IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
CHILD SAFETY:  
It Makes A Difference How and Where You Use Your Flat Panel Display  
Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new product, please keep these safety tips in mind:  
THE ISSUE  
• The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend and larger flat panel  
displays are popular purchases. However, flat panel displays are not always supported  
on the proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.  
• Flat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves,  
desks, speakers, chests or carts may fall over and cause injury.  
THIS MANUFACTURER CARES!  
• The consumer electronics industry is committed to making home entertainment enjoyable  
and safe.  
TUNE INTO SAFETY  
• One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe  
installation and use of your flat panel display.  
• Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of this product.  
• Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television sets.  
• Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as  
a chest of drawers.  
• Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, especially  
on a “larger than life” flat panel display. Care should be taken to place or install the  
display where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.  
• Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the flat panel  
display so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.  
WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT YOUR FLAT  
PANEL DISPLAY, ALWAYS:  
• Use a mount that has been recommended by the display manufacturer and/or listed  
by an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).  
• Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount manufacturers.  
• If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat panel display,  
contact your retailer about professional installation.  
• Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is appropriate. Some  
wall mounts are not designed to be mounted to walls with steel studs or old cinder  
block construction. If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.  
• A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays can be  
heavy.

AV MODE  
AUDIO  
AV MODE gives you several viewing options to choose  
from to best match the surrounding environment of the  
TV, which can vary due to factors like room brightness,  
type of program watched or the type of image input  
from external equipment.  
MTS/SAP stereo mode  
■
The TV has a feature that allows reception of sound  
other than the main audio for the program. This feature  
is called Multi-channel Television Sound (MTS). The TV  
with MTS can receive mono sound, stereo sound  
and Secondary Audio Programs (SAP). The SAP  
feature allows a TV station to broadcast other  
information, which could be audio in another language  
or something completely different like weather  
information.  
Press AV MODE. Current AV MODE displays.  
• Press AV MODE again before the mode displayed on the  
screen disappears. The mode changes as shown below:  
Example:  
When the input source is TV, Blu-ray, INPUT 1, 2 or 3  
terminals  
You can enjoy Hi-Fi stereo sound or SAP broadcasts  
where available.  
• Stereo broadcasts: View programs like live sporting  
events, shows and concerts in dynamic stereo sound.  
• SAP broadcasts: Receive TV broadcasts in either MAIN or  
SAP sound.  
MAIN sound: The normal program soundtrack (either in  
mono or stereo).  
SAP sound: Listen to a second language, supplementary  
commentary or other information. (SAP is mono sound.)  
If stereo sound is difficult to hear.

The types of audio transmitted in a digital broadcast include  
SURROUND as well as MONO and STEREO. In addition, it  
is possible for multiple audio tracks to accompany a single  
video track.  
• You can select a different AV MODE item for each input  
mode. (For example, select STANDARD for TV input and

information  
Ratings  
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 discretion of the  
program provider.  
• 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:  
Digital Closed Caption service is a new caption service  
available only on digital TV programs (also at the  
discretion of the service provider). It is a more flexible  
system than the original Closed Caption system,  
because it allows for a variety of caption sizes and font  
styles. When the Digital Closed Caption service is in  
use, it will be indicated by the appearance of a 3-letter  
abbreviation that also indicates the language of the  
Digital Closed Captions: ENG (English), SPA (Spanish),  
FRA (French) or other language codes.  
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. 1/3 ENG) 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.  
Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed  
captions. Please look for the “  
that captions will be shown.  
” symbol to ensure  
N
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.  
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

Disc Precautions  
• Audio-visual material may consist of copyrighted works  
which must not be recorded without the authority of the  
owner of the copyright. Refer to relevant laws in your  
country.  
• This product incorporates copyright protection technology  
that is protected by U.S. patents and other intellectual  
property rights. Use of this copyright protection technology  
must be authorized by Macrovision, and is intended for  
home and other limited viewing uses only unless otherwise  
authorized by Macrovision. Reverse engineering or  
disassembly is prohibited.  
Be Careful of Scratches and Dust  
• BD, DVD and CD discs are sensitive to dust, fingerprints  
and especially scratches. A scratched disc may not be able  
to be played back. Handle discs with care and store them  
in a safe place.  
Proper Disc Storage  
Place the disc in the center  
of the disc case and store  
the case and disc upright.  
U.S. Patent Nos. 6,836,549; 6,381,747; 7,050,698;  
6,516,132; and 5,583,936  
Avoid storing discs in  
locations subject to direct  
sunlight, close to heating  
appliances or in locations of  
high humidity.  
Do not drop discs or subject  
them to strong vibrations or  
impacts.  
Avoid storing discs in  
locations where there are  
large amounts of dust or  
moisture.  
Handling Precautions  
• If the surface is soiled, wipe gently with a soft, damp (water  
only) cloth. When wiping discs, always move the cloth from  
the center hole toward the outer edge.  
• Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzene, thinner, static  
electricity prevention liquids or any other solvent.  
• Do not touch the surface.  
• Do not stick paper or adhesive labels to the disc.  
• If the playing surface of a disc is soiled or scratched, the TV  
may decide that the disc is incompatible and eject the disc,  
or it may fail to play the disc correctly. Wipe any dirt off the  
playing surface with a soft cloth.  
Cleaning the Pick Up Lens  
• Never use commercially available cleaning discs. The use of  
these discs can damage the lens.  
• Request the nearest service center approved by SHARP to  
clean the lens.  
Warnings about dew formation  
• Condensation may form on pick up lens or disc in the  
following conditions:  
– Immediately after a heater has been turned on.  
– In a steamy or very humid room.  
– When the TV is suddenly moved from a cold  
environment to a warm one.  
When condensation forms:  
It becomes difficult for the TV to read the signals on the  
disc and prevents the TV from operating properly.  
To remove condensation:  
Take out the disc and leave the TV with the power off  
until the condensation disappears. Using the TV when  
there is condensation may cause malfunction.

Canadian Rating Systems (Canadian English ratings and Canadian French ratings)  
• 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.  
E: Exempt: Includes news, sports, documentaries and other information  
programming; talk shows, music videos, and variety programming.  
C: 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.  
C8+: 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.  
G: General: Considered acceptable for all age groups. Appropriate  
viewing for the entire family, contains very little violence, physical,  
verbal or emotional.

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.
