Dear SHARP customer

Thank you for your purchase of the SHARP LCD colour TV product. To ensure safety and many years of troublefree operation of your product, please read the Important Safety Precautions carefully before using this product.
Important Safety Precautions
CleaningUnplug the AC 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. Water and moistureDo not use the product near water, such as bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool and in a wet basement. Do not place vases or any other water-filled containers on this product. The water may spill onto the product causing fire or electric shock. StandDo not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Doing so 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 manufacturers instructions. Use only the mounting hardware recommended by the manufacturer. 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. VentilationThe 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 manufacturers instructions are followed. The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or impact applied. If the LCD panel is broken, be careful not to be injured by broken glass. Heat sourcesKeep the product away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves and other heat-generating products (including amplifiers). To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or naked flames on the top or near the TV set. To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place the AC cord under the TV set or other heavy items. Do not display a still picture for a long time, as this could cause an afterimage to remain. There is power consumption always if main plug is connected. ServicingDo not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to high voltage and other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified person to perform servicing.

The LCD panel is a very high technology product, giving you fine picture details. Due to the very large number of pixels, occasionally a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red. This is within product specifications and does not constitute a fault.
Precautions when transporting the TV
When moving the TV, it should always be carried by two people, using both hands, be careful not to apply pressure to the display.

Quick guide

Attaching the stand

Before performing work spread cushioning over the base area to lay the TV on, making sure the area is completely flat. This will prevent it from being damaged. Before attaching (or detaching) stand, unplug the AC cord from the AC INPUT terminal.
Confirm the 9 screws supplied with the TV. Screws (m9)
1 Insert the stand into the opening on the bottom of the TV. 2 Insert and tighten the 4 screws on the rear of the TV as shown.
Attach the two parts of the stand unit to each other using the 5 screws as shown.
NOTE To detach the stand, perform the above steps in reverse order.

Setting the TV

Standard DIN45325 plug (IEC 169-2) 75-ohm coaxial cable
Place the TV close to the AC outlet, and keep the power plug within reach.

Antenna

Connect the antenna cable from your antenna/cable socket or the (room-/roof) antenna for antenna input terminal on the back of your TV set to receive digitally/terrestrially broadcast stations. An indoor antenna can also be used under good reception conditions. Passive and active room antennas are offered commercially. In an active antenna its power is supplied via the antenna input terminal. The supply voltage (5V) must be correspondingly set under Supply Voltage. (See page 18.)
Product shape varies in some countries. AC cord

Bundling the cables

Bundle the cables with the clamp.

Cable clamp

Setting the TV on the wall
This TV should be mounted on the wall only with the wall mount bracket available from SHARP. (See page 35.) The use of other wall mount brackets may result in an unstable installation and may cause serious injuries. The centre of the TV screen is 4 mm below A engraved onto the metal plate angle used for affixing to a wall. Installing the LCD Colour TV 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. You can ask a qualified service personnel about using an optional bracket to mount the TV to the wall.

Inserting the batteries

Before using the TV for the first time, insert two AA size batteries (supplied). When the batteries become depleted and the remote control unit fails to operate, replace the batteries with new AA size batteries.
Hold in the tab on the battery cover and pull the cover towards the direction of the arrow. Insert two supplied AA size batteries.
Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (e) and (f) indications in the battery compartment.
Insert the smaller tab of the battery cover into the opening (1), and press down on the cover until it clicks in place (2).
CAUTION Improper use of batteries can result in chemical leakage or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below. Do not mix batteries of different types. Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries or cause chemical leakage in old batteries. Remove batteries as soon as they have worn out. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If you find any chemical leakage, wipe thoroughly with a cloth. The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions. If you will not be using the remote control unit for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from it.
Using the remote control unit
Use the remote control unit by pointing it towards the remote control sensor. Objects between the remote control unit and sensor may prevent proper operation.

Remote control sensor

Cautions regarding the remote control unit
Do not expose the remote control unit to shock. In addition, do not expose the remote control unit to liquids, and do not place in an area with high humidity. Do not install or place the remote control unit under direct sunlight. The heat may cause deformation of the unit. The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote control sensor of the TV is under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such case, change the angle of the lighting or TV, or operate the remote control unit closer to the remote control sensor.

Initial auto installation (Analogue)
When the TV is powered on for the first time after purchase, the initial auto installation (Analogue) is invoked. You can automatically set language, country and channels in successive operations.
NOTE The initial auto installation functions only once. If the initial auto installation is not completed (ex: When menu screen disappeared by not operating for a few minutes, when the power shut down, etc.), try Auto Installation from the Setup menu. (See page 15.) The initial auto installation stops by pressing RETURN.
Press DTV or b to access the DTV mode. Press DTV MENU and the DTV Menu screen displays. Press c/d to select Installation. Press a/b to select Auto Installation, and then press OK. If you have already set the PIN, enter it here. If not, enter the factory preset PIN 1234.
