• Fornormal operation,yourTV shouldbe locatedin anarea oftheroom wherecool adequateventilation
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
YourTV operates on 120Volts, 60 Hz (29SL82M)/110-220Volts, 50/60 Hz (26SL72/29SL82) (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 inTV 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 theTV.
LBefore using the television, prepare the Remote Control
To use the remote control, insert batteries first.
Insert the batteries

Antenna Connections
1. A75ohm system isgenerallya round cablewithF-
type connector that can easily be attached to a
terminal without tools (not supplied).
2. A 300 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
75-ohm coaxial cable (round)
300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)

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
• 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.
