SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K. 

The mains lead of this product is fi tted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 13A fuse. Should the 

fuse need to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked or ASA and of the same rating as above, 

which is also indicated on the pin face of the plug, must be used. 

Always refi t the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse cover fi tted. 

In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied, cut off the mains 

plug and fi t an appropriate type. 

DANGER: 

The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and disposed of in a 

safe manner. 

Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet, as a serious electric 

shock may occur. 

To fi t an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below: 

IMPORTANT: 

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: 

Blue: Neutral 

Brown: Live 

As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markings 

identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: 

• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or coloured black. 

• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red. 

Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug. 

Before replacing the plug cover make sure that: 

• If the new fi tted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug. 

• The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead, and not simply over the lead wires. 

IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.

Dear SHARP customer 

Thank you for your purchase of the SHARP LCD colour TV product. To ensure safety and many years of troublefree 

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 damp cloth to clean the product. 

Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. 

• 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 dropped or impact 

applied. 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 cord under the TV set or other heavy items. 

• Do not display a still picture for a long time, as this could cause an afterimage to remain. 

• There is power consumption always if main plug is connected. 

• Servicing—Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to high 

voltage and other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified person to perform servicing. 

The LCD panel is a very high technology product, 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 onto the speakers. Be sure to always carry the TV by two 

people holding it with two hands — one hand on each side of the TV.

Setting the TV on the wall 

• This TV should be mounted on the wall only with the 

wall mount bracket available from SHARP. (Page 

59) The use of other wall mount brackets may result 

in an unstable installation and may cause serious 

injuries. 

• When you use the AN-52AG4 (SHARP) wall mount 

bracket, set the angle of the TV to 0° or 5°. Do not set 

the angle to more than 10°. 

• Installing the LCD Colour TV requires special skill 

that should only be performed by qualified service 

personnel. Customers should not attempt to do the 

work themselves. SHARP bears no responsibility 

for improper mounting or mounting that results in 

accident or injury. 

• You can ask a qualified service personnel about using an 

optional bracket to mount the TV to the wall.

Preparation 

Inserting the batteries 

Before using the TV for the first time, insert two “AAA” size batteries (supplied). When the batteries become 

depleted and the remote control unit fails to operate, replace the batteries with new “AAA” size batteries. 

1 

2 

3 

Open the battery cover. 

Insert two supplied “AAA” alkaline size batteries. 

• Place batteries with their terminals corresponding 

to the (k) and (l) indications in the battery 

compartment. 

Close the battery cover. 

CAUTION 

Improper use of batteries can result in chemical leakage or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below. 

• Do not mix batteries of different types. Different types of batteries have different characteristics. 

• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries or cause chemical 

leakage in old batteries. 

• Remove batteries as soon as they have worn out. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If you find any 

chemical leakage, wipe thoroughly with a cloth. 

• When replacing the batteries, use alkaline batteries instead of manganese ones. 

• Do not overuse the light-up function of the LIGHT D button, doing so may shorten the battery life. Replace the batteries 

when the light on the LCD window or the light-up function becomes weak or when the window becomes 

blurry. 

• Do not continue to use the remote control unit with the batteries running low. This may result in 

error message or malfunction. Should this happen replace the batteries and leave it unused for 

a while. Otherwise, you may open the rear battery cover and press the RESET button. When 

you press the RESET button, your Universal remote control settings will be deleted. 

• The remote control unit has a internal memory of external devices. In order not to lose the 

data, replace the batteries quickly. If the manufacturer code is initialised and lost, you can input 

the manufacturer code again. (See page 55.) 

• The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions. 

• If you will not be using the remote control unit for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from it. 

Note on disposing batteries: 

The batteries provided contain no harmful materials such as cadmium, lead or mercury. 

Regulations concerning used batteries stipulate that batteries may no longer be thrown out with the household 

rubbish. Deposit any used batteries free of charge into the designated collection containers set up at commercial 

businesses. 

Using the remote control unit 

Use the remote control unit by pointing it 

towards the remote control sensor. Objects 

between the remote control unit and sensor 

may prevent proper operation. 

Cautions regarding the remote control unit 

• Do not expose the remote control unit to shock. 

In addition, do not expose the remote control unit to liquids, and do not place in an area 

with high humidity. 

• Do not install or place the remote control unit under direct sunlight. The heat may cause 

deformation of the unit.

The conventional settings will be derived from 

the selection of set location. Only change this 

if you know other symbol rates and modulation 

types or if you have to specify the network ID for 

your cable network (information available from 

your cable network provider). If you want to run 

the station search independently of the channel 

grid, select frequency search for the search 

method. 

Select which satellite(s) you receive from a list. 

For more than one satellite, select the type of 

your changeover switch or communal satellite 

system additionally. Ask your dealer in this 

regard. 

Specify here whether the high band of the 

selected satellite is to be searched in addition to 

the low band. 

Normally, you do not need to change the values 

for high and low band, unless the LNC (LNB) of 

your satellite system uses a different oscillator 

frequency (important for the frequency display). 

After you have made these settings, you should 

receive the picture and sound of the selected 

satellites (only with Astra1 and HOTBIRD). 

The symbol rates are specified by the satellite 

provider and do not normally need to be 

changed. 

Select the signal source from a list, the station 

of which is to be at the top of your station list 

(starting with station slot 1). 

• If you want to use the AV Link function with an 

externally connected recorder, the analogue 

stations have to be between station slot 1 and 

99. 

Start the automatic station search with OK. First 

TV stations, then radio stations are searched 

for. The stations found in the automatic search 

are divided into the appropriate station blocks 

depending on the previously selected antenna 

cables (signal sources). Subsequently the 

stations can only be re-sorted within these 

blocks. At the beginning of the station list 

you will find the block with the stations of the 

preferred signal source. 

Any mixed sorting of stations from different 

signal sources is only possible with the 

favourites list. 

In conclusion the connection wizard will start; 

with their help you can register and set your 

video devices or decoders, and connect them to 

the TV set. DVD players and DVD recorders are 

already registered at the factory. 

You can start the connection wizard manually 

later and add new devices. Further information 

is available on page 15 (Connection wizard) and 

page 22 (Speaker/amplifier connection). 

With good reception conditions a room antenna 

can be used for DVB-T (socket ANT2). 

Under less favorable reception conditions, it is 

advisable to use an active antenna which has to 

be set accordingly in the initial installation or in 

the “TV Menu > Connections > Antenna DVB > 

Antenna DVB-T”. (See “Antenna DVB-T” on this 

page). 

If the location is outside of the normal 

transmission range then a directional antenna 

can be used to improve reception quality.


Positioning/aligning DVB-T antenna 

If you are receiving one or more DVB-T stations with 

picture and sound interference then you should change 

the installation location and alignment of the antenna. 

Ask your dealer to tell you which channels are used to 

broadcast the DVB-T stations in your region.

HDMI connection 

(Optional audio 

connection) 

(Optional audio 

connection) 

The HDMI connections (High Definition Multimedia 

Interface) permit digital video and audio transmission 

via a connection cable from a player. 

The digital picture and sound data are transmitted 

without data compression and therefore lose none of 

their quality. Analogue/digital conversion is no longer 

necessary in the connected devices, which also would 

result in quality losses. 

HDMI/DVI conversion 

Using a DVI/HDMI adapter cable, the digital video 

signals of a DVD or PC can also be played via the 

compatible HDMI connection. The sound must be fed 

in additionally. 

HDMI and DVI both use the same HDCP copy 

protection method. 

Connecting the HDMI device 

In “Connection wizard > AV equipment 

selection”, select “HDMI/DVI”, and connect the 

device accordingly. 

• If an HDMI/DVI conversion cable is used, audio 

signals must be fed separately to either DIGITAL 

AUDIO (IN) or analogue AUDIO IN (L/R). 

NOTE 

• Video noise may occur depending on the type of HDMI 

cable used. Make sure to use a certified HDMI cable. 

• When playing an HDMI image, the best possible format for 

the picture will be detected and set automatically. 

Supported video signals: 

VGA, 576i, 576p, 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p 

See page 18 for PC signal compatibility. 

If a connected HDMI device is AQUOS 

LINK compatible, you can take advantage 

of versatile functions using the AQUOS 

LINK buttons on the remote control. 

See pages 19 - 22 for details. 

VGA/XGA connection (PC/ 

SetTopBox) 

You can connect a PC or a SetTopBox (STB) to the 

EXT 7 (ANALOG RGB) terminal and thus use the 

screen of the TV set as an output device. 

When connecting the PC, set the PC’s output 

resolutions according to the capabilities of 

the PC. For details, see page 18 for PC signal 

compatibility. 

When connecting a SetTopBox, set the 

following screen resolutions according to the 

capabilities of the SetTopBox: 

Supported video signals (for STB): 

576i, 576p, 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i

Analogue audio: 

Connect the analogue audio signal from the PC 

or the SetTopBox via stereo cable to the AUDIO 

IN (L/R) jack on the TV set. 

• The sound is played via the speakers connected to 

the TV set or a speaker system. 

Digital audio: 

• An external digital audio signal can be reproduced 

via the integrated Dolby Digital Decoder or via an 

externally connected digital audio amplifier. 

1 

Connect the digital audio signal from the PC or 

the SetTop-Box via a simple cinch cable to the 

DIGITAL AUDIO (IN) socket on the TV set. 

2 Then assign the digital audio input in “TV menu 

> Connections > Miscellaneous > Assign digital 

audio input”. 

For an external digital audio amplifier: 

1 Prerequisite: External audio amplifier is already 

connected. (Page 22) 

2 Feed the digital audio signal of the DIGITAL 

AUDIO (OUT) socket on the TV set to the 

external amplifier. 

Component connection (EXT3) 

DVD players/recorders with component video 

connections can also be connected to EXT 3 

(COMPONENT) of the TV set instead of to the SCART 

sockets. 

The connecting cable with three cinch plugs transmits 

the picture information with better quality than a 

SCART cable. You need an additional cable for audio 

transmission. 

The basic procedure of setting up a component 

connection (cable connection and audio connection) is 

the same as explained in the previous section, “VGA/ 

XGA connection (PC/SetTopBox)”, except: 

When adjusting the parameters in “Signal type 

at socket EXT3”, select “Automatic” if you are 

not sure. Read the operation manual of the 

external device for other options.

Data capture 

In analogue TV reception, there are possibly 

different providers who broadcast the EPG 

data for certain station packages. To get 

another range of stations, you can change 

the provider with the “Select provider”. If the 

provider you are looking for is not in the list, 

then press YELLOW to perform a Provider 

search. 

The stations offered by the provider will be 

displayed in a list. 

You can remove certain stations from the 

programme guide. These stations must be 

deactivated in the station selection. First, all 

stations for which programme information can 

be provided are marked with a ✔ . Stations 

without a ✔ are not included in the programme 

guide. 

Station markings according to reception 

ranges: 

E: analogue stations via antenna/cable, for 

which the current provider supplies data. 

T: digital terrestrial stations DVB-T, 

C: digital cable stations DVB-C, 

S: digital satellite stations DVB-S1/S2. 

If you want to use EPG for analogue and digital 

stations, select “on” (for DVB + analogue). 

If you want to use EPG and only have DVB 

reception, select “on” (only for DVB). If you are 

not using EPG and therefore do not want to 

receive any EPG data, select “off”. 

After making changes in the EPG menu, 

or each time the power switch has been 

switched off, the EPG data must be captured. 

To do this, switch on the device and select 

(for analog stations) the station that you have 

defined as the provider, and let the TV set run 

for about 1 hour with the selected station. Or 

switch the TV set to standby mode. After 2 

minutes the display on the TV glows orange 

and the EPG data capture begins. When 

the data capture process has concluded the 

display will return to red. The data capture 

process is usually performed between 2:00 am 

and 5:00 am, when the TV set is in standby 

mode.

NOTE 

• If you use an external recorder without AV Link, you have to 

select the recording source in the recorder (e.g. AUX, refer 

to your recorder’s operation manual). In case of recording 

DVB programmes, the TV’s tuner is used, not the VCR’s 

tuner. 

• If you use an external recorder with AV Link, this recording 

source selection is controlled automatically.

Pre- and post record time 

If you record a programme without VPS, you can 

specify a time span by which your programme 

time should be brought forward/prolonged so that 

programmes which begin/end too early/late are 

recorded from start to finish. 

Timer recording with external 

devices 

E Recorder with AV Link 

If you use an externally connected recorder with AV 

Link or a similar system, the TV set and connected 

recorder exchange its own station/timer data. 

Please consult the operating manual of your recorder 

to find out if your recorder is AV Link compatible. 

In addition use only Euro SCART cables for the 

connection between the TV set and recorder. 

Analogue stations 

The timer data is transmitted automatically from the TV 

set to the recorder after programming is complete. 

The recording is then controlled by the recorder 

and the recorder tuner is used for reception of the 

programme. 

The recording data is not saved in the timer list of the 

TV set. Consequently if you want to change or delete 

the timer data then you must do so on the recorder. 

Digital stations 

If you want to record digital stations with an externally 

connected recorder, then the DVB tuner is used and 

the TV device takes over control of the recorder. Then 

the station on the TV set is locked during the timer 

recording. 

E Recorder without AV Link 

If you cannot programme your externally connected 

recorder from the TV set, but it supports AV Link, the 

receiver of the TV set is always used. 

AV Link must be switched on on the recorder. Read the 

operating instructions of your recorder. 

In addition use only Euro SCART cables for the 

connection between the TV set and recorder. 

Analogue and digital stations 

You can control the recording from the TV set. The 

recorder must be set manually to the AV input to which 

the TV is connected. Then the station on the TV set is 

locked during the timer recording. 

Copy protection 

Copy-protected programs will not be output on the 

EURO SCART sockets for legal reasons.

Teletext 

What is Teletext? 

Teletext broadcasts pages of information and 

entertainment to specially equipped television sets. 

Your TV receives Teletext signals broadcast by a TV 

network, and decodes them into graphical format for

some use FLOF (e.g. CNN). Your TV supports both 

these systems. The pages are divided into topic 

groups and topics. After switching on the teletext, up 

to 2000 pages are stored for fast access. 

• From the dual screen, press m to return to the 

normal screen. 

• From the dual screen, press PIP to display teletext in 

the entire screen. Once this is done, you can go back

HDD Digital Recorder operation 

Important information 

Hard disk (HDD) 

This TV set records programmes onto a hard disk 

drive (HDD). The hard disk is equipped with a safety 

mechanism to protect data from impact, vibration and 

dust. However, to prevent loss of recorded data, you 

should be particularly careful of the following points: 

• Do not subject the TV set to any impact. 

• Do not use in a location which is unstable or subject to 

vibration. 

• Do not move the TV set while the power is on. 

• Do not unplug the power cord from the AC outlet during 

recording or playback. First turn power “OFF” (the 

STANDBY indicator glows red), and then unplug the power 

cord from the AC outlet. 

• Do not use in a location with abrupt temperature variation 

(variation of more than 10°C per hour). 

• The TV set will malfunction if used in a cold location (5°C or 

less) or an extremely hot location (35°C or higher). 

• If you carry the TV set from a cold location to a warm 

location, let the TV set sit for a while before using it. 

• In the unlikely event that the hard disk (HDD) malfunctions 

for some reason, you cannot replace it by yourself. If you 

disassemble the TV set you will void the warranty. Please 

contact the nearest service centre approved by SHARP. 

We cannot provide compensation for data content if data is 

lost or not recorded. 

This TV set has a built-in hard disk drive 

(abbreviated as “HDD”) for recording and playback. 

Beware of the following points when setting up 

and using the TV set. Failure to observe these 

precautions may cause damage to the HDD itself 

or its content, failure of the disk to operate, or 

recording of noise. 

• Do not subject the TV set to any vibration or impact. 

• Do not place the TV set in a cramped location which might 

block the cooling fan or ventilation port on the back of the 

TV set. 

• Do not place the TV set in a location with severe 

temperature variation. 

If the TV set is set up in a location with severe temperature 

variation, dew may form on and inside the TV set. If the 

TV set is used with internal dew formation present, this 

may cause HDD damage or malfunction. We recommend 

keeping variation in room temperature within 10˚C per hour. 

• Do not place the TV set in a location with high humidity. 

• Place the TV set horizontally, never at an incline. 

• When the power is on, do not unplug the power cord from 

the AC outlet, do not turn off the breaker for the area where 

the TV set is set up, and do not move the TV set. 

When moving the TV set, first turn off the power (the 

STANDBY indicator glows red) and then unplug the power 

cord from the AC outlet. 

Unrecordable material 

• The only signals that can be recorded are those from the 

internal analog & digital tuners and external CVBS & Y/C 

signals. 

• When recording a signal other than the signal being 

watched, some signals cannot be recorded depending on 

the signal being viewed. 

• This TV set is equipped with a copy guard function that 

prevents the recording of broadcast programmes that 

contain a signal that restricts copying in accordance with 

copyrights and so forth. 

• If a copy guard signal is contained in a source video that 

occurs partway through recording, recording is paused at 

that point. Recording resumes when the copy guard signal 

is no longer present, while no recordings will be made for 

the part where the copy prevention signal is present. 

In the unlikely event that there is a problem such 

as the loss of recorded video or audio content 

due to an HDD malfunction, please be aware 

beforehand that SHARP will bear no responsibility 

to compensate for the content which could not 

be recorded or edited, for the loss of recorded or 

edited video, or for other related direct or indirect 

damages. 

If a power failure occurs 

• The content being recorded or timer recorded may be 

damaged if a power failure occurs. 

• The content being played back may be damaged. 

For important recording 

• If the HDD malfunctions, the content recorded on the HDD 

may be lost. If you wish to save content permanently, we 

recommend copying or moving the content to DVD-RW or 

DVD-R. 

NOTE 

• If a message indicating an HDD error is displayed and 

the HDD has malfunctioned, you cannot replace the HDD 

by yourself. If you disassemble the TV set, the warranty 

will become void. Also, recovery of data is impossible. If 

playback is possible, re-record the recorded content onto 

a DVD-RW/R disc, and contact your nearest service centre 

approved by SHARP.

that includes a hard disk. You can use this to record 

and playback picture and sound from TV programmes, 

like with a VCR or DVD recorder. HDTV programmes 

can also be recorded and played back. However, 

the possibilities of the Digital Recorder are far more 

versatile than those of a VCR or DVD recorder: 

✔ Time shift viewing 

When you’re watching TV, the phone rings … 

Don’t worry. You can pause a TV programme and 

continue playing it later. 

✔ Chasing playback 

You return home early when a timer-recorded football 

game is already in progress … 

Don’t wait. You can simply rewind to the beginning of 

the game while still recording. 

✔ Simultaneous recording/playback 

You don’t have to sit and wait until the recording ends. 

You can play DVDs or programmes already recorded in 

the HDD while recording. 

✔ Instant replay 

You jump back 40 seconds at the press of a button to 

watch the scene again. The live picture is shown at the 

same time in the PIP window. 

✔ Archiving the time-shifted recording 

You can also decide to copy the whole TV programme 

into the Digital Recorder’s archive at the end of a TV 

programme you have been watching with a time shift. 

✔ Fast navigation by jumping 

Jump backwards and forwards in the programme at 

the press of a button. 

The jump distance is adjustable. 

In addition, the special function “Smart jump” ensures 

that for each change in jump direction the jump 

distance is cut in half. This way you can feel your way 

quickly to a certain spot in the time shift playback. 

✔ Fast forward and rewind 

You can fast forward and rewind at three different 

speeds in the programme you are viewing. (Rewind is 

not possible with HDTV.) 

✔ Slow motion 

You can watch the programme you are viewing at four 

different slow motion speeds. 

✔ Setting bookmarks 

During a football match, for example, you can flag 

goals or exciting scenes. (For this, the time-shift 

recording is converted into an archive recording.) For 

later playback, you can play bookmarks as highlights. 

✔ Recording straight into the archive 

The archive holds between 20 and 100 hours of 

programmes, depending on the recording quality set. 

✔ Timer recording using EPG or teletext 

Comfortably select your favourite programme for 

recording, from the EPG or teletext. The Digital 

Recorder records up to 50 timer recordings - even in 

your absence. 

✔ Serial recording 

You can conveniently programme serials which run 

daily, weekly or from Monday to Friday. 

✔ Delete Manager 

An automatic delete manager always ensures there is 

sufficient recording space for new programmes. 

✔ Editing archived titles 

You can sort, edit/rename, lock or delete the titles in 

the DR archive. You can also delete or hide sections of 

the selected programme. 

✔ Copying your recordings to a video/DVD 

recorder 

Recordings which you wish to watch repeatedly 

on a long-term basis should be burnt to a DVD or 

transferred to a video recorder. The programme can 

then be deleted from the archive. For data transmission 

to external equipment, you can do this by using the 

“Copy” command. 

Limitation during PIP operation 

If on the main screen you see the live picture and 

you open the PIP picture, generally the background 

recording for time-shift TV is ended and deleted. 

With archive recording and time-shift TV, there may 

be limitations on the stations which you can select 

for the PIP picture.

Recording with the HDD 

Time shift recording and archive recording 

There are 2 ways of recording a TV programme with 

the HDD. One is Time shift recording and the other is 

Archive recording. 

E Time shift recording 

The TV automatically records the programme currently 

tuned in. Pause, rewind, and chasing playback is 

available with the live programmes just like recorded 

programmes. Every time you change the channel, the 

old recording data of the previous channel is discarded 

and the new recording starts. 

• While this is working, the indicator lights green. 

• If you choose not to use this feature, set “DR continuous 

operation” to “off”. 

• The maximum time shift duration is approximately 3 hours, 

depending on the conditions. 

E Archive recording 

You can record programmes onto the DR archive’s 

hard disk drive. 

About Delete Manager 

The Delete Manager always makes sure there is 

enough memory space on the hard disk for new 

recordings. When the capacity of the hard disk is 

almost exhausted, the old recordings are deleted. 

Recordings which you have marked with delete 

protection are not deleted by the Delete Manager. 

You can delete these recordings manually. 

For settings and cancelling delete protection, see 

page 50. 

To avoid loss of data, we recommend you copy 

important recordings onto video tape or a writable 

DVD, and delete the recordings from the Digital 

Recorder after copying to save space. 

SHARP is not liable for data loss on the Digital 

Recorder’s hard disk.

Timer recording 

You can programme the timer using the EPG, teletext or 

manually. You can programme up to 50 timer recordings. 

If you have programmed timer recordings, the TV set 

may only be switched off into the stand-by mode. 

NOTE 

• Do not switch the TV set off with the main power switch

Troubleshooting 

Problem Possible Solution 

• No power. • Check if you pressed B on the remote control unit. 

If the indicator on the TV lights up red, press B. 

• Is the AC cord disconnected? 

• Check if you pressed a on the TV. 

• 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, or 

unplugging the AC cord and re-plugging it in after 1 or 2 minutes. 

• Remote control unit does not 

operate. 

• Is the FUNCTION button set correctly? Set it to the TV setting position. (Page 55) 

• Are batteries inserted with polarity (e, f) aligned? 

• Are batteries worn out? (Replace with new batteries.) 

• Are you using it under strong or fluorescent lighting? 

• Is a fluorescent light illuminated to remote control sensor? 

• Picture is cut off. • Is the image position correct? 

• Are screen mode adjustments (Auto format, Wide modes or Geometry) such as 

picture size made correctly? 

• Strange colour, light colour, or 

dark, or colour misalignment. 

• Adjust the picture tone. 

• Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright. 

• Check the colour system setting. 

• Power is suddenly turned off. • The unit’s internal temperature has increased. 

Remove any objects blocking vent or clean. 

• Did you activate switch off timer? (Page 36) 

• Is “Automatic switchoff if no signal” activated? 

• No picture. • Is connection to other components correct? (Pages 14-22) 

• Is input signal type selected correctly after connection? 

• Is the correct external source selected? (Page 38) 

• Is non-compatible signal being input? (Page 18) 

• Is picture adjustment correct? (Page 32) 

• Is the antenna connected properly? (Page 5) 

• Are CI Module and CA card inserted properly? (Page 28) 

• No sound. • Is the TV speaker or amplifier settings under “Sound components” set correctly? 

• Is the speaker connected? 

• Is the volume too low? 

• Check if you pressed e on the remote control unit. 

• Did you assign the correct input terminal under “Assign digital audio input”? 

• The TV sometimes makes a 

cracking sound. 

• This is not a malfunction. This happens when the cabinet slightly expands and 

contracts according to change 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: e5°C to e35°C. 

IMPORTANT NOTE ON RESETTING THE PIN 

We suggest that you remove the following instruction from the operation manual to prevent children from 

reading it. As this operation manual is multilingual, we also suggest the same with each language. Keep it in a 

safe space for future reference.

Enter “3001” when PIN entry is required.

PC Control of the TV 

• When a programme is set, the TV can be controlled from 

the PC using the RS-232C terminal. The input signal 

(PC/video) can be selected, the volume can be adjusted 

and various other adjustments and settings can be made, 

enabling automatic programmed playing. 

• Use an RS-232C cable cross-type (commercially available) 

for the connections. 

NOTE 

• This operation system should be used by a person who is 

accustomed to using PCs. 

RS-232C serial control cable
