Important information

Hard disk (HDD)

This TV set records programmes onto a hard disk

drive (HDD). The hard disk is equipped with a safety

mechanism to protect data from impact, vibration and

dust. However, to prevent loss of recorded data, you

should be particularly careful of the following points:

• Do not subject the TV set to any impact.

• Do not use in a location which is unstable or subject to

vibration.

• Do not move the TV set while the power is on.

• Do not unplug the power cord from the AC outlet during

recording or playback. First turn power “OFF” (the

STANDBY indicator glows red), and then unplug the power

cord from the AC outlet.

• Do not use in a location with abrupt temperature variation

(variation of more than 10°C per hour).

• The TV set will malfunction if used in a cold location (5°C or

less) or an extremely hot location (35°C or higher).

• If you carry the TV set from a cold location to a warm

location, let the TV set sit for a while before using it.

• In the unlikely event that the hard disk (HDD) malfunctions

for some reason, you cannot replace it by yourself. If you

disassemble the TV set you will void the warranty. Please

contact the nearest service centre approved by SHARP.

We cannot provide compensation for data content if data is

lost or not recorded.

This TV set has a built-in hard disk drive

(abbreviated as “HDD”) for recording and playback.

Beware of the following points when setting up

and using the TV set. Failure to observe these

precautions may cause damage to the HDD itself

or its content, failure of the disk to operate, or

recording of noise.

• Do not subject the TV set to any vibration or impact.

• Do not place the TV set in a cramped location which might

block the cooling fan or ventilation port on the back of the

TV set.

• Do not place the TV set in a location with severe

temperature variation.

If the TV set is set up in a location with severe temperature

variation, dew may form on and inside the TV set. If the

TV set is used with internal dew formation present, this

may cause HDD damage or malfunction. We recommend

keeping variation in room temperature within 10˚C per hour.

• Do not place the TV set in a location with high humidity.

• Place the TV set horizontally, never at an incline.

• When the power is on, do not unplug the power cord from

the AC outlet, do not turn off the breaker for the area where

the TV set is set up, and do not move the TV set.

When moving the TV set, first turn off the power (the

STANDBY indicator glows red) and then unplug the power

cord from the AC outlet.

Unrecordable material

• The only signals that can be recorded are those from the

internal analog & digital tuners and external CVBS & Y/C

signals.

• When recording a signal other than the signal being

watched, some signals cannot be recorded depending on

the signal being viewed.

• This TV set is equipped with a copy guard function that

prevents the recording of broadcast programmes that

contain a signal that restricts copying in accordance with

copyrights and so forth.

• If a copy guard signal is contained in a source video that

occurs partway through recording, recording is paused at

that point. Recording resumes when the copy guard signal

is no longer present, while no recordings will be made for

the part where the copy prevention signal is present.

In the unlikely event that there is a problem such

as the loss of recorded video or audio content

due to an HDD malfunction, please be aware

beforehand that SHARP will bear no responsibility

to compensate for the content which could not

be recorded or edited, for the loss of recorded or

edited video, or for other related direct or indirect

damages.

If a power failure occurs

• The content being recorded or timer recorded may be

damaged if a power failure occurs.

• The content being played back may be damaged.

For important recording

• If the HDD malfunctions, the content recorded on the HDD

may be lost. If you wish to save content permanently, we

recommend copying or moving the content to DVD-RW or

DVD-R.

NOTE

• If a message indicating an HDD error is displayed and

the HDD has malfunctioned, you cannot replace the HDD

by yourself. If you disassemble the TV set, the warranty

will become void. Also, recovery of data is impossible. If

playback is possible, re-record the recorded content onto

a DVD-RW/R disc, and contact your nearest service centre

approved by SHARP.

• Recording and playback of any material may require

consent. Please refer particularly to the provisions of the

Protection Act 1958, the Performers Protection Acts 1963

and 1972 and to any subsequent statutory enactments

and orders.
