(When using the TV with a digital connection, the separately-sold digital signal cable is required.) Connecting the TV to a home antenna terminal (See pages E16 through E18.) - The commercially available antenna cable is required. Connecting the TV to AV equipment (See pages E21 through E24.) - Follow these steps to connect the TV to AV equipment and enjoy watching DVDs or playing games. For information on the connection using the AV-OUT terminals, see page E59. Connecting the TV to a power source (See page E19.) Setting TV channels (EZ Setup) (See page E20.)

CAUTION! - When connecting, ensure that the TV is switched off. The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for black & white television reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended. The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various antenna systems. (See page E10 for information on removing/replacing the terminal cover.) 1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools (commercially available). 2. A 300-ohm system is a flat "twin-lead" cable that can be attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300-75-ohm adapter (commercially available). F-type connector 75-ohm coaxial cable (round) 300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat) Notes: - The 75-ohm coaxial cable is recommended. - When you first receive this TV, it has no memory of any channels. To receive channels, perform the EZ Setup (see page E20) after the first power-on, or use "CH Setup" in the Setup menu (see pages E32 and E33). Outdoor antenna connection - Use one of the following two diagrams if you connect an outdoor antenna. A: Using a VHF/UHF combination outdoor antenna. B: Using separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antennas. - Connect the outdoor antenna cable lead-in to the antenna input terminal (ANT-IN) on the right side of the TV. CAUTION! - When connecting the coaxial cable to the TV, do not tighten F-type connector with tools. If tools are used, it may cause damage to your TV.

Cable TV (CATV) connection - A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75-ohm coaxial cable to the set, screw the 75-ohm cable to the antenna input terminal (ANT-IN). - Some cable TV companies offer "premium pay channels". Since the signals of these premium pay channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by the cable TV company. This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled channels. (Set your TV to channel 3 or 4, typically one of these channels is used. If this is unknown, consult your cable TV company.) For more specific instructions on installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the converter/descrambler provided by your cable TV company is explained below. Please note: An RF switch provided with two inputs (A and B) is required (commercially available). "A" position on the RF switch (commercially available): You can view all unscrambled channels by using the TV's channel buttons. "B" position on the RF switch (commercially available): You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/descrambler by using the converter's channel keys. Note: - Consult your SHARP Dealer or Service Center for the type of splitter, RF switch, or combiner that might be required.
