SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.
The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 13A fuse. Should the
fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked or
ASA
and of the same rating as above,
which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used.
Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fitted.
In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut off the mains
plug and fit an appropriate type.
DANGER:
The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and disposed of in a
safe manner.
Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet, as a serious electric
shock may occur.
To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:
IMPORTANT:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or coloured black.
• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red.
Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug.
Before replacing the plug cover make sure that:
• If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug.
• The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead, and not simply over the lead wires.
IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Licensing LLC.”
Dear SHARP customer
• 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 dropped or impact
applied. 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 cord under the TV set or other heavy items.
• Do not display a still picture for a long time, as this could cause an afterimage to remain.
• There is power consumption always if main plug is connected.
• Servicing—Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to high
voltage and other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified person to perform servicing.
The LCD panel is a very high technology product, 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.

injuries.
• When you use the AN-52AG4 (SHARP) wall mount
bracket, set the angle of the TV to 0° or 5°. Do not set
the angle to more than 10°.
• Installing the LCD Colour TV requires special skill
that should only be performed by qualified service
personnel. Customers should not attempt to do the
work themselves. SHARP bears no responsibility
for improper mounting or mounting that results in
accident or injury.
• You can ask a qualified service personnel about using an

Preparation
Inserting the batteries
Before using the TV for the first time, insert two “AAA” size batteries (supplied). When the batteries become
depleted and the remote control unit fails to operate, replace the batteries with new “AAA” size batteries.
Open the battery cover.
Insert two supplied “AAA” alkaline size batteries.
• Place batteries with their terminals corresponding
to the (k) and (l) indications in the battery
compartment.
Close the battery cover.
CAUTION
Improper use of batteries can result in chemical leakage or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.
• Do not mix batteries of different types. Different types of batteries have different characteristics.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries or cause chemical
leakage in old batteries.
• Remove batteries as soon as they have worn out. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If you find any
chemical leakage, wipe thoroughly with a cloth.
• When replacing the batteries, use alkaline batteries instead of manganese ones.
• Do not overuse the light-up function of the LIGHT Dbutton, doing so may shorten the battery life. Replace the batteries
when the light on the LCD window or the light-up function becomes weak or when the window becomes
blurry.
• Do not continue to use the remote control unit with the batteries running low. This may result in
error message or malfunction. Should this happen replace the batteries and leave it unused for
a while. Otherwise, you may open the rear battery cover and press the RESET button. When
you press the RESET button, your Universal remote control settings will be deleted.
• The remote control unit has a internal memory of external devices. In order not to lose the
data, replace the batteries quickly. If the manufacturer code is initialised and lost, you can input
the manufacturer code again. (See page 55.)
• The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions.
• If you will not be using the remote control unit for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from it.
Note on disposing batteries:
The batteries provided contain no harmful materials such as cadmium, lead or mercury.
Regulations concerning used batteries stipulate that batteries may no longer be thrown out with the household
rubbish. Deposit any used batteries free of charge into the designated collection containers set up at commercial
businesses.

Items Explanation
Antenna
DVB-C
The conventional settings will be derived from
the selection of set location. Only change this
if you know other symbol rates and modulation
types or if you have to specify the network ID for
your cable network (information available from
your cable network provider). If you want to run
the station search independently of the channel
grid, select frequency search for the search
method.
Antenna
DVB-S
Select which satellite(s) you receive from a list.
For more than one satellite, select the type of
your changeover switch or communal satellite
system additionally. Ask your dealer in this
regard.
High band
Specify here whether the high band of the
selected satellite is to be searched in addition to
the low band.
LNB
frequencies
Low Band/High
Band
Normally, you do not need to change the values
for high and low band, unless the LNC (LNB) of
your satellite system uses a different oscillator
frequency (important for the frequency display).
After you have made these settings, you should
receive the picture and sound of the selected
satellites (only with Astra1 and HOTBIRD).
Symbol rates
The symbol rates are specified by the satellite
provider and do not normally need to be
changed.
Favoured signal
source
Select the signal source from a list, the station
of which is to be at the top of your station list
(starting with station slot 1).
• If you want to use the AV Link function with an
externally connected recorder, the analogue
stations have to be between station slot 1 and
99.
Start search
Start the automatic station search with OK. First
TV stations, then radio stations are searched
for. The stations found in the automatic search
are divided into the appropriate station blocks
depending on the previously selected antenna
cables (signal sources). Subsequently the
stations can only be re-sorted within these
blocks. At the beginning of the station list
you will find the block with the stations of the
preferred signal source.
Any mixed sorting of stations from different
signal sources is only possible with the
favourites list.
Connecting
additional
devices
In conclusion the connection wizard will start;
with their help you can register and set your
video devices or decoders, and connect them to
the TV set. DVD players and DVD recorders are
already registered at the factory.
You can start the connection wizard manually
later and add new devices. Further information
is available on page 15 (Connection wizard) and
page 22 (Speaker/amplifier connection).
Room antenna With good reception conditions a room antenna
can be used for DVB-T (socket ANT2).
Active antenna
Under less favorable reception conditions, it is
advisable to use an active antenna which has to
be set accordingly in the initial installation or in
the “TV Menu > Connections > Antenna DVB >
Antenna DVB-T”. (See “Antenna DVB-T” on this
page).
Unidirectional
antenna
If the location is outside of the normal
transmission range then a directional antenna
can be used to improve reception quality.

Connecting external devices
HDMI connection
The HDMI connections (High Definition Multimedia
Interface) permit digital video and audio transmission
via a connection cable from a player.
The digital picture and sound data are transmitted
without data compression and therefore lose none of
their quality. Analogue/digital conversion is no longer
necessary in the connected devices, which also would
result in quality losses.
HDMI/DVI conversion
Using a DVI/HDMI adapter cable, the digital video
signals of a DVD or PC can also be played via the
compatible HDMI connection. The sound must be fed
in additionally.
HDMI and DVI both use the same HDCP copy
protection method.
Connecting the HDMI device
In “Connection wizard > AV equipment
selection”, select “HDMI/DVI”, and connect the
device accordingly.
• If an HDMI/DVI conversion cable is used, audio
signals must be fed separately to either DIGITAL
AUDIO (IN) or analogue AUDIO IN (L/R).
NOTE
• Video noise may occur depending on the type of HDMI
cable used. Make sure to use a certified HDMI cable.
• When playing an HDMI image, the best possible format for
the picture will be detected and set automatically.
Supported video signals:
VGA, 576i, 576p, 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p
See page 18 for PC signal compatibility.
If a connected HDMI device is AQUOS
LINK compatible, you can take advantage
of versatile functions using the AQUOS
LINK buttons on the remote control.
See pages 19 - 22 for details.
VGA/XGA connection (PC/
SetTopBox)
You can connect a PC or a SetTopBox (STB) to the
EXT 7 (ANALOG RGB) terminal and thus use the
screen of the TV set as an output device.
When connecting the PC, set the PC’s output
resolutions according to the capabilities of
the PC. For details, see page 18 for PC signal
compatibility.
When connecting a SetTopBox, set the
following screen resolutions according to the
capabilities of the SetTopBox:

sockets.
The connecting cable with three cinch plugs transmits
the picture information with better quality than a
SCART cable. You need an additional cable for audio
transmission.
The basic procedure of setting up a component
connection (cable connection and audio connection) is
the same as explained in the previous section, “VGA/
