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

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.

• 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.

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.
Antenna Connections
A. Combination VHF/UHF Antennas
B. Separate VHF/UHF Antenna
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:
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).

When connecting the RF cable to the TV set, do not
tighten F-type connector with tools.
If tools are used, it may cause damage to your TV
set.
(The breaking of internal circuit, etc.)
NOTICE
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.
Antenna Connections (Continued)
Note:
• Consult your SHARP Dealer or Service Center for the type of splitter, RF switch or combiner that
might be required.

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 for Analog Channel can be viewed in
two modes: CAPTION and TEXT. For each mode, two channels are
available, CH1 and CH2.
Closed Caption broadcast for Digital Channel can be viewed in 10
modes (maximum).
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.

• 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, TV guidelines or canadian Rating System, you
should adjust all for complete control.

• TV PARENTAL GUIDELINES (Example)
Example 1.1 : Age Based setting
Clear
V
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
V
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
V
(block) from each “AGE” box of “TV-PG”, “TV-14” and
“TV-MA”.
Example 2.2 : Content Based setting
Put a
V
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
V
(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
V
in the table on page
21.
• 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
V
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.

[3] Canadian Rating Systems
• The TV rating systems in Canada are based on the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications
Commission (CRTC) policy on violence in television programming.
• While violence is the most important content element to be rated, the structure developed takes into
consideration other program content like language, nudity, sexuality and mature themes.
• When setting the V-CHIP on the Canadian system you can choose either the Canadian English ratings
or the Canadian French ratings.
[i] Canadian English ratings
Rating Description
C
Children: Intended for younger children under the age of 8 years. Pays careful
attention to themes that could threaten their sense of security and well-being.
C8
+
Children over 8 years old: Contains no portrayal of violence as the preferred,
acceptable, or only way to resolve conflict; nor encourage children to imitate
dangerous acts which they may see on the screen.
G
General: Considered acceptable for all age groups. Appropriate viewing for the
entire family, contains very little violence, physical, verbal or emotional.
Age PG
Parental Guidance: Intended for a general audience, but may not be suitable
for younger children (under the age of 8) because it could contain controversial
themes or issues.
14
+
Over 14 Years: Could contain themes where violence is one of the dominant
elements of the storyline, but it must be integral to the development of plot or
character. Language usage could be profane and nudity present within the
context of the theme.
18
+
Adults: Intended for viewers 18 years and older and might contain depictions of
violence, which while related to the development of plot, character or themes,
are intended for adult viewing. Could contain graphic language and portrayals
of sex and nudity.
[ii] Canadian French ratings
Rating Description
G
General: All ages and children, contains minimal direct violence, but may be
integrated into the plot in a humorous or unrealistic manner.
Age
8
+
General but inadvisable for young children: May be viewed by a wide public
audience, but could contain scenes disturbing to children under 8 who cannot
distinguish between imaginary and real situations. Recommended for viewing
with parent.
13
+
Over 13 years: Could contain frequent violent scenes and therefore recommended
for viewing with parent.
16
+ Over 16 years: Could contain frequent violent scenes and intense violence.
18
+
Over 18 years: Only for adult viewing. Could contain frequent violent scenes
and extreme violence.
