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 
viewing. News, weather and sports information, stock 
exchange prices and programme previews are among 
the many services available.
Turning on and off Teletext
Select a TV channel or external source 
providing the Teletext programme.
Press  m to display the Teletext on the right 
screen and the normal image on the left screen.
•  Many stations use the TOP operating system, while 
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 
to the normal screen by pressing  m as shown.
•  If you select a programme with no Teletext signal,  “No text” displays.

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.
Copyright
•  Recording and playback of any material may require consent. Please refer particularly to the provisions of the

Features
About the Digital Recorder system
Your SHARP TV set is equipped with a Digital Recorder 
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.

HDD Digital Recorder operation
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.

While viewing with Time Shift:
You want to interrupt a programme to answer a phone 
call, for example.
 Press  F.
•  The TV picture freezes and the drive display appears.
•  At the top you will see the number and name of the 
station if EPG or teletext data is available, in addition 
to the start and end of the current programme and 
the title of the programme.
•  Before the bar you can see the start time for time  shift recording. After the bar you can see the time 
at which the offset recorder will be full (automatically 
extends by 30 minutes, up to approx. 3 hours). 
The grey bar indicates how much of the available 
recording time has been used up. The time displayed 
inside the bar is the time at which the  F button was 
pressed.
You want to carry on watching the programme at the 
end of the phone call.
 Press  F again or  I.

from exactly the point in time you first pressed  F.

E Go live (Time shift only)
 Press  H.•  You will then see the live picture of the programme.
E Smart  jump
The Smart jump function is included to enable fast and 
easy access to a certain place within the programme. 
When Smart jump is switched on, the jump distance is 
cut in half after each change in the jump direction while 
jumping. By cutting the jump distance in half when 
changing the jump direction, you can estimate your 
way close to a particular section.
The playback symbol ( I) is yellow when the Smart 
jump function is active.
For instance, you are looking for the beginning of a 
programme …
Press  G several times to jump back (pre-set 
jump distance).
If you have jumped past the beginning of the 
programme, jump in the opposite direction. 
Briefly press  J.
This jump in the opposite direction is only 
carried out for half the jump distance. Now jump 
forward using  J until you see the beginning 
of the programme.
If you have jumped past the beginning of the 
programme, jump back using  G. In the 
process, the jump distance is cut in half again.
•  The pre-set jump distance is used again if you jump 
more than 3 times in the same direction or if the 
Digital Recorder display disappears.
