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 this

TV set.

Power

Your TV operates on 120 Volts, 60 Hertz (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 will not 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 either the TV or the radio.

• If you are listening to an AM broadcast, turn the TV off. AM broadcast signals may not be

received due to the interference of the TV.

Before using the television, prepare the Remote Control

To use the remote control, insert batteries first.

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:

F-type connector

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.

75-ohm coaxial

cable (round)

300-ohm

2. A 300 ohm system is a flat “twin-lead” cable that can

twin-lead cable

be attached to a 75 ohm terminal through a 300-75

ohm ADAPTOR (not supplied).

(flat)

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

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.

HOW TO SET CLOSED CAPTION

• YourTV 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.

PERSONAL PREFERENCE

• Closed Caption broadcast can be viewed in two modes: CAPTION

VOLUME

(+)/(–)

andTEXT. For each mode, two channels are available, CH1 and CH2:

VOL

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.

may become dark and blank. Should this occur, set 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.

rating and the TV Parental Guidelines. MPAAis 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.

Operation of Remote Control

“Identifying” Remote VCR and Cable TV

Converters

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.

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.

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:

Using Your Remote Control With A VCR

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.

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.

Using Your Remote With Your TV

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 (8) or DOWN (9) on the Remote

Control, it is in the TV position.)

HOW TO IDENTIFY A VCR

Some brands have more than one remote

code listed, due to changes in the remote

codes from early to later model years, or due

to format differences (VHS/BETA). In such

cases, you may have to try more than one code

necessary.

(1) Point remote towards VCR and press VCR

POWER.

(2) Does the remote turn the VCR ON and OFF?

• If yes, the remote is ready to operate the VCR

and no further steps are needed.

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 (8) 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.

The limited warranty described herein is in addition to whatever implied warranties may be granted to

purchasers by law. ALLIMPLIED WARRANTIES INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY

AND FITNESS FOR USE ARE LIMITED TO THE PERIOD(S) FROM THE DATE OF PURCHASE SET

FORTH BELOW. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above

limitation may not apply to you.

Neither the sales personnel of the seller nor any other person is authorized to make any warranties other

than those described herein, or to extend the duration of any warranties beyond the time period described

herein on behalf of Sharp.

The warranties described herein shall be the sole and exclusive warranties granted by Sharp and shall be

the sole and exclusive remedy available to the purchaser. Correction of defects, in the manner and for the

period of time described herein, shall constitute complete fulfillment of all liabilities and responsibilities of

Sharp to the purchaser with respect to the Product, and shall constitute full satisfaction of all claims, whether

based on contract, negligence, strict liability or otherwise. In no event shall Sharp 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.

THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS. YOU MAYALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH
