· As a part of policy of continuous improvement, SHARP reserves the right to make design and specification changes for product improvement without prior notice. The performance specification figures indicated are nominal values of production units. There may be some deviations from these in individual units.

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 LCD panel to malfunction. Storage temperature: ­20°C to +60°C.

Service work should be performed only by qualified service technicians who are thoroughly familiar with all safety checks and the servicing guidelines which follow:

IMPORTANT SERVICE SAFETY PRECAUTION

WARNING

1. For continued safety, no modification of any circuit should be attempted. 2. Disconnect AC power before servicing. CAUTION: FOR CONTINUED PROTECTION AGAINST A RISK OF FIRE REPLACE ONLY WITH SAME TYPE F701 (4A / 250 V)

BEFORE RETURNING THE RECEIVER (Fire & Shock Hazard)
Before returning the receiver to the user, perform the following safety checks: 1. Inspect all lead dress to make certain that leads are not pinched, and check that hardware is not lodged between the chassis and other metal parts in the receiver. 2. Inspect all protective devices such as non-metallic control knobs, insulation materials, cabinet backs, adjustment and compartment covers or shields, isolation resistor-capacitor networks, mechanical insulators, etc. 3. To be sure that no shock hazard exists, check for leakage current in the following manner. · Plug the AC cord directly into a 220~240 volt AC outlet. (Do not use an isolation transformer for this test). ·Using two clip leads, connect a 1.5k ohm, 10 watt resistor paralleled by a 0.15µF capacitor in series with all exposed metal cabinet parts and a known earth ground, such as electrical conduit or electrical ground connected to an earth ground. ·A true RMS reading multimeter should be used for this test, especially where the equipment uses a switch mode power supply which may result in very non-sinusoidal leakage current. ·Connect the resistor connection to all exposed metal parts having a return to the chassis (antenna, metal cabinet, screw heads, knobs and control shafts, escutcheon, etc.) and measure the AC voltage drop across the resistor. All checks must be repeated with the AC cord plug connection reversed. (If necessary, a nonpolarized adaptor plug must be used only for the purpose of completing these checks.) Any reading of 0.75V peak (this corresponds to 0.5 mA. peak AC.) or more is excessive and indicates a potential shock hazard which must be corrected before returning the monitor to the owner.

SAFETY NOTICE

Many electrical and mechanical parts in LCD television have special safety-related characteristics. These characteristics are often not evident from visual inspection, nor can protection afforded by them be necessarily increased by using replacement components rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc. Replacement parts which have these special safety characteristics are identified in this manual; electrical components having such features are identified by " ! ". For continued protection, replacement parts must be identical to those used in the original circuit. The use of a substitute replacement parts which do not have the same safety characteristics as the factory recommended replacement parts shown in this service manual, may create shock, fire or other hazards.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USING LEAD-FREE SOLDER 1 Employing lead-free solder

"ALL PWB" of this model employs lead-free solder. The LF symbol indicates lead-free solder, and is attached on the PWBs and service manuals. The alphabetical character following LF shows the type of lead-free solder. Example:
e:

LFa
Indicates lead-free solder of tin, silver and copper.

2 Using lead-free wire solder
When fixing the PWB soldered with the lead-free solder, apply lead-free wire solder. Repairing with conventional lead wire solder may cause damage or accident due to cracks. As the melting point of lead-free solder (Sn-Ag-Cu) is higher than the lead wire solder by 40°C, we recommend you to use a dedicated soldering bit, if you are not familiar with how to obtain lead-free wire solder or soldering bit, contact our service station or service branch in your area.

3 Soldering
As the melting point of lead-free solder (Sn-Ag-Cu) is about 220°C which is higher than the conventional lead solder by 40°C, and as it has poor solder wettability, you may be apt to keep the soldering bit in contact with the PWB for extended period of time. However, Since the land may be peeled off or the maximum heat-resistance temperature of parts may be exceeded, remove the bit from the PWB as soon as you confirm the steady soldering condition. Lead-free solder contains more tin, and the end of the soldering bit may be easily corroded. Make sure to turn on and off the power of the bit as required. If a different type of solder stays on the tip of the soldering bit, it is alloyed with lead-free solder. Clean the bit after every use of it. When the tip of the soldering bit is blackened during use, file it with steel wool or fine sandpaper. Be careful when replacing parts with polarity indication on the PWB silk. Lead-free wire solder for servicing.

SERVICE ADJUSTMENTS
The adjustment values are set to their optimum at the factory before shipping. If by any chance a value should become improper or a readjustment is required due to part replacement, make an adjustment according to the following procedure.

1 Entering and exiting the adjustment process mode
1- Unplug the AC power cord of TV set to force power off. 2- While holding down the "VOL (­)" and "INPUT" keys on the set at once, plug in the AC power cord to turn on the set. The letter K appears on the screen: "K" color guide: 3- Next, hold down the "VOL (--)" and "P (--)" keys on the set at once. Multiple lines of orange characters appear ing onscreen indicate that the set is now in the adjustment process mode. If you fail to enter the adjustment process mode (the display is the same as normal startup), retry the procedure. 4- To exit the adjustment process mode after the adjustment is done, unplug the AC power cord to force off the power. (When the power is turned off with the remote controller, once unplug the AC power cord and plug it in again. In this case, wait 10 seconds or so before plugging.) Caution: Use due care in handling the information described here lest the users should know how to enter the adjustment process mode.

(Page 9/11 of process adjustment) The pattern for checking the adjustment status is toggled by pressing the "6" button on the remote control.(Normal OSD display -> "6" -> pattern for check (OSD disappears) -> "6" -> normal OSD display -> ...) 2- Read the value of the luminance meter. 3- Change M GAMMA R6/M GAMMA B6 (adjustment offset value) on page 9/11 of process adjustment so that the values of the luminance meter approach x = 0.2757 and y = 0.2825. (Basically, G is not changed. If adjustment fails only with R and B, then G should be reduced. In this case, the weaker of R and B must be fixed.) 4- If G is changed in step "3", change the values of M GAMMA G1 - M GAMMA G5 on pages 8/11 and 9/11 of process adjustment as follows. When not changed, go to step "5". Offset value of M GAMMA G1 = (Offset value of M GAMMA G6)*(160/960) Offset value of M GAMMA G2 = (Offset value of M GAMMA G6)*(320/960) Offset value of M GAMMA G3 = (Offset value of M GAMMA G6)*(480/960) Offset value of M GAMMA G4 = (Offset value of M GAMMA G6)*(640/960) Offset value of M GAMMA G5 = (Offset value of M GAMMA G6)*(800/960) 5-Display the adjustment status of the current point 5.

The memory and program ROM are integrated in the IC. Modular design and deep submicron technology allow the integration of audio, video, teletext, OSD, and controller-related functionalities. They cover the whole range of flat-panel display TVs. The IC is based on proven functional blocks of existing products like VCT 49xxI, VSP 94x5B, and DPS 94xxB. Each member of the IC family contains the entire audio, video, upconversion processing for 4:3 and 16:9 50/60 Hz progressive or 100/120 Hz interlaced stereo TV sets plus the control/data interface for flat-panel displays. The integrated microcontroller is supported by a powerful OSD and graphics generator with integrated teletext acquisition. The VCT 6wxyP family provides a front-end video processing unit with 4 CVBS-Y/C or component inputs for HDTV, EDTV, and SDTV. A VBI slicer, support of 1000 pages of teletext, and a 3-D comb filter for PAL and NTSC (in certain versions) are also available. The front-end unit further allows to process an SD and an HD source in parallel, thus enabling PiP and PaP functionality. Motion-adaptive de-interlacing, temporal noise reduction, and film mode detection are based on a unified memory technology. Post-scaling in the display processing block ensures the desired output format. Display processing is supported by an 8-bit 8051-compatible controller. By means of powerful alpha-blending, the graphics mixer composes the output image from following image layers: the video layer, the OSD layer and the pixel graphics layer. The audio part consists of a multistandard sound IF demodulator and a baseband processor supporting all desired sound features in this range. A connection for additional features, such as advanced motion compensation via -Micronas' FRC 94xyA, is also provided.
