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 tuned and adjusted for proper color 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 greatest 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.
IMPORTANT Model No.:
To aid reporting in case of loss or theft, please record the TV's
model and serial numbers in the space provided. The numbers Serial No.:
are located at the rear of the TV.
There are two important reasons for prompt warranty registration of your new SHARP television set. Use
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, t 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.

B. If liquid has been spilled into the television equipment.
C. If the television equipment has been exposed to rain or water.
D. If the television equipment does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust
only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the television equipment to normal operation.
E. If the television equipment has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
E When the television equipment exhibits a distinct change in performance -- this indicates a need for
service.

Location
• For normal operation, your TV should be located in an area of the room where cool adequate ventilation
is provided. De 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
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.
• 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 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 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 the TV.
•Before using the television, prepare the Remote Control
To use the remote control, insert batteries first.

Pull up Cover
• With your thumbnail, pull up the slitas indicated by the arrow to remove the back cover. Insert two batteries
(size "AA"). Be sure to match the battery @/® terminals with the @/O marks inside the compartment.
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:
1. A 75 ohm system is generally a round cable with
F-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).

• 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/
RF switch (not supplied) descrambler using the converter's channel keys.
