DEAR SHARP CUSTOMER  
Thank you for your purchase of the Sharp LCD Color TV product. To ensure safety and  
many years of trouble-free operation of your product, please read the Safety Precau-  
tions carefully before using this product.  
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS  
Electricity is used to perform many useful functions, but it can also cause personal injuries and property  
damage if improperly handled. This product has been engineered and manufactured with the highest  
priority on safety. However, improper use can result in electric shock and/or fire. In order to prevent  
potential danger, please observe the following instructions when installing, operating and cleaning the  
product. To ensure your safety and prolong the service life of your LCD color TV product, please 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 Cleaning—Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before  
cleaning the product. Use a damp cloth to clean the product.  
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.  
I Water and moisture—Do not use the product near water,  
such as bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink and laundry tub,  
swimming pool and in a wet basement.  
I 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.  
I When relocating the product placed on a cart, it must be  
moved with utmost care. Sudden stops, excessive force and  
uneven floor surface can cause the product to fall from the  
cart.  
I 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.  
I
The LCD 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 LCD panel breaks.  
I Heat sources—Keep the product away from heat sources  
such as radiators, heaters, stoves and other heat-generating  
products (including amplifiers).  
The LCD panel is a very high technology product with 921,600 thin film transistors, giving you fine  
picture details.  
Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red.  
Please note that this does not affect the performance of your product.

PREPARATION  
Preparing and Using the Remote Control  
I Use the remote control by pointing it towards the remote sensor window.  
Objects between the remote control and sensor window may prevent  
proper operation.  
Cautions regarding use of remote control  
I Do not expose the remote control to shock.  
In addition, do not expose the remote control to liquids, and do not place  
in an area with high humidity.  
I Do not install or place the remote control under direct sunlight.  
The heat may cause deformation of the unit.  
I The remote control may not work properly if the remote sensor window  
of the main unit is under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such case,  
change the angle of the lighting or LCD TV set, or operate the remote  
control closer to the remote sensor window.  
Batteries for Remote Control  
If the remote control fails to operate LCD color TV functions, replace the batteries in the remote  
control.

supplied with product).  
I Slide the cover while  
pressing down.  
I Place batteries with their  
terminals corresponding to  
the (+) and () indications  
in the battery compartment.  
Caution!  
Cautions regarding batteries  
Improper use of batteries can result in a leakage of chemicals and/or explosion. Be sure to follow the  
instructions below.  
Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (+) and () indications.  
Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not mix batteries of different types.  
Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new  
batteries and/or cause old batteries to leak chemicals.  
Remove batteries as soon as they are non-operable.  
Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If chemical leakage is found, wipe with a  
cloth.  
The batteries supplied with the product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions.  
If the remote control is not used for an extended period of time, remove batteries from the remote  
control.

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. (Place 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 instruc-  
tions 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.  
Aposition on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view all unscrambled channels using the TVs  
channel keys.  
Bposition on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/

PREPARATION (Continued)  
Antenna Connection (Continued)  
Antennas  
I 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 antenna.
