We are pleased that you are now the owner of a SHARP Color Television ­ built for outstanding quality, reliability and performance. Every SHARP Color Television set is tuned and adjusted for proper color and sound, and has passed through the most stringent quality control tests at the factory. We have prepared this OPERATION MANUAL so that you may adjust the picture and color to your personal viewing preference. We sincerely hope that you receive the greatest satisfaction and enjoyment from your new SHARP Color Television set for years to come. Please read these instructions carefully, and keep them handy for your future reference. IMPORTANT To aid reporting in case of loss or theft, please record the TV's model and serial numbers in the space provided. The numbers are located at the rear of the TV. Model No.: Serial No.: Important Information There are two important reasons for prompt warranty registration of your new SHARP television set, using the REGISTRATION CARD packed in with the set. FIRST ­ WARRANTY This is to assure that you will immediately receive the full consumer benefit of the parts, service and labor warranty applicable to your purchase. SECOND ­ CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY ACT To assure that you will promptly receive any safety notification on inspection, modification or recall that SHARP may be required to give under the 1972 Consumer Product Safety Act. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE IMPORTANT "LIMITED WARRANTY" CLAUSE ON THE LAST PAGE. WHAT IS ENERGY STAR ® TVs and VCRs use energy both when they are on and when they are off. Americans spend more than $1 billion a year on energy consumed by TVs and VCRs when they are not in use. The new ENERGY ® STAR models will reduce that energy "leakage" by up to 75 percent. Ultimately, this will mean more than $500 million a year in energy savings for consumers. The energy savings will help reduce the burning of fossil fuels and the related carbon dioxide pollution that contributes to global warming. If every American family replaced their TVs and VCRs with ENERGY STAR ® models, it would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by five million tons every year -- equivalent to eliminating the pollution from more than one million cars. By using ENERGY STAR ® products, you will save money on your electric bills and use less energy. That makes good economic sense and its good for our environment. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO WET LOCATIONS. The lightning flash with arrowhead within a triangle is intended to tell the user that parts inside the product are a risk of electric shock to persons. CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. The exclamation point within a triangle is intended to tell the user that important operating and servicing instructions are in the papers with the appliance. "Note to CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical." 2 Important Information (Continued) WARNING - FCC Regulations state that any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. Supplied Accessories Infrared Remote Control/Part Number RRMCG1324CESA (13L-M100B) RRMCG1324CESB (13L-M150B) TV Size AA Dry Batteries Before Operating Your Television 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 this TV set. Power Your TV operates on 120 Volts, 60 Hertz (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 will not 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 either the TV or the radio. · If you are listening to an AM broadcast, turn the TV off. AM broadcast signals may not be received due to the interference of the TV. L Before using the television, prepare the Remote Control To use the remote control, insert batteries first. Insert the batteries Pull up Battery Cover · With your thumb nail, pull up the slit as indicated by the arrow to remove the back cover. Insert two batteries (size "AA"). Be sure to match the battery e/d terminals with the e/d marks inside the compartment. 3 Antenna Connections 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). F-type connector 75-ohm coaxial cable (round) 300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat) OUTDOOR ANTENNA CONNECTION · Use one of the following two diagrams if you connect 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 COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR on the rear of the TV set. A. Combination VHF/UHF Antennas VHF/UHF ANTENNA 300/75-ohm ADAPTOR (Not supplied) 300-ohm twin-lead B. Separate VHF/UHF Antenna REAR OF TV VHF UHF ANTENNA ANTENNA 300-ohm twin-lead VHF/UHF ANTENNA or CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN 75-ohm coaxial cable COMBINER CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN ANT/CABLE 75 300-ohm twin-lead (not supplied) IN OUT or 75-ohm coaxial cable ANT/CABLE 75 REAR OF TV 4 Antenna Connections (Continued) 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. (Place 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.
