QUICK REFERENCE
Experiencing HD Images
An HDTV without an HD source is just an ordinary 
TV.
To enjoy HD images on the TV, you should get 
HD programming from the following:
•  Over-the-air broadcasting via HD quality antenna
•  HD cable/satellite subscription
•  HD compatible external equipment
•  For information on updating to HD programming, ask your 
cable/satellite service provider.
Using the Remote Control Unit
Use the remote control unit by pointing it towards the 
remote control sensor on the TV. Objects between the 
remote control unit and the remote control 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 remote 
control unit.
•  The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote 
control sensor on the TV is under direct sunlight or strong 
lighting. In such cases, change the angle of the lighting 
or the TV, or operate the remote control unit closer to the 
remote control sensor.
IMPORTANT:
IF THE UNIT DOES NOT POWER ON - UNPLUG THE 
TELEVISION FROM THE OUTLET AND REPEAT THE 
INSTALLATION STEPS.
IF YOU STILL ENCOUNTER NO POWER, PLEASE CONTACT 
US AT 1-800-BE-SHARP.

Antennas
To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of the types of connections 
that are used for a coaxial cable. If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector, 
plug it into the antenna terminal at the rear of the TV set. For connecting the antenna cable to the TV, use 
commercially available cables.

Installing Batteries in the Remote Control Unit
If the remote control fails to operate TV functions, replace the batteries in the remote control unit.
1Open the battery cover.
2  Insert two “AAA” size batteries (supplied with 
the product).
•  Place the batteries 
with their terminals 
corresponding to the (
e)
and (
f) indications in the 
battery compartment.
3  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 are worn out. Chemicals that leak from batteries that come in contact with skin can cause a 
rash. If you fi nd any chemical leakage, wipe thoroughly with a cloth.
•  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 batteries from it.
Preparation
Connecting Antenna Cable
•Connect the antenna cable to the TV using one of the methods in the illustration as shown (
1,
2,
3 or 
4).

antenna 2 VHF/UHF antenna
1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type connector 
that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools.
2. A 300-ohm system is a fl at “twin-lead” cable that can be attached 
to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300/75-ohm adapter.

When connecting the RF cable to the TV set, do not tighten F-type 
connector with tools.
If tools are used, it may cause damage to your TV set. (The breaking 
of internal circuit, etc.)F-type connector should be fi nger-tightened only.
