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 it’s good for our environment.

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 the TV set.
Power
Your TV operates on 120 Volts, 60 Hz (normal household current).
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 interference from the TV.
LBefore using the television, prepare the Remote Control
To use the remote control, insert batteries first.
Insert the batteries
•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/dterminals with the e/dmarks inside the
compartment.
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.

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.
Note:
•Consult your SHARP Dealer or Service Center for the type of splitter, RF switch or combiner that
might be required.

LHOW TO SET CLOSED CAPTION
• Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder. “Closed
Caption” is a system which allows you to view conversations, narration,
and sound effects in TV programs and home videos as subscript on
your TV screen as shown on the right.
• Not all the programs and videos will offer closed caption. Please look
for the “ ” symbol to ensure that captions will be shown.
• Closed Caption broadcast can be viewed in two modes: CAPTION
and TEXT. For each mode, two channels are available, CH1 and CH2:
The [CAPTION] mode subscripts dialogues and commentaries of TV
dramas and news programs while allowing clear view of the picture.
The [TEXT] mode displays over the picture other various information
(such as TV program schedule, weather forecast, etc.) that is
independent of the TV programs.

4Press CH UP ( 8 ) or DOWN ( 9 ) to move the “ ” mark to either
“MODE”or “DATA”.
5Press VOL (+) or (–) to change the CLOSED CAPTION setting.
6Press MENU to exit.
Note:
•If a broadcast has CLOSED CAPTION and the MUTE button is pressed, the set enters [CAPTION]
mode automatically. Pressing MUTE again will return the set to its previous condition.
•Closed Caption may malfunction (white blocks, strange characters, etc.) if signal conditions are poor
or if there are problems at the broadcast source. This does not necessarily indicate a problem with
your TV.
•If any button is pressed to call up the ON SCREEN DISPLAY while viewing a CLOSED CAPTION
broadcast, the closed captions will disappear momentarily.
•When viewing in TEXT mode, if no TEXT broadcast is being received, for some programs the screen
may become dark and blank. Should this occur, set the Closed Caption mode to “OFF”.
