Connecting D-VHS decks/AV-HDD

recorder/Blu-ray Disc recorder

(i.LINK connection)

Using external equipment

About i.LINK

i.LINK is an interface connection using a serial

transfer system and is able to transfer multimedia

data, such as digital images and digital sound,

between devices that have i.LINK terminals.

i.LINK is a term defined in the IEEE1394 (Institute of

Electrical and Electronics Engineers) standard.

Currently, the transfer speeds are at 100 Mbps, 200

Mbps and 400 Mbps, each of them expressed as

S100, S200 and S400 respectively. On this TV, the

maximum speed is 400 Mbps.

i. LINK devices that can be connected to this

TV.

Only D-VHS decks, AV-HDD recorders and Blu-ray

Disc recorders can be connected to this TV via

i.LINK. Other devices such as DVD recorders, digital

video cameras, computers or computer peripheral

devices do not meet the specifications for this TV

and therefore cannot be connected via i.LINK.

Even for the types of i.LINK device mentioned above,

device recognition, control, recording and playback

operations may not be possible on some devices.

Materials that can be recorded with the i.LINK

Only digital programs can be recorded by i.LINK

devices connected to this TV using the i.LINK. i.LINK

recording is not compatible with analog broadcasts

or external input signals (INPUT terminals 1 through

5).

i.LINK connection

Only an i.LINK cable is

needed to connect the TV

to i.LINK devices.

(VIDEO, S-VIDEO, and

AUDIO terminals need not

be connected.)

i.LINK device

Connecting two or more i.LINK devices

Up to 16 i.LINK devices can be connected using a

daisy-chain connection with i.LINK cables.

When 3 or more i.LINK devices are connected,

branch connection can be used. With branch

connections, up to 62 i.LINK devices can be

connected.

Cautions regarding i.LINK connection

• Please use S400 type i.LINK cables.

• Some i.LINK devices may not relay data if their power

is off. In this case the device should be connected

at the end of any series of connections.

• This TV can relay data during power off, by selecting

“Active” in the “Standby Mode” option in “i.LINK

Setup”. (See page 39.)

• Please do NOT use a loop connection as shown in

the diagram.

• When using the i.LINK, do not turn off the power of,

or pull the cable from i.LINK devices, even if that

i.LINK devices is not in use. This may affect the

picture and the sound from an i.LINK device in use.

• If devices such as a DVD recorders, digital video

cameras, computers and computer peripheral

devices which are not compatible with this TV, are

connected to the TV using i.LINK, other i.LINK

connections may be disrupted.

• When device recognition, control, recording or play

back, on an i.LINK connected device does not

function correctly, correct operation may be restored

by disconnecting and reconnecting the i.LINK cable.

• When connecting multiple i.LINK devices, depending

on the specifications and the interoperability of the

connected devices, their operation may not be stable.

In that case, disconnecting all devices not in use

and changing the method of connection may result

in stable operation.

NOTE

• Please make sure the

shapes of the terminal

and the plug match,

and insert the plug into

the terminal straight,

not on an angle.

• Use either one of the

terminals. These two

terminals do not differ

in quality or function.

indicates the language of the Digital Closed

Captions: ENG (English), SPA (Spanish), FRA

(French) or other language codes.

• Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed

captions. 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 the desired

closed caption service.

• 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 stored in the CC button’s

memory as your last selected service. Only

services that you have selected with the CC

button are stored.

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 53 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

discretion 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

Liquid Crystal Television.

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

number. (See page 54 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

C8e

14e

18e

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.

Notice

■ When you change your address

• If you change your address, please return the

CableCARD security module to your Cable Provider

Company.

• You will need to request a new CableCARD security

module from the cable provider at your new location.

■ About EAS (Emergency Alert System)

• In the case of a national emergency, natural disaster,

or other emergency situation, Cable MSO will

broadcast an Emergency Alert Message (EAS

message). When this unit receives an EAS message,

if the level of emergency is comparatively low, an

alert text message will be displayed on screen. If

the level of emergency is high, the receiver will be

force tuned to a details channel.

• Alert text messages will be displayed, and force

tuning will occur, even during paid programming.

Even when force tuning is active, the user can still

change the channel.

• If the unit is force tuned to a channel that has been

blocked by Parental Control, the Parental Control

setting will be given priority.

NOTE

• If you have a digital cable antenna connected, you can

receive EAS messages whether CableCARD security

module inserted or not.

• EAS messages may be broadcast not only via digital

cable, but also via Analog Cable or over-the-air Analog

transmission.

• When force tuning occurs, Video output from the

MONITOR OUT terminal will also be switched to the

details channel.

• An alert text message does not output from MONITOR

OUT terminal.

CAUTION

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

• Since the TV is very heavy, use two or more people to move 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.

Setting the TV on the wall

CAUTION

• Installing the Liquid Crystal Television 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 AN-65AG1 bracket to mount the TV to

the wall.

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

Unfasten the four screws used to secure the bracket in

place.

Detach the stand from the TV. (Hold the stand so it will

not drop from the edge of the base area.)

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)
