple cinch cable to the DIGITAL AUDIO (IN) socket on the TV set.

Then assign the digital audio input in “TV menu

> Connections > Miscellaneous > Assign digital audio input”.

For an external digital audio amplifier:

Prerequisite: External audio amplifier is already

connected. (Page 22) Feed the digital audio signal of the DIGITAL

AUDIO (OUT) socket on the TV set to the external amplifier.

Component connection (EXT3)

DVD players/recorders with component video connections can also be connected to EXT 3 (COMPONENT) of the TV set instead of to the SCART sockets. The connecting cable with three cinch plugs transmits the picture information with better quality than a SCART cable. You need an additional cable for audio transmission. The basic procedure of setting up a component connection (cable connection and audio connection) is the same as explained in the previous section, “VGA/ XGA connection (PC/SetTopBox)”, except:

When adjusting the parameters in “Signal type

at socket EXT3”, select “Automatic” if you are not sure. Read the operation manual of the external device for other options.

the provider with the “Select provider”. If the provider you are looking for is not in the list, then press YELLOW to perform a Provider search. The stations offered by the provider will be displayed in a list.

You can remove certain stations from the programme guide. These stations must be deactivated in the station selection. First, all stations for which programme information can be provided are marked with a ✔ . Stations without a ✔ are not included in the programme guide.

Station markings according to reception ranges: E: analogue stations via antenna/cable, for

which the current provider supplies data.

T: digital terrestrial stations DVB-T, C: digital cable stations DVB-C, S: digital satellite stations DVB-S1/S2.

If you want to use EPG for analogue and digital stations, select “on” (for DVB + analogue). If you want to use EPG and only have DVB reception, select “on” (only for DVB). If you are not using EPG and therefore do not want to receive any EPG data, select “off”. After making changes in the EPG menu, or each time the power switch has been switched off, the EPG data must be captured. To do this, switch on the device and select (for analog stations) the station that you have defined as the provider, and let the TV set run for about 1 hour with the selected station. Or switch the TV set to standby mode. After 2 minutes the display on the TV glows orange and the EPG data capture begins. When the data capture process has concluded the display will return to red. The data capture process is usually performed between 2:00 am and 5:00 am, when the TV set is in standby mode.

Watching DVB broadcasts

Conditional Access Module (CI Module)

In order to receive coded digital stations, a Conditional Access Module (CI Module) and a CA Card must be inserted in the CI slot of your TV set. (Page 6) The CI Module and the CA Card are not supplied accessories. They are usually available from your dealer.

Inserting the CA Card into the CI Module

Make sure the TV set is switched off with the main power switch (a) on the set, or pull the AC plug.

With the side with the gold coloured contact

chip facing the side of the CI Module marked with the provider’s logo, push the CA Card into the CI Module as far as it will go. Note the direction of the arrow printed on the CA Card.

Inserting the CI Module in the CI slot

Remove the rear terminal cover.

Switching on the TV set

After powering on with the new CI Module inserted, a dialogue will appear. You must conduct a station search.

Press OK to start the station wizard.

Check the recommended search routine parameters and then start the search.

NOTE

• If you use an external recorder without AV Link, you have to select the recording source in the recorder (e.g. AUX, refer to your recorder’s operation manual). In case of recording DVB programmes, the TV’s tuner is used, not the VCR’s tuner.

• If you use an external recorder with AV Link, this recording source selection is controlled automatically.

Timer list

Here you will find a list of channels already programmed for recording. From here, you can also change the recording data (GREEN), delete programmed recordings completely (YELLOW), or programme a new recording (RED) by pressing the assigned colour buttons.

Pre- and post record time

If you record a programme without VPS, you can specify a time span by which your programme time should be brought forward/prolonged so that programmes which begin/end too early/late are recorded from start to finish.

Timer recording with external devices

Recorder with AV Link

If you use an externally connected recorder with AV Link or a similar system, the TV set and connected recorder exchange its own station/timer data. Please consult the operating manual of your recorder to find out if your recorder is AV Link compatible. In addition use only Euro SCART cables for the connection between the TV set and recorder.

Analogue stations

The timer data is transmitted automatically from the TV set to the recorder after programming is complete. The recording is then controlled by the recorder and the recorder tuner is used for reception of the programme. The recording data is not saved in the timer list of the TV set. Consequently if you want to change or delete the timer data then you must do so on the recorder.

Digital stations

If you want to record digital stations with an externally connected recorder, then the DVB tuner is used and the TV device takes over control of the recorder. Then the station on the TV set is locked during the timer recording.

Recorder without AV Link

If you cannot programme your externally connected recorder from the TV set, but it supports AV Link, the receiver of the TV set is always used. AV Link must be switched on on the recorder. Read the operating instructions of your recorder. In addition use only Euro SCART cables for the connection between the TV set and recorder.

Analogue and digital stations

You can control the recording from the TV set. The recorder must be set manually to the AV input to which the TV is connected. Then the station on the TV set is locked during the timer recording.

Copy protection

Copy-protected programs will not be output on the EURO SCART sockets for legal reasons.

HDD Digital Recorder operation

Important information

Hard disk (HDD)

This TV set records programmes onto a hard disk drive (HDD). The hard disk is equipped with a safety mechanism to protect data from impact, vibration and dust. However, to prevent loss of recorded data, you should be particularly careful of the following points:

• Do not subject the TV set to any impact.

• Do not use in a location which is unstable or subject to vibration.

• Do not move the TV set while the power is on.

• Do not unplug the power cord from the AC outlet during recording or playback. First turn power “OFF” (the STANDBY indicator glows red), and then unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.

• Do not use in a location with abrupt temperature variation (variation of more than 10°C per hour).

• The TV set will malfunction if used in a cold location (5°C or less) or an extremely hot location (35°C or higher).

• If you carry the TV set from a cold location to a warm location, let the TV set sit for a while before using it.

• In the unlikely event that the hard disk (HDD) malfunctions for some reason, you cannot replace it by yourself. If you disassemble the TV set you will void the warranty. Please contact the nearest service centre approved by SHARP. We cannot provide compensation for data content if data is lost or not recorded.

This TV set has a built-in hard disk drive (abbreviated as “HDD”) for recording and playback. Beware of the following points when setting up and using the TV set. Failure to observe these precautions may cause damage to the HDD itself or its content, failure of the disk to operate, or recording of noise.

• Do not subject the TV set to any vibration or impact.

• Do not place the TV set in a cramped location which might block the cooling fan or ventilation port on the back of the TV set.

• Do not place the TV set in a location with severe temperature variation.

If the TV set is set up in a location with severe temperature

variation, dew may form on and inside the TV set. If the TV set is used with internal dew formation present, this may cause HDD damage or malfunction. We recommend keeping variation in room temperature within 10˚C per hour.

• Do not place the TV set in a location with high humidity.

• Place the TV set horizontally, never at an incline.

• When the power is on, do not unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, do not turn off the breaker for the area where the TV set is set up, and do not move the TV set.

When moving the TV set, first turn off the power (the

STANDBY indicator glows red) and then unplug the power cord from the AC outlet.

Unrecordable material

• The only signals that can be recorded are those from the internal analog & digital tuners and external CVBS & Y/C signals.

• When recording a signal other than the signal being watched, some signals cannot be recorded depending on the signal being viewed.

• This TV set is equipped with a copy guard function that prevents the recording of broadcast programmes that contain a signal that restricts copying in accordance with copyrights and so forth.

• If a copy guard signal is contained in a source video that occurs partway through recording, recording is paused at that point. Recording resumes when the copy guard signal is no longer present, while no recordings will be made for the part where the copy prevention signal is present.

In the unlikely event that there is a problem such as the loss of recorded video or audio content due to an HDD malfunction, please be aware beforehand that SHARP will bear no responsibility to compensate for the content which could not be recorded or edited, for the loss of recorded or edited video, or for other related direct or indirect damages.

If a power failure occurs

• The content being recorded or timer recorded may be damaged if a power failure occurs.

• The content being played back may be damaged.

For important recording

• If the HDD malfunctions, the content recorded on the HDD may be lost. If you wish to save content permanently, we recommend copying or moving the content to DVD-RW or DVD-R.

NOTE

• If a message indicating an HDD error is displayed and the HDD has malfunctioned, you cannot replace the HDD by yourself. If you disassemble the TV set, the warranty will become void. Also, recovery of data is impossible. If playback is possible, re-record the recorded content onto a DVD-RW/R disc, and contact your nearest service centre approved by SHARP.

• Recording and playback of any material may require consent. Please refer particularly to the provisions of the copyright Act 1956, the Dramatic and Musical Performers Protection Act 1958, the Performers Protection Acts 1963 and 1972 and to any subsequent statutory enactments and orders.

HDD Digital Recorder operation

Features

About the Digital Recorder system

Your SHARP TV set is equipped with a Digital Recorder that includes a hard disk. You can use this to record and playback picture and sound from TV programmes, like with a VCR or DVD recorder. HDTV programmes can also be recorded and played back. However, the possibilities of the Digital Recorder are far more versatile than those of a VCR or DVD recorder:

✔ Time shift viewing

When you’re watching TV, the phone rings …

Don’t worry. You can pause a TV programme and continue playing it later.

✔ Chasing playback

You return home early when a timer-recorded football game is already in progress …

Don’t wait. You can simply rewind to the beginning of the game while still recording.

✔ Simultaneous recording/playback

You don’t have to sit and wait until the recording ends. You can play DVDs or programmes already recorded in the HDD while recording.

✔ Instant replay

You jump back 40 seconds at the press of a button to watch the scene again. The live picture is shown at the same time in the PIP window.

✔ Recording straight into the archive

The archive holds between 20 and 100 hours of programmes, depending on the recording quality set.

✔ Timer recording using EPG or teletext

Comfortably select your favourite programme for recording, from the EPG or teletext. The Digital Recorder records up to 50 timer recordings - even in your absence.

✔ Serial recording

You can conveniently programme serials which run daily, weekly or from Monday to Friday.

✔ Delete Manager

An automatic delete manager always ensures there is sufficient recording space for new programmes.

✔ Editing archived titles

You can sort, edit/rename, lock or delete the titles in the DR archive. You can also delete or hide sections of the selected programme.

✔ Copying your recordings to a video/DVD

recorder

Recordings which you wish to watch repeatedly on a long-term basis should be burnt to a DVD or transferred to a video recorder. The programme can then be deleted from the archive. For data transmission to external equipment, you can do this by using the “Copy” command.

✔ Archiving the time-shifted recording

You can also decide to copy the whole TV programme into the Digital Recorder’s archive at the end of a TV programme you have been watching with a time shift.

✔ Fast navigation by jumping

Jump backwards and forwards in the programme at the press of a button. The jump distance is adjustable. In addition, the special function “Smart jump” ensures that for each change in jump direction the jump distance is cut in half. This way you can feel your way quickly to a certain spot in the time shift playback.

✔ Fast forward and rewind

You can fast forward and rewind at three different speeds in the programme you are viewing. (Rewind is not possible with HDTV.)

✔ Slow motion

You can watch the programme you are viewing at four different slow motion speeds.

✔ Setting bookmarks

During a football match, for example, you can flag goals or exciting scenes. (For this, the time-shift recording is converted into an archive recording.) For later playback, you can play bookmarks as highlights.

Limitation during PIP operation

If on the main screen you see the live picture and you open the PIP picture, generally the background recording for time-shift TV is ended and deleted. With archive recording and time-shift TV, there may be limitations on the stations which you can select for the PIP picture.

Recording with the HDD

Time shift recording and archive recording

There are 2 ways of recording a TV programme with the HDD. One is Time shift recording and the other is Archive recording.

Time shift recording

The TV automatically records the programme currently tuned in. Pause, rewind, and chasing playback is available with the live programmes just like recorded programmes. Every time you change the channel, the old recording data of the previous channel is discarded and the new recording starts.

• While this is working, the indicator lights green.

• If you choose not to use this feature, set “DR continuous operation” to “off”.

• The maximum time shift duration is approximately 3 hours, depending on the conditions.

Archive recording

You can record programmes onto the DR archive’s hard disk drive.

About Delete Manager

The Delete Manager always makes sure there is enough memory space on the hard disk for new recordings. When the capacity of the hard disk is almost exhausted, the old recordings are deleted. Recordings which you have marked with delete protection are not deleted by the Delete Manager. You can delete these recordings manually. For settings and cancelling delete protection, see page 50. To avoid loss of data, we recommend you copy important recordings onto video tape or a writable DVD, and delete the recordings from the Digital Recorder after copying to save space. SHARP is not liable for data loss on the Digital Recorder’s hard disk.

Smart jump

The Smart jump function is included to enable fast and easy access to a certain place within the programme. When Smart jump is switched on, the jump distance is cut in half after each change in the jump direction while jumping. By cutting the jump distance in half when changing the jump direction, you can estimate your way close to a particular section. The playback symbol (I) is yellow when the Smart jump function is active. For instance, you are looking for the beginning of a programme …

Press G several times to jump back (pre-set jump distance).

If you have jumped past the beginning of the programme, jump in the opposite direction. Briefly press J.

• Is the FUNCTION button set correctly? Set it to the TV setting position. (Page 55)

• Are batteries inserted with polarity (e, f) aligned?

• Are batteries worn out? (Replace with new batteries.)

• Are you using it under strong or fluorescent lighting?

• Is a fluorescent light illuminated to remote control sensor?

• Are screen mode adjustments (Auto format, Wide modes or Geometry) such as picture size made correctly?

• Adjust the picture tone.

• Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright.

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: e5°C to e35°C.
