Safety Precautions

To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not use the TV set in an excessively damp place.

Position the TV set out of direct sunlight and away from heat, as high temperatures can damage the cabinet, CRT, or other electronic parts.

Do not cover the ventilation holes at the back of the TV set, this can cause fire or other serious problems. Leave an adequate open space behind the TV set for good ventilation.

Do not install this equipment in a confined space such as a bookcase or a built-in cabinet.

Television equipment and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force and uneven surfaces may cause the equipment and cart combination to overturn.

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 television equipment on an unstable cart, stand or table. The television equipment may fall, causing serious injury to a child or an adult, and serious damage to the equipment. Use only with a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the television equipment.

Never remove the back of the cabinet, as there is high voltage in the TV set. Please call for service.

Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet immediately if the TV set begins to make unusual noises or give off smoke or an odd smell, then call your dealer for service.

Always disconnect your television from the mains and the aerial cable during thunderstorms. Even if your television is switched off, it can still be damaged by lightning striking the mains and/or aerial cable.

To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or naked flames on the top or near the TV set.

Wall or shelf mounting should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting kit approved by the manufacturer.

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.

The picture tube of your TV has a special coating. Do not knock or rub on the tube face with sharp or hard surfaces, otherwise you will damage the coating. To prevent damaging the surface of the television screen, remove finger prints only with a soft cloth dampened with glass cleaner. Do not use any abrasive cleaners. Do not use thinner, benzene or other strong chemical cleaners.

This equipment complies with the requirements of Directives 89/336/EEC and 73/23/EEC as amended by 93/68/EEC.

Wide Mode (Special detail information)

Special detail information about PANORAMA, FULL, NORMAL, ZOOM 14:9 and CINEMA (16:9) .

PANORAMA 4 : 3 16 : 9

The Panorama Mode adapts the broadcast picture to 16:9 format without changing the centre of view. This is especially useful for programmes like the News when the speaker in the centre of the picture needs to be seen clearly.

FULL

With Full Mode you adapt the picture 16:9 format while also stretching the centre of view. This is an advantage, for example, when watching sports games where there is no real fixed centre of the picture.

NORMAL

You can watch 4:3 programmes in 4:3 format by switching to Normal Mode function.

ZOOM 14:9

Adapts the 14:9 broadcast cinema movies to the 14:9 Mode.

CINEMA (16:9)

Adapts the 16:9 broadcast cinema movies to the 16:9 Mode, thereby getting rid of the black borders.

* EFFECTS

SPATIAL EXPANDER: The spatial expander effect depends on whether the feed is MONO or STEREO. If the source feed is MONO, it produces a “Pseudo Stereo” effect. If the source feed is STEREO, it produces a spatial expander effect, expanding the stereophonic image. BYPASS: The BYPASS effect deactivates the SPATIAL EXPANDER.

The SPATIAL EXPANDER effect does not work with headphones.

** SOUND IDENT.

SOUND IDENT. ON: TV automatically identifies the sintonized audio system MONO FM, STEREO NICAM or DUAL NICAM SIGNAL. SOUND IDENT. OFF: Disqualifies the automatic identification of the audio system and forces the sound into MONO FM. This mode can be convenient when the level of the signal received is extremely weak. This function is independent for every programme.

*** DYNAMIC BASS. system extends the frequency range of loudspeakers to create different bass effects.

**** A.V.C (Automatic Volume Correction) Different sound sources, fairly often do not have the same volume level, for example the changing from movie to the advertisements. The Automatic Volume Correction (A.V.C) solves this problem and equalizes the volume levels. You can select A.V.C from four different time levels; Short, Middle and Long.

What is Teletext?

Teletext is an information service, organized 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 organized much like a magazine: according to pages and sub-pages. The basic unit of displayed information is the page. A subpage 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.

Teletext features

Depending on the TV programme, the Teletext pages are transmitted using different systems. Your SHARP TV is adjusted to receive 2 Teletext systems, namely FLOF and LIST, which are automatically identified by the receiver.
