WARNING - FCC Regulations state that any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the
manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
Welcome to the SHARP Family. We are pleased that you are now the owner of a SHARP Color Television –built for outstanding quality, reliability
and performance.
Every SHARP Color Television set is properly tuned and adjusted for a proper color picture and sound, and has passed through the most stringent
quality control tests at the factory. We have prepared this OPERATION MANUAL so that you may adjust the picture and color to your personal
viewing preference.
We sincerely hope that you receive the utmost satisfaction and enjoyment from your new SHARP Color Television set for years to come.
Please read these instructions carefully, and keep them handy for your future reference.
The lightning flash with arrowhead within a triangle is intended to tell
the user that parts inside the product are a risk of electric shock to
persons.
The exclamation point within a triangle is intended to tell the user that
important operating and servicing instructions are in the papers with
the appliance.
Important Information
Model No.:
Serial No.:
There are two important reasons for prompt warranty registration of your new SHARP television set, using the REGISTRATION CARD packed
in with the set.
FIRST – WARRANTY
This is to assure that you will immediately receive the full consumer benefit of the parts, service and labor warranty applicable to your purchase.
SECOND – CONSUMER PRODUCT SAFETY ACT
To assure that you will promptly receive any safety notification on inspection, modification or recall that SHARP may be required to give under
the 1972 Consumer Product Safety Act. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY THE IMPORTANT “LIMITED WARRANTY”CLAUSE ON THE LAST
PAGE.
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.
IMPORTANT:
To aid reporting in case of loss or theft, please record the TV’s model and serial numbers in the
space provided. The numbers are located at the rear of the TV.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO
WET LOCATIONS.
WARNING:
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE
PERSONNEL.
“Note to CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the National
Electrical Code that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the
grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.”

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 this TV set.
Power
Your TV operates on 120 Volts, 60 Hertz (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.
•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, 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 the AM broadcasts, turn the TV off. AM broadcast signals may not be received due to the interference of the TV.
Before using the television, prepare the Remote Control.
To use the remote control, insert batteries first.
•With your thumbnail, pull up the slit as indicated by the arrow to
remove the back cover. Insert two batteries (size “AA”). Be sure

1. A 75 ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type connector that can easily be
attached to a terminal without tools. The F-type connector should be finger tightened
only.
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:
Antenna Connections
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.
A. Combination VHF/UHF Antennas B. Separate VHF/UHF Antenna
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. (Set 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.
• Consult your SHARP Dealer or Service Center for the type of splitter, RF switch or combiner that might be required.

LV-CHIP
• This function allows you to restrict TV programs and also allows you to control TV usage based on FCC data. This function is to prevent your
children from watching violence or sexual scenes that may be harmful.
• Restriction of TV programs includes two characters that contain information about the program’s MPAArating and the TV Parental Guidelines.
MPAA is restricted by age. TV Parental Guidelines are restricted by age and contents.
• Since a TV program may use either the MPAA rating or the TV Guidelines you should adjust both for complete control.
[1] MPAA RATING
RATING
G GENERAL AUDIENCES. All ages admitted.
PG PARENTAL GUIDANCE SUGGESTED. Some material may not be suitable for children.
PG-13 PARENTS STRONGLY CAUTIONED. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.
R RESTRICTED. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian.
NC-17 NO ONE 17 AND UNDER ADMITTED.
X X Rating is an older rating that is unified with NC-17 but may be encoded on older movie’s data.Note:
•MPAA RATING (Example)
Example 1.
“PG-13” in the age-based
RATING is blocked. This will
automatically block the high
ratings “R”, “NC-17”, “X” also.
• MPAA RATING is only age-based ratings.
[2] TV PARENTAL GUIDELINES
y content base x
FV V S L D
RATING (Fantasy (Violence) (Sexual (Adult (Sexually

TV-Y7 (Direct to Older Children) X XXX X
TV-G (General Audience) XXXX X
TV-PG (Parental Guidance Suggested) XXXX X
TV-14 (Parents Strongly Cautioned) XXXX X
TV-MA (Mature Audience Only) XXXXX
X: Content Rating can be set.
X: Content Rating can not be set (not normally broadcast by TV station).
•TV-PARENTAL GUIDELINES (Example)
Example 1.
If “TV-Y7” in age-based rating is “BLOCK” then this will
automatically block the higher ratings “TV-G”, “TV-PG”, “TV-14”
and “TV-MA”. Furthermore, the “D”, “L”, “S”, “V”,and “FV” in
“CONTENT” are automatically blocked for “TV-Y7” as well unless
you choose to unblock each one.
• Age-based ratings can be modified by the content-based ratings but only in the combinations indicated by an X in the table above.
• Choosing a lower age-based rating blocks the higher age-based ratings regardless of content ratings settings.
• An unblocked CONTENT RATING will override its respective AGE RATING, even when that AGE RATING is set to BLOCK. (For example,
if FCC data is “TV-PG” & “D”, then TV program is still viewable if CONTENT “D” is unblocked for “TV-PG” regardless if “TV-PG” AGE
RATING is also blocked.)
