- For added protection for this equipment during a lightning

storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the equipment due to lightning and power-line surges.

- An outside antenna system should not be located in the

vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

- To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this product to dripping or splashing. No objects

filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the product.

- To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place the AC power cord under the TV set or other heavy

items.

Tips and safety instructions

- The TFT color LCD panel used in this TV is made with the application of high precision technology. However, there may be minute points on the screen where pixels never light or are permanently lit. Also, if the screen is viewed from an acute angle, there may be uneven colors or brightness. Please note that these are not malfunctions but common phenomena of LCDs and will not affect the performance of the TV.

- Do not display a still picture for a long period, as this could cause a residual image.

- If the brightness is adjusted to the minimum setting, it may be difficult to see the screen.

- The quality of the video signal may influence the quality of the display. We recommend using an equipment able to emit high quality video signals.

- Never rub or tap the TV with hard objects.

- Please understand that Sharp Corporation bears no responsibility for errors made during use by the customer or a third party, nor for any other malfunctions or damage to this product arising during use, except where indemnity liability is recognized under law.

- This TV and its accessories may be upgraded without advance notice.

Location

- Do not use the TV where ventilation is poor, where there is a lot of dust, where humidity is high, or where the TV may come into contact with oil or steam, as this could lead to fire.

- Ensure that the TV does not come into contact with water or other fluids. Ensure that no objects such as paper clips or pins enter the TV as this could lead to fire or electric shock.

- Do not place the TV on top of unstable objects or in unsafe places. Do not allow the TV to come into contact with strong shocks or vibrations. Causing the TV to fall or topple over may damage it.

- Do not use in places where the TV will be subject to direct sunlight, near heating equipment or anywhere else where there is likelihood of high temperature, as this may lead to generation of excessive heat and outbreak of fire.

Power cord

- Do not damage the power cord, place heavy objects on it, stretch it, or over bend it. Also, do not add extension cords. Damage to the cord may result in fire or electric shock.

- Use only the power cord supplied with the TV.

- Insert the power plug directly into the AC outlet. Adding an extension cord may lead to fire as a result of overheating.

- Do not remove or insert the power plug with wet hands. Doing so could result in electric shock.

Connecting the

to a home antenna terminal

CAUTION!

- When connecting, ensure that the TV is switched off.

The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for black & white television reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended. The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various antenna systems. (See page E10 for information on removing/replacing the terminal cover.)

connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools (commercially available).

75-ohm coaxial cable (round)

2. A 300-ohm system is a flat "twin-lead" cable that can be attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300-75-ohm adapter (commercially available).

300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)

Notes:

- The 75-ohm coaxial cable is recommended.

- TV memory for channels is empty at shipment. To receive channels, use the CHANNEL SETTING menu. (See pages E28 through E30.)

Connecting the TV to a home antenna terminal

Cable TV (CATV) connection

- A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75-ohm coaxial cable to the set, screw the 75-ohm cable to the antenna input terminal (ANT).

- Some cable TV companies offer "premium pay channels". Since the signals of these premium pay channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by the cable TV company. This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled channels. (Set your TV to channel 3 or 4, typically one of these channels is used. If this is unknown, consult your cable TV company.) For more specific instructions on installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the converter/descrambler provided by your cable TV company is explained below. Please note: An RF switch provided with two inputs (A and B) is required (commercially available).

"A" position on the RF switch (commercially available): You can view all unscrambled channels by

using the TV's channel buttons.

"B" position on the RF switch (commercially available): You can view the scrambled channels via the

converter/descrambler by using the converter's channel keys.
