SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.

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 or ASA 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.

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.

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 find any chemical leakage, wipe thoroughly with a cloth.

•When replacing the batteries, use alkaline batteries instead of manganese ones.

•Do not overuse the light-up function of the LIGHT Dbutton, doing so may shorten the battery life. Replace the batteries

when the light on the LCD window or the light-up function becomes weak or when the window becomes blurry.

• Do not continue to use the remote control unit with the batteries running low. This may result in	RESET
error message or malfunction. Should this happen replace the batteries and leave it unused for	button
a while. Otherwise, you may open the rear battery cover and press the RESET button. When
you press the RESET button, your Universal remote control settings will be deleted.
• The remote control unit has a internal memory of external devices. In order not to lose the
data, replace the batteries quickly. If the manufacturer code is initialised and lost, you can input
the manufacturer code again. (See page 55.)

•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.

Note on disposing batteries:

The batteries provided contain no harmful materials such as cadmium, lead or mercury.

Regulations concerning used batteries stipulate that batteries may no longer be thrown out with the household rubbish. Deposit any used batteries free of charge into the designated collection containers set up at commercial businesses.

	Items	Explanation
	Language	Select the language.
		Antenna/cable (analogue): analogue stations
	Connect	via cable/antenna
		DVB-T: digital, terrestrial stations
	antenna
		DVB-C: digital stations via cable
	cable(s)
		DVB-S (cable 1): digital stations via satellite
		DVB-S (cable 2): digital stations via satellite
	Antenna DVB-T	If you are using an active antenna, then select
		yes (5V) for the antenna power supply.

	Items	Explanation
		The conventional settings will be derived from
		the selection of set location. Only change this
		if you know other symbol rates and modulation
	Antenna	types or if you have to specify the network ID for
		your cable network (information available from
	DVB-C
		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.
	Antenna	For more than one satellite, select the type of
		your changeover switch or communal satellite
	DVB-S
		system additionally. Ask your dealer in this
		regard.
		Specify here whether the high band of the
	High band	selected satellite is to be searched in addition to
		the low band.
		Normally, you do not need to change the values
	LNB	for high and low band, unless the LNC (LNB) of
		your satellite system uses a different oscillator
	frequencies
		frequency (important for the frequency display).
	Low Band/High
		After you have made these settings, you should
	Band
		receive the picture and sound of the selected
		satellites (only with Astra1 and HOTBIRD).
		The symbol rates are specified by the satellite
	Symbol rates	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
	Favoured signal	(starting with station slot 1).
		• If you want to use the AV Link function with an
	source	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
	Start search	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

Connecting external devices

HDMI connection

(Optional audio	(Optional audio
connection)	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.

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)

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.

1 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.

2Then assign the digital audio input in “TV menu > Connections > Miscellaneous > Assign digital audio input”.

For an external digital audio amplifier:

1Prerequisite: External audio amplifier is already connected. (Page 22)

2Feed 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.
