IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

27F541 3

Dimension: 140mm x 215mm

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS (Continued)

13. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the television equipment.

14. If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment, be sure the antenna system is grounded

so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the

National Electrical Code provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and

supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding

conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements

for the grounding electrode.

15. For added protection for this television equipment during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and

unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent

damage to the equipment due to lightning and power-line surges.

16. An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric

light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside

antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact

with them might be fatal.

17. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in fire or electric shock.

18. Never push objects of any kind into this television equipment through cabinet slots as they may touch

dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid

of any kind on the television equipment.

19. Do not attempt to service this television equipment yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you

to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

20. Unplug this television equipment from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel

under the following conditions:

A. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

B. If liquid has been spilled into the television equipment.

C. If the television equipment has been exposed to rain or water.

D. If the television equipment does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust

only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as improper adjustment of other

controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to

restore the television equipment to normal operation.

E. If the television equipment has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

F. When the television equipment exhibits a distinct change in performance — this indicates a need for

service.

21. Upon completion of any service or repairs to this television equipment, ask the service technician to

perform routine safety checks to determine that the television is in safe operating condition.

22. When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts

specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized

substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

Location

• For normal operation, your TV should be located in an area of the room where cool adequate ventilation

is provided. Do not place the back of the television set in a place where free airflow will be restricted.

• Any magnetic force may disturb the color picture. Make sure that magnets, electric clocks, toys using

magnets or any other magnetic substance, such as iron are kept well away from the TV set.

Power

Your TV operates on 120 Volts, 60 Hz (normal household current) and has a polarized plug. If you are

unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. Should it fail to fit, contact an

electrician. Do not defeat the safety feature of the polarized plug.

Note:

• If the set is not going to be used for a long period, such as during a vacation, unplug the set from the

wall outlet to economize power. (If the TV set is plugged in, a slight current still flows, even with the

POWER BUTTON in the OFF position.)

• Lines and other noise may appear in TV broadcast images when an FM tuner or radio is located near

the TV and both radio and TV broadcasts are being received. Should such noise appear, turn off the

radio.

• If you are listening to an AM broadcast, turn the TV off. AM broadcast signals may not be received

due to interference from the TV.

•

Before using the television, prepare the Remote Control

To use the remote control, insert batteries first.

Inserting the batteries

• With your thumbnail, pull up the slit as indicated by the arrow to remove the battery cover. Insert two

batteries (size “AA”). Be sure to match the battery m/, terminals with the m/, marks inside the

compartment.

Antennas

• 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:

Antenna Connections

F-type connector

75-ohm coaxial cable (round)

300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)

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).

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 ADAPTOR (not supplied).

Infrared Remote Control

27F541 5

Dimension: 140mm x 215mm

OUT

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. (Set 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 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: RF switch equipped with position A/B (not provided) is required.

“A” position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view all unscrambled channels using the TV’s

channel keys.

“B” position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/

descrambler using the converter’s channel keys.

Note:

• Consult your SHARP Dealer or Service Center for the type of splitter, RF switch or combiner that

might be required.

OUTDOOR ANTENNA CONNECTION

• Refer to one of the following two diagrams when connecting to an outdoor antenna.

A: Using a VHF/UHF combination outdoor antenna.

B: Using separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antenna.

• Connect an outdoor antenna cable lead-in to the ANT/CABLE terminal on the rear of the TV set.
