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.

Items Explanation

The signal type of the devices that can be

Connections and signal

Immediate playback

connected can vary greatly. If you are not sure, leave the setting for “Signal” on “Automatic CVBS/YC” (e.g. for DVD Player/Recorder) or “Autom.-VHS/SVHS” (e.g. VCR), otherwise select the right signal type.

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.

Adjusting the geometry

Using this function, you can adjust the horizontal/ vertical position of the picture. (Page 38)

Setting the colour standard

Press MENU and the TV menu screen displays.

Press c/d to select “Picture”, and then press b to move down.

Press a/b to select “Colour standard”, and then press b to move down.

Press c/d to select “RGB” for PC, and “Ycc” (in rare cases, “Ypp” or “RGB”) for STB, and then press OK.

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.
