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-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 qualified 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.

3

Press and slide the battery cover to open it.

Insert two supplied “AAA” size batteries.

Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (e) and (f) indications in the battery compartment.

Close 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.

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

Do not overuse the light-up function by using LIGHT Dbutton, doing so may shorten the battery life. Replace the batteries when the light on LCD window or light-up function become weak or blurry.

• Do not continue to use the remote control unit with batteries running low. This may result in error message or malfunction. Should this happen replace the batteries and leave it unused for 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 37.)

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.

Using the remote control unit

Use the remote control unit by pointing it towards the remote control sensor. Objects between the remote control unit and sensor may prevent proper operation.

Initial auto installation (DTV)

Digital Video Broadcasting is a transmission scheme. It is much more than a simple replacement for existing analogue television transmission. DVB provides more stations, clearer picture quality and other services displayed on the screen. It also allows a range of new features and services including subtitles and multiple audio tracks.

To watch DTV broadcasts, follow the procedures below to scan all available services in your area.

NOTE

Make sure to perform Initial auto installation (Analogue) outlined in the preceding section as well, even if you intend to view only DTV broadcasts.

1Press DTV (or b, then a/b to select “DTV”, and then press OK) to access the DTV mode.

2Press DTV MENU and the DTV Menu screen displays.

3Press c/d to select “Installation”.

4Press a/b to select “Auto Installation”, and then press OK.

If you have already set the PIN, enter it here. If not, enter the factory preset PIN “1234”.

See page 20 for setting PIN.

A confi rmation message displays. Press c/d to select “Yes”, and then press OK to start the search.

5The 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.

Macintosh adaptor may be required for use for some Macintosh computers.

When connecting to a PC, the correct input signal type is automatically detected.

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)

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 12 - 14 for details.
