SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.

The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 13A fuse. Should the fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked 🌐 or 📋 and of the same rating as above, which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used.

Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.

In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut off the mains plug and fit an appropriate type.

DANGER:

The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and disposed of in a safe manner.

Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet, as a serious electric shock may occur.

To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:

IMPORTANT:

The wires in the mains lead are colored in accordance with the following code:

Blue: Neutral

Brown: Live

As the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the colored markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

- The wire which is colored blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or colored black.

- The wire which is colored brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or colored red.

Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug.

Before replacing the plug cover make sure that:

- If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug.

- The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead, and not simply over the lead wires.

IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Dear SHARP customer

Thank you for your purchase of the SHARP LCD colour TV product. To ensure safety and many years of trouble-free operation of your product, please read the Important Safety Precautions carefully before using this product.

Important Safety Precautions

• Cleaning—Unplug 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 moisture—Do 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.
• Stand—Do 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 manufacturer's 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.
• 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.
• 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 sources—Keep 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.
• Servicing—Do 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 transporting the TV, never carry it by holding onto the speakers. Be sure to always carry the TV by two people holding it with two hands—one hand on each side of the TV.

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.
• When replacing the batteries, use alkaline batteries instead of zinc-carbon ones.

Note on disposing batteries:

The batteries provided contain no harmful materials such as cadmium, lead or mercury.

Regulations concerning used batteries stipulate that batteries may no longer be thrown out with the household rubbish. Deposit any used batteries free of charge into the designated collection containers set up at commercial businesses.

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.

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.

Connecting external devices

Before connecting ...

• Be sure to turn off the TV and any devices before making any connections.
• Firmly connect a cable to a terminal or terminals. • Refer to page 36 for connecting a PC to the TV.

- Carefully read the operation manual of each external device for possible connection types. This also helps you get the best possible audiovisual quality to maximise the potential of the TV and the connected device.

Introduction to connections

The TV is equipped with the terminals as shown below. Find the cable corresponding to the TV's terminal and connect the device.

NOTE

- The cables illustrated in pages 15–18 are commercially available items.

ø 3.5 mm stereo minijack cable

HDMI connection

Example of connectable devices

● DVD player/recorder ● Blu-ray player/recorder ● Game console

The HDMI connections (High Definition Multimedia Interface) permit digital video and audio transmission via a connection cable from a player/recorder. The digital picture and sound data are transmitted without data compression and therefore lose none of their quality. Analogue/digital conversion is no longer necessary in the connected devices, which also would result in quality losses.

DVI/HDMI conversion

Using a DVI/HDMI cable, the digital video signals of a DVD can also be played via the compatible HDMI connection. The sound must be fed in additionally.

• When connecting a DVI/HDMI cable to the HDMI terminal, the image may not come in clearly.
• Both HDMI and DVI use the same HDCP copy protection method.

When using the HDMI2 terminal

You must set the audio signal input source depending on the type of HDMI cable connected (Refer to page 36 for details).

HDMI-certified cable

Go to "MENU" > "Option" > "PC Audio Select" > select "EXT4 (RGB)".

DVI/HDMI cable

Go to "MENU" > "Option" > "PC Audio Select" > select "HDMI2".

NOTE

• If a connected HDMI device is AQUOS LINK compatible, you can take advantage of versatile functions (Pages 20–22).
• Video noise may occur depending on the type of HDMI cable used. Make sure to use a certified HDMI cable.
• When playing the HDMI image, the best possible format for the picture will be detected and set automatically.

Supported video signal:

576i, 576p, 480i, 480p, 1080i, 720p, 1080p

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Solution
No power.	Check if you pressed ⏻| on the remote control unit.If the indicator on the TV lights up red, press ⏻|.Is the AC cord disconnected?Check if you pressed ⏻ on the TV.
The TV cannot be operated.	External influences such as lightning, static electricity, etc., may cause improper operation. In this case, operate the TV after first turning off the power, or unplugging the AC cord and re-plugging it in after one or two minutes.
Remote control unit does not operate.	Are batteries inserted with polarity (+, -) aligned?Are batteries worn out? (Replace with new batteries.)Are you using it under strong or fluorescent lighting?Is a fluorescent light illuminating to the remote control sensor?
Picture is cut off.	Is the image position correct?Are screen mode adjustments (WIDE MODE) such as picture size made correctly? (Pages 30 and 36)
Strange colour, light colour, or dark colour, or colour misalignment.	Adjust the picture tone.Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright.Check the “Colour System” setting (Pages 28 and 33).
Power is suddenly turned off.	The TV’s internal temperature has increased.Remove any objects blocking the vent or clean.Is the “Sleep Timer” set? Select “Off” from the “Sleep Timer” menu (Page 26).Is “No Signal Off” or “No Operation Off” activated?
No picture.	Are connections to external equipment correct? (Pages 15–17)Is the input signal type selected correctly after connection? (Page 33)Is the correct input source selected? (Page 10)Is a non-compatible signal being input? (Page 39)Is the picture adjustment correct? (Pages 24–25)Is the antenna connected properly? (Page 8)Is “On” selected in “Audio Only”? (Page 31)
No sound.	Is the volume too low?Make sure that headphones are not connected.Check if you pressed ⏻× on the remote control unit.Is the proper item selected in the “PC Audio Select” menu when connecting devices to the HDMI2 terminal or the EXT4 terminal? (Pages 16 and 36)
The TV sometimes makes a cracking sound.	This is not a malfunction. This happens when the cabinet slightly expands and contracts according to changes in temperature. This does not affect the TV’s performance.

Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments

• When the TV 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 TV will recover when the temperature returns to normal.
• Do not leave the TV in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the TV 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: +5 °C to +35 °C.
