Connecting the TV to a home antenna terminal

CAUTION!

- When connecting, ensure that the TV is switched off.

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. (See page E10 for information on removing/replacing the terminal cover.)

1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools (commercially available).

2. A 300-ohm system is a flat "twin-lead" cable that can be attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300-75-ohm adapter (commercially available).

Notes:

• The 75-ohm coaxial cable is recommended.
• TV memory for channels is empty at shipment. To receive channels, use the CHANNEL SETTING menu. (See pages E23 through E25.)

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 the antenna input terminal (ANT) on the left side of the TV.

CAUTION!

- When connecting the coaxial cable to the TV, do not tighten F-type connector with tools. If tools are used, it may cause damage to your TV. (The breaking of internal circuit, etc.)

Connecting the TV to a home antenna terminal

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 antenna input terminal (ANT).
• 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 (commercially available).

"A" position on the RF switch (commercially available): You can view all unscrambled channels by using the TV's channel buttons.
"B" position on the RF switch (commercially available): You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/descrambler by using the converter's channel keys.

Adjusting the V-chip settings (V-CHIP)

Important:

- Please refer to the end of this manual for "Clearing the secret number".

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.

Voluntary movie rating system (MPAA rating)

Rating
Age base	G	GENERAL AUDIENCES. All ages admitted.
	PG	PARENTAL GUIDANCE SUGGESTED. Some material may not be suitable for children.
	PG-13	PARENTS STRONGLY CAUTIONED. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.
	R	RESTRICTED. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.
	NC-17	NO ONE 17 AND UNDER ADMITTED.
	X	X is an older rating that is unified with NC-17 but may be encoded in the data of older movies.

For example:

PG-13 in the age-based rating is blocked, this will also automatically block the higher ratings (R, NC-17, and X).

Troubleshooting

If you think the TV may be faulty, please check the following points before taking it to be repaired. If afterwards it still does not work, please contact the shop where you purchased the TV or your nearest Sharp authorized Service Center.

The TV's fluorescent tubes have a limited life span.

• If the screen darkens, persistently flickers or does not light up, the fluorescent tube has reached the end of its operational life span. Please inquire at the shop where you purchased the TV or your nearest Sharp authorized Service Center.
• In the initial period of use, due to the characteristics of fluorescent tubes the screen may flicker. (This is not a malfunction.) Should this happen, check by first turning off the power, then turning it on again.

DDC (Plug & Play)

This monitor supports the VESA DDC (Display Data Channel) standard.

DDC is a signal standard for carrying out Plug & Play functions on the monitor or computer. It transfers information such as degree of resolution between the monitor and computer. You can use this function if your computer is DDC compliant and if it is set so that it can detect the Plug & Play monitor.

There are many varieties of DDC due to the differences between systems. This monitor works with DDC2B.
