read the following precautions carefully before using the product.  
I Read instructions—All operating instructions must be read and understood before the product is  
operated.  
I Keep this manual in a safe place—These safety and operating instructions must be kept in a  
safe place for future reference.  
I Observe warnings—All warnings on the product and in the instructions must be observed  
closely.  
I Follow instructions—All operating instructions must be followed.  
I Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of inad-  
equate attachments can result in accidents.  
I Power source—This product must operate on a power source specified on the specification  
label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply used in your home, consult your dealer or  
local power company. For units designed to operate on batteries or another power source, refer  
to the operating instructions.  
I Power cord protection—The power cords must be routed properly to prevent people from  
stepping on them or objects from resting on them. Check the cords at the plugs and product.  
I If the AC adapter is misplaced or needs to be replaced, obtain the same type of adapter from a  
SHARP service center or your dealer.  
I Overloading—Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords.  
Overloading can cause fire or electric shock.  
I Entering of objects and liquids—Never insert an object into the product through vents or open-  
ings. High voltage flows in the product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock and/or  
short internal parts. For the same reason, do not spill water or liquid on the product.  
I Servicing—Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to  
high voltage and other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified service person to perform  
servicing.  
I Repair—If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, and  
request a qualified service person to perform repairs.  
a.When the power cord or plug is damaged.  
b.When a liquid was spilled on the product or when objects have fallen into the product.  
c.When the product has been exposed to rain or water.  
d.When the product does not operate properly as described in the operating instructions.  
Do not touch the controls other than those described in the operating instructions. Improper  
adjustment of controls not described in the instructions can cause damage, which often  
requires extensive adjustment work by a qualified technician.  
e.When the product has been dropped or damaged.  
f. When the product displays an abnormal condition. Any noticeable abnormality in the product  
indicates that the product needs servicing.  
I Replacement parts—In case the product needs replacement parts, make sure that the service  
person uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer, or those with the same character-  
istics and performance as the original parts. Use of unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric  
shock and/or other danger.  
I Safety checks—Upon completion of service or repair work, request the service technician to  
perform safety checks to ensure that the product is in proper operating condition.  
I Wall or ceiling mounting—When mounting the product on a wall or ceiling, be sure to install the  
product according to the method recommended by the manufacturer.  
I Polarization—This AC adapter may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a  
plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.  
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the  
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.  
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued)  
I 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 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.

I Lightning For added protection for this television equipment  
during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and  
unused for long period 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.  
I 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.  
I To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or naked  
flames on the top or near the TV set.  
I To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this product  
to dripping or splashing. No objects filled with liquids, such  
as vases, should be placed on the product.

PREPARATION (Continued)  
Antenna Connection  
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).  
75-ohm coaxial cable (round)  
2. A 300-ohm system is a flat twin-leadcable that can be  
attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300-75-ohm  
adapter (not supplied).  
300-ohm twin-lead cable (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 antennas  
Connect the outdoor antenna cable lead-in to ANT. (Antenna terminal) on the rear of the TV set.

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 ANT. terminal.  
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 to 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: An RF switch provided with two inputs (A and B) is required (not supplied).  
Aposition on the RF switch (not supplied): You can view all unscrambled channels by using the TVs  
channel keys.  
Bposition on the RF switch (not supplied): You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/  
descrambler by using the converters channel keys.

Adjusting CLOSED CAPTION Settings  
I SETTING CLOSED CAPTION  
This TV set is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder. Closed Captionis  
a system which allows conversations, narration, and sound effects in TV programs  
and home videos to be viewed as captions on the TV screen (see the illustration).  
Not all programs and videos will offer closed captioning. Please look for the “  
symbol to ensure that captions will be shown.  
The Closed Caption broadcasts 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 a clear view of the picture.  
The TEXT mode displays various information over the picture (such as TV program  
schedules and weather forecasts, etc.) that is independent of the TV programs.

If a broadcast contains Closed Caption data and MUTE 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.  
If no TEXT broadcast is being received while viewing in the TEXT mode, the screen may become blank for some  
programs. Should this occur, switch the Closed Caption mode to OFF.

I V-CHIP  
This function allows TV programs to be restricted and TV usage to be controlled based on FCC data. It prevents  
children from watching violent or sexual scenes that may be harmful.  
Restriction of TV programs includes two ratings that contain information about the program: the MPAA rating and  
the TV Parental Guidelines. The MPAA rating is restricted by age. TV Parental Guidelines are restricted by age  
and content.  
Since a TV program may use either the MPAA rating or the TV Guidelines, both should be adjusted for complete  
control.

Example 1:  
When TV-Y7 in the age-based rating is set to BLOCK, this will automatically block the higher ratings:TV-G, TV-PG, TV-14  
and TV-MA. In addition, D, L, S, V and FV in CONTENT are automatically blocked unless you manually set BLOCK  
CONTENT.  
Example 2:  
When no item in the age-based rating is blocked, D in the content-based rating will be automatically blocked.

CONNECTING EXTERNAL DEVICES  
You can enjoy picture and sound by connecting a VCR or a home video game system to the terminals  
located on the rear of the TV set.  
When connecting an external device, turn off the power of the main unit first to prevent any possible  
damage.  
Example of external devices that can be connected  
To AV-IN1 terminal  
To AV-IN2 terminal  
<Example>  
Camcorder  
<Example>  
VCR  
Home video game system  
Laser disc player  
* If your external device has an S-video  
terminal, S-VIDEO connection is recom-  
mended.  
To COMPONENT terminal  
<Example>  
DVD Player, etc.  
Playback from 480 progressive output  
for DVD and DTV is available.  
* If your external device has a component  
terminal, COMPONENT connection is recom-  
mended (you can view high-quality pictures).  
A
PC connection is not possible.  
For the cable, use a commercially available audio/video cable.  
Only connect audio/video signals to AV-IN1 and 2 terminals. Connecting other signals may result in a malfunction.  
AV-IN1 has 2 video input terminals: VIDEO and S-VIDEO. When you connect external devices to both terminals  
(and if you select AV-IN1), you can only view pictures from the S-VIDEO terminal. To view the picture from the  
VIDEO terminal, do not connect any external device to the S-VIDEO terminal.  
For more information about external device connections, see the manuals of your external devices.  
If HDTV (720P/1080I) signals are input to the COMPONENT terminals, NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THIS SIGNAL”  
will appear and playback cannot be viewed.

Antenna  
Problem  
Check item  
The reception may be weak.  
The quality of the broadcast may also be bad.  
Make sure the antenna is facing the right direction.  
Make sure the outside antenna is connected.  
The picture is  
not sharp.  
The picture  
moves.

voltage lines, neon lights, etc.  
There may be interference between the antenna cable and AC  
cord. Try positioning them further apart.  
The picture is  
spotted.  
Is the unit receiving interference from other devices?  
Transmission antennas of radio broadcasting stations, transmis-  
sion antennas of amateur radios and cellular phones may also  
cause interference.  
Use the unit as far apart as possible from devices that may  
cause possible interference.  
There are  
stripes on the  
screen or  
colors fade.  
I 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 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 LCD panel to malfunction.  
Storage temperature: 4°F to +140°F (20°C to +60°C)
