If a program has three services (Digital CC(ENG), CC1
and Text1), the closed caption display will toggle in this
sequence:

The CC button keeps a record of the last service selected

in its memory.
If the last closed caption mode (e.g. 1/3 ENG) you
selected is not available for the next program, or on
another channel, the closed caption service that is
available is automatically selected, and this service
appears in parentheses, e.g. "1/3(CC1)".
Closed Caption services that appear in parentheses will
not be stored in the CC button’s memory as your last
selected service. Only services that you have selected
with the CC button are stored.

Digital CC(ENG) is displayed as your current selection, if
Digital CC(ENG) is not broadcast for the next program, the
other closed caption service, CC1, will be displayed in
parentheses.
A closed caption service appears in parentheses because
the service you selected is not available and a different
service is displayed on your screen. "1/1(CC1)" is displayed
instead of "1/2/ENG".

programming.

While violence is the most important content element to

be rated, the structure developed takes into consideration
other program content like language, nudity, sexuality
and mature themes.

When setting the V-CHIP on the Canadian system you

can choose either the Canadian English ratings or the
Canadian French ratings.

Enjoying 3D Image Viewing (For the UQ17U, TQ15U, SQ17U, SQ15U and LE657U models)

You can use special 3D Glasses to watch 3D-supported images on this TV.

Be careful of your surroundings when viewing 3D images. When you view 3D images,

Information

You can enjoy 3D movies on this TV by viewing the movie through SHARP 3D Glasses

supplied with the TV or through optional 3D Glasses sold separately.

To produce 3D images, liquid crystal shutters in the 3D Glasses alternately open and close

imperceptibly fast to exactly match alternating left and right video images displayed by the TV.

Not all consumers can experience and enjoy 3DTV. Some people suffer from stereo blindness

which prevents them from perceiving the intended depth of 3D entertainment. Also, some
people who watch 3D programming may experience initial feelings of motion sickness as they
adjust to the picture. Others may experience headaches, eye fatigue or motion sickness. Some
viewers might also experience epileptic seizures. Like a roller coaster, the experience is not for
everyone.

CAUTION

The 3D Glasses are precision equipment. Handle them with care.
Improper use of the 3D Glasses or failure to follow these instructions can result in eye

strain.

If you experience dizziness, nausea, or other discomfort while viewing 3D images,

immediately discontinue use of the 3D Glasses. Using the 3DTV with incompatible 3D
broadcasts or software can make images appear blurry or create overlapping images.

When viewing 3D images continuously, be sure to take a break periodically to prevent

eye strain.

If you are nearsighted or farsighted or have astigmatism or a different level of eyesight

between the left and right eyes, you should take the necessary steps, such as wearing
eyeglasses, to correct your eyesight before viewing 3D images. The 3D Glasses can be
worn over eyeglasses.

When viewing 3D images, keep the 3D Glasses horizontally level with the TV screen. If

you tilt the 3D Glasses with respect to the TV screen, the images viewed by the left and
right eyes may appear significantly different or images may appear overlapping.

View 3D images at the appropriate distance from the TV screen. The recommended

distance is three times the effective height of the TV screen.
Examples of recommended distances
90-inch screen: Approx. 11.2 ft (3.4 m)
80-inch screen: Approx. 9.8 ft (3.0 m)
70-inch screen: Approx. 8.5 ft (2.6 m)
60-inch screen: Approx. 7.2 ft (2.2 m)
Viewing should not be done closer than the recommended distance.

objects may appear closer or farther than they are. This may cause you to misjudge the
distance and possibly result in injury if you accidentally hit the screen or surrounding

objects.
The 3D Glasses are not recommended for people aged less than 6.
When children are viewing 3D images, be sure a parent or guardian is present. Monitor

children viewing 3D images, and if they show signs of discomfort, immediately

discontinue use of the 3D Glasses.
People with a known history of photosensitivity and people with heart problems or poor

health should not use the 3D Glasses. This can worsen existing health conditions.
Do not use the 3D Glasses for other purposes (such as general eyeglasses, sunglasses,

or protective goggles).
Do not use the 3D function or 3D Glasses while walking or moving around. This may

result in injuries due to running into objects, tripping, and/or falling.
When using the 3D Glasses, take care not to accidentally strike the TV screen or other

people. Viewing 3D images may cause you to misjudge the distance to the TV screen

and accidentally strike the screen, resulting in possible injury.
It is recommended that you do not view 3D images if you are sleep deprived or if you

have been drinking alcohol.
