What makes this Sharp product ecologically outstanding?
This TV set uses a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) instead of the classical Cathode Ray Tube (CRT). Some
of the advantages are:
• Design for high energy effi ciency. This cuts energy consumption and saves money.
• Reduced energy consumption during use and stand-by. Energy savings in different modes are possible
(see Appendix in this operation manual.)
• The lifetime of the background light is approx. 2.5 times longer than that of a CRT.
• This TV complies with the chemical requirements of the EU Eco-label.
• A minimum of two year functionality are granted in all EU-states.
• Spare parts will be available after ceasing the production of this model for:
¾ seven years, for electrical components
¾ fi ve years, for mechanical parts
¾ four years, for decorative parts
• This product has been designed for easy disassembly, recovery and recycling and should not be
discarded with your ordinary household waste – for further details please refer to the “Information on
Proper Disposal” mentioned in this operation manual.
• Should repair become necessary, please contact your retailer. You can also contact your local Sharp
approved service centre (see Sharp local website).
What can you do to contribute towards helping to protect the environment?
• Please do not leave your TV in stand-by mode, unplug it when it is not used for a long time. There is
zero energy consumption if you unplug your TV or nearly zero watt if the TV has a hard-off-switch. The
location is described in this operation manual.
• The energy consumption in the on-mode can be reduced by lowering the brightness of the backlight
when the unit is in operation. This will reduce overall running costs.
