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.

Model No.:

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

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

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

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 m/, terminals with the m/, marks inside the

compartment.

Before Operating Your Television

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).

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.

• 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.

• TV PARENTAL GUIDELINES (Example)

Example 1.1 : Age Based setting

Clear

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

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

(block) from each “AGE” box of “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-

MA”.

Example 2.2 : Content Based setting

Put a

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

(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

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

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 !

AVERTISSEMENT:

POUR REDUIRE LE RISQUE D’INCENDIE OU D’ELECTROCUTION,

N’EXPOSEZ PAS CET EQUIPEMENT A DES ENDROITS TRES HUMIDES.

ATTENTION : POUR REDUIRE LE RISQUE

PRÉCAUTIONS IMPORTANTES

ATTENTION : Veuillez lire toutes ces instructions avant d’utiliser votre télévision et conservez-

les pour un usage ultérieur.

L’énergie électrique peut exécuter de nombreuses fonctions utiles. Cet appareil a été conçu et fabriqué de façon

à garantir votre entière sécurité. CEPENDANT, TOUTE UTILISATION INADEQUATE PEUT ENTRAINER DES

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.

ou la compagnie d’électricité locale (EDF en France).

Pour la télévision conçue pour fonctionner sur batterie, reportez-vous au mode d’emploi.

11. Du point de vue de la sécurité, la télévision est équipée d’une fiche polarisée à 2 fils (une lame plus

importante que l’autre). La fiche polarisée à 2 fils ne pénètre dans la prise électrique que dans un seul

sens.

Si la fiche ne correspond pas à la prise, demandez à votre électricien de remplacer la prise, elle doit être

obsolète. Ne modifiez pas la fiche et ne désactivez pas cette fonction de sécurité.

12. Ne posez rien sur le cordon d’alimentation. Ne placez pas la télévision dans un emplacement où le

cordon d’alimentation est susceptible d’être endommagé par le passage répété de personnes.

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.

SPANISH is on page 37–41. FRENCH is on page 42–46. A542 WJ 1 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. 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. Model No.: Serial No.: 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. REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT WARNING: TO EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO WET LOCATIONS. 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. 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 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.” 2 IMPORTANT INFORMATION (Continued) WARNING – FCC Regulations state that any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. PRODUCT DISPOSAL This product utilizes a Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) containing lead and tin-lead solder. Disposal of these materials may be regulated due to environment considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or the Electronics Industries Alliance: www.eiae.org CAUTION: Do not place the AC power cord under the TV set or other heavy items. IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS CAUTION: Please read all of these instructions before you operate your television and save these instructions for later use. Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This unit has been engineered and manufactured to assure your personal safety. BUT IMPROPER USE CAN RESULT IN POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARDS. In order not to defeat the safeguards incorporated in this equipment, observe the following basic rules for its installation, use and servicing. 1. Unplug this television equipment from the wall outlet before cleaning. 2. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. 3. Do not use attachments not recommended by the television equipment manufacturer as they may cause hazards. 4. Do not use this television equipment near water — for example, near a bath tub, washbowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc. 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 insure reliable operation of the television equipment and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. This television equipment should not be placed in a built-in insulation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided. 9. The openings should never be covered with a cloth or other material, and the bottom openings should not be blocked by placing the television equipment on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This television equipment should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. 10. This television equipment should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your television dealer or local power company. For television equipment designed to operate from battery power, refer to the operating instructions. 11. As a safety feature, television equipment is equipped with a 2-wire polarized plug (one plug blade bigger than the other). The 2-wire polarized plug will fit only one way into the power outlet. If the plug does not fit, ask your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not modify the plug and defeat this safety feature. 12. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this television equipment where the cord will be abused by persons walking on it. 3 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. EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE ANTENNA LEAD IN WIRE GROUND CLAMP ELECTRIC SERVICE EQUIPMENT NEC—NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE ANTENNA DISCHARGE UNIT (NEC SECTION 810-20) GROUNDING CONDUCTORS (NEC SECTION 810-21) GROUND CLAMPS POWER SERVICE GROUNDING ELECTRODE SYSTEM (NEC ART 250, PART H) 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. 4 TV Supplied Accessories Size AA Dry Batteries Infrared Remote Control RRMCG1324CESA Before Operating Your Television 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. Note: • 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 Pull up Battery Cover • 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 m/, terminals with the m/, marks inside the compartment. Antenna Connections 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: 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). F-type connector 75-ohm coaxial cable (round) 300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat) 5 Antenna Connections (Continued) 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. A.

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.

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 2 Press MENU to access the MAIN MENU screen.

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.

N° de modelo : N° de serie : 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.

LISEZ ATTENTIVEMENT LE PARAGRAPHE «GARANTIE LIMITEE» DE LA DERNIÈRE PAGE. 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 ! AVERTISSEMENT: POUR REDUIRE LE RISQUE D’INCENDIE OU D’ELECTROCUTION, N’EXPOSEZ PAS CET EQUIPEMENT A DES ENDROITS TRES HUMIDES.

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. EXEMPLE DE MISE À LA TERRE D’UNE ANTENNE SELON LE CODE NATIONAL DE L’ÉLECTRICITÉ DESCENTE D’ANTENNE COLLIER DE MISE À LA TERRE BOÎTIER DE LA COMPAGNIE D’ÉLECTRICITÉ NEC – CODE NATIONAL DE L’ÉLECTRICITÉ UNITÉ DE DÉCHARGE D’ANTENNE (NEC SECTION 810-20) CONDUCTEURS DE TERRE (NEC SECTION 810-21) COLLIERS DE MISE À LA TERRE ÉLECTRODE DE TERRE DE LA COMPAGNIE D’ÉLECTRICITÉ (NEC ART. 250, PARTIE H) 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. 44 Référence rapide sur les commandes • Nomenclature (FRANÇAIS) PRISÉS D’ENTRÉE VIDÉO/ AUDIO IN 2 Panneau Avant ALIMENTATION (POWER) Appuyer → Pour mettre sous tension.
