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.
Afterthe2 hours evaporation period, youmaywitness a “snowy”picture forthefirst few minutes of VCRoperation.
This picture noise will disappear shortly thereafter.
CAUTION:
DO NOT PLACE THIS PRODUCT ON AN UNSTABLE CART, STAND,
TRIPOD, BRACKET, OR TABLE. THE PRODUCT MAY FALL CAUSING
SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE
PRODUCT. USE ONLY WITH A CART, STAND, TRIPOD, BRACKET, OR
TABLERECOMMENDED BYTHEMANUFACTURER ORSOLD WITHTHE
PRODUCT. FOLLOW THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS WHEN
INSTALLING THE PRODUCT AND USE MOUNTING ACCESSORIES
RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
A PRODUCT AND CART COMBINATION SHOULD BE MOVED WITH
CARE. QUICK STOPS, EXCESSIVE FORCE, AND UNEVEN SURFACES
MAYCAUSE THEPRODUCT ANDCART COMBINATIONTO OVERTURN.
CAUTION:
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG
TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT.
Energy efficiency is becoming increasingly important to consumers both in the US and in Canada. ENERGY STAR is a US
registered trademark to indicate that a product meets its guidelines for energy efficiency.
WHAT IS ENERGY STAR ®
TVs and VCRs use energy both when they are on and when they are off. NorthAmericans 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 North 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.

•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) 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:
•Ifthe set willnotbe used foralong period, suchasduring a vacation,unplug the set fromthe wall outlet toeconomize 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 anAM broadcast, turn the TV off.AM broadcast signals may not be received due to interference from
theTV.

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.
CABLE TV (CATV) CONNECTION
•A75 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,
acableTVconverter/descramblerisgenerallyprovidedtothesubscriberbythecableTV company.Thisconverter/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.

2. A300 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).
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:
F-type connector

useful for indexing segments on the tape for future reference. The tape counter can be displayed on the TV screen by pressing the
DISPLAY button. To reset the tape counter, press the COUNTER RESET button.
Note:
•The tape counter number does not change when playing back an unrecorded portion of a tape. If the counter number stops during
fast forward or rewind, that portion of the tape is unrecorded.
