Dear SHARP customer

Thank you for your purchase of the SHARP LCD colour TV product. To ensure safety and many years of troublefree operation of your product, please read the Important Safety Precautions carefully before using this product.

Important Safety Precautions

Electricity is used to perform many useful functions, but it can also cause personal injuries and property damage if improperly handled. This product has been engineered and manufactured with the highest priority on safety. However, improper use can result in electric shock and/or fire. In order to prevent potential danger, please observe the following instructions when installing, operating and cleaning the product. To ensure your safety and prolong the service life of your LCD colour TV product, please read the following precautions carefully before using the product.

Read instructions—All operating instructions must be read and understood before the product is operated.

Keep this manual in a safe place—These safety and operating instructions must be kept in a safe place for future reference.

Observe warnings—All warnings on the product and in the instructions must be observed closely.

Follow instructions—All operating instructions must be followed.

Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of inadequate attachments can result in accidents.

Power source—This product must operate on a power source specified on the specification label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply used in your home, consult your dealer or local power company.

AC cord protection—The AC cords must be routed properly to prevent people from stepping on them or objects from resting on them. Check the cords at the plugs and product.

Overloading—Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords. Overloading can cause fire or electric shock.

Entering of objects and liquids—Never insert an object into the product through vents or openings. High voltage flows in the product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock and/or short internal parts. For the same reason, do not spill water or liquid on the product.

10. Servicing—Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to high voltage and other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified service person to perform servicing.

11. Repair—If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet, and request a qualified service person to perform repairs.

a. When the AC cord or plug is damaged.

b. When a liquid was spilled on the product or when objects have fallen into the product.

c. When the product has been exposed to rain or water.

d. When the product does not operate properly as described in the operating instructions.

Do not touch the controls other than those described in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of controls not described in the instructions can cause damage, which often requires extensive adjustment work by a qualified technician.

e. When the product has been dropped or damaged.

f. When the product displays an abnormal condition. Any noticeable abnormality in the product indicates that the product needs servicing.

12. Replacement parts—In case the product needs replacement parts, make sure that the service person uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer, or those with the same characteristics and performance as the original parts. Use of unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric shock and/or other danger.

13. Safety checks—Upon completion of service or repair work, request the service technician to perform safety checks to ensure that the product is in proper operating condition.

14. Wall or ceiling mounting—When mounting the product on a wall or ceiling, be sure to install the product according to the method recommended by the manufacturer.

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.

• 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 struck forcefully or with a sharp object. 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 power cord under the TV set or other heavy items.

• Do not place heavy objects on this product or stand on it. Doing so could cause injury if the product overturns.

Take special care near children and pets.

The LCD panel is a very high technology product with 3,147,264 thin film transistors, 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 or red.

This is within product specifications and does not constitute a fault.

Precautions when transporting the TV

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

• Do not display a still picture for a long time, as this could cause an afterimage to remain.

Troubleshooting

• No power.

Problem Possible Solution

• Check if you pressed POWER on the remote control unit. (See page 14.)

If the indicator on the TV lights up red, press POWER.

• Is the AC cord disconnected? (See page 7.)

• Has the power been turned on? (See page 14.)

• Unit cannot be operated.

• Picture is cut off.

• External influences such as lightning, static electricity, etc., may cause improper operation. In this case, operate the unit after first turning the power off the TV or unplugging the AC cord and re-plugging it in after 1 or 2 minutes.

• Remote control unit does not operate.

• Are batteries inserted with polarity (e, f) aligned? (See page 6.)

• Are batteries worn out? (Replace with new batteries.)

• Are you using it under strong or fluorescent lighting?

• Is a fluorescent light illuminated to remote control sensor?

• Is the image position correct? (See page 31.)

• Are screen mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly? (See pages

32 and 33.)

• Strange colour, light colour, or dark, or colour misalignment.

• Adjust the picture tone. (See pages 26 to 28 and 35.)

• Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright.

• Check the colour system setting. (See pages 22 and 37.)

• Check the input signal setting. (See page 36.)

• Power is suddenly turned off.

• The unit’s internal temperature has increased.

Remove any objects blocking vent or clean.

• Check the power control setting. (See page 29.)

• Is sleep timer set? (See page 17.)

• No picture.

• No sound.

• Is connection to other equipment correct? (See pages 41 to 43)

• Has input signal setup been done correctly after connection? (See page 36.)

• Is the correct input selected? (See page 36.)

• Is picture adjustment correct? (See pages 26 to 28.)

• Is the antenna connected properly? (See page 9.)

• Is “On” selected in “Audio Only”? (See page 35.)

• Is the volume too low? (See page 17.)

• Make sure that headphones are not connected. (See page 12.)

Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments

• When the unit 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 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 LCD panel to malfunction.

Storage temperature: –20°C to +60°C.
