 Introduction
Precautions For Daily Use
Observe the following items
Maintenance of the cabinet
• When cleaning the cabinet, use a soft cloth (made of cotton, floss, etc.) to clean gently.
• Do not use a dry or damp rag mixed with chemicals, as this could cause the ingredients of the cabinet body to deteriorate or
crack.
• Be careful not to use an abrasive cloth for cleaning or clean with excessive force, as this could scratch the surface of the
cabinet.
• If the cabinet is greatly soiled, clean with a soft cloth (made of cotton, floss, etc.) soaked with a small amount of diluted neutral
detergent and wrung out, and then clean with a soft dry cloth.
• Solvents such as benzene or thinner could cause the cabinet to deteriorate, or make its coating come off. Therefore do not use
such solvents to clean the cabinet.
• Because plasticizer is included in the plastics, deterioration or the coating peeling off could occur when the cabinet comes into
contact with some substances. Therefore keep it away from volatile substances such as insecticide. In addition, do not let it
come into contact with objects made of rubber, resin, etc. for a long time.

Maintenance of the LCD panel

• Before cleaning the LCD panel, be sure to turn off the TV set and unplug the power cord from the outlet.
• When cleaning the LCD panel, use a dry and soft cloth (made of cotton, floss, etc.) to clean the surface of the LCD panel gently.
For protecting the LCD panel, do not clean with a dirty cloth, detergent, or a dry or damp rag mixed with chemicals, as this
could cause peeling of the panel surface.
• Be careful not to clean with an abrasive cloth or with excessive force, as this could cause the panel surface to be scratched.
• If the LCD panel is greatly soiled, clean it gently with a soft cloth (made of cotton, floss, etc.) soaked with a small amount of
water (Do not clean with excessive force, so as to avoid the scratch of the panel surface).
• If dust sticks on the surface of the LCD panel, clean the panel with a commercially available cleaning brush (anti-static brush).

There are some regulations in recording functions.
The playback of encrypted programmes is strongly
dependent on which CA module is used. The playback
of encrypted recordings may sometimes not be possible,
or only during limited time. Programme providers, who
use the CI Plus standard, can assign different rights for
their broadcast programmes.

Enquiry
You can input numerical values such as passwords here.
NOTE
• It takes a few minutes to certify the licence key when you
insert a CA card into the CI+ compatible CI module for the
first time. This process may fail when there is no antenna
input or you have never run “Auto installation”.
• The CI+ compatible CI module sometimes upgrades its
firmware. You may not receive any TV images before
upgrading. You can only use the POWER during upgrading.
• Copy protected content may not be output or may be output

*Protect icon: X
• If the TV displays an update confirmation message for the CA
card while receiving CI+ compatible broadcasts, follow the
screen prompts.
• Make sure that the CI module is properly inserted.
• If the old CAM is used, authentication may fail. In such cases,
contact the contracted service provider.

Recording CAM PIN setting

When a CAM PIN code is required for recording a
programme, it is necessary to enter the CAM PIN code
in advance.
1 Go to “HOME” > “TV Menu” > “Setup” >
“Option” > “CI setting” > “Recording CAM PIN
setting”.
2 Enter the CAM PIN code.
NOTE
• If a PIN code is not entered or is entered incorrectly, the
programme will not be able to be recorded/played back.
• Because recording is not possible when channel lock (page
45) and parental rating (page 46) settings are active, it is
necessary to deactivate both of these settings.

What is the HOME?

You can easily launch to enjoy Internet connection and Home network function and to perform settings for the TV from
this “HOME” screen.
By connecting the TV to the internet you can enjoy a variety of broadband content.
Internet browsing on a TV behaves differently to a PC (Personal Computer). PC’s have greater web browsing
capabilities and memory plus support a wider range of functionalities and add ons – some PC viewing capability may
not be possible on a TV. In such cases an application may close or an exclamation mark (“!”) or an error message may
be displayed.
To maximise the performance of YouTube content it is highly recommended that the user can access the content via
the dedicated YouTube application on this TV.
Sharp recommends that from time to time you update your TV’s software via the internet or by downloading updates
onto a USB. Go to www.sharp.net.au and click on Customer Support, then follow the appropriate links.

 Enjoying 3D image viewing
You can enjoy 3D-supported images on this TV when you wear 3D glasses.
To produce 3D images, liquid crystal shutters in the 3D glasses alternately open and close imperceptibly fast to exactly
match alternating left and right video images displayed by the TV.
NOTE
• Refer to the operation manual of the 3D glasses for details regarding usage.
• Some menu items are greyed out in 3D mode. This is not a malfunction.

Before using the 3D glasses

• Not all consumers can experience and enjoy 3D TV. Some people suffer from stereo blindness which prevents them from
perceiving the intended depth of 3D entertainment. Also, some people who watch 3D programming may experience initial feelings
of motion sickness as they adjust to the picture. Others may experience headaches, eye fatigue or motion sickness. Some viewers
might also experience epileptic seizures. Like a roller coaster, the experience is not for everyone.
• The 3D glasses are precision equipment. Handle them with care.
• Improper use of the 3D glasses or failure to follow these instructions can result in eye strain.
• If you experience dizziness, nausea, or other discomfort while viewing 3D images, immediately discontinue use of the 3D glasses.
Using the 3D TV with incompatible 3D broadcasts or software can make images appear blurry or create overlapping images.
• When viewing 3D images continuously, be sure to take a break periodically to prevent eye strain.
• If you are nearsighted or farsighted or have astigmatism or a different level of eyesight between the left and right eyes, you should
take the necessary steps, such as wearing eyeglasses, to correct your eyesight before viewing 3D images. The 3D glasses can be
worn over eyeglasses.
• When viewing 3D images, keep the 3D glasses horizontally level with the TV screen. If you tilt the 3D glasses with respect to the TV
screen, the images viewed by the left and right eyes may appear significantly different or images may appear overlapping.
• View 3D images at the appropriate distance from the TV screen. The recommended distance is three times the effective height of
the TV screen.
• Be careful of your surroundings when viewing 3D images. When you view 3D images, objects may appear closer or farther than
they are. This may cause you to misjudge the distance and possibly result in injury if you accidentally hit the screen or surrounding
objects.
• The 3D glasses are not recommended for people aged less than 6.
• When children are viewing 3D images, be sure a parent or guardian is present. Monitor children viewing 3D images, and if they
show signs of discomfort, immediately discontinue use of the 3D glasses.
• People with a known history of photosensitivity and people with heart problems or poor health should not use the 3D glasses. This
can worsen existing health conditions.
• Do not use the 3D glasses for other purposes (such as general eyeglasses, sunglasses, or protective goggles).
• Do not use the 3D function or 3D glasses while walking or moving around. This may result in injuries due to running into objects,
tripping, and/or falling.
• When using the 3D glasses, take care not to accidentally strike the TV screen or other people. Viewing 3D images may cause you
to misjudge the distance to the TV screen and accidentally strike the screen, resulting in possible injury.
• It is recommended that you do not view 3D images if you are sleep deprived or if you have been drinking alcohol.

Cautions for 3D image viewing

3D glasses lenses
• Do not apply pressure to the lenses of the 3D glasses. Also, do not drop or bend the 3D glasses.
• Do not scratch the surface of the lenses of the 3D glasses with a pointed instrument or other object. Doing so may damage the
3D glasses and reduce the quality of the 3D image.
• Use only the cloth provided with the 3D glasses to clean the lenses.
3D glasses infrared receiver
• Do not allow the infrared receiver to become dirty, and do not attach stickers to or otherwise cover the infrared receiver. Doing
so may prevent the receiver from operating normally.
• If the 3D glasses are affected by other infrared data communication equipment, 3D images may not be displayed correctly.
Caution during viewing
• Do not use devices that emit strong electromagnetic waves (such as cellular phones or wireless transceivers) near the 3D
glasses. Doing so may cause the 3D glasses to malfunction.
• The 3D glasses cannot operate fully at extreme high or low temperatures. Please use them within the specified usage
temperature range.
• If the 3D glasses are used in a room with fluorescent lighting, the light within the room may appear to flicker. In this case, either
darken or turn off the fluorescent lights when using the 3D glasses.
• Wear the 3D glasses correctly. 3D images will not be correctly visible if the 3D glasses are worn upside down or back-to-front.
• Other displays (such as computer screens, digital clocks, and calculators) may appear dark and difficult to view while wearing
the 3D glasses. Do not wear the 3D glasses when watching anything other than 3D images.
• If you lie on your side while watching the TV with 3D glasses, the picture may look dark or may not be visible.
• Be sure to stay within the viewing angle and optimum TV viewing distance when watching 3D images. Otherwise, you may not
be able to enjoy the full 3D effect.
• The 3D glasses may not work properly if there is any other 3D product or electronic devices turned on near the glasses or TV. If
this occurs, turn off the other 3D product or electronic devices or keep the devices as far away as possible from the 3D glasses.
• Stop using this product in any of the following situations:
– When images consistently appear doubled while you are wearing the 3D glasses
– When you have difficultly perceiving the 3D effect
• If the 3D glasses are faulty or damaged, stop using them immediately. Continued use of the 3D glasses may cause eye fatigue,
headaches and illness.
• If you have any abnormal skin reaction, stop using the 3D glasses. In very rare instances, such reactions may be due to an
allergic reaction to the coating or materials used.
• If your nose or temples become red or you experience any pain or itchiness, stop using the 3D glasses. Pressure caused by
long periods of use may lead to such reactions and may result in skin irritation.
• You may not be able to use several menu items while you are watching the TV in 3D mode.
• You cannot use the 3D function in radio or data mode.

NOTE
• These 3D glasses are only for use with SHARP LCD TVs supporting 3D.

Mounting the TV on a wall

To use this TV mounted on a wall, remove the AC cord holder and the screws at the 4 locations on the rear of the TV,
and then use the screws supplied with the wall mount bracket to secure the bracket to the rear of the TV.

• Mounting the LCD colour TV requires special skills and 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 qualified service personnel about using an optional bracket to mount the TV to a wall.
• When you mount the TV on a wall, you should attach the supporting post.
• Detach the AC cord holder on the rear of the TV before mounting the TV on a wall.

The wall mount kit (sold separately) allows you to mount the TV on the wall.
For detailed information on installing the wall mount, see the instructions provided with the product. We recommend
you to contact a technician for assistance when installing it.
SHARP is not responsible for any damage to the product or injury to yourself or others if you elect to install the wall
mount on your own.
CAUTION
• Install your wall mount on a solid wall perpendicular to the floor.
When you want to attach the wall mount to surfaces other than plaster board, please contact your nearest retailer/
adviser for additional information. If you install the TV on a ceiling or slanted wall, it may fall and result in severe
personal injury. Always have two people mount the TV on a wall.
