 Welcome

for choosing a Sharp product.

We are happy to have you as a customer.

We have designed the TV set in such a way that it is easy to operate with 

menus. Information about settings in menus is shown automatically for 

fast comprehension of the situation.

You will fi nd the answers to many of your technical queries in the index 

of your TV. If it is a matter of operating the TV, you can access a function 

directly from the index. This saves you from having to read through 

detailed operating instructions and is the reason, why this operating 

manual only explains the most important operating steps.

The maximum equipment is described in this operating instructions. 

Functions marked by * are not available in all TV sets.

You can view your TV equipment in the “Integrated features” index 

(press the INFO button in TV mode, if no menu is displayed; is displayed 

separately in the index before the letter A).

Depending on the capabilities, your set will have an analog tuner for 

receiving terrestrial stations as well as  a DVB-T set for digital/terrestrial 

stations or will also have DVB-S for digital stations via satellite.

This enables reception of a large number of free digital stations.

Since your TV set is fi tted with a slot for a Common Interface Module 

(CI) you can also receive coded stations.

For this you only need a Common Interface Module and a Smartcard 

from the station provider. Both are available from dealers.

Your TV set also allows reception of digitally broadcast radio stations if 

this feature is offered by the station providers.

Digital TV and radio stations usually offer not only a better sound and 

picture quality than conventional analog stations but also provide 

numerous additional functions which are explained in this manual.

How many and which stations you can receive essentially depends on 

your location and your antenna system, e.g. roof antenna/indoor antenna 

or satellite antenna.

Ask your dealer to fi nd out which is the best antenna for your location.

All digital stations received terrestrially and via satellite are shown in a 

station table.

All stations can be called with one common remote control

Support of EPG (the electronic program guide)

The digital stations can be recorded with a VCR or DVD recorder.

It is also possible to receive coded stations (Pay-TV) as an option if 

the corresponding Common Interface Module and the Smartcard from 

the station provider are available.

Use the pre-assembled stand included in delivery.

Use the optional wall-mount bracket:
