Other
Problem
Possible causes and solutions
The TV operates incorrectly.
• Some TVs with wireless remote control capability may operate incorrectly when
using the remote control of this Player. Use such TVs away from this Player.
The Player heats up during use.
POWER indicator will remain lit.
• When using this Player, the console cabinet may heat up depending on the usage
environment. This is not a malfunction.
• When the AC cord is removed from the outlet, the POWER indicator will remain lit
for a short period. This is normal and is not a malfunction.
To Reset this Player
• If this Player receives strong interference from a source such as excessive static electricity,
strong external noise, malfunction of power supply, or voltage caused by lightning during
use or a wrong operation is sent to the Player, errors like the Player not accepting an
operation may occur.
POWER
Press and hold POWER on the Player until “
” appears on the front panel display
when the Player does not operate properly even after the power has been turned off. Then,
after the POWER indicator is lit, turn on the power.
• When a reset is performed while the power is on, the Player will turn off. Turn the power on again. At this point, it may take
a few moments for the system processing to finish before the Player is ready for use. During the system processing, the
BD/DVD/CD mode indicator on the front panel display of the Player will blink. Once the system processing has finished, the
indicator will finish blinking and then light up normally. You can operate the Player when the BD/DVD/CD mode indicator is lit.
• Since all settings including the language setting stored in memory are also reset when a reset has been performed, they must
be set again.
• When the problem persists even after performing a reset, unplug the AC cord and plug it in again. If this does not solve the
problem, contact the nearest service center approved by SHARP.

Upscaling (upconverting) refers to a function of various
players and devices that enlarge the image size to fit the
size of the screen of video equipments such as a TV.
A screen size with black bars on the top and bottom
of the image to allow viewing of wide-screen (16:9)

DVD video (pages 7, 27)
Linear PCM Sound
A disc format that contains up to eight hours of moving
pictures on a disc the same diameter as a CD. A single-
layer single sided DVD holds up to 4.7 GB; a double
layer single-sided DVD, 8.5 GB; a single layer double-
sided DVD, 9.4 GB; double-layer double-sided DVD, 17
GB. The MPEG 2 format was adopted for efficient video
data compression. It is a variable rate technology that
encodes the data to according to the status of the video
for reproducing high-quality images. Audio information
is recorded in a multi-channel format such as Dolby
Digital, allowing for a realistic audio presence.
Linear PCM is a signal recording format used for Audio
CDs and on some DVD and Blu-ray discs. The sound
on Audio CDs is recorded at 44.1 kHz with 16 bits.
(Sound is recorded between 48 kHz with 16 bits and
96 kHz with 24 bits on DVD video discs and between
48 kHz with 16 bits and 192 kHz with 24 bits on BD
video discs.)
MP3 (pages 7, 8, 33)
MP3 files are audio data compressed in the MPEG1/2
Audio layer-3 file format. “MP3 files” have “.mp3” as
extensions.
DVD+/-R (pages 7, 27)
MPEG-2
A DVD+/-R is a recordable, write-once DVD. Since
contents can be recorded and cannot be overwritten,
a DVD+/-R can be used to archive data or for storing
and distributing video material. The DVD+/-R has
two different formats: VR format and Video format.
DVDs created in Video format have the same format
as a DVD video, while discs created in VR (Video
Recording) format allow the contents to be programed
or edited.
MPEG-2 (Moving Picture Experts Group phase 2) is
one of the video data compression schemes, which
is adopted for DVD videos and digital broadcasts
worldwide. Some Blu-ray Discs also use high bitrate
MPEG-2.
Multi Angle (pages 45–47)
This is a feature of DVD and BD video discs. In some
discs, the same scene is shot from different angles,
and these are stored in a single disc so you can enjoy
playback from each angle. (This function can be
enjoyed if the disc is recorded with multiple angles.)
DVD+/-RW (pages 7, 27)
A DVD+/-RW is a recordable and rewritable DVD. The
re-recordable feature makes editing possible. The
DVD+/-RW has two different formats: VR format and
Video format. DVDs created in Video format have the
same format as a DVD video, while discs created in
VR (Video Recording) format allow the contents to be
programed or edited.
Multi Audio
This is a feature of DVD and BD video discs. This
function makes it possible to record different audio
tracks for the same video, so you can enhance your
enjoyment by switching the audio. (You can enjoy
this function with discs recorded with multiple audio
tracks.)
HDMI (page 15)
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an
interface that supports both video and audio on
a single digital connection. The HDMI connection

and multi-channel audio signals to AV components
such as HDMI equipped TVs, in digital form without
degradation.

Pan Scan (PS 4:3) (page 49)
A screen size that cuts off the sides of the image
to allow viewing of wide-screen (16:9) material on a
connected 4:3 TV.
Infrastructure mode (page 20)
Infrastructure mode is a wireless LAN communication
format. This performs wireless communication through
an access point.
Parental control (page 51)
In some digital broadcasts and BD/DVD video discs,
a control level for disc viewing is set depending on
the age of the viewer. With this Player, you can set the
control level for viewing such broadcasts and discs.
Interlace format
Interlace format shows every other line of an image
as a single “field” and is the standard method for
displaying images on television. The even numbered
field shows the even numbered lines of an image, and
the odd numbered field shows the odd numbered lines
of an image.
Pop-up menu (page 28)
An enhanced menu operation available on BD video
discs. The pop-up menu appears when POP-UP
MENU is pressed during playback, and can be
operated while playback is in progress.
JPEG (pages 7, 8, 34, 35)
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) is a still
image data compression format and is used in most of
digital cameras.
70
Glossary
Progressive format
Compared to the Interlace format that alternately
shows every other line of an image (field) to create one
frame, the Progressive format shows the entire image
at once as a single frame. This means that while the
Interlace format can show 30 frames/60 fields in one
second, the Progressive format can show 60 frames in
one second. The overall picture quality increases and
still images, text, and horizontal lines appear sharper.
Region code (page 7)
Code identifying a geographic region of compatibility
for a BD/DVD.
Resume playback (page 27)
If you stop playback while it is in progress, the Player
stores the stop position in memory, and this function
lets you playback from that point.
RSS (page 25)

information in a scrolling text format from a web.

These are the lines of text appearing at the bottom of
the screen which translate or transcribe the dialog.
They are recorded on many DVD and BD video discs.
Time number
This indicates the play time which has elapsed from
the start of a disc or a title. It can be used to find a
specific scene quickly. (It may not work with some
discs.)
Title number (pages 46, 47)
These numbers are recorded on DVD and Blu-ray
discs. When a disc contains two or more movies,
these movies are numbered as title 1, title 2, etc.
Top menu (page 28)

things like the chapter to be played back and the
subtitle language. In some DVD videos, the top menu
may be called the “Title Menu”.
Track number (pages 46, 47)
These numbers are assigned to the tracks which are
recorded on audio CDs. They enable specific tracks to
be located quickly.
x.v.Color

eye can detect. (Applicable for JPEG files only with this
system)
YouTube (pages 38–41)
