Safety precautions

Damage

Servicing

Unstable surface
and shocks

Turn off the power and unplug the power
cord from the wall outlet immediately if
the TV set begins to make any unusual
noises or gives off smoke or an unusual
smell. Then call your dealer for service.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do
not remove the back of the cabinet. This
TV set contains dangerous voltage.

Do not place this TV set on an unstable
cart, stand, shelf, or table. The TV set
may fall, causing serious injury to a child
or adult, and serious damage to the set.

Sharp recommends securing the TV set
to a stable surface or wall to prevent the
set from falling due to sudden shocks or
impact.

Liquid entry

Object entry

Water

Do not place a flower vase or anything
else containing liquid on the TV set, as
liquid spilt on the TV set can cause
electrical shock or failure.

Never insert or drop any metallic or
inflammable objects into the ventilation
openings of the TV set, as this can cause
fire, electrical shock, or electrical failure.

To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not
place the TV set near a bathroom,
swimming pool or other area where it may
become wet.

To prevent electrical shock, do not subject
the AC power cord to damage by bending
or twisting it, or by placing heavy items on
top of it and do not place the AC power
cord under the TV set. If the AC power
cord becomes damaged, unplug it from
the wall outlet immediately and call your
dealer for service.

Do not place this TV set in a confined
area, such as on a bookshelf or in a built­in case. Leave adequate space behind the
TV for proper ventilation.

Do place the TV set onto an even stand,
table or track which size is bigger than the
TV set.
If the TV set is put onto a smaller size or
uneven stand, table or track may cause
the TV cabinet distort.
Do not put or insert anything between TV
set and the stand, table or track.

Antenna connections

Connecting to an antenna

To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of
the types of connections that are used for coaxial and feeder cables.

If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with a standard
DIN45325 plug (IEC 169-2), plug it into the Antenna In terminal at the
rear of the TV set.

If your outdoor antenna uses a 300-ohm twin-lead flat feeder, connect a
300-ohm to 75-ohm impedance converter and plug it into the Antenna In
terminal at the rear of the TV set.

Teletext broadcasts

Teletext is an information service, organised like a magazine, which is provided by some
television stations in addition to regular television broadcasting. Your television receives
special Teletext signals broadcast by a TV station, processes the information and
displays it graphically on the screen. News, weather and sports information, stock
exchange prices, programme previews and closed captioning for the deaf are among the
many services available through Teletext.

Teletext information is organised much like a magazine: according to pages and sub­pages. The basic unit of displayed information is the page. A sub-page is one of a series
of pages.

Teletext reception is controlled by using the remote control. Refer to the appropriate
button descriptions for operation of the Teletext functions.

FLOF and LIST

Depending on the TV programme, the
Teletext pages are transmitted using
different systems. Your SHARP TV is
adjusted to receive two Teletext
systems, namely FLOF and LIST,
which are automatically identified by
the receiver.
You can easily identify them by the
manner in which they appear on the
screen.
