Dimension: 140mm x 215mm
Welcome to the SHARP Family. We are pleased that you are now the owner of a SHARP Color Television
– built for outstanding quality, reliability and performance.
Every SHARP Color Television set is tuned and adjusted for proper color and sound, and has passed
through the most stringent quality control tests at the factory. We have prepared this OPERATION MANUAL
so that you may adjust the picture and color to your personal viewing preference.
We sincerely hope that you receive the greatest satisfaction and enjoyment from your new SHARP Color
Television set for years to come.
Please read these instructions carefully, and keep them handy for your future reference.

Serial No.:
IMPORTANT
To aid reporting in case of loss or theft, please record the TV’s
model and serial numbers in the space provided. The numbers
are located at the rear of the TV.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
There are two important reasons for prompt warranty registration of your new SHARP television set. Use
the REGISTRATION CARD packed in with the set.
FIRST – WARRANTY
This is to assure that you will immediately receive the full consumer benefit of the parts, service and labor
warranty applicable to your purchase.
SECOND – CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY ACT
To assure that you will promptly receive any safety notification on inspection, modification or recall that
SHARP may be required to give under the 1972 Consumer Product Safety Act. PLEASE READ
CAREFULLY THE IMPORTANT “LIMITED WARRANTY” CLAUSE ON THE LAST PAGE.
WHAT IS ENERGY STAR
®
TVs and VCRs use energy both when they are on and when they are off. Americans spend more than $1
billion a year on energy consumed by TVs and VCRs when they are not in use. The new ENERGY
STAR
®
models will reduce that energy “leakage” by up to 75 percent. Ultimately, this will mean more than
$500 million a year in energy savings for consumers.
The energy savings will help reduce the burning of fossil fuels and the related carbon dioxide pollution
that contributes to global warming. If every American family replaced their TVs and VCRs with ENERGY
STAR
®
models, it would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by five million tons every year — equivalent to
eliminating the pollution from more than one million cars.
By using ENERGY STAR
®
products, you will save money on your electric bills and use less energy. That
makes good economic sense and it’s good for our environment.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT
EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO WET LOCATIONS.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSONNEL.
The lightning flash with
arrowhead within a triangle is
intended to tell the user that
parts inside the product are a
risk of electric shock to
persons.
The exclamation point within a
triangle is intended to tell the
user that important operating
and servicing instructions are
in the papers with the
appliance.
“Note to CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention
to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in
particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building,
as close to the point of cable entry as practical.”

5. Do not place this 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.
6. 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.
7. Wall or shelf mounting should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a
mounting kit approved by the manufacturer.
8. Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation. To

Dimension: 140mm x 215mm
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS (Continued)
13. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the television equipment.
14. If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment, be sure the antenna system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the
National Electrical Code provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode.
15. For added protection for this television 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.
16. 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.
17. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in fire or electric shock.
18. Never push objects of any kind into this television equipment through cabinet slots as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid
of any kind on the television equipment.
19. Do not attempt to service this television equipment yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you
to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
20. Unplug this television equipment from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel
under the following conditions:
A. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
B. If liquid has been spilled into the television equipment.
C. If the television equipment has been exposed to rain or water.
D. If the television equipment does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust
only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the television equipment to normal operation.
E. If the television equipment has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
F. When the television equipment exhibits a distinct change in performance — this indicates a need for
service.
21. Upon completion of any service or repairs to this television equipment, ask the service technician to
perform routine safety checks to determine that the television is in safe operating condition.
22. When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

Note:
Location
•For normal operation, your TV should be located in an area of the room where cool adequate ventilation
is provided. Do not place the back of the television set in a place where free airflow will be restricted.
•Any magnetic force may disturb the color picture. Make sure that magnets, electric clocks, toys using
magnets or any other magnetic substance, such as iron are kept well away from the TV set.
Power
Your TV operates on 120 Volts, 60 Hz (normal household current) and has a polarized plug. If you are
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. Should it fail to fit, contact an
electrician. Do not defeat the safety feature of the polarized plug.
• If the set is not going to be used for a long period, such as during a vacation, unplug the set from the
wall outlet to economize power. (If the TV set is plugged in, a slight current still flows, even with the
POWER BUTTON in the OFF position.)
• Lines and other noise may appear in TV broadcast images when an FM tuner or radio is located near
the TV and both radio and TV broadcasts are being received. Should such noise appear, turn off the
radio.
• If you are listening to an AM broadcast, turn the TV off. AM broadcast signals may not be received
due to interference from the TV.
•
Before using the television, prepare the Remote Control
To use the remote control, insert batteries first.
Inserting the batteries
• With your thumbnail, pull up the slit as indicated by the arrow to remove the battery cover. Insert two
batteries (size “AA”). Be sure to match the battery e/d terminals with the e/d marks inside the
compartment.

Antennas
• 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:
Antenna Connections
F-type connector
75-ohm coaxial cable (round)
300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)
1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with
F-type connector that can easily be attached to
a terminal without tools (not supplied).
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 ADAPTOR (not supplied).

Dimension: 140mm x 215mm
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 COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR.
• 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 on 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: RF switch equipped with position A/B (not provided) is required.
“A” position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view all unscrambled channels using the TV’s
channel keys.
“B” position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/
descrambler using the converter’s channel keys.
Note:
• Consult your SHARP Dealer or Service Center for the type of splitter, RF switch or combiner that
might be required.
OUTDOOR ANTENNA CONNECTION
• Refer to one of the following two diagrams when connecting to an outdoor antenna.
A: Using a VHF/UHF combination outdoor antenna.
B: Using separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antenna.
• Connect an outdoor antenna cable lead-in to the ANT/CABLE terminal on the rear of the TV set.

broadcast. You must switch the mode back to STEREO if you want to hear stereo sound again.
• Selecting MTS while receiving video signals from INPUT terminals does not change the type of
sound; in this case, sound is determined by the video source.

How to set CLOSED CAPTION
•Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder. “Closed
Caption” is a system which allows conversations, narration, and sound
effects in TV programs and home videos to appear as captions on the
TV screen (see the illustration).
• Not all the programs and videos will offer closed captioning. Please
look for the “ ” symbol to ensure that captions will be shown.
• Closed Caption broadcast can be viewed in two modes: CAPTION
and TEXT. For each mode, two channels are available, CH1 and CH2:
The CAPTION mode shows subscripts of dialogs and commentaries
of TV dramas and news programs while allowing clear view of the
picture.
The TEXT mode displays over the picture other various information
(such as TV program schedule, weather forecast, etc.) that is
independent of the TV programs.
1 Press MENU to access the MAIN MENU screen.
2 Press CH 8/9

to access the CLOSED CAPTION setting screen.
4 Press CH 8/9

5 Press VOL

to change the CLOSED CAPTION setting.
6 Press MENU to exit.
Note:
• If a broadcast contains CLOSED CAPTION and the MUTE button is pressed, the set enters CAPTION
mode automatically. Pressing MUTE again will return the set to its previous condition.
• Closed Caption may malfunction (white blocks, strange characters, etc.) if signal conditions are poor
or if there are problems at the broadcast source. This does not necessarily indicate a problem with
your TV.
• If any button is pressed to call up the ON SCREEN DISPLAY while viewing a CLOSED CAPTION
broadcast, the closed captions will disappear momentarily.
• If no TEXT broadcast is being received while viewing in the TEXT mode, the screen may become
dark and blank for some programs. Should this occur, switch the Closed Caption mode to “OFF”.

Parent Control (V-CHIP Operation)
L V-CHIP
• This function allows you to restrict TV programs and also allows you to control TV usage based on
FCC data. This function is to prevent your children from watching violence or sexual scenes that may
be harmful.
• Restriction of TV programs includes two characters that contain information about the program’s MPAA
rating and the TV Parental Guidelines. MPAA is restricted by age. TV Parental Guidelines are restricted
by age and contents.
• Since a TV program may use either the MPAA rating or the TV Guidelines you should adjust both for
complete control.
[1] MPAA RATING
RATING
G GENERAL AUDIENCES. All ages admitted.
PG PARENTAL GUIDANCE SUGGESTED. Some material may not be suitable for
children.
PG-13 PARENTS STRONGLY CAUTIONED. Some material may be inappropriate for
children under 13.
R RESTRICTED. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.
NC-17 NO ONE 17 AND UNDER ADMITTED.
XX Rating is an older rating that is unified with NC-17 but may be encoded on
older movie’s data.Note:
• MPAA RATING
Example 1:
“PG-13” in the age-based rating is blocked, this
will automatically block the higher ratings “R”,
“NC-17”, “X” also.

Parent Control (V-CHIP Operation) (Continued)
• TV PARENTAL GUIDELINES (Example)
Example 1.1 : Age Based setting
Clear
V
s (block) from each "AGE" box for all ratings.
This will automatically unblock everything.
Example 1.2 : Age Based setting
For “TV-G” put a
V
in the "AGE" box. This will automatically block the
higher age ratings “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-MA” as well as “TV-G”.
Please note the content ratings “D”, “L”, “S”, “V” are automatically blocked
as well.
Example 2.1 : Content Based setting
If you choose to unblock every content-based items (“D”, “L”, “S”, “V”),
clear the
V
(block) from each “AGE” box of “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-
MA”.
Example 2.2 : Content Based setting
Put a
V
in the box corresponding to “TV-PG” (row) and “V (Violence)”
(column). This will automatically block the “V” boxes for “TV-14” and
“TV-MA”. Setting only “TV-PG-V”, “TV-14-V” or “TV-MA-V” will not block
all programs rated “TV-PG”, “TV-14” or “TV-MA”.
Example 3 : Resetting an Age Based setting
For “TV-14”, put a
V
(block) in the “AGE” box.
This will again automatically block the content ratings “D”, “L”, “S”, “V”
for “TV-MA” as well as “TV-14” (“D” is not available for “TV-MA”).
Please note that the lower age rating “TV-PG” does not change from its
previous settings after this.
Note:
• Content ratings can be modified but only in the combinations indicated by
V
in the table on page 15.
• Changing a lower age rating’s content setting to “BLOCK” automatically changes the same higher age
rating’s content setting to “BLOCK” regardless of their previous settings.
• Changing a lower rating’s “AGE” setting to “BLOCK” automatically changes all higher ratings to “BLOCK”
regardless of their previous settings.
•For “TV-Y7”, “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-MA”, if you clear the
V
in the “AGE” box (unblock) you can still
change settings based on content.
•Clearing a higher rating’s age or content setting will not clear lower settings. Make sure that all undesired
boxes are blocked.

INFORMACIÓN IMPORTANTE
Existen dos razones importantes para registrar dentro del plazo límite la garantía de su nuevo televisor
SHARP, mediante la TARJETA DE REGISTRO incluida con el aparato.
PRIMERA – GARANTÍA
Garantiza al cliente la recepción inmediata de todas las prestaciones de consumidor en cuanto a piezas, servicio
técnico y mano de obra aplicable a su adquisición.
SEGUNDA – ACTA DE SEGURIDAD DE PRODUCTOS DE CONSUMIDOR
Con el fin de garantizar al cliente la recepción puntual de cualquier notificación de seguridad sobre inspección,
modificación o cancelación que se le pueda solicitar a SHARP bajo el Acta de seguridad de productos de
consumidor de 1972. LEA CUIDADOSAMENTE LA CLÁUSULA “GARANTÍA LIMITADA” DE LA ÚLTIMA PÁGINA.
¿QUÉ ES ENERGY STAR
®
?
Los televisores y las videograbadoras utilizan energía cuando están encendidos ó apagados. Los norteamericanos
gastan más de 1 billón de dólares al año en la energía que consumen televisores y videograbadoras cuando no
se encuentran en uso. Los nuevos modelos ENERGY STAR
®
reducen esa “fuga” de energía hasta en un 75
por ciento. Esto implica más de 500 millones de dólares al año en ahorro de energía para los consumidores.
El ahorro de energía ayuda a reducir el consumo de combustibles fósiles y por tanto la contaminación por
dióxido de carbono que contribuye al calentamiento global. Si cada familia norteamericana sustituyera sus
televisores y videograbadoras por modelos ENERGY STAR
®
, se reducirían las emisiones de dióxido de carbono
en cinco millones de toneladas cada año (equivalente a eliminar la contaminación procedente de más de un
millón de automóviles).
El uso de productos ENERGY STAR
®
permite reducir el monto de las facturas de energía eléctrica y consumir
menos energía. De este modo ahorrará dinero y ayudará a proteger el medio ambiente.

ENERGY STAR
®
: QU’EST-CE QUEC’EST
Les téléviseurs et les magnétoscopes utilisent de l’énergie lorsqu’ils sont allumés et éteints. Les Américains dépensent
plus d’1 milliard de dollars par an en énergie consommée par les téléviseurs et les magnétoscopes une fois éteints. Les
nouveaux modèles ENERGY STAR
®
réduisent jusqu’à 75 % ce gaspillage d’énergie. Ce qui représente finalement
plus de 500 millions de dollars par an d’économie d’énergie pour les consommateurs.
Ces économies aident à réduire la combustion des énergies fossiles et la pollution au gaz carbonique associée, qui
contribue au réchauffement de la planète. Si toutes les familles américaines remplaçaient leurs téléviseurs et leurs
magnétoscopes par des modèles ENERGY STAR
®
, les émissions de gaz carbonique seraient réduites de cinq millions
de tonnes par an — ce qui reviendrait à éliminer la pollution émise par plus d’un million de voitures.
En utilisant les produits ENERGY STAR
®
, vous économiserez également de l’argent sur vos factures d’électricité et
vous utiliserez moins d’énergie. Un peu de bon sens économique au profit de notre environnement !

RISQUES D’ELECTROCUTION OU D’INCENDIE. Afin de ne pas détruire les protections intégrées à cet appareil,
respectez les règles de base suivantes pour son installation, son utilisation et sa maintenance.
1. Débranchez la télévision avant de la nettoyer.
2. N’utilisez pas de nettoyants liquides ou d’aérosols et utilisez un chiffon humide.
3. N’utilisez pas d’accessoires déconseillés par le fabricant de matériel vidéo, car ils impliquent des risques.
4. N’utilisez pas cette télévision à proximité d’eau — par exemple, près d’une baignoire, d’un lavabo, d’un
évier ou d’un bac à laver, dans une cave humide ou près d’une piscine, etc.
5. Ne placez pas cet équipement sur un chariot, un support ou une table instable. La télévision peut tomber
et provoquer de graves lésions à toute personne et causer de sérieux dommages à l’équipement. Utilisez
uniquement un support ou un chariot recommandé par le fabricant ou vendu avec la
télévision.
6. L’ensemble télévision-chariot doit être déplacé délicatement. Les arrêts brusques, une
force excessive et des surfaces inégales peuvent renverser l’ensemble.
7. L’installation au mur ou sur une tablette doit être réalisée conformément aux instructions
du fabricant et à l’aide d’un kit de montage approuvé par ce dernier.
8. Les fentes et les ouvertures du châssis à l’arrière ou dans la partie inférieure sont prévus pour la ventilation.
Pour garantir un fonctionnement fiable de la télévision et pour la protéger de toute surchauffe, ces ouvertures
ne doivent être ni obturées, ni recouvertes. La télévision ne doit pas être placée dans un endroit encastré
tel qu’une bibliothèque, sauf si une ventilation adéquate est prévue.
9. Les ouvertures ne doivent jamais être recouvertes par un chiffon ou autre et celles de la partie inférieure
ne doivent jamais être obturées si vous placez la télévision sur un lit, un sofa, un tapis ou toute surface
similaire. Cette télévision ne doit être placée ni à proximité d’un radiateur ou d’un registre de chaleur, ni
dessus.
10. Cette télévision doit être alimentée uniquement par le type d’alimentation électrique indiqué sur l’étiquette.
Si vous n’êtes pas sûr du type d’alimentation de votre domicile, consultez votre revendeur de télévision

PRÉCAUTIONS IMPORTANTES (Suite)
13. Respectez tous les avertissements et instructions mentionnés sur la télévision.
14. Si une antenne extérieure est raccordée à la télévision, veillez à ce que le système d’antenne soit relié à
la terre de façon à fournir une protection vis-à-vis des poussées de tension et des charges électrostatiques
accumulées. La section 810 du National Electrical Code fournit des informations relatives à une mise à la
terre correcte de la potence et de la structure portante, à une mise à la terre du fil d’entrée à une unité de
décharge d’antenne, aux dimensions des conducteurs de terre, à l’emplacement de l’unité de décharge
d’antenne, au raccordement des prises de terre ainsi qu’à leurs exigences.
15. Pour tout ajout de protection à votre télévision en cas de foudre ou lorsque elle reste en veille et inutilisée
pendant de longues périodes, débranchez-la et déconnectez l’antenne. Vous éviterez ainsi des dommages
à votre équipement suite à la foudre et des poussées de tension.
16. Un système d’antenne extérieure ne doit pas être situé à proximité de lignes aériennes ou d’autres
groupes électrogènes ou circuits électriques ou dans des emplacements où l’antenne pourrait tomber sur
ce type de lignes ou circuits. Lors de l’installation d’un système d’antenne extérieure, faites extrêmement
attention à ne pas entrer en contact avec ces lignes ou circuits, car cela pourrait vous être fatal.
17. Ne surchargez pas les prises et les prolongateurs de ligne afin d’éviter tout risque d’incendie ou
d’électrocution.
18. N’introduisez jamais d’objets à travers les fentes du châssis, car ils pourraient entrer en contact avec des
points de tension dangereux ou des pièces court-circuitées et provoquer ainsi un incendie ou une
électrocution. Ne répandez jamais de liquides sur la télévision.
19. N’essayez pas de réparer vous-même votre télévision. L’ouverture ou le retrait des capots peut vous
exposer à une tension dangereuse ou à d’autres risques. Confiez toutes les opérations de maintenance
à un personnel qualifié.
20. Lorsque vous êtes confronté aux situations suivantes, débranchez la télévision et confiez toutes les
opérations de maintenance à un personnel qualifié :
A. lorsque le cordon d’alimentation ou la fiche est endommagé ou effiloché ;
B. si du liquide a été répandu sur/dans la télévision ;
C. si la télévision a été exposée à la pluie ou à l’eau ;
D. si la télévision ne fonctionne pas normalement même en respectant le mode d’emploi. Réglez
uniquement les commandes abordées par le mode d’emploi. Des réglages inappropriés d’autres
commandes peuvent occasionner des dommages et nécessiteront ensuite, dans la plupart des cas,
une intervention plus importante d’un technicien qualifié pour que la télévision fonctionne
normalement ;
E. si la télévision a été renversée ou que le châssis est endommagé ;
F. lorsque la télévision présente une altération visible des performances — cela indique un besoin de
maintenance.
21. Pour toute maintenance ou réparation de la télévision, demandez au technicien de réaliser des contrôles
de sécurité classiques afin de déterminer si la télévision est en bon état de marche.
22. Lorsqu’un remplacement de pièces se révèle nécessaire, veillez à ce que le technicien utilise des pièces
de rechange spécifiées par le fabricant et qu’elles aient les mêmes caractéristiques que la pièce d’origine.
Des remplacements non autorisés peuvent occasionner un incendie, une électrocution ou d’autres risques.

The limited warranty described herein is in addition to whatever implied warranties may be granted to
purchasers by law. ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR USE ARE LIMITED TO THE PERIOD(S) FROM THE DATE

be liable or in any way responsible, for any damages or defects in the Product which were caused by
repairs or attempted repairs performed by anyone other than an authorized servicer. Nor shall Sharp be
liable or in any way responsible for any incidental or consequential economic or property damage.
Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages, so that above exclusion
may not apply to you.
