Important information regarding use of video games, computers, captions and other fixed image displays.

  • The extended use of fixed image program material can cause a permanent “shadow image ” on the LCD screen (this is sometimes incorrectly referred to as “burnout to the screen”). This shadow image is then permanently visible on the screen in the background. It is irreversible damage. You can avoid such a damage by following instructions below:
  • Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum viewing level. · Do not display the fixed image for a long period of time. Avoid display- ing of:

» Teletext time and charts,
» TV/DVD menu, e.g. DVD contents,
» In the,,Pause” mode (hold): Do not use this mode for a long time, e.g. while watching a DVD or a video.
» Turn off the appliance if you are not using it.

Batteries

  • Observe the correct polarity when inserting the batteries.
  • Do not expose batteries to high temperatures and do not place them on locations where the temperature might increase quickly, e.g. near the fire or on the direct sunshine.
  • Do not expose batteries to excessive radiant heat, Cd do not throw them into the fire, do not disassemble them and do not try to recharge un-rechargeable batteries. They could leak or explode.

» Never use different batteries together or mix new and old ones.
» Dispose of batteries in an environmentally friendly way.
» Most of the EU countries regulate the disposal of batteries by law.

Disposal

  • Do not dispose of this TV as unsorted municipal waste. Return it to a designated collection point for the recycling of WEEE. By doing so, you will help to conserve resources and protect the environment. Contact your retailer or local authorities for more information.

    According to the Quick Start Guide for Sharp Android TVs, here are the methods to connect to the internet:

    Wired Connection (Ethernet)

    This is a stable and simple way to connect if your TV is near your internet router.

    1. Connect a Cat 5/Ethernet cable (not included) from the Ethernet port on the back of your TV to your broadband modem or router. The port is usually labeled as LAN or with the symbol ⟨⟩.
    2. The TV should automatically detect the connection.

    Wireless Connection (Wi-Fi)

    Your TV is Wi-Fi certified, allowing you to connect to your home wireless network.

    • During Initial Setup: When you first turn on the TV, the 'First Time Installation' menu will guide you through the setup process, which includes connecting to a Wi-Fi network. You will need to select your network name (SSID) and enter your password.
    • Connecting After Setup: If you need to connect to Wi-Fi after the initial setup, follow these general steps for Android TV:
    1. Press the HOME button on your remote control to go to the Android TV Home screen.
    2. Navigate to the Settings icon (usually shaped like a gear) and select it.
    3. Select Network & Internet.
    4. Make sure the Wi-Fi toggle is turned on.
    5. Select your Wi-Fi network from the list of available networks.
    6. Enter your password using the on-screen keyboard and select the option to connect.

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    How do I fix my Sharp Android TV showing 'PROTECTED MODE' and missing apps after a power outage?

    Answer

    Based on your description, your Sharp Android TV has likely entered a software state similar to 'Safe Mode' or a hardware protection state due to the power surge. While the manual does not explicitly define a 'Protected Mode' text overlay, it provides steps for recovery after electrical disturbances.

    • Perform a Power Reset: Although you have already restarted it, try a 'cold boot.' Unplug the TV from the mains socket, wait at least 60 seconds to allow all internal capacitors to discharge, and then plug it back in.
    • Check for Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Recovery: The manual notes that in cases of electrostatic discharge or incorrect function, you should switch the TV off and back on using the Standby button on the remote or the TV Control Stick (located on the lower left corner of the back side) to resume normal operation.
    • Restore Missing Apps: If the Yle Areena app is missing from your presets, press the HOME button, navigate to Apps, and look for it in the full app list. You may need to re-add it to your favorites or re-download it from the Google Play Store if the system data was corrupted during the outage.
    • Factory Reset: If the 'Protected Mode' text persists, you may need to perform a factory reset. Go to Settings > Device Preferences > Reset. Note that this will erase all your settings and presets.

    If the loud 'roar and scream' noise returns or the 'Protected Mode' message does not disappear after a factory reset, the power outage may have caused hardware damage to the internal power board or mainboard. In this case, you should contact Sharp's authorized service agent as the manual warns that there are no user-serviceable parts inside.

    è possibile collegare un hard disk esterno per registrare programmi?
    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    Is it possible to connect an external hard drive to record programs on a Sharp Android TV?

    Answer

    Based on the provided manual for Sharp Android TVs, the recording functionality (PVR) depends on your specific region and model. Here are the key details regarding recording to an external drive:

    • Regional Availability: The manual explicitly states that the PVR (Personal Video Recorder) function is not available in Italy, Germany, Austria, or Switzerland.
    • USB Requirements: If you are in a supported region, the TV supports playback from USB storage drives, but they must be formatted to FAT16 or FAT32 file systems. The manual notes that NTFS is not supported for media playback, which typically extends to recording functions as well.
    • Connection: You can connect an external device via the USB ports located on the back or side of the TV.

    If you are located in Italy (as suggested by the Italian translation in your comment), this feature is disabled on the TV software due to regional restrictions.

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    Is a network code required to receive free channels on the Sharp Android TV 43BL2EA, and where can I find it?

    Answer

    Based on the Sharp Android TV user guide, there are two types of "codes" you might be encountering during setup, but neither is strictly required just to receive free-to-air channels:

    • Wi-Fi/Network Password: If the TV is asking for a "network code" immediately after installation, it is likely asking for your home Wi-Fi password to enable Smart features (like YouTube or Netflix). You can find this on your internet router. You can usually skip this step if you only want to watch cable TV.
    • PIN Code: During the "First Time Installation," the TV may ask you to set a 4-digit PIN. This is a security code you create yourself for parental controls. If you haven't set one yet, the default is often 0000, 1111, or 1234.

    To receive free channels via cable:

    1. Ensure your cable is connected to the RF IN socket on the back of the TV.
    2. Run the First Time Installation and select "Cable" as the scan type.
    3. If your cable provider requires a specific "Network ID" or "Frequency" to start the scan, you must obtain these values directly from your cable service provider's website or support line.

    If the TV is asking for a code to unlock specific channels, those may be encrypted (pay-TV) channels that require a CI+ module and a subscription card from your provider.

  5. Despite the update, no favorites list can be created. There is nothing in the Quick Guide/online manual.

    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    How do I create a favorites list on my Sharp Android TV?

    Answer

    You are correct, the Quick Start Guide provided does not contain detailed instructions for all of the TV's features, such as creating a favorites list. As mentioned in the guide, the complete user manual is available electronically on your TV.

    While the exact steps can vary slightly between different Sharp Android TV models, the general process for creating a favorites list is as follows:

    1. While watching Live TV, press the OK or List button on your remote control to open the channel list.
    2. With the channel list displayed, press the MENU or OPTIONS button on your remote. This should open a new menu with more channel options.
    3. Look for an option such as Channel Edit, Edit Favourites, or simply Favourites. Select it.
    4. You should now see a list of all your channels. Navigate to a channel you want to add to your favorites and select it. There is often an on-screen prompt or a specific button on the remote (sometimes a colored button) to press to add the selected channel to the favorites list.
    5. Repeat this step for all the channels you wish to add.
    6. Once you have finished, press the EXIT or BACK button to save your changes and leave the menu.

    To view your newly created favorites list, you can usually open the channel list again and switch to the "Favorites" tab or group.

    Please note: These are general instructions. For the precise steps for your specific model, please consult the full electronic manual on your TV. You can typically access it by pressing the HOME button, selecting Apps, and then choosing "E-instruction Manual" from the list.

  6. I can’t stream from my iPhone XR to the tv match but then the tv doesn’t see or recognize iphone
    Non riesco a trasmettere dal mio iPhone XR alla tv si abbinano ma poi la tv non vede o riconosce iphone

    Rita ida asks <em>I can't stream from my iPhone XR to the tv match but then the tv doesn't see or recognize iphone<e/em>
    Non riesco a trasmettere dal mio iPhone XR alla tv si abbinano ma poi la tv non vede o riconosce iphone
    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    How can I stream from my iPhone XR to my Sharp Android TV when the TV does not recognize the device?

    Answer

    To stream from an iPhone to a Sharp Android TV, you typically use the Chromecast built-in feature or a third-party app, as Android TVs do not always support Apple AirPlay natively depending on the specific model year.

    Follow these troubleshooting steps to get your iPhone recognized:

    • Check Network Connection: Ensure both your iPhone XR and your Sharp TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. If one is on a 5GHz band and the other on 2.4GHz, they may not see each other.
    • Use Google Home App: Since the manual confirms the TV has Chromecast built-in, download the Google Home app on your iPhone. This app is often required to properly "see" and set up the connection between an iOS device and an Android TV.
    • Update Software: Ensure your TV software is up to date. Go to Settings > Device Preferences > About > System Update.
    • Restart Devices: Perform a power cycle on your router, your iPhone, and your TV (unplug the TV from the wall for 60 seconds).
    • Check App Compatibility: Open a Cast-enabled app (like YouTube or Netflix) on your iPhone and look for the Cast icon (a rectangle with Wi-Fi waves in the corner). If the icon appears there but not in general screen mirroring, the TV may only support casting from specific apps rather than full screen mirroring.

    If you are trying to mirror your entire screen and it still fails, you may need to install an app from the Google Play Store on the TV such as AirScreen or Replica to enable AirPlay-like functionality.

  7. How do I connect my Sharp Android to an old analogue component tp boost sound

    Rogelio Contento asks How do I connect my Sharp Android to an old analogue component tp boost sound
    Manuals+ clarified question
    Question

    How do I connect my Sharp Android TV to an old analogue audio component to boost the sound?

    Answer

    To connect your Sharp Android TV to an older analogue audio component (such as a Hi-Fi system or amplifier), you have a few options depending on the ports available on your specific model and your audio equipment:

    • Headphone Jack: Most Sharp Android TVs include a 3.5mm headphone output. You can use a 3.5mm to RCA cable (red and white plugs) to connect the TV's headphone jack to the "AUX" or "Line In" ports on your analogue component.
    • Mini AV / Mini YPbPr Ports: Some models feature a "Mini AV" or "Mini YPbPr" port. While these are primarily for input, older analogue systems often used these RCA-style connections. Check the Connecting external devices diagram on page 99 of the manual to identify these ports.
    • Digital to Analogue Converter (DAC): If your TV only has a "Digital Optical Audio Out" (as shown on page 99) and your component only has analogue RCA inputs, you will need an external Digital to Analogue Audio Converter. You would connect an optical cable from the TV to the converter, and then RCA cables from the converter to your audio component.

    Important Setup Note: Once connected, you may need to adjust the TV settings. Go to Settings > Device Preferences > Sound to ensure the audio output is directed to the correct external source. If using the headphone jack, the TV speakers will usually mute automatically.
