Before OperatingYour Television

Location

• For normal operation, yourTV 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 the TV set.

Power

YourTV 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:

• If the set is not going to 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.

Inserting the batteries

Pull up

Battery

Cover

• With your thumbnail, pull up the slit as indicated by the arrow to remove the battery cover. Insert two

batteries (size “AA”). Be sure to match the battery m/, terminals with the m/, marks inside the

compartment.

Antenna Connections

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

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).

75-ohm coaxial cable (round)

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).

300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)

• 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 theTV’s

channel keys.

INFORMACIÓN IMPORTANTE

Existen dos razones importantes para registrar dentro del plazo límite la garantía de su nuevo televisor

SHARP, mediante la TARJETA DE REGISTRO incluida con el aparato.

PRIMERA – GARANTÍA

Garantiza al cliente la recepción inmediata de todas las prestaciones de consumidor en cuanto a piezas, servicio

técnico y mano de obra aplicable a su adquisición.

SEGUNDA – ACTA DE SEGURIDAD DE PRODUCTOS DE CONSUMIDOR

Con el fin de garantizar al cliente la recepción puntual de cualquier notificación de seguridad sobre inspección,

modificación o cancelación que se le pueda solicitar a SHARP bajo el Acta de seguridad de productos de

consumidor de 1972.LEA CUIDADOSAMENTE LA CLÁUSULA “GARANTÍA LIMITADA”DE LA ÚLTIMA PÁGINA.

¿QUÉ ES ENERGY STAR

Los televisores y las videograbadoras utilizan energía cuando están encendidos ó apagados.Los norteamericanos

gastan más de 1 billón de dólares al año en la energía que consumen televisores y videograbadoras cuando no

se encuentran en uso. Los nuevos modelos ENERGY STAR reducen esa “fuga” de energía hasta en un 75

por ciento. Esto implica más de 500 millones de dólares al año en ahorro de energía para los consumidores.

El ahorro de energía ayuda a reducir el consumo de combustibles fósiles y por tanto la contaminación por

dióxido de carbono que contribuye al calentamiento global. Si cada familia norteamericana sustituyera sus

televisores y videograbadoras por modelos ENERGY STAR , se reducirían las emisiones de dióxido de carbono

en cinco millones de toneladas cada año (equivalente a eliminar la contaminación procedente de más de un

millón de automóviles).

El uso de productos ENERGY STAR permite reducir el monto de las facturas de energía eléctrica y consumir

menos energía. De este modo ahorrará dinero y ayudará a proteger el medio ambiente.

LISEZ ATTENTIVEMENT LE PARAGRAPHE «GARANTIE LIMITEE» DE LA DERNIÈRE PAGE.

ENERGY STAR : QU’EST-CE QUEC’EST

Les téléviseurs et les magnétoscopes utilisent de l’énergie lorsqu’ils sont allumés et éteints. Les Américains dépensent

plus d’1 milliard de dollars par an en énergie consommée par les téléviseurs et les magnétoscopes une fois éteints. Les

nouveaux modèles ENERGY STAR réduisent jusqu’à 75 % ce gaspillage d’énergie. Ce qui représente finalement

plus de 500 millions de dollars par an d’économie d’énergie pour les consommateurs.

Ces économies aident à réduire la combustion des énergies fossiles et la pollution au gaz carbonique associée, qui

contribue au réchauffement de la planète. Si toutes les familles américaines remplaçaient leurs téléviseurs et leurs

magnétoscopes par des modèles ENERGY STAR , les émissions de gaz carbonique seraient réduites de cinq millions

de tonnes par an — ce qui reviendrait à éliminer la pollution émise par plus d’un million de voitures.

En utilisant les produits ENERGY STAR , vous économiserez également de l’argent sur vos factures d’électricité et

vous utiliserez moins d’énergie. Un peu de bon sens économique au profit de notre environnement !

PRÉCAUTIONS IMPORTANTES

ATTENTION :Veuillez lire toutes ces instructions avant d’utiliser votre télévision et conservez-

les pour un usage ultérieur.

L’énergie électrique peut exécuter de nombreuses fonctions utiles. Cet appareil a été conçu et fabriqué de façon

à garantir votre entière sécurité. CEPENDANT, TOUTE UTILISATION INADEQUATE PEUT ENTRAINER DES

RISQUES D’ELECTROCUTION OU D’INCENDIE.Afin de ne pas détruire les protections intégrées à cet appareil,

respectez les règles de base suivantes pour son installation, son utilisation et sa maintenance.

Débranchez la télévision avant de la nettoyer.

N’utilisez pas de nettoyants liquides ou d’aérosols et utilisez un chiffon humide.

N’utilisez pas d’accessoires déconseillés par le fabricant de matériel vidéo, car ils impliquent des risques.

N’utilisez pas cette télévision à proximité d’eau — par exemple, près d’une baignoire, d’un lavabo, d’un

évier ou d’un bac à laver, dans une cave humide ou près d’une piscine, etc.

Ne placez pas cet équipement sur un chariot, un support ou une table instable. La télévision peut tomber

et provoquer de graves lésions à toute personne et causer de sérieux dommages à l’équipement. Utilisez

uniquement un support ou un chariot recommandé par le fabricant ou vendu avec la

télévision.

L’ensemble télévision-chariot doit être déplacé délicatement. Les arrêts brusques, une

force excessive et des surfaces inégales peuvent renverser l’ensemble.

L’installation au mur ou sur une tablette doit être réalisée conformément aux instructions

à votre équipement suite à la foudre et des poussées de tension.

16. Un système d’antenne extérieure ne doit pas être situé à proximité de lignes aériennes ou d’autres

groupes électrogènes ou circuits électriques ou dans des emplacements où l’antenne pourrait tomber sur

ce type de lignes ou circuits. Lors de l’installation d’un système d’antenne extérieure, faites extrêmement

attention à ne pas entrer en contact avec ces lignes ou circuits, car cela pourrait vous être fatal.

17. Ne surchargez pas les prises et les prolongateurs de ligne afin d’éviter tout risque d’incendie ou

d’électrocution.

18. N’introduisez jamais d’objets à travers les fentes du châssis, car ils pourraient entrer en contact avec des

points de tension dangereux ou des pièces court-circuitées et provoquer ainsi un incendie ou une

électrocution. Ne répandez jamais de liquides sur la télévision.

19. N’essayez pas de réparer vous-même votre télévision. L’ouverture ou le retrait des capots peut vous

exposer à une tension dangereuse ou à d’autres risques. Confiez toutes les opérations de maintenance

à un personnel qualifié.

20. Lorsque vous êtes confronté aux situations suivantes, débranchez la télévision et confiez toutes les

opérations de maintenance à un personnel qualifié :
