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.

How to set CLOSED CAPTION

• Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder. “Closed

Caption” is a system which allows conversations, narration, and sound

effects in TV programs and home videos to appear as captions on the

TV screen (see the illustration).

• Not all the programs and videos will offer closed captioning. Please

look for the “ ” symbol to ensure that captions will be shown.

• Closed Caption broadcast can be viewed in two modes: CAPTION

and TEXT. For each mode, two channels are available, CH1 and CH2.

The CAPTION mode shows subscripts of dialogs and commentaries

of TV dramas and news programs while allowing clear view of the

picture.

The TEXT mode displays over the picture other various information

(such as TV program schedule, weather forecast, etc.) that is

independent of the TV programs.

1 Press MENU to access the MAIN MENU screen.

2 Press CH

a/s

to move the “E” mark to “CLOSED CAPTION”.

3 Press VOL

k/l to access the CLOSED CAPTION setting screen.

4 Press CH

a/s

to move the “E” mark to either “MODE” or “DATA”.

5 Press VOL

k/l to change the CLOSED CAPTION setting.

6 Press MENU

to exit.

Note:

• If a broadcast contains CLOSED CAPTION and the MUTE button is pressed, the set enters CAPTION

mode automatically. Pressing MUTE again will return the set to its previous condition.

• Closed Caption may malfunction (white blocks, strange characters, etc.) if signal conditions are poor

or if there are problems at the broadcast source. This does not necessarily indicate a problem with

your TV.

• If any button is pressed to call up the ON SCREEN DISPLAY while viewing a CLOSED CAPTION

broadcast, the closed captions will disappear momentarily.

• If no TEXT broadcast is being received while viewing in the TEXT mode, the screen may become

dark and blank for some programs. Should this occur, switch the Closed Caption mode to “OFF”.

Parent Control (V-CHIP Operation)

H V-CHIP

• This function allows you to restrict TV programs and also allows you to control TV usage based on

FCC data. This function is to prevent your children from watching violence or sexual scenes that may

be harmful.

• Restriction of TV programs includes two characters that contain information about the program’s MPAA

rating and the TV Parental Guidelines. MPAA is restricted by age. TV Parental Guidelines are restricted

by age and contents.

• Since a TV program may use either the MPAA rating or the TV Guidelines you should adjust both for

complete control.

[1] MPAA RATING

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 Rating is an older rating that is unified with NC-17 but may be encoded on

older movie’s data.Note:

Parent Control (V-CHIP Operation) (Continued)

• TV PARENTAL GUIDELINES (Example)

Example 1.1 : Age Based setting

Clear

s (block) from each "AGE" box for all ratings.

This will automatically unblock everything.

Example 1.2 : Age Based setting

For “TV-G” put a

in the "AGE" box. This will automatically block the

higher age ratings “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-MA” as well as “TV-G”.

Please note the content ratings “D”, “L”, “S”, “V” are automatically blocked

as well.

Example 2.1 : Content Based setting

If you choose to unblock every content-based items (“D”, “L”, “S”, “V”),

clear the

(block) from each “AGE” box of “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-

MA”.

Example 2.2 : Content Based setting

Put a

in the box corresponding to “TV-PG” (row) and “V (Violence)”

(column). This will automatically block the “V” boxes for “TV-14” and

“TV-MA”. Setting only “TV-PG-V”, “TV-14-V” or “TV-MA-V” will not block

all programs rated “TV-PG”, “TV-14” or “TV-MA”.

Example 3 : Resetting an Age Based setting

For “TV-14”, put a

(block) in the “AGE” box.

This will again automatically block the content ratings “D”, “L”, “S”, “V”

for “TV-MA” as well as “TV-14” (“D” is not available for “TV-MA”).

Please note that the lower age rating “TV-PG” does not change from its

previous settings after this.

Note:

• Content ratings can be modified but only in the combinations indicated by

in the table on page 16.

• Changing a lower age rating’s content setting to “BLOCK” automatically changes the same higher age

rating’s content setting to “BLOCK” regardless of their previous settings.

• Changing a lower rating’s “AGE” setting to “BLOCK” automatically changes all higher ratings to “BLOCK”

regardless of their previous settings.

• For “TV-Y7”, “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and “TV-MA”, if you clear the

in the “AGE” box (unblock) you can still

change settings based on content.

• Clearing a higher rating’s age or content setting will not clear lower settings. Make sure that all undesired

boxes are blocked.

PRECAUCIÓN : Lea por favor todas estas instrucciones antes de poner en funcionamiento

su televisor, y guárdelas para poder utilizarlas en el futuro.

La energía eléctrica permite realizar muchas funciones útiles. Este aparato ha sido diseñado y fabricado para

garantizar su seguridad física. Sin embargo, UNA UTILIZACIÓN INAPROPIADA PODRÍA SER LA CAUSA DE

DESCARGAS ELÉCTRICAS O INCENDIOS. Para mantener el buen funcionamiento de este equipo y evitar

problemas, siga las normas básicas indicadas a continuación cuando lo instale, utilice o repare.

1. Desenchufe el televisor del tomacorriente antes de limpiarlo.

2. No utilice líquidos ni aerosoles de limpieza. Para limpiar el televisor utilice un paño húmedo.

3. No utilice accesorios que no los recomiende el fabricante del televisor porque podrían causar peligros.

4. No utilice el televisor cerca del agua – por ejemplo, cerca de una bañera, lavado, fregadero o lavadora, en

un sótano húmedo, cerca de una piscina, etc.

5. No utilice este televisor sobre un carrito, un soporte o una mesa inestables. El televisor podría caerse

causando serías heridas a niños o adultos, y, por supuesto, el aparato se estropearía. Ponga el televisor

solamente sobre un carrito o soporte recomendado por el fabricante, o vendido junto con

el televisor.

6. La combinación de carrito y televisor debe moverse con mucho cuidado. Las paradas

rápidas, la fuerza excesiva y las superficies irregulares pueden ser la causa de que la

combinación de televisor y carrito se volteen.

7. Cuando instale el televisor en una pared o en una estantería siga las instrucciones del

fabricante, y utilice el kit de montaje aprobado por el fabricante.

8. Las ranuras y aberturas de la caja y del panel posterior o inferior sirven para la ventilación del aparato, para

que éste funcione bien y para evitar que se caliente. Estas aberturas no deben taparse nunca. Este televisor

no debe colocarse en un lugar cerrado (como un estante para libros) si éste no dispone de la ventilación

apropiada.

9. Las aberturas no deben taparse nunca con un paño u otro material; y las aberturas del panel inferior no

deben taparse tampoco colocando el televisor sobre una cama, sofá, alfombra u otra superficie similar.

Este televisor no debe ponerse nunca cerca o encima de un radiador u otro aparato que produzca calor.

10. Este televisor sólo debe funcionar con la fuente de corriente indicada en la etiqueta del fabricante. Si no

está seguro acerca del tipo de corriente de su hogar, póngase en contacto con el concesionario de quien

adquirió el televisor o con la compañía eléctrica local.

En el caso de equipos de televisión diseñados para funcionar con baterías, consulte las instrucciones de

uso.

11. Como medida de seguridad, el equipo de televisión está equipado con un enchufe polarizado de dos hilos.

El enchufe polarizado de dos hilos solamente calza de una sola manera en el tomacorriente.

Si el enchufe no entra en el tomacorriente, pídale a un electricista que le coloque un tomacorriente nuevo.

No modifique el enchufe porque anulará esta característica de seguridad.

12. No permita que se apoye nada sobre el cable de alimentación. No ponga este televisor donde el cable

pueda ser deformado por personas que caminen sobre él.
