wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the

like.

• Stand — Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Placing the

product on an unstable base can cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal

injuries as well as damage to the product. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table

recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. When mounting the product on

a wall, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Use only the mounting hardware

recommended by the manufacturer.

• Ventilation — The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do

not cover or block these vents and openings since insufficient ventilation can cause

overheating and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not place the product on a bed, sofa,

rug or other similar surface, since they can block ventilation openings. This product is not

designed for built-in installation; do not place the product in an enclosed place such as a

bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions are

followed.

• The Liquid Crystal panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when

the product is dropped or applied with impact. Be careful not to be injured by broken glass

pieces in case the panel breaks.

• The Liquid Crystal panel is a very high technology product with 3,147,264 thin film transistors, giving you fine picture

that this does not affect the performance of your product.

Precautions when transporting the TV

When transporting the TV, never carry it by holding onto the speaker. Be sure to always carry the TV by two people

holding it with two hands—one hand on each side of the TV.

• Heat — The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat

registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

• Lightning — 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.

• Power Lines — 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Outdoor Antenna Grounding — 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.

Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of

Closed Captions and Digital Closed

Captions

• Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption

decoder. It allows you to view conversations,

narration and sound effects as subtitles on your TV.

Closed Captions are available on some TV programs,

and on some VHS home video tapes, at the election

of the program provider.

• Digital Closed Caption service is a new caption

service available only on digital TV programs (also

at the election of the service provider). It is a more

flexible system than the original Closed Caption

system, because it allows a variety of caption sizes

and font styles. When the Digital Closed Caption

service is in use, it will be indicated by appearance

of a 3-letter abbreviation that also indicates the

language of the Digital Closed Captions: ENG

(English) or SPA (Spanish) or FRA (French), or other

language codes.

• Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed

caption. Please look for the “N” symbol to ensure

that captions will be shown.

• In the Closed Caption system, there can be more

than one caption service provided. Each is identified

by its own number. The “CC1” and “CC2” services

display subtitles of TV programs superimposed over

the program’s picture.

• In the Closed Caption system, the “Text1” or “Text2”

services display text that is unrelated to the program

being viewed (e.g., weather or news). These

services are also superimposed over the program

currently being viewed.

Closed Caption

information

Press CC.

• This will present the Closed Caption information

display.

Press CC while the Closed Caption

information is still on the screen.

• Press repeatedly until you select a closed

caption service which you prefer.

• Depending on the number of caption services

in the signal being received, you will see

information such as 1/2 or 1/4 displayed.

1/2 means “the first of two services”.

Example:

If a program has three services (Digital

CC(ENG), CC1 and Text1), the closed caption

display will toggle in this sequence:

1/3 ENG 2/3 CC1 3/3 Text1 OFF

• The CC button keeps a record of the last service

selected in its memory.

If the last closed caption mode (e.g. 1/3ENG)

you selected is not available for the next

program, or on another channel, the closed

caption service that is available is automatically

selected, and this service appears in

parentheses, e.g.1/3(CC1).

Closed caption services that appear in

parentheses will not be recorded in the CC

button’s memory as your last selected service.

Only services that you have selected with the

CC button are recorded.

Examples:

In a case where there are two closed caption

services provided, (for instance, Digital CC(ENG)

and CC1), and Digital CC(ENG) is displayed as

your current selection, if Digital CC(ENG) is not

broadcast for the next program, the other closed

caption service, CC1, will be displayed in

parentheses.

A closed caption service appears in parentheses

because the service you selected is not available

and a different service is displayed on your

screen. “1/1(CC1)” is displayed instead of “1/2/

ENG”.

NOTE

• See page 44 to 46 for detailed closed caption settings.

• When using Freeze functions, closed captions will not be

displayed on the right-most screen (still image).

• When the program contains no closed caption, “--”

displays in the closed caption information.

• If the language code, e.g. “ENG”, is not found on Digital

TV programs, “--” will be shown.

• Four kinds of closed caption service (CC1, CC2, Text1,

Text2) are potentially available, but a broadcast may

contain none, or only some of these services, at the

election of the program provider.

Parental control (setting V-CHIP level)

V-CHIP is an electronic filtering device built into your TV. This tool gives parents a great degree of control over

broadcasts accessed by their children. It allows parents to select programs judged suitable for child viewing

while blocking ones judged not suitable. It does so automatically once you activate the V-CHIP feature in your

TV.

“V-Chip” and “Status” will not be selectable from the menu if you do not first configure your secret

number. (See page 46 for Secret number setting for parental control.)

• The U.S. has two rating systems for viewing content: TV Parental Guidelines and movie ratings.

• The TV Parental Guidelines work in conjunction with the V-CHIP to help parents screen out inappropriate

television shows from their children.

• Movie ratings are used for original movies rated by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) as

watched on cable TV and not edited for television. The V-CHIP can also be set to block MPAA-rated movies.

Canadian Rating Systems

• The TV rating systems in Canada are based on the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications

Commission (CRTC) policy on violence in television programming.

• While violence is the most important content element to be rated, the structure developed takes into

consideration other program content like language, nudity, sexuality and mature themes.

• When setting the V-CHIP on the Canadian system you can choose either the Canadian English ratings or the

Canadian French ratings.

Rating

Age

Exempt: Includes news, sports, documentaries and other information programming; talk

shows, music videos, and variety programming.

Children: Intended for younger children under the age of 8 years. Pays careful attention to

themes that could threaten their sense of security and well-being.

Children over 8 years old: Contains no portrayal of violence as the preferred, acceptable,

or only way to resolve conflict; nor encourage children to imitate dangerous acts which

they may see on the screen.

General: Considered acceptable for all age groups. Appropriate viewing for the entire

family, contains very little violence, physical, verbal or emotional.

Parental Guidance: Intended for a general audience, but may not be suitable for younger

children (under the age of 8) because it could contain controversial themes or issues.

Over 14 Years: Could contain themes where violence is one of the dominant elements of

the storyline, but it must be integral to the development of plot or character. Language

usage could be profane and nudity present within the context of the theme.

Adults: Intended for viewers 18 years and older and might contain depictions of violence,

which while related to the development of plot, character or themes, are intended for adult

viewing. Could contain graphic language and portrayals of sex and nudity.

CAUTION

• Do not remove the stand from the TV unless using an optional wall mount bracket to mount it.

Before attaching/detaching stand

• Before performing work make sure to turn off the TV.

• Before performing work spread cushioning over the base area to lay the TV on. This will prevent it from being

damaged.

NOTE

• To attach the stand, perform the above steps in reverse order.

• Installing the TV requires special skill that should only be performed by qualified service personnel. Customers

should not attempt to do the work themselves. SHARP bears no responsibility for improper mounting or mounting

that results in accident or injury.

Using an optional bracket to mount the TV

• You can ask a qualified service professional about using an optional bracket to mount the TV to the wall.

• Carefully read the instructions that come with the bracket before beginning work.

Problem Possible Solution

• Check if you pressed TV POWER on the remote control unit. (See page 14.)

If the indicator on the TV does not light up, press TV POWER on the remote

control unit.

• Is the AC cord disconnected? (See page 6.)

• Has the power been turned on? (See page 14.)

• External influences such as lightning, static electricity, may cause improper

operation. In this case, operate the unit after first turning on the power of the TV

or unplugging the AC cord and replugging it in after 1 or 2 minutes.

• Is the FUNCTION set correctly? Set it to the TV setting position.

• Are batteries inserted with polarity (e, f) aligned? (See page 7.)

• Are batteries worn out? (Replace with new batteries.)

• Are you using it under strong or fluorescent lighting?

• Is a fluorescent light illuminated near the remote control sensor?

• Is the image position correct? (See page 35.)

• Are screen mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly? (See pages

39 and 40)

• Adjust the picture tone. (See pages 23 to 25.)

• Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright.

• Check the input signal setting. (See page 41.)

• Is the sleep timer set? (See page 42.)

• Check the power control settings. (See page 27.)

• The unit’s internal temperature has increased.

Remove any objects blocking vent or clean.

• Is connection to other components correct? (See pages 30 to 34.)

• Is correct input signal source selected after connection? (See page 37.)

• Is the correct input selected? (See page 37.)

• Is a non-compatible signal being input? (See page 58.)

• Is “On” selected in “Audio Only”? (See page 41.)

• Is the volume too low? (See page 17.)

• Is “Variable” selected in “Output Select”? (See page 42.)

Troubleshooting

Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments

• When the unit is used in a low temperature space (e.g. room, office), the picture may leave trails or appear slightly

delayed. This is not a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperature returns to normal.

• Do not leave the unit in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight or near

a heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform and the Liquid Crystal panel to malfunction.

Storage temperature: –4°F to +140°F (–20°C to +60°C)
