2. Plug the connected devices into the YPBPR and L/R ports on the TV before switching it on.
3. Using your remote, press the [INPUT] button and select COMPONENT as the input source.
NOTE
• One AV device can be connected to the TV using a component video or composite video cable.
Connecting an AV device with an HDMI cable
This type of connection supports digital connections between HDMI-enabled AV devices such as a Personal Video
Recorder (PVR), DVD, Blu-Ray, AV receiver and digital devices. In addition, some devices (such as a PVR or DVD

• 5.1 CH (channel) audio is available when the TV is connected to an external device that supports a 5.1 channel
surround sound
• You can receive 5.1 channel audio in one of two ways. The first way is to connect the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT port

TV to the Optical port on the Amplifier.After you’ve completed one of the two methods then be sure to go into the
Advanced Audio Settings of the TV and select RAW to receive the 5.1 channel audio. You will need to also go into

Connecting Your TV to a Wireless or Wired Network
You have the option to connect your TV to a wireless or wired network to access the Internet. For more information about
the network settings on TV, see Network Menu on page 19.
Connecting to a wireless network
Our built-in wireless LAN adapter supports the IEEE 802.11 b/g/n communication protocols and we recommend that
you use an IEEE 802.11n router. When you play a video over an IEEEE 802.11 b/g connection, the video may not play
smoothly.
NOTES
• You must use the SHARP built-in Wireless LAN Adapter to use a wireless network because the set does not
support an external USB network adapter.
• To use a wireless network, your TV must be connected to a wireless IP sharer. If the wireless IP sharer supports
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), your TV can use a DHCP or static IP address to connect to the
wireless network.
• Select a channel for the wireless IP sharer that is not currently being used. If the channel set for the wireless IP
sharer is currently being used by another device nearby, this will result in interference and communication failure.
• If you apply a security system other than the systems listed below, it will not work with the TV.
• If Pure High-throughput (Greenfield) 802.11N mode is selected and the Encryption type is set to WEP, TKIP
or TKIP-AES (WPS2 Mixed) for your Access Point (AP), then the SHARP TV will not support a connection in
compliance with these Wi-Fi certification specifications.
• Ifyouraccesspoint(AP)supportsWi-FiProtectedSetup(WPS),youcanconnecttothenetworkviaPushButton
Configuration (PBC) or PIN (Personal Identification Number). WPS will automatically configure the SSID
and WPA key in either mode.
Connecting to a wired (Ethernet) network
You can attach your TV to your LAN in one of the three following ways:
Option 1
You can attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of your TV to an external modem using a
Cat 5 LAN cable. See the illustration below.

Wireless Router The LAN Port on the Wall
External Modem
(ADSL / VDSL / Cable TV) The Modem Port on the Wall

TV PORT
10
ENGLISH FRANÇAIS ESPAÑOL
Option 2
You can attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN port on the back of your TV to an IP Sharer which is
connected to an external modem. Use an Ethernet cable for the connection. See the illustration below.
Option 3
Depending on how your network is configured, you may be able to attach your TV to your LAN by connecting the LAN
port on the back of your TV directly to a network wall outlet with an Ethernet cable. See the diagram below.
If you have a Dynamic Network, you should use an ADSL modem or router that supports Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP). Modems and routers that support DHCP automatically provide the IP address, subnet mask, gateway,
and DNS, so you don’t have to enter them manually. Most home networks are Dynamic Networks.
Some networks require a Static IP address. If your network requires a Static IP address, you must enter the IP address,
subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values manually on your TV’s Cable Setup Screen when you set up the network
connection. To get the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS values, contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
NOTE
• You can use ADSL modems that support DHCP if your network requires a static IP address. ADSL modems that
support DHCP also let you use static IP addresses.

When you experience an issue with your TV, turn it off and on again. If this does not resolve the problem, then refer to
the tips below. If the problem is still not resolved, then contact us.
ISSUES POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
No sound or picture
• Check if the power cord is plugged into a powered AC outlet.
• Press the [ ] button on the remote control to activate the unit from ‘Standby’
mode.
• Check to see if the LED light is on or not. If it is, then the TV is receiving power.

source to my TV and I get no
picture and/or sound
• Check for the correct output connection on the external source and for the
correct input connection on the TV.
• Make sure you have made the correct selection for the input mode for the
incoming signal.
When I turn on my TV, there is a
delay for a few seconds before
the picture appears. Is this
normal?
• Yes, this is normal. The TV is initializing and searching for previous setting
information.
The picture is normal but there is
no sound
• Check the volume settings.
• Check if ‘Mute’ mode is set to On.
Sound but no picture or black
and white picture
• If the picture is black and white, unplug the TV from the AC outlet and replug it
after 60 seconds.
• Check that the Color is set to 50 or higher.
• Try different TV channels.
The sound and/or picture is
distorted or appears wavy
• An electric appliance may be affecting the TV. Turn off any appliances that are
nearby and move it farther away from the TV.
• Insert the power plug of the TV set into another power outlet.
The sound and picture is blurry
or cuts out
• If using an external antenna, check the direction, position and connection of the

the sound. This is normal and the TV is OK.

work
• Confirm that TV still has power and is operational.
• Change the batteries in the remote control.
• Check if the batteries are correctly installed.
