It allows you to view conversations, narration and sound effects as subtitles on your TV. Closed Captions are available on some TV programs, and on some VHS home video tapes, at the election of the program provider. • Digital Closed Caption service is a new caption service available only on digital TV programs (also at the election of the service provider). It is a more flexible system than the original Closed Caption system, because it allows a variety of caption sizes and font styles. When the Digital Closed Caption service is in use, it will be indicated by appearance of a 3-letter abbreviation that also indicates the language of the Digital Closed Captions: ENG (English) or SPA (Spanish) or FRA (French), or other language codes. • Not all programs and VHS videotapes offer closed caption. Please look for the “N” symbol to ensure that captions will be shown. • In the Closed Caption system, there can be more than one caption service provided. Each is identified by its own number. The “CC1” and “CC2” services display subtitles of TV programs superimposed over the program’s picture. • In the Closed Caption system, the “Text1” or “Text2” services display text that is unrelated to the program being viewed (e.g., weather or news). These services are also superimposed over the program currently being viewed. 2 Air ANALOG Audio : MONO CC : 1/2 CC1 Closed Caption information 1 2 Press CC. • This will present the Closed Caption information display. Press CC while the Closed Caption information is still on the screen. • Press repeatedly until you select a closed caption service which you prefer. • Depending on the number of caption services in the signal being received, you will see information such as 1/2 or 1/4 displayed. 1/2 means “the first of two services”. Example: If a program has three services (Digital CC(ENG), CC1 and Text1), the closed caption display will toggle in this sequence: 1/3 ENG 2/3 CC1 3/3 Text1 OFF • The CC button keeps a record of the last service selected in its memory. If the last closed caption mode (e.g. 1/3ENG) you selected is not available for the next program, or on another channel, the closed caption service that is available is automatically selected, and this service appears in parentheses, e.g.1/3(CC1). Closed caption services that appear in parentheses will not be recorded in the CC button’s memory as your last selected service. Only services that you have selected with the CC button are recorded. Examples: In a case where there are two closed caption services provided, (for instance, Digital CC(ENG) and CC1), and Digital CC(ENG) is displayed as your current selection, if Digital CC(ENG) is not broadcast for the next program, the other closed caption service, CC1, will be displayed in parentheses. A closed caption service appears in parentheses because the service you selected is not available and a different service is displayed on your screen. “1/1(CC1)” is displayed instead of “1/2/ ENG”. NOTE • See page 44 to 46 for detailed closed caption settings. • When using Freeze functions, closed captions will not be displayed on the right-most screen (still image). • When the program contains no closed caption, “--” displays in the closed caption information. • If the language code, e.g. “ENG”, is not found on Digital TV programs, “--” will be shown. • Four kinds of closed caption service (CC1, CC2, Text1, Text2) are potentially available, but a broadcast may contain none, or only some of these services, at the election of the program provider. 44 Useful adjustment settings Caption Size Select a caption size. 4 Press a/b to select “Caption Size”.

This tool gives parents a great degree of control over broadcasts accessed by their children. It allows parents to select programs judged suitable for child viewing while blocking ones judged not suitable. It does so automatically once you activate the V-CHIP feature in your TV. “V-Chip” and “Status” will not be selectable from the menu if you do not first configure your secret number. (See page 46 for Secret number setting for parental control.) • The U.S. has two rating systems for viewing content: TV Parental Guidelines and movie ratings. • The TV Parental Guidelines work in conjunction with the V-CHIP to help parents screen out inappropriate television shows from their children. • Movie ratings are used for original movies rated by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) as watched on cable TV and not edited for television. The V-CHIP can also be set to block MPAA-rated movies. Voluntary movie rating system (MPAA) Rating Age G PG PG-13 R NC-17 X General audiences. All ages admitted. Parental guidance suggested. Some material may not be suitable for children. Parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. Restricted.

Rating Age E C C8e G PG 14e 18e Exempt: Includes news, sports, documentaries and other information programming; talk shows, music videos, and variety programming. Children: Intended for younger children under the age of 8 years. Pays careful attention to themes that could threaten their sense of security and well-being. Children over 8 years old: Contains no portrayal of violence as the preferred, acceptable, or only way to resolve conflict; nor encourage children to imitate dangerous acts which they may see on the screen. General: Considered acceptable for all age groups. Appropriate viewing for the entire family, contains very little violence, physical, verbal or emotional. Parental Guidance: Intended for a general audience, but may not be suitable for younger children (under the age of 8) because it could contain controversial themes or issues. Over 14 Years: Could contain themes where violence is one of the dominant elements of the storyline, but it must be integral to the development of plot or character. Language usage could be profane and nudity present within the context of the theme. Adults: Intended for viewers 18 years and older and might contain depictions of violence, which while related to the development of plot, character or themes, are intended for adult viewing.

Setting the TV on the wall CAUTION • Installing the 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. Using an optional bracket to mount the TV • You can ask a qualified service professional about using an optional bracket to mount the TV to the wall. • Carefully read the instructions that come with the bracket before beginning work.

(See page 14.) • External influences such as lightning, static electricity, may cause improper operation. In this case, operate the unit after first turning on the power of the TV or unplugging the AC cord and replugging it in after 1 or 2 minutes. • Is the FUNCTION set correctly? Set it to the TV setting position. • Are batteries inserted with polarity (e, f) aligned? (See page 7.) • Are batteries worn out? (Replace with new batteries.) • Are you using it under strong or fluorescent lighting? • Is a fluorescent light illuminated near the remote control sensor? • Is the image position correct? (See page 35.) • Are screen mode adjustments such as picture size made correctly? (See pages 39 and 40) • Adjust the picture tone. (See pages 23 to 25.) • Is the room too bright? The picture may look dark in a room that is too bright. • Check the input signal setting. (See page 41.) • Is the sleep timer set? (See page 42.) • Check the power control settings. (See page 27.) • The unit’s internal temperature has increased. Remove any objects blocking vent or clean. • Is connection to other components correct? (See pages 30 to 34.) • Is correct input signal source selected after connection? (See page 37.) • Is the correct input selected? (See page 37.) • Is a non-compatible signal being input?

Troubleshooting 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 Liquid Crystal panel to malfunction.
