We are pleased that you are now the owner of a SHARP TV/ VCR Combination ­ built for outstanding quality, reliability and performance. Every SHARP TV/ VCR Combination set is properly tuned and adjusted for a proper color picture 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 utmost satisfaction and enjoyment from your new SHARP TV/ VCR Combination 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 TV/ VCR Combination set. Use 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. WARNING OF DEW FORMATION Whenever your TV is moved from a cold to a warm environment, it is important that you plug the unit in, turn the power on and allow it to sit for about 2 hours before attempting to play a tape. This period will allow any dew formation to evaporate. Failure to do so may result in tape and/or video head damage. After the 2 hours evaporation period, you may witness a "snowy" picture for the first few minutes of VCR operation. This picture noise will disappear shortly thereafter. "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 02-04 13VT-R100/150[E].pm65e 2 4/11/90, 10:12 AM 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.
