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.

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT

EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO WET LOCATIONS.

Model No.:

Serial No.:

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.”

There are two important reasons for prompt warranty registration of your new SHARP television set,

using 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.

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:

OUTDOOR ANTENNA CONNECTION

• Use one of the following two diagrams if you connect 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 COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR on the rear

of the TV set.

Antenna Connections

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). The F-type connector

should be finger tightened only.

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.

L HOW TO SET CLOSED CAPTION

• Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder. “Closed

Caption” is a system which allows you to view conversations,

narration, and sound effects in TV programs and home videos as

subscript on your TV screen as shown on the right.

• Not all the programs and videos will offer closed caption. 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 subscripts dialogues 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.

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.

X X Rating is an older rating that is unified with NC-17 but may be encoded on

older movie’s data.Note:

• MPAA RATING (Example)

Example 1.

“PG-13” in the age-based RATING is blocked.

This will automatically block the high ratings “R”,

“NC-17” and “X” also.

age

• If a broadcast has 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 set.

• If any button is pressed to call up the ON SCREEN DISPLAY while viewing a CLOSED CAPTION

broadcast, the closed captions will disappear momentarily.

• When viewing in TEXT mode, if no TEXT broadcast is being received, for some programs the screen

may become dark and blank. Should this occur, set the Closed Caption mode to “OFF”.

NOTE:

• Content ratings can be modified but only in the combinations indicated by “” in the table on

page 16.

• 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.

• Any rating's "AGE" set to unblocked (“– – – –”) must have its content settings individually set.

TV set which in turn saves you money and minimizes the

impact on the environment. When this feature is turned on, it

reduces the brightness of the TV to a level that consumes

approximately 20 percent less energy than when the feature

is turned off.

The reduction in brightness will be less noticeable under low

room lighting conditions.

Operation of Remote Control

L “Identifying” Remote VCR and Cable TV

Converters

Your Remote Control has been set at the

factory to operate your TV and many remote

control VCRs and Cable Converters. However,

in some cases an easy one-time set-up step

may be necessary before the Remote will

operate accessory VCRs and Cable

Converters.

• In this set-up step, the Remote locates and

memorizes the remote control transmitter code

for the VCR or Cable Converter.

• Once “identified”, the Remote sends the proper

remote signals to operate your accessory.

• This identify step will not have to be repeated

until power to the Remote is interrupted due

to a battery failure.

L Using Your Remote Control With A VCR

Once you make certain the Remote Control

has “identified” your remote controlled VCR,

the Remote Control is ready to operate your

unit. The various VCR function buttons on the

Remote Control will not operate your VCR

if those features are not already found on

your unit.

• All VCR buttons will operate whether the

Remote Control is in TV or CATV modes.

• For detailed information on the use of the VCR,

refer to the operation manual of the VCR.

L Universal Remote Control

With the purchase of your television set you

also have received the latest innovation in

remote control technology. With its easy-to-

use push button keyboard, your Remote can

control your television set and most infrared

remote controlled VCRs and cable TV

converters as well.

NOTE:

• Depending on the model, year produced,

brand and type of VCR, some models may

not be compatible with the remote control.

• Some brands of VCR or Cable TV converter

Box may not enable channel selection until

the ENTER is pressed.

Example:

When you select channel 24,

(1) Press REMOTE KEYPAD “2”.

(2) Press REMOTE KEYPAD “4”.

(3) Press ENTER.

For detailed information on the use of the VCR

or Cable TV converter Box refer to their

operating manuals.

After installing the batteries, set the

TV-CATV

on the remote to the TV position. (If you can

change the channel of the TV by pressing

CH UP

(

) or

TIPS ON IDENTIFYING YOUR VCR:

If your VCR model does not have the CHANNEL

UP function on its remote control, it cannot be

identified using the SEARCH method of identifying.

For such models, please try the DIRECT ENTRY

method of identifying.

Be Patient: a minute or two can seem a lot longer

when you’re waiting for something to happen, but

the code should be identified within two minutes.

Remember, it is only a one-time set-up.

Be careful not to let the VCR scan more than five

channels when the indicator starts to move up.

If you continue holding down the

DISPLAY

and

CH UP (

)

after five channel scans, the proper

remote code can be passed up, and the two minute

identify cycle will have to be repeated.

If a channel change does not occur on the VCR

within two minutes, read the identifying instructions

again and repeat the steps. Should a channel

change still not occur the remote will not operate

with the desired VCR.

L HOW TO IDENTIFY A CABLE CONVERTER

L To Identify Your Cable Converter – Direct

Entry Method.

Use the following steps and list to quickly find

the remote control code for your cable TV

converter.

• First look up your converter’s remote code

number before going through the direct code

entry steps below.

• If this procedure does not identify your

converter, use the Search method of

identification (described in the next section).

not be compatible with the remote control.

L To Identify Your Cable Converter – Search

Method.

TIPS ON IDENTIFYING YOUR CABLE

CONVERTER:

Be Patient: a minute or two can seem a lot

longer when you’re waiting for something to

happen, but the code should be identified

within two minutes. Remember, it is only a

one-time set-up.

Be careful not to let the CATV converter scan

more than five channels when the indicator

starts to move up. If you continue holding down

the

DISPLAY

and

CH UP (

)

after five channel

scans, the proper remote code can be passed

up, and the two minute identify cycle will have

to be repeated.

If a channel change does not occur on the cable

converter within two minutes, read the

identifying instructions again and repeat the

steps. Should a channel change still not occur,

the remote will not operate with the desired

converter.
