Dear SHARP customer
Thank you for your purchase of the SHARP LCD color TV product. To ensure safety and many
years of trouble-free operation of your product, please read the Important Safety Precautions
carefully before using this product.
Important Safety Precautions
• Cleaning — Unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet before cleaning the product. Use a soft damp cloth to clean the
product. Do not use liquid cleaners, aerosol cleaners or chemical cloth to clean it, as such materials may damage the
product.
• 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 struck forcefully or with a
sharp object. 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 power cord under the TV set or other heavy items.
• Do not place heavy objects on this product or stand on it. Doing so could cause injury if the product overturns. Take
special care near children and pets.
• The LCD panel is a very high technology product with 1,049,088 pixels, 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 or otherwise putting pressure onto the display. Be sure to always carry
the TV by two people holding it with two hands — one hand on each side of the TV.
• Do not display a still picture for a long time, as this could cause an afterimage to remain.
• Install the product on the place where the AC cord can be unplugged easily from the AC outlet, or from the AC INPUT
terminal on the rear of the product.

Appendix
Troubleshooting
The problems described below are not always caused by malfunctions. Check the TV again before having the
TV serviced.
Problem Possible Solution
• No power. • Check if you pressed POWER on the remote control unit. (See page 6.)
If the indicator on the TV lights up red, press POWER.
• Is the AC cord disconnected?
• Has the power been turned on? (See page 6.)
• Unit cannot be operated. • External influences such as lightning, static electricity, etc., may cause improper
operation. In this case, operate the unit after first turning the power off the TV or
unplugging the AC cord and re-plugging it in after 1 or 2 minutes.
• Remote control unit does not
operate.
• Is battery inserted with polarity (e, f) aligned? (See page 5.)
• Is battery worn out? (Replace with new battery.)
• Are you using it under strong or fluorescent lighting?
• Is a fluorescent light shining on the remote control sensor?
• Picture is cut off. • Is the image position correct? (See page 10.)
• Are screen mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly? (See pages 10 to
13.)
• Strange color, light color, or
dark, or color misalignment.
• Adjust the picture tone. (See page 9.)
• Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright.
• Check the color system setting. (See page 12.)
• Check the input signal setting. (See page 12.)
• Check the HDMI auto view setting. (See page 11.)
• Power is suddenly turned off. • The unit’s internal temperature has increased.
Remove any objects blocking the vent or clean.
• Check the ECO setting. (See pages 9, 10.)
• Is the sleep timer set? (See page 5.)
• No picture. • Is the connection to external equipment correct? (See page 4.)
• Has the input signal setup been performed correctly after connection? (See page 12.)
• Is the picture adjustment correct? (See page 9.)
• Is the antenna connected properly? (See page 3.)
• Is “On” selected in “Audio Only”? (See page 12.)
• No sound. • Is the volume too low? (See page 5.)
• The TV sometimes makes a
cracking sound.
• This is not a malfunction. This happens when the cabinet slightly expands and
contracts according to changes in temperature. This does not affect the TV’s
performance.
Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments
• When the unit is used in a low temperature space (e.g. room, office), the picture may leave trails or appear slightly
delayed. This is not a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperature returns to normal.
• Do not leave the unit in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight or near
a heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform and the LCD panel to malfunction.
Storage temperature:
f20°C to e60°C.

2The password input screen displays.
3If you enter “3001” using 0 – 9, the “Child Lock” setting menu will be displayed.
4Enter the 4-digit number as a password using 0 – 9. The new password is now set.
