Introduction

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.

• Use a soft damp cloth to gently wipe the panel when it is dirty. To protect the panel, do not use a chemical cloth to clean it. Chemicals may cause damage or cracks in the cabinet of the TV.

• 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.

• Headphones—Do not set the volume at a high level. Hearing experts advise against extended listening at high volume levels.

• 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, red or yellow. This is within product specifications and does not constitute a fault.

Precautions when transporting the TV

When transporting the TV, never carry it by putting pressure onto the display. Be sure to always carry the TV by two people holding it with two hands—one hand on each side of the TV.

Caring for the cabinet

• Use a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.) and gently wipe the surface of the cabinet.

• Using a chemical cloth (wet/dry sheet type cloth, etc.) may deform the components of the main unit cabinet or cause cracking.

• Wiping with a hard cloth or using strong force may scratch the surface of the cabinet.

• If the cabinet is very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.) soaked in neutral detergent diluted with water and thoroughly wrung out, and then wipe with a soft dry cloth.

• Avoid using benzene, thinner, and other solvents, as these may deform the cabinet and cause the paint to peel off.

• Do not apply insecticides or other volatile liquids. Also, do not allow the cabinet to remain in contact with rubber or vinyl products for a long period of time. Plasticizers inside the plastic may cause the cabinet to deform and cause the paint to peel off.

Introduction

Caring for the front panel

• Turn off the main power and unplug the AC cord from the wall outlet before handling.

• Gently wipe the surface of the front panel with a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.). To protect the front panel, do not use a dirty cloth, liquid cleaners, or a chemical cloth

(wet/dry sheet type cloth, etc.). This may damage the surface of the front panel.

• Wiping with a hard cloth or using strong force may scratch the surface of the front panel.

• Use a soft damp cloth to gently wipe the front panel when it is really dirty (It may scratch the surface of the front panel when wiped strongly).

• If the front panel is dusty, use an anti-static brush, which is commercially available, to clean it.

Network setup

Connecting to the network

To enjoy internet services, you need to connect the

TV to a router with a high speed connection to the internet. You can also connect the TV to your Home network server through a router or access point. The

TV connection to the router can either be wired or wireless.

NOTE

• If you choose a wired connection to the router, you need an ETHERNET cable (commercially available).

• If you do not have a broadband internet connection, consult the store where you purchased your TV or ask your internet service provider or telephone company.

• An Ethernet and wireless connection cannot be used at the same time. Use only one of the connection types.

• A wireless LAN connection and performance cannot be guaranteed for all residential environments. In the following cases, the wireless LAN signal may be poor or drop, or the connection speed may become slower.

− When used in buildings made with concrete, reinforced steel, or metal

− When placed near objects that obstruct the signal

− When used with other wireless devices that emit the same frequency

− When used in the vicinity of microwave ovens and other devices that emit a magnetic field, electrostatic charge, or electromagnetic interference

• A stable connection speed is required to play back streaming content. Use an Ethernet connection if the wireless LAN speed is unstable.

Enjoying 3D image viewing

You can enjoy 3D-supported images on this TV when you wear 3D glasses (AN-

3DG20), sold separately.

To produce 3D images, liquid crystal shutters in the 3D glasses alternately open and close imperceptibly fast to exactly match alternating left and right video images displayed by the TV.

NOTE

• Refer to the operation manual of the 3D glasses for details regarding usage.

• Some menu items are greyed out in 3D mode. This is not a malfunction.

• Do not use the 3D function or 3D glasses while walking or moving around. This may result in injuries due to running into objects, tripping, and/or falling.

• When using the 3D glasses, take care not to accidentally strike the TV screen or other people. Viewing 3D images may cause you to misjudge the distance to the TV screen and accidentally strike the screen, resulting in possible injury.

• It is recommended that you do not view 3D images if you are sleep deprived or if you have been drinking alcohol.

CAUTION

• Not all consumers can experience and enjoy 3D TV. Some people suffer from stereo blindness which prevents them from perceiving the intended depth of 3D entertainment.

Also, some people who watch 3D programming may experience initial feelings of motion sickness as they adjust to the picture. Others may experience headaches, eye fatigue or continued motion sickness, or some viewers might also experience epileptic seizures or strokes. Like a roller coaster, the experience is not for everyone.

• The 3D glasses are precision equipment. Handle them with care.

• Improper use of the 3D glasses or failure to follow these instructions can result in eye strain.

• If you experience dizziness, nausea, or other discomfort while viewing 3D images, immediately discontinue use of the 3D glasses. Using the binocular disparity 3D system of the TV with incompatible 3D broadcasts or software can make images appear with a cross talk blur or create overlapping images.

• When viewing 3D images continuously, be sure to take a break periodically to prevent eye strain.

• If you are nearsighted or farsighted or have astigmatism or a different level of eyesight between the left and right eyes, you should take the necessary steps, such as wearing eyeglasses, to correct your eyesight before viewing 3D images. The 3D glasses can be worn over eyeglasses.

• When viewing 3D images, keep the 3D glasses horizontally level with the TV screen. If you tilt the 3D glasses with respect to the TV screen, the images viewed by the left and right eyes may appear significantly different or images may appear overlapping.

• View 3D images at the appropriate distance from the TV screen. The recommended distance is three times the effective height of the TV screen.

• Be careful of your surroundings when viewing 3D images. When you view 3D images, objects may appear at a distance closer or farther than the actual TV screen. This may cause you to misjudge the distance to the TV screen and possibly result in injury if you accidentally hit the screen or surrounding objects.

• The 3D glasses are not recommended for people aged less than 6.

• When children are viewing 3D images, be sure a parent or guardian is present. Monitor children viewing 3D images, and if they show signs of discomfort, immediately discontinue use of the 3D glasses.

• People with a known history of photosensitivity and people with heart problems or poor health should not use the 3D glasses. This can worsen existing health conditions.

• Do not use the 3D glasses for other purposes (such as general eyeglasses, sunglasses, or protective goggles).

Appendix

Warning regarding basic use

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: f 20 °C to e 60 °C.

Devices connected to the protective earthing of the building installation through the

MAINS connection or through other devices with a connection to protective earthing and to a television distribution system using coaxial cable, may in some circumstances create a fire hazard. Connection to a television distribution system therefore has to be provided through a device providing electrical isolation within a certain frequency range

(galvanic isolator, see EN 60728-11).

NOTE

• For requirements in Norway and Sweden, the requirements for isolation are also relevant for devices that can be connected to television distribution systems.

EU Energy Label for Televisions

On 30 November, 2010 the European Commission adopted the Commission

Delegated Regulation (EU) No 1062/2010 with regard to energy labelling of televisions.

The Regulation entered into force on 20 December 2010 and applies in all

Member States.

Manufacturers and dealers are required to display the label shown below, on their televisions from 30 November 2011.

The label provides information to assist consumers in evaluating televisions for energy efficiency and energy consumption and to make a purchasing decision that contributes to the protection of the environment and to a lower carbon society.

The figure below shows the label design and explains the information included.

For further information please visit the Sharp internet homepage (http://www.

sharp.eu).

The retailer or online shop where you purchased your television from would have displayed the label and its corresponding rating. If in doubt please consult them.

In addition to saving energy many Sharp LCD televisions also carry the EU

Ecolabel, a voluntary environmental label that is awarded to goods which meet the environmental requirements of the EU ecolabelling scheme (for details see http://ec.europa.eu/environment/ecolabel/). This voluntary label enhances further the environmental credentials of our televisions.

NOTE

• Methods for calculating the Energy Efficiency Index and the annual on-mode energy consumption are set out in Annex II of Regulation (EU) No 1062/2010. The determination of the on-mode consumption is based on the international standard IEC 62087 Ed. 2
