ĸ Closed Captions and Digital Closed Captions

Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder. It allows you to view conversations, narration and sound effects as subtitles on your TV. Closed

Captions are available on some TV programs and on some VHS home video tapes at the discretion of the program provider.

Digital Closed Caption service is a new caption service available only on digital TV programs (also at the discretion of the service provider). It is a more fl exible system than the original Closed Caption system, because it allows for a variety of caption sizes and font styles. When the Digital Closed Caption service is in use, it will be indicated by the appearance of DTVCC.

Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed captions. Please look for the “ 1” symbol to ensure that captions will be shown.

In the Closed Caption system, there can be more than one caption service provided. Each is identifi ed by its own number. The “CC1”, “CC2”, “CC3” and

“CC4” services display subtitles of TV programs superimposed over the program's picture.

• As part of policy of continuous improvement, SHARP reserves the right to make design and specifi cation changes for product improvement without prior notice. The performance specifi cation fi gures indicated are nominal values of production units.

There may be some deviations from these values in individual units.

• On Mode Power Consumption is measured according to Energy Star program requirements for televisions.

Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments

• When the unit is used in a low temperature space (e.g. room, offi ce), the picture may leave trails or appear slightly delayed.

This is not a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperature returns to normal.

• Do not leave the unit in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight or near a heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform and the Liquid Crystal panel to malfunction.
