6. Description of terms
In case during the installation of satellite channels on your 812 or 822 series
SHARP LCD television you encounter problems or questions, refer to these
installation guidelines.
In the following part of the manual you will find examples of installations and
answers to frequently asked questions concerning the above-mentioned
device series:
When the device has already been fully installed:
In course of the first installation the device didn't find the expected stations?
Search for satellites hasn't been fully carried out?
The number of found stations seems to small?
Remedy:
First of all run a software update, so that the device has the latest software!
(Update 8/8/10 = Version 1.06) The software can be found in the service area
of SHARP website.
After updating software start the installation of the TV again!
In order to do so enter the menu “Set up“
After entering the menu highlight „ Reset“ and confirm your choice with the
„OK “-button on the remote control. Confirm the resetting and
restarting of the device (see user manual). This will take a few seconds. After
this the image of first installation will appear on the device.

later you need coded channels, you will have to repeat the installation
process.
Now highlight the option "Start search" and confirm the choice with the „OK
“-button on the remote control. (The symbol rates are standard values and
ususally don't have to be changed, exceptions listed in the chapter "Receive

After pressing the „OK“ button you will see the following:
Don't change anything and confirm "Yes" with the „OK“ button on the
remote control.
Now you will see the following:
The device has started automatic search for tv stations.
The installation of satellite channels may, according to chosen settings or
the chosen system configuration take more or less time.
After the end of the automatic search the following image will appear:

Page - 10 -
After choosing the mode of sorting and confrming it with „OK“ the TV will
start displaying the tv-station which is stored at channel slot number one.
! Take into consideration the fact that the device may have more than one
satellite channel list. Depending on the chosen system configuration there
could be up to 4 various lists, which can be called up with the "SAT"
button on the remote control. They are named SAT 1 to SAT 4 and after
changing channel or by pressing the Info button the name of the current
list will be displayed in the upper right corner of the screen (see
photograph below). Lists which are not needed (e.g. in case of receiving
signal only from Astra), can be hidden by using the menu (see user
manual, "Input skip").

Page - 15 -
! Don't use the function key "Delete"- yellow button in the on-screen
menu - in order to delete channels, before you sort all channels, as other
channels will also be deleted. This would mean that you would have to
spend a lot of time allocating other channels. These channels would not
appear on the list of stored channels any more. This leads to a situation in
which some channels from the normal sequence are missing (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 5,
9…., e.g. the programs 4, 7, 8 would be missing).
It is best to remove unwanted channels by moving from the list in a
manner described below.
Using arrow keys choose the channel which is supposed to be moved. With
the „B“ (blue) button you can mark the channel (e.g. VOX). The following
image appears:
Using arrow keys on the remote control choose the new position:
You can also look through the list of channels going 10 channels back or
forth at a time, by using the arrow key "Left" and "Right" on the
navigation panel of the remote control.

Further steps for moving channels in the following screen:
Confirm the newly chosen channel location by pressing „OK“ button on the
remote control. The channel will be moved to the chosen location and the
following channels will be moved one place ahead.

3. Receive signal from special satellites
If satellites other than provided in the menu are received, e.g. Türksat
or Eutelsat 4/5, in the satellite selection the point „others“ can be chosen.
The search settings must usually then be adapted to these satellites.
Example: Change symbol rate:
Instead of „Start search", choose the point „Change settings" and the
following image will appear.
Start search

Page - 18 -
Choose the point „SAT-Symbolrate 1“ and change the symbol rate over the
digit keyboard of the remote control, as shown on the following image.
If necessary carry out the same action with regard to „SAT-symbol rate 2“.
You can find the right value for symbol rates in the Internet at the website of
the relevant satellite operator or the program provider.
Important: You can pre-program 2 symbol rates per one search run. In
case on the satellite more symbol rates are available, by using the point of
menu "Additional search" you can carry out many additional searches with
further 2 symbol rates each, till all symbol rates are found.

4. Special case: attenuator
In some rare cases it may happen that during the reception of HD channel
for a short time small squares appear on the screen or the sound stalls.
Often such effects are caused by the fact that the level of the satellite antenna
is too high.
First of all check whether the device has the latest software.
If necessary download software updates from the following website:
http://www.sharp.de/cps/rde/xchg/de/hs.xsl/-
/html/service_downloads.htm.
If the above-mentioned error still appears after updating software, it is
recommended to to reduce the level of the satellite antenna with the
attenuator.
In order to set the actuator correctly, you can use the gauge of reception field
strength and quality in the device menu. Switch the tv on in the satellite
reception mode and choose a free HD channel and later choose the following
options:
„Menu > Setup > Settings > Channel settings > Antenna setup digital"
Possibly you will be asked to enter PIN-code. Enter the 4-digit PIN number.
Now choose „Satellite set-up“ the following image will appear.

Page - 20 -
Choose „Test antenna“ and the following image will be shown:
Using the attenuator change the input level of the device, but
during the process observe the „Quality“ scale and using the atennuator set
the possibly highest value. It should reach 37-42. A value of over 42 is also
good. While setting quality pay attention to the „Signal strength“ scale,
when quality is set at maximum, the value of signal strength shouldn't sink
below 60 (dB), so that also in bad weather the signal is sufficient.
After successful setting errors in reception of HD channels don't appear any
more.
