How does the optical picture control work on a sharp TV?
When the TV is set to “On Display”, the Optical Picture Control (OPC) senses the surrounding light and automatically adjusts the backlight brightness; this will also display the green leaves on the LCD display. To disable this feature, go into the “Picture Settings” located in the Menu guide and set the OPC feature to “Off”.
Where is the serial number on a sharp TV?
On the back of the TV on a sticker that shows a bar code and serial number. This sticker may be on either the right or left side, depending on the model; but is normally located in the lower half of the back of the TV. The model number may also be visible on the side of the TV panel.
What kind of audio can I output from my sharp TV?
If you are watching TV, through the tuner connection, you can output HD audio using the Digital Optical Audio. If your source is connected via HDMI, it will let you output audio from the digital output, but it will down-sample the audio and output 2-channel stereo.
How do you change batteries on sharp TV?
Make sure you have replaced old batteries and they are positioned correctly in the battery compartment. If the remote control still does not work, reset the remote control by removing the batteries. Then press and hold the POWER BUTTON for 30 seconds. Insert the new batteries and press TV and POWER to turn “On” the television.
