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 or

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-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.

• 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 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 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 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 qualiﬁ ed person to perform servicing.

The LCD panel is a very high technology product, 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

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.

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.

Antenna

Connect the antenna cable from your antenna-/cable socket or the (room-/roof) antenna for antenna input terminal on the back of your TV set to receive digitally/terrestrially broadcast stations. An indoor antenna can also be used under good reception conditions. Passive and active room antennas are offered commercially. In an active antenna its power is supplied via the antenna input terminal. The supply voltage (5V) must be correspondingly set under “Supply voltage”. (Page 19)

* Ferrite Core

The Ferrite Core should be permanently attached and never removed from the AC cord.

Setting the TV on the wall

• This TV should be mounted on the wall only with the wall mount bracket available from SHARP. (See page 43.) The use of other wall mount brackets may result in an unstable installation and may cause serious injuries.

• Installing the LCD Colour TV requires special skill that should only be performed by qualiﬁ ed service personnel. Customers should not attempt to do the work themselves. SHARP bears no responsibility for improper mounting or mounting that results in accident or injury.

• You can ask a qualiﬁ ed service personnel about using an optional bracket to mount the TV to the wall.

select “Yes”, and then press OK to start the search.

The TV starts scanning all available DTV and

radio services in your area.

NOTE

• The language and country settings used in this operation are the settings you have already set while executing the Initial auto installation (Analogue). If you want to reconﬁ gure the country setting, for instance after moving to another country, conduct “Search wizard” from the Analogue Menu again. (Page 19)

• The DTV services are searched and stored according to the channel number information embedded in the TV signal (if available). If the information is not available, the services are stored according to the order in which they were received.

If you would like to sort the order, it is possible to arrange it

as explained in page 28.

• To cancel the scan in progress, press END.

• You cannot select any DTV-related menu items unless “Auto Installation” has been completed.

HDMI connection

The HDMI connections (High Deﬁ nition 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 can also be played via the compatible HDMI connection. The sound must be fed in additionally. (Page 10)

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

NOTE

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

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

Supported video signal: VGA, 625i (576i), 625p (576p), 525i (480i), 525p (480p), 1125i (1080i), 750p (720p), 1125p (1080p)

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Solution

• No power.

• Unit cannot be operated.

• Remote control unit does not operate.

• Picture is cut off.

• Strange colour, light colour, or dark, or colour misalignment.

• Power is suddenly turned off.

• No picture.

• Check if you pressed B on the remote control unit. If the indicator on the TV lights up red, press B.

• Is the AC cord disconnected?

• Check if you pressed a on the TV.

• 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, or unplugging the AC cord and re-plugging it in after 1 or 2 minutes.

• Is the FUNCTION button set correctly? Set it to the TV setting position. (Page 37)

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

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

• Are you using it under strong or ﬂ uorescent lighting?

• Is a ﬂ uorescent light illuminated to remote control sensor?

• Is the image position correct? (Page 21)

• Are screen mode adjustments (Auto format or Wide modes) such as picture size made correctly? (Pages 20 and 23)

• Adjust the picture tone. (Page 16)

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

• Check the colour standard. (Pages 19 and 20)

• Check the HDMI setup setting. (Page 18)

• The unit’s internal temperature has increased.

Remove any objects blocking vent or clean.

• Is sleep timer set? Press SLEEP on the remote control unit until it sets to off.

• Is “No signal off” activated? (Page 21)

• Is connection to other components correct? (Pages 10 and 11)

• Is input signal type selected correctly after connection? (Page 18)

• Is the correct input source selected? (Page 22)

• Is non-compatible signal being input? (Page 41)

• Is picture adjustment correct? (Page 16)

• Is the antenna connected properly? (Page 4)

• No sound.

• The TV sometimes makes a cracking sound.

• Is the volume too low?

• Make sure that headphones are not connected.

• Check if you pressed e on the remote control unit.

• This is not a malfunction. This happens when the cabinet slightly expands and contracts according to change in temperature. This does not affect the TV’s performance.

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.

Storage temperature: –20°C to e60°C.

IMPORTANT NOTE ON RESETTING THE PIN

We suggest that you remove the following instruction from the operation manual to prevent children from reading it. As this operation manual is multilingual, we also suggest the same with each language. Keep it in a safe space for future reference.

Enter “3001” when PIN entry is required.

• This operation cannot be performed from the DTV menu screen.

Restore the current PIN under “Change PIN” (TV menu > Setup > Child lock).
